7.

Pledge of Assets.  

Buyer shall receive the Target Assets free from any lien; provided, however, that until the Expenses and Conversion Purchase Price have been paid to Seller, Seller shall retain its lien against the Buyer Assets.  Seller agrees to assist Buyer in the completion of its obligations related to the Company Purchase and to release its lien on an asset by asset basis, as is necessary to satisfy its obligations under the Company Purchase and assist Buyer in generating the funds necessary to pay the Expenses and Conversion Purchase Price; provided, that Seller shall not be required to release any assets unless Seller is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that it is fully secured with respect to any Expenses or Conversion Purchase Price outstanding.  As soon as the total Consideration has been paid, Seller shall fully release all liens and claims against the Buyer Assets.  Furthermore, Company shall enter into a new pledge with Seller to secure outstanding Expenses and Conversion Purchase Price for any assets transferred from Buyer to the Company until such time as those amounts have been fully paid.    Once the Expenses and Conversion Purchase Price has been paid in full and Seller has fully released all liens and claims against the Buyer Assets, Seller shall have no further duties or obligations to the Buyer or the Company.
