NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Softbank to extend such credit, OptiMark and Softbank hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I. DEFINITIONS Section 1.1. Definitions and Exhibits. Terms defined above or in the text of this Loan Agreement shall have the meanings set forth herein. Other capitalized terms shall have the meaning set forth in the Definitions Addendum, which is attached and incorporated herein. All exhibits to this Loan Agreement are also incorporated herein. ARTICLE II. THE COMMITMENT Section 2.1. Term Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, Softbank agrees to make a loan on the Closing Date to OptiMark in the principal amount of $940,000 (the "Principal Amount"). The Loan shall bear interest as provided in this Loan Agreement. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Notes, in the form set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, and this Loan Agreement. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, Softbank shall disburse the Loan amount, less (a) reimbursement to Softbank of fees and disbursements of Softbank's counsel in connection with this Loan Agreement including, without limitation, estimated fees in connection with the filing of Financing Statements (Form UCC-1) and other instruments advisable to perfect the Liens granted by the Security Agreement and Guarantees (in an amount specified in writing to OptiMark at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date), and (b) payment to Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., counsel to OptiMark, of fees and disbursements in connection with (i) past due invoices, and (ii) this Loan Agreement (in an amount specified in writing to OptiMark at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as OptiMark shall notify Softbank in writing at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date. Section 2.2. Evidence of Indebtedness. Softbank shall maintain records evidencing amounts of principal and interest paid by or on behalf of OptiMark to Softbank hereunder. The books and records of Softbank shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of all amounts of principal, interest and Costs and Fees, outstanding or repaid pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any Related Document. ARTICLE III. REPAYMENT, INTEREST AND CONVERSION Section 3.1. Payment Of Principal and Interest. The outstanding principal balance of the Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the 180th calendar day following the Closing Date (the "Maturity Date"). The outstanding principal balance due on the Loan shall be determined as specified in Section 3.2. The principal, interest and other sums due on the Notes or under the Loan Agreement shall be reflected by Softbank's records which will be prima facie evidence of the computation of the amounts owing by OptiMark to Softbank, absent manifest error. Section 3.2. Interest Rate, Interest Compounding, Outstanding Principal Balance. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at ten percent (10%) per annum, based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Interest shall be compounded every 90 days following the Closing Date and shall accrue from the Closing Date until the Loan is paid in full. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall accrue at the Default Rate specified in Section 4.2 hereof and shall also be compounded every 90 days following the Closing Date. OptiMark may, at its election, from time to time prior to the Maturity Date pay accrued and unpaid interest in cash. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.5 hereof, all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date in cash. All accrued but unpaid interest shall be added to the outstanding principal balance on the last day of each 90-day period following the Closing Date and after such compounding, interest shall accrue on such increased principal balance thereafter. If it is ever determined that the rate of interest was in excess of any maximum rate (if any) prescribed by law, then that portion of interest payments representing any amounts in excess of said maximum shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied by Softbank at any time against principal. Section 3.3. Prepayment. The Loan may be prepaid at any time or from time to time in whole or in part without prepayment fee, premium or penalty. Any prepayment shall first be applied to Costs and Fees, if any, described in Section 4.1, then to interest and then to principal, or in such other order as Softbank may, in its sole discretion, determine. Section 3.4. Manner, Method, Place, Time and Application of Payment, Reinstatement, Waivers. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.5 hereof, all Obligations shall be paid in lawful currency of the United States and in immediately available funds to Softbank by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as Softbank or any assignee may designate in writing. The liability of OptiMark hereunder and under any Related Document shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of Softbank shall continue to the extent of any amount at any time paid by or on behalf of OptiMark if such amount shall thereafter be required to be restored, returned or forfeited by Softbank pursuant to any Requirement of Law, and OptiMark's liability therefor shall continue as if such amount had not been paid. OptiMark agrees that if for any reason any amount due hereunder or under any Related Document is paid by cashier's, certified teller's or other check, there shall be no discharge of OptiMark's obligation until said check be finally paid by the issuer thereof. All payments under this Loan Agreement shall be made without counterclaim, set-off, condition or qualification and free and clear of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, deductions or charges of any nature whatsoever and irrespective of any default by Softbank under this Loan Agreement or any Related Document. All payments (other than prepayments which shall be applied as specified in the preceding Section 3.3) shall be applied first against Costs and Fees, if any, described in Section 4.1, then against indemnities and all amounts due hereunder other than principal and interest, then against interest due on amounts in default, then against interest due on amounts not in default, and then against principal. Section 3.5. OII Capital Stock. (a) On or prior to the Maturity Date, in lieu of Softbank's receipt of re-payment of the Obligations in lawful currency of the United States in immediately available funds as provided in Section 3.4, Softbank may elect, in its sole discretion, by written notice delivered in the time periods provided in Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement (such agreement as defined herein) in the form set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (such amendment, "Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement"): (i) to require OptiMark to cause OptiMark, Inc. to deliver to Softbank eighty-nine (89) shares (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.5(b), Section 3.5(c) and Section 3.5(d) below) of OII Preferred Stock held by OptiMark, Inc. as re-payment of the Principal Amount; (ii) to decrease the number of shares of OII Common Stock held by Softbank that OptiMark has the right to reacquire pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.4 and 5.5 of that certain Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement, by and among OptiMark, OptiMark Innovations, OptiMark, Inc., Softbank, Draper Fisher Jurvetson ePlanet Ventures, L.P., Draper Fisher Jurvetson ePlanet Partners Fund, LLC and Draper Fisher Jurvetson ePlanet Ventures GmBH & Co.

(b) Adjustments to Number of Shares of OII Common Stock and OII Preferred Stock for Dividends and for Combinations or Subdivisions. In the event that OptiMark Innovations at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date but on or prior to the Maturity Date shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on shares of OII Common Stock payable in shares of OII Common Stock or any dividend on shares of OII Preferred Stock payable in shares of OII Preferred Stock or, in either case, in any right to acquire OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock, respectively, for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares of OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock, respectively (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in capital stock of OptiMark Innovations or in any right to acquire such capital stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock, as applicable, then the number of shares of OII Common Stock by which OptiMark's right to reacquire shall decrease pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(ii) or OII Preferred Stock which OptiMark shall be required to cause OptiMark, Inc. to deliver to Softbank pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i), as applicable, immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that OptiMark Innovations shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock payable in any right to acquire OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock, respectively, for no consideration, then OptiMark Innovations shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock, as the case may be, in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock. (c) Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. If the OII Preferred Stock which OptiMark shall be required to cause OptiMark, Inc. to deliver to Softbank pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall be exchanged for or changed into any other class or series of capital stock of any issuer, cash or any other property, right, or form of consideration, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 3.5(b)), then the number of shares of OII Preferred Stock that OptiMark shall be required to cause OptiMark, Inc. to deliver to Softbank pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other event, be modified so that the OII Preferred Stock to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall be replaced by, in lieu of the number of shares of OII Preferred Stock which Softbank would otherwise have been entitled to receive, such number of shares of the class or series of capital stock, such amount of cash or other property, right, or consideration, as the case may be, received by OptiMark, Inc. in exchange for the OII Preferred Stock to be delivered to Softbank pursuant to Section 3.5(a) immediately before such event.

For purposes of this Section 3.5(d), the following definitions apply: "Options" shall mean rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock (collectively, "OII Stock"). "Additional Shares of OII Common Stock" shall mean all shares of OII Common Stock issued by OptiMark Innovations after the Closing Date, other than shares of OII Common Stock issued or issuable: (1) upon exercise of Options to purchase OII Common Stock issued by OptiMark Innovations to its employees, directors or consultants with the approval of the board of directors of OptiMark Innovations; or (2) for which the number of shares of OII Common Stock to be received by Softbank pursuant to Section 3.5(a) has been adjusted pursuant to Section 3.5(b) or Section 3.5(c). "Additional Shares of OII Preferred Stock" shall mean all shares of OII Preferred Stock issued by OptiMark Innovations after the Closing Date, other than shares of OII Preferred Stock issued or issuable: (3) upon exercise of Options to purchase OII Preferred Stock issued by OptiMark Innovations to its employees, directors or consultants with the approval of the board of directors of OptiMark Innovations; or (4) for which the number of shares of OII Preferred Stock to be received by Softbank pursuant to Section 3.5(a) has been adjusted pursuant to Section 3.5(b) or Section 3.5(c). "OII Common Stock Conversion Price" shall be equal to US $2,500, initially, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.5(d)(iii). "OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price" shall be equal to US $10,000, initially, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.5(d)(iv). (ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) no adjustment in the OII Common Stock Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of OII Preferred Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3.5(d)(v) hereof) for an Additional Share of OII Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by OptiMark Innovations is less than the OII Common Stock Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue. (2) no adjustment in the OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of OII Preferred Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3.5(d)(v) hereof) for an Additional Share of OII Preferred Stock issued or deemed to be issued by OptiMark Innovations is less than the OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue. (iii) Adjustment of OII Common Stock Conversion Price. In the event OptiMark Innovations, at any time after the Closing Date but on or prior to the Maturity Date, shall issue Additional Shares of OII Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the OII Common Stock Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the OII Common Stock Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such OII Common Stock Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of OII Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of OII Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by OptiMark Innovations for the total number of Additional Shares of OII Common Stock so issued would purchase at such OII Common Stock Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of OII Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of OII Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of OII Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if any outstanding Options to purchase OII Common Stock had been fully exercised as of such date. (iv) Adjustment of OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price. In the event OptiMark Innovations, at any time after the Closing Date but on or prior to the Maturity Date, shall issue Additional Shares of OII Preferred Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of OII Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of OII Preferred Stock which the aggregate consideration received by OptiMark Innovations for the total number of Additional Shares of OII Preferred Stock so issued would purchase at such OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of OII Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of OII Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of OII Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if any outstanding Options to purchase OII Preferred Stock had been fully exercised as of such date. (v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 3.5(d), the consideration received by OptiMark Innovations for the issue of any Additional Shares of OII Common Stock or any Additional Shares of OII Preferred Stock shall be computed as follows: (1) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall: a. insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by OptiMark Innovations excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends; b. insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of OptiMark Innovations; and c. in the event Additional Shares of OII Common Stock are issued together with Additional Shares of OII Preferred Stock or other assets of OptiMark Innovations for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (a) and (b) above, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of OptiMark Innovations. (2) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by OptiMark Innovations for Additional Shares of OII Common Stock or Additional Shares of OII Preferred Stock relating to Options shall be determined by dividing: a. the total amount, if any, received or receivable by OptiMark Innovations as consideration for the issue of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to OptiMark Innovations upon the exercise of such Options, by b. the maximum number of shares of OII Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options. (vi) Effect of Adjustment of the Conversion Prices. In the event that either the OII Common Stock Conversion Price or the OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.5(d)(iii) or Section 3.5(d)(iv), respectively, the number of shares of OII Common Stock by which OptiMark's right to reacquire shall decrease pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(ii) OII Common Stock or OII Preferred Stock that OptiMark shall be required to cause OptiMark, Inc. deliver to Softbank on the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i), as applicable, shall be adjusted as follows: (1) the number of shares of OII Common Stock by which OptiMark's right to reacquire shall decrease pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(ii) shall be equal to US $50,000 divided by the OII Common Stock Conversion Price in effect on the Maturity Date; and (2) the number of shares of OII Preferred Stock to be delivered to Softbank pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) shall be equal to US $890,000 divided by the OII Preferred Stock Conversion Price in effect on the Maturity Date, provided, however, in no event shall OptiMark be required to cause OptiMark, Inc. to deliver to Softbank more shares of OII Preferred Stock than are owned by OptiMark, Inc. on the Closing Date (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, stock dividends and similar events).

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loan Agreements or the Related Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the foregoing, any election by Softbank in any proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the disallowance, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of Softbank for payment of the Obligations, any waiver of consent by Softbank with respect to any provisions of the Loan Agreements or of any Related Documents, the obtaining of any judgment against Borrower or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

SECURITY. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY GRANTS TO SOFTBANK A SECURITY INTEREST IN AND LIEN ON ALL COLLATERAL (AS DEFINED BELOW) OF THE GUARANTOR; AND WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF SUCH COLLATERAL, SOFTBANK SHALL HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF A SECURED PARTY UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, AS THE SAME MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN ADDITION TO THOSE RIGHTS GRANTED HEREIN AND IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT BETWEEN THE GUARANTOR AND SOFTBANK. "COLLATERAL" SHALL MEAN ALL ITEMS DESCRIBED IN SCHEDULE A HERETO. The Guarantor has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Guarantee and to grant to Softbank a security interest therein as herein provided, all of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; the execution and delivery and the performance hereof are not in contravention of any charter or by-law provision or of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor or its property are bound; this Guarantee constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and, as to enforcement, to general equity principles. As long as any amount remains unpaid on any of the Obligations, the Guarantor will not enter into or execute any security agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral, other than those security agreements and financing statements in favor of Softbank hereunder, and further will not file in any public office any financing statement or statements (or any documents or papers filed as such) covering the Collateral, other than financing statements in favor of Softbank hereunder, unless in any case the prior written consent of Softbank shall have been obtained. The Guarantor authorizes Softbank to file, in its discretion, in jurisdictions where this authorization will be given effect, a financing statement signed only by Softbank covering the Collateral, and hereby appoints Softbank as the Guarantor's attorney-in-fact to sign and file any such financing statements covering the Collateral. At the request of Softbank, the Guarantor will join Softbank in executing such documents as Softbank may reasonably determine, from time to time to be necessary or desirable under provisions of any applicable Uniform Commercial Code in effect where the Collateral is located or where the Guarantor conducts business; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor agrees to join Softbank, at Softbank's request, in executing one or more financing statements in form reasonably satisfactory to Softbank, and the Guarantor will pay the costs of filing or recording the same, or of filing or recording this Guarantee, in all public offices at any time and from time to time, whenever filing or recording of any such financing statement or of this Guarantee is reasonably deemed by Softbank to be necessary or desirable. In connection with the foregoing, it is agreed and understood between the parties hereto (and Softbank is hereby authorized to carry out and implement this agreement and understanding and the Guarantor hereby agrees to pay the costs thereof) that Softbank may, at any time or times, file as a financing statement any counterpart, copy or reproduction of this Guarantee. Softbank may from time to time: (a) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), transfer any of the Collateral into the name of Softbank or its nominee. (b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), notify parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to Softbank of any amounts due or to become due thereunder. (c) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise; surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligation of any nature of any party with respect thereto, all to the extent reasonable; and exercise all other rights of the Guarantor in any of the Collateral, except as hereinafter provided with respect to income from or interest on the Collateral. (d) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), take possession or control of any proceeds of the Collateral. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), the Guarantor shall have the right to receive all income from or interest on the Collateral, and if Softbank receives any such income or interest prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), Softbank shall pay the same promptly to the Guarantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default< (as defined in the Loan Agreements), if Guarantor receives any income from or interest on the Collateral, the same shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Softbank in the same medium in which received, shall not be commingled with any assets of Guarantor and shall be delivered to Softbank in the form received, properly endorsed to permit collection, not later than the next business day following the day of its receipt. Softbank shall apply the net cash received from such income or interest to payment of any of the Obligations, provided that Softbank shall account for and pay over to Guarantor any such income or interest remaining after payment in full of the Obligations then outstanding. So long as no Event of Default <(as defined in the Loan Agreements) shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) The Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Guarantee or the Loan Agreements; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right pertaining to Pledged Securities if, in Softbank's reasonable judgment, such action would have an adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or any part thereof; and, provided, further, that the Guarantor shall give Softbank at least five (5) days' written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such rights pertaining to Pledged Securities. (ii) Softbank shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Guarantor all such proxies and other instruments as the Guarantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Guarantor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i). Softbank shall never be under any obligation to collect, attempt to collect, protect or enforce the Collateral or any security therefor, which Guarantor agrees and undertakes to do at Guarantor's expense, but Softbank may do so in its reasonable discretion at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements) and at such time Softbank shall have the right to take any steps by judicial process or otherwise it may deem proper to effect the collection of all or any portion of the Collateral or to protect or to enforce the Collateral or any security therefor. All reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or paid by Softbank in connection with or incident to any such collection or attempt to collect the Collateral or actions to protect or enforce the Collateral or any security therefor shall be borne by the Guarantor or reimbursed by the Guarantor to Softbank upon demand. The proceeds received by Softbank as a result of any such actions in collecting or enforcing or protecting the Collateral shall be held by Softbank without liability for interest thereon and shall be applied by Softbank toward payment of the Obligations secured hereby. In the event Softbank shall reasonably pay any taxes, assessments, interests, costs, penalties or expenses incident to or in connection with the collection of the Collateral or protection or enforcement of the Collateral, Guarantor, upon demand of Softbank, shall pay to Softbank the full amount thereof with interest at a rate per annum equal to thereon from the date expended by Softbank until repaid at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate set forth in Section 3.2 of any of the Loan Agreements and calculated in the manner described in Section 4.2 of any of the Loan Agreements and so long as Softbank shall be entitled to any such payment, this Guarantee shall operate as security therefor as fully and to the same extent as it operates as security for payment of the other Obligations secured hereunder, and for the enforcement of such repayment Softbank shall have every right and remedy provided for enforcement of payment of the Obligations. The Guarantor agrees to take such actions and to execute such stock or bond powers and such other or different writings as Softbank may in writing reasonably request (and in the event it shall fail to do so, or if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), irrevocably authorizes Softbank to execute such writings as the Guarantor's agent and attorney-in-fact) further to perfect, confirm and assure Softbank's security interest in the Collateral and to assist Softbank's realization thereon including, without limitation, the right following occurrence and during continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements) to receive, indorse, and collect all instruments made payable to the Guarantor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof to the extent provided herein. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements) shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) Softbank shall have and may exercise with reference to the Collateral and the Obligations any or all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York, and as otherwise granted herein or under any other applicable law or under any other agreement now or hereafter in effect executed by Guarantor in favor of Softbank, including, without limitation, the right and power to sell, at public or private sale or sales, or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise utilize the Collateral and any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted under said Uniform Commercial Code after default by a debtor, and to apply the proceeds thereof toward payment of any reasonable costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses thereby incurred by Softbank and toward payment of the Obligations. Specifically and without limiting the foregoing, Softbank shall have the right to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral and of all books, records, papers and documents of Guarantor or in Guarantor's possession or control relating to the Collateral which are not already in Softbank's possession, and for such purpose may enter upon any premises upon which any of the Collateral or any security therefor or any of said books, records, papers and documents are situated and remove the same therefrom without any liability for trespass or damages thereby occasioned. To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor expressly waives any notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral and all other rights or remedies of Guarantor or formalities prescribed by law relative to sale or disposition of the Collateral or exercise of any other right or remedy of Softbank existing after default hereunder; and to the extent any such notice is required and cannot be waived, Guarantor agrees that if such notice is given in the manner provided in Section 13 hereof at least five (5) calendar days before the time of the sale or disposition, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and shall fully satisfy any requirement for giving of said notice. Softbank shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Softbank may adjourn any public or private sale. (b) Upon notice by Softbank to Guarantor, Softbank or its nominee or nominees shall have the sole and exclusive right to exercise all voting and consensual powers pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof and may exercise such powers in such manner as Softbank may elect. (c) All dividends, payments of interest and other distributions of every character made upon or in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be paid directly to and shall be held by Softbank as additional Collateral pledged under and subject to this Guarantee. (d) All rights to marshalling of assets of Guarantor, including any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived by Guarantor. (e) All recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by Softbank incident to sale, lease, transfer, assignment or other disposition, lease or utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be full proof of the matters stated therein and no other proof shall be requisite to establish full legal propriety of the sale or other action taken by Softbank or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto and all prerequisites of such sale or other action or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto shall be presumed conclusively to have been performed or to have occurred. 5. EXPENSES. THE GUARANTOR AGREES TO PAY ON DEMAND ALL REASONABLE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES OF SOFTBANK (INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF ITS COUNSEL) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF SOFTBANK HEREUNDER AND FURTHER AGREES THAT THE COLLATERAL SECURES SUCH PAYMENT. 6. SUBROGATION. THE GUARANTOR WILL NOT EXERCISE ANY RIGHTS WHICH IT MAY ACQUIRE BY WAY OF SUBROGATION OR BY ANY INDEMNITY, REIMBURSEMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT UNTIL ALL THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL. IF ANY AMOUNT SHALL BE PAID TO THE GUARANTOR IN VIOLATION OF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE HELD IN TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOFTBANK AND SHALL FORTHWITH BE PAID TO SOFTBANK TO BE CREDITED AND APPLIED TO THE OBLIGATIONS, WHETHER MATURED OR UNMATURED. 7. CONTINUING GUARANTEE. GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT BOTH THE GUARANTEE MADE BY THE GUARANTOR AND THE SECURITY INTERESTS GRANTED BY GUARANTOR TO SOFTBANK IN THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE EXISTING GUARANTEE SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AND THAT SUCH SECURITY INTERESTS HAVE NOT BEEN TERMINATED, AMENDED, MODIFIED OR RESCINDED. THIS IS A CONTINUING GUARANTEE AND SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AND BE BINDING UPON THE GUARANTOR, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS UNTIL WRITTEN NOTICE OF ITS REVOCATION SHALL ACTUALLY BE RECEIVED BY SOFTBANK. NO SUCH REVOCATION SHALL RELEASE THE GUARANTOR OR AFFECT IN ANY MANNER THE RIGHTS, REMEDIES, POWERS, SECURITY INTERESTS AND LIENS OF SOFTBANK UNDER THIS GUARANTEE WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING PRIOR TO ACTUAL RECEIPT BY SOFTBANK OF SUCH WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION. IF ANY OF THE PRESENT OR FUTURE OBLIGATIONS ARE GUARANTEED BY PERSONS, PARTNERSHIPS OR CORPORATIONS IN ADDITION TO THE GUARANTOR, THE DEATH, RELEASE OR DISCHARGE IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OR BANKRUPTCY, LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION OF ONE OR MORE OF THEM SHALL NOT DISCHARGE OR AFFECT THE LIABILITIES OF THE GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTEE. 8. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. NO FAILURE ON THE PART OF SOFTBANK TO EXERCISE, AND NO DELAY IN EXERCISING, ANY RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER HEREUNDER SHALL OPERATE AS A WAIVER THEREOF, NOR SHALL ANY SINGLE OR PARTIAL EXERCISE BY SOFTBANK OF ANY RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER HEREUNDER PRECLUDE ANY OTHER OR FUTURE EXERCISE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER. EACH AND EVERY RIGHT, REMEDY AND POWER HEREBY GRANTED TO SOFTBANK OR ALLOWED IT BY LAW OR OTHER AGREEMENT SHALL BE CUMULATIVE AND NOT EXCLUSIVE THE ONE OF ANY OTHER, AND MAY BE EXERCISED BY SOFTBANK FROM TIME TO TIME. 9. WAIVER OF NOTICE. THE UNDERSIGNED WAIVES NOTICE OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTEE AND OF THE MAKING OF ANY LOANS OR EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT TO THE BORROWER, PRESENTMENT TO OR DEMAND OR PAYMENT FROM ANYONE WHOMSOEVER LIABLE UPON ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF DISHONOR, PROTEST, NOTICE OF ANY SALE OF COLLATERAL SECURITY PLEDGED BY ANY OTHER PERSON AND ALL OTHER NOTICES WHATSOEVER, IN EACH CASE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 10.

THE GUARANTOR AGREES THAT SOFTBANK MAY RESORT TO THE GUARANTOR FOR PAYMENT OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, WHETHER OR NOT SOFTBANK SHALL HAVE RESORTED TO ANY COLLATERAL SECURITY, OR SHALL HAVE PROCEEDED AGAINST ANY OTHER OBLIGOR PRINCIPALLY OR SECONDARILY OBLIGATED WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loan Agreements or the Related Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the foregoing, any election by Softbank in any proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the disallowance, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of Softbank for payment of the Obligations, any waiver of consent by Softbank with respect to any provisions of the Loan Agreements or of any Related Documents, the obtaining of any judgment against Borrower or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

SECURITY. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY GRANTS TO SOFTBANK A SECURITY INTEREST IN AND LIEN ON ALL COLLATERAL (AS DEFINED BELOW) OF THE GUARANTOR; AND WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF SUCH COLLATERAL, SOFTBANK SHALL HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF A SECURED PARTY UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, AS THE SAME MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN ADDITION TO THOSE RIGHTS GRANTED HEREIN AND IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT BETWEEN THE GUARANTOR AND SOFTBANK. "COLLATERAL" SHALL MEAN ALL ITEMS DESCRIBED IN SCHEDULE A HERETO. The Guarantor has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Guarantee and to grant to Softbank a security interest therein as herein provided, all of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; the execution and delivery and the performance hereof are not in contravention of any charter or by-law provision or of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor or its property are bound; this Guarantee constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and, as to enforcement, to general equity principles. As long as any amount remains unpaid on any of the Obligations, the Guarantor will not enter into or execute any security agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral, other than those security agreements and financing statements in favor of Softbank hereunder, and further will not file in any public office any financing statement or statements (or any documents or papers filed as such) covering the Collateral, other than financing statements in favor of Softbank hereunder, unless in any case the prior written consent of Softbank shall have been obtained. The Guarantor authorizes Softbank to file, in its discretion, in jurisdictions where this authorization will be given effect, a financing statement signed only by Softbank covering the Collateral, and hereby appoints Softbank as the Guarantor's attorney-in-fact to sign and file any such financing statements covering the Collateral. At the request of Softbank, the Guarantor will join Softbank in executing such documents as Softbank may reasonably determine, from time to time to be necessary or desirable under provisions of any applicable Uniform Commercial Code in effect where the Collateral is located or where the Guarantor conducts business; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor agrees to join Softbank, at Softbank's request, in executing one or more financing statements in form reasonably satisfactory to Softbank, and the Guarantor will pay the costs of filing or recording the same, or of filing or recording this Guarantee, in all public offices at any time and from time to time, whenever filing or recording of any such financing statement or of this Guarantee is reasonably deemed by Softbank to be necessary or desirable. In connection with the foregoing, it is agreed and understood between the parties hereto (and Softbank is hereby authorized to carry out and implement this agreement and understanding and the Guarantor hereby agrees to pay the costs thereof) that Softbank may, at any time or times, file as a financing statement any counterpart, copy or reproduction of this Guarantee. Softbank may from time to time: (a) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), transfer any of the Collateral into the name of Softbank or its nominee. (b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), notify parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to Softbank of any amounts due or to become due thereunder. (c) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default(as defined in the Loan Agreements), enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise; surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligation of any nature of any party with respect thereto, all to the extent reasonable; and exercise all other rights of the Guarantor in any of the Collateral, except as hereinafter provided with respect to income from or interest on the Collateral. (d) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default(as defined in the Loan Agreements), take possession or control of any proceeds of the Collateral. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default(as defined in the Loan Agreements), the Guarantor shall have the right to receive all income from or interest on the Collateral, and if Softbank receives any such income or interest prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements), Softbank shall pay the same promptly to the Guarantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default(as defined in the Loan Agreements), if Guarantor receives any income from or interest on the Collateral, the same shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Softbank in the same medium in which received, shall not be commingled with any assets of Guarantor and shall be delivered to Softbank in the form received, properly endorsed to permit collection, not later than the next business day following the day of its receipt. Softbank shall apply the net cash received from such income or interest to payment of any of the Obligations, provided that Softbank shall account for and pay over to Guarantor any such income or interest remaining after payment in full of the Obligations then outstanding. So long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements) shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) The Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Guarantee or the Loan Agreements; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right pertaining to Pledged Securities if, in Softbank's reasonable judgment, such action would have an adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or any part thereof; and, provided, further, that the Guarantor shall give Softbank at least five (5) days' written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such rights pertaining to Pledged Securities. (ii) Softbank shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Guarantor all such proxies and other instruments as the Guarantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Guarantor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i). Softbank shall never be under any obligation to collect, attempt to collect, protect or enforce the Collateral or any security therefor, which Guarantor agrees and undertakes to do at Guarantor's expense, but Softbank may do so in its reasonable discretion at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements) and at such time Softbank shall have the right to take any steps by judicial process or otherwise it may deem proper to effect the collection of all or any portion of the Collateral or to protect or to enforce the Collateral or any security therefor. All reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or paid by Softbank in connection with or incident to any such collection or attempt to collect the Collateral or actions to protect or enforce the Collateral or any security therefor shall be borne by the Guarantor or reimbursed by the Guarantor to Softbank upon demand. The proceeds received by Softbank as a result of any such actions in collecting or enforcing or protecting the Collateral shall be held by Softbank without liability for interest thereon and shall be applied by Softbank toward payment of the Obligations secured hereby. In the event Softbank shall reasonably pay any taxes, assessments, interests, costs, penalties or expenses incident to or in connection with the collection of the Collateral or protection or enforcement of the Collateral, Guarantor, upon demand of Softbank, shall pay to Softbank the full amount thereof with interest at a rate per annum equal to thereon from the date expended by Softbank until repaid at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate set forth in Section 3.2 of any of the Loan Agreements and calculated in the manner described in Section 4.2 of any of the Loan Agreements and so long as Softbank shall be entitled to any such payment, this Guarantee shall operate as security therefor as fully and to the same extent as it operates as security for payment of the other Obligations secured hereunder, and for the enforcement of such repayment Softbank shall have every right and remedy provided for enforcement of payment of the Obligations. The Guarantor agrees to take such actions and to execute such stock or bond powers and such other or different writings as Softbank may in writing reasonably request (and in the event it shall fail to do so, or if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default(as defined in the Loan Agreements), irrevocably authorizes Softbank to execute such writings as the Guarantor's agent and attorney-in-fact) further to perfect, confirm and assure Softbank's security interest in the Collateral and to assist Softbank's realization thereon including, without limitation, the right following occurrence and during continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements) to receive, indorse, and collect all instruments made payable to the Guarantor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof to the extent provided herein. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreements) shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) Softbank shall have and may exercise with reference to the Collateral and the Obligations any or all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York, and as otherwise granted herein or under any other applicable law or under any other agreement now or hereafter in effect executed by Guarantor in favor of Softbank, including, without limitation, the right and power to sell, at public or private sale or sales, or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise utilize the Collateral and any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted under said Uniform Commercial Code after default by a debtor, and to apply the proceeds thereof toward payment of any reasonable costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses thereby incurred by Softbank and toward payment of the Obligations. Specifically and without limiting the foregoing, Softbank shall have the right to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral and of all books, records, papers and documents of Guarantor or in Guarantor's possession or control relating to the Collateral which are not already in Softbank's possession, and for such purpose may enter upon any premises upon which any of the Collateral or any security therefor or any of said books, records, papers and documents are situated and remove the same therefrom without any liability for trespass or damages thereby occasioned. To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor expressly waives any notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral and all other rights or remedies of Guarantor or formalities prescribed by law relative to sale or disposition of the Collateral or exercise of any other right or remedy of Softbank existing after default hereunder; and to the extent any such notice is required and cannot be waived, Guarantor agrees that if such notice is given in the manner provided in Section 13 hereof at least five (5) calendar days before the time of the sale or disposition, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and shall fully satisfy any requirement for giving of said notice. Softbank shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Softbank may adjourn any public or private sale. (b) Upon notice by Softbank to Guarantor, Softbank or its nominee or nominees shall have the sole and exclusive right to exercise all voting and consensual powers pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof and may exercise such powers in such manner as Softbank may elect. (c) All dividends, payments of interest and other distributions of every character made upon or in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be paid directly to and shall be held by Softbank as additional Collateral pledged under and subject to this Guarantee. (d) All rights to marshalling of assets of Guarantor, including any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived by Guarantor. (e) All recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by Softbank incident to sale, lease, transfer, assignment or other disposition, lease or utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be full proof of the matters stated therein and no other proof shall be requisite to establish full legal propriety of the sale or other action taken by Softbank or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto and all prerequisites of such sale or other action or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto shall be presumed conclusively to have been performed or to have occurred. 5. EXPENSES. THE GUARANTOR AGREES TO PAY ON DEMAND ALL REASONABLE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES OF SOFTBANK (INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF ITS COUNSEL) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF SOFTBANK HEREUNDER AND FURTHER AGREES THAT THE COLLATERAL SECURES SUCH PAYMENT. 6. SUBROGATION. THE GUARANTOR WILL NOT EXERCISE ANY RIGHTS WHICH IT MAY ACQUIRE BY WAY OF SUBROGATION OR BY ANY INDEMNITY, REIMBURSEMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT UNTIL ALL THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL. IF ANY AMOUNT SHALL BE PAID TO THE GUARANTOR IN VIOLATION OF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE HELD IN TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOFTBANK AND SHALL FORTHWITH BE PAID TO SOFTBANK TO BE CREDITED AND APPLIED TO THE OBLIGATIONS, WHETHER MATURED OR UNMATURED. 7. CONTINUING GUARANTEE. GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT BOTH THE GUARANTEE MADE BY THE GUARANTOR AND THE SECURITY INTERESTS GRANTED BY GUARANTOR TO SOFTBANK IN THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE EXISTING GUARANTEE SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AND THAT SUCH SECURITY INTERESTS HAVE NOT BEEN TERMINATED, AMENDED, MODIFIED OR RESCINDED. THIS IS A CONTINUING GUARANTEE AND SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AND BE BINDING UPON THE GUARANTOR, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS UNTIL WRITTEN NOTICE OF ITS REVOCATION SHALL ACTUALLY BE RECEIVED BY SOFTBANK. NO SUCH REVOCATION SHALL RELEASE THE GUARANTOR OR AFFECT IN ANY MANNER THE RIGHTS, REMEDIES, POWERS, SECURITY INTERESTS AND LIENS OF SOFTBANK UNDER THIS GUARANTEE WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING PRIOR TO ACTUAL RECEIPT BY SOFTBANK OF SUCH WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION. IF ANY OF THE PRESENT OR FUTURE OBLIGATIONS ARE GUARANTEED BY PERSONS, PARTNERSHIPS OR CORPORATIONS IN ADDITION TO THE GUARANTOR, THE DEATH, RELEASE OR DISCHARGE IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OR BANKRUPTCY, LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION OF ONE OR MORE OF THEM SHALL NOT DISCHARGE OR AFFECT THE LIABILITIES OF THE GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTEE. 8. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. NO FAILURE ON THE PART OF SOFTBANK TO EXERCISE, AND NO DELAY IN EXERCISING, ANY RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER HEREUNDER SHALL OPERATE AS A WAIVER THEREOF, NOR SHALL ANY SINGLE OR PARTIAL EXERCISE BY SOFTBANK OF ANY RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER HEREUNDER PRECLUDE ANY OTHER OR FUTURE EXERCISE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER. EACH AND EVERY RIGHT, REMEDY AND POWER HEREBY GRANTED TO SOFTBANK OR ALLOWED IT BY LAW OR OTHER AGREEMENT SHALL BE CUMULATIVE AND NOT EXCLUSIVE THE ONE OF ANY OTHER, AND MAY BE EXERCISED BY SOFTBANK FROM TIME TO TIME. 9. WAIVER OF NOTICE. THE UNDERSIGNED WAIVES NOTICE OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTEE AND OF THE MAKING OF ANY LOANS OR EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT TO THE BORROWER, PRESENTMENT TO OR DEMAND OR PAYMENT FROM ANYONE WHOMSOEVER LIABLE UPON ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF DISHONOR, PROTEST, NOTICE OF ANY SALE OF COLLATERAL SECURITY PLEDGED BY ANY OTHER PERSON AND ALL OTHER NOTICES WHATSOEVER, IN EACH CASE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 11. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE. 12. TERMINATION. THIS GUARANTEE AND THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREUNDER SHALL TERMINATE WHEN ALL THE OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN INDEFEASIBLY PAID IN FULL AND WHEN SOFTBANK HAS NO FURTHER OBLIGATION TO EXTEND CREDIT UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT RELATING TO OBLIGATIONS, AT WHICH TIME SOFTBANK SHALL EXECUTE AND DELIVER TO THE GUARANTOR ALL DOCUMENTS WHICH THE GUARANTOR SHALL REASONABLY REQUEST TO EVIDENCE TERMINATION OF SUCH SECURITY INTEREST AND SHALL RETURN PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF ANY COLLATERAL THEN HELD BY SOFTBANK TO THE GUARANTOR. 13.

Exhibit F Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of July 23, 2003, between OPTIMARK HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("OptiMark"), OPTIMARK, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and OPTIMARK US EQUITIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (each of OptiMark, Optimark, Inc. and OptiMark US Equities, Inc., a "Pledgor") and SOFTBANK CAPITAL PARTNERS LP, SOFTBANK CAPITAL ADVISORS FUND LP and SOFTBANK CAPITAL LP (collectively, "Softbank"). This Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement hereby amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2003 (the "Existing Pledge Agreement"), among Optimark Holdings, Inc. and Softbank. WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, (i) pursuant to the $750,000 Loan Agreement, dated as of November 27, 2002 (the "Original Loan Agreement"), Softbank extended credit to OptiMark, (ii) pursuant to the Loan Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2003, Softbank extended credit to OptiMark (together with the Original Loan Agreement, the "Existing Loan Agreements"), and (iii) pursuant to the Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "New Loan Agreement" and, collectively with the Existing Loan Agreements, the "Agreements"), Softbank has agreed to extend additional credit to OptiMark; WHEREAS, the security interests granted to Softbank by OptiMark pursuant to the Existing Pledge Agreement remain in full force and effect, and this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement shall not terminate, amend, modify or rescind such security interests; and WHEREAS, the obligation of Softbank to extend credit to OptiMark is conditioned upon the execution and delivery by each Pledgor of this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement to secure the due and punctual payment of the obligations of OptiMark to Softbank described below. NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE 1.PLEDGORS' GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL. For value received and to induce Softbank to make loans or otherwise extend credit to OptiMark pursuant to the New Loan Agreement, each Pledgor hereby grants to Softbank, as security for all obligations and liabilities of OptiMark on account of principal, interest (including interest at the Default Rate, as defined in the Agreements), Costs and Fees (as defined in the Agreements), obligations for indemnification and all other obligations and liabilities pursuant to the Agreements and the Related Documents (as defined in the Agreements) (the "Obligations"), a security interest in such Pledgor's right, title and interest in the property described in Schedule A hereto (collectively referred to as the "Collateral"). ARTICLE II.DELIVERY OF COLLATERAL. Any Pledged Securities (as defined in Schedule A hereto) shall be evidenced by certificates, all of which have been or shall be delivered to and held in the possession of Softbank or a third party acting on its behalf pursuant hereto. Upon delivery to Softbank, any Pledged Securities in certificated form 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 satisfactory to Softbank. ARTICLE III.WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF PLEDGORS. Each Pledgor warrants, covenants and agrees that: (a) Such Pledgor has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement and to grant to Softbank a security interest therein as herein provided, all of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; the execution and delivery and the performance hereof are not in contravention of any charter or by-law provision or of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which such Pledgor is a party or by which such Pledgor or its property are bound; this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and, as to enforcement, to general equity principles. (b) As long as any amount remains unpaid on any of the Obligations or any additional borrowings may be made by such Pledgor under any agreements entered into in connection with the Obligations, except as expressly permitted by any such agreements, (i) such Pledgor will not enter into or execute any security agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral, other than those security agreements and financing statements in favor of Softbank hereunder, and further (ii) such Pledgor shall not file in any public office any financing statement or statements (or any documents or papers filed as such) covering the Collateral, other than financing statements in favor of Softbank hereunder, unless in any case the prior written consent of Softbank shall have been obtained. (c) Each Pledgor authorizes Softbank to file, in its discretion, in jurisdictions where this authorization will be given effect, a financing statement covering the Collateral, and hereby appoints Softbank as such Pledgor's attorney-in-fact to file any such financing statements covering the Collateral. At the request of Softbank, each Pledgor will join Softbank in executing such documents as Softbank may determine, from time to time to be necessary or desirable under provisions of any applicable Uniform Commercial Code in effect where the Collateral is located or where such Pledgor conducts business; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees to join Softbank, at Softbank's request, in authorizing Softbank to file one or more financing statements in form satisfactory to Softbank, and such Pledgor will pay the costs of filing or recording the same, or of filing or recording this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, in all public offices at any time and from time to time, whenever filing or recording of any such financing statement or of this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement is deemed by Softbank to be necessary or desirable. In connection with the foregoing, it is agreed and understood between the parties hereto (and Softbank is hereby authorized to carry out and implement this agreement and understanding and each Pledgor hereby agrees to pay the costs thereof) that Softbank may, at any time or times, file as a financing statement any counterpart, copy or reproduction of this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement. ARTICLE IV.RIGHTS OF SOFTBANK AND PLEDGORS RELATED TO COLLATERAL. Softbank may from time to time: (a) At any time, with respect to Pledged Securities (as defined in Schedule A hereto) and following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), in the case of all other Collateral, transfer any of the Collateral into the name of Softbank or its nominee. (b) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), notify parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to Softbank of any amounts due or to become due thereunder. (c) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise; surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligation of any nature of any party with respect thereto in a commercially reasonable manner; and exercise all other rights of each Pledgor in any of the Collateral, except as hereinafter provided with respect to income from or interest on the Collateral. (d) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), take possession or control of any proceeds of the Collateral. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), each Pledgor shall have the right to receive all income from or interest on the Collateral, and if Softbank receives any such income or interest prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), Softbank shall pay the same promptly to such Pledgor, except that in the case of securities or other property distributed by way of a dividend or otherwise with respect to the Collateral, such securities or other property shall be promptly delivered to Softbank in a 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 satisfactory to Softbank and to be held as Pledged Securities or other Collateral hereunder. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), if any Pledgor receives any income or interest on the Collateral, the same shall be held by such Pledgor in trust for Softbank in the same medium in which received, shall not be commingled with any assets of any Pledgor and shall be delivered to Softbank in the form received, properly endorsed to permit collection, not later than the next business day following the day of its receipt. Softbank shall apply the net cash received from such income or interest to payment of any of the Obligations, provided that Softbank shall account for and pay over to such Pledgor any such income or interest remaining after payment in full of the Obligations then outstanding. So long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements) shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement or the Agreements; provided, however, that such Pledgor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right pertaining to Pledged Securities if, in Softbank's reasonable judgment, such action would have an adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or any part thereof; and, provided, further, that such Pledgor shall give Softbank at least five days' written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such rights pertaining to Pledged Securities. (ii) Softbank shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to any Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i). Softbank shall never be under any obligation to collect, attempt to collect, protect or enforce the Collateral or any security therefor, which each Pledgor agrees and undertakes to do at such Pledgor's expense, but Softbank may do so in its reasonable discretion at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements) and at such time Softbank shall have the right to take any steps by judicial process or otherwise it may deem proper to effect the collection of all or any portion of the Collateral or to protect or to enforce the Collateral or any security therefor. All reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or paid by Softbank in connection with or incident to any such collection or attempt to collect the Collateral or actions to protect or enforce the Collateral or any security therefor shall be borne by such Pledgor or reimbursed by such Pledgor to Softbank upon demand. The proceeds received by Softbank as a result of any such actions in collecting or enforcing or protecting the Collateral shall be held by Softbank without liability for interest thereon and shall be applied by Softbank as provided by Section 9. In the event Softbank shall reasonably pay any taxes, assessments, interests, costs, penalties or expenses incident to or in connection with the collection of the Collateral or protection or enforcement of the Collateral, the Pledgors, upon demand of Softbank, shall pay to Softbank the full amount thereof with interest at a rate per annum equal to thereon from the date expended by Softbank until repaid at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate set forth in Section 3.2 of any of the Agreements and calculated in the manner described in Section 4.2 of any of the Agreements and so long as Softbank shall be entitled to any such payment, this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement shall operate as security therefor as fully and to the same extent as it operates as security for payment of the other Obligations secured hereunder, and for the enforcement of such repayment Softbank shall have every right and remedy provided for enforcement of payment of the Obligations. ARTICLE V.FURTHER ASSURANCES; SOFTBANK AS AGENT. Each Pledgor agrees to take such actions and to execute such stock or bond powers and such other or different writings as Softbank may reasonably request (and in the event it shall fail to do so, or if these shall occurred and be continuing an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), irrevocably authorizes Softbank to execute such writings such Pledgor's agent and attorney-in- fact) further to perfect, confirm and assure Softbank's security interest in the Collateral and to assist Softbank's realization thereon including, without limitation, the right to receive, indorse, and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof to the extent provided herein. ARTICLE VI. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any "Event of Default" pursuant to Section 8.1 of any of the Agreements shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder. ARTICLE VII. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF SOFTBANK UPON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements) shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) Softbank shall have and may exercise with reference to the Collateral and the Obligations any or all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York, and as otherwise granted herein or under any other applicable law or under any other agreement now or hereafter in effect executed by any Pledgor in favor of Softbank, including, without limitation, the right and power to sell, at public or private sale or sales, or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise utilize the Collateral and any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted under said Uniform Commercial Code after default by a debtor, and to apply the proceeds thereof toward payment of any reasonable costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses thereby incurred by Softbank and toward payment of the Obligations as provided in Section 9. Specifically and without limiting the foregoing, Softbank shall have the right to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral and of all books, records, papers and documents of each Pledgor or in such Pledgor's possession or control relating to the Collateral which are not already in Softbank's possession, and for such purpose may enter upon any premises upon which any of the Collateral or any security therefor or any of said books, records, papers and documents are situated and remove the same therefrom without any liability for trespass or damages thereby occasioned. To the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor expressly waives any notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral and all other rights or remedies of such Pledgor or formalities prescribed by law relative to sale or disposition of the Collateral or exercise of any other right or remedy of Softbank existing after default hereunder; and to the extent any such notice is required and cannot be waived, each Pledgor agrees that if such notice is given in the manner provided in Section 13 hereof at least five (5) calendar days before the time of the sale or disposition, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and shall fully satisfy any requirement for giving of said notice. Softbank shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Softbank may adjourn any public or private sale. (b) Upon notice by Softbank to any Pledgor, Softbank or its nominee or nominees shall have the sole and exclusive right to exercise all voting and consensual powers pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof and may exercise such powers in such manner as Softbank may elect. (c) All dividends, payments of interest and other distributions of every character made upon or in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be paid directly to and shall be held by Softbank as additional Collateral pledged under and subject to this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement. (d) All rights to marshalling of assets of each Pledgor, including any such right with respects to the Collateral, are hereby waived by such Pledgor. (e) All recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by Softbank incident to sale, lease, transfer, assignment or other disposition, lease or utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be full proof of the matters stated therein and no other proof shall be requisite to establish full legal propriety of the sale or other action taken by Softbank or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto and all prerequisites of such sale or other action or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto shall be presumed conclusively to have been performed or to have occurred. ARTICLE VIII. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR PLEDGED SECURITIES. (a) Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the sale by Softbank of any Pledged Securities pursuant to the terms hereof in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 (as now in effect or as hereafter amended, or any similar statute hereafter adopted with similar purpose or effect, the "Securities Act"), as well as applicable "blue sky" or other state securities laws may require strict limitations as to the manner in which Softbank or any subsequent transferee of Pledged Securities may dispose of such securities. Each Pledgor understands that in order to protect Softbank's interest it may be necessary to sell the Pledged Securities at a price less than the maximum price attainable if a sale were delayed or were made in another manner, such as a public offering requested under the Securities Act. No Pledgor has any objection to sale in such a manner, and each Pledgor agrees that Softbank shall have no obligation to obtain the maximum possible price for the Pledged Securities. (b) Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreements), if for any reason Softbank desires to sell any Pledged Securities at a public or private sale and in connection with such sale, in the reasonable opinion of Softbank, no exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act is available, such Pledgor will, upon the written request of Softbank, at such Pledgor's own expense: (i) use its best efforts to cause such Pledged Securities to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Softbank, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto; (ii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless Softbank and any underwriter from and against all losses, liability, reasonable expenses, reasonable costs, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including, without limitation, a reasonable estimate of the cost to Softbank of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) which they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Pledgor or the issuer of such Pledged Securities by Softbank expressly for use therein; (iii) use its best efforts to qualify such Pledged Securities under the state securities or "blue sky" laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of such Pledged Securities, as requested by Softbank; (iv) use its best efforts to cause each such issuer of such Pledged Securities to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earning statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; (v) bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 8; and (vi) use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of Pledged Securities or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable law. Nothing in this subsection (b) shall in any way alter the rights of Softbank under subsection (a) above. Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 8 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 8 may be specifically enforced. ARTICLE IX.APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS BY SOFTBANK. In the event Softbank sells or otherwise disposes of or realizes on the Collateral in the course of exercising the remedies provided for herein, any amounts held, realized or received by Softbank pursuant to the provisions hereof, including the proceeds of the sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, shall be applied by Softbank first toward the payment of any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Softbank in enforcing this Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, in realizing on or protecting any Collateral and in enforcing or collecting any Obligations or any guaranty thereof, including, without limitation, the actual reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred by Softbank (all of which costs and expenses are secured by the Collateral), all of which costs and expenses the Pledgors agree to pay, and then between interest and principal as Softbank may elect. Any amounts and any Collateral remaining after such application and after payment to Softbank of all of the Obligations in full shall be paid or delivered to the Pledgors, its successor or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Softbank 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 substantially equal to that which Softbank accords its own property, it being understood that Softbank shall not have any responsibility for Section 18.1. ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Softbank has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or Section 18.2. taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. ARTICLE X.PLEDGORS FULLY LIABLE. THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS RELIEVING ANY PLEDGOR FROM FULL LIABILITY ON THE OBLIGATIONS AND ANY AND ALL FUTURE AND OTHER INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY AND FOR ANY DEFICIENCY THEREON. ARTICLE XI.TERMINATION. THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREUNDER SHALL TERMINATE WHEN ALL THE OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN INDEFEASIBLY PAID IN FULL AND WHEN SOFTBANK HAS NO FURTHER OBLIGATION TO EXTEND CREDIT UNDER THE AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT RELATING TO OBLIGATIONS, AT WHICH TIME SOFTBANK SHALL EXECUTE AND DELIVER TO EACH PLEDGOR ALL DOCUMENTS WHICH SUCH PLEDGOR SHALL REASONABLY REQUEST TO EVIDENCE TERMINATION OF SUCH SECURITY INTEREST AND SHALL RETURN PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF ANY COLLATERAL THEN HELD BY SOFTBANK TO SUCH PLEDGOR; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ALL INDEMNITIES OF EACH PLEDGOR CONTAINED IN THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL SURVIVE, AND REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT REGARDLESS OF THE TERMINATION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST OR THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT. ARTICLE XII.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

EACH PLEDGOR AGREES TO PAY ON DEMAND ALL REASONABLE OUT-OF- POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF SOFTBANK'S COUNSEL, EXPERTS AND AGENTS) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF SOFTBANK HEREUNDER AND FURTHER AGREES THAT THE COLLATERAL SECURES SUCH PAYMENT. ARTICLE XV.NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. NO FAILURE ON THE PART OF SOFTBANK TO EXERCISE, AND NO DELAY IN EXERCISING, ANY RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER HEREUNDER SHALL OPERATE AS A WAIVER THEREOF, NOR SHALL ANY SINGLE OR PARTIAL EXERCISE BY SOFTBANK OF ANY RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER HEREUNDER PRECLUDE ANY OTHER OR FUTURE EXERCISE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT, REMEDY OR POWER. EACH AND EVERY RIGHT, REMEDY AND POWER HEREBY GRANTED TO SOFTBANK OR ALLOWED IT BY LAW OR OTHER AGREEMENT SHALL BE CUMULATIVE AND NOT EXCLUSIVE THE ONE OF ANY OTHER, AND MAY BE EXERCISED BY SOFTBANK FROM TIME TO TIME. ARTICLE XVI.SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. TO INDUCE SOFTBANK TO ENTER INTO THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO SOFTBANK'S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS WHICH IN ANY MANNER ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARE IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED IN COURTS HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK.
