for purposes of the provisions of this Agreement relating to such attachment, perfection, priority 
or remedies and for purposes of definitions related to such provisions; provided further, that to 
the extent that the UCC is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in 
different Articles or Divisions of the UCC, the definition of such term contained in Article or 
Division 9 shall govern.

Agreement, as each may be amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, 
collectively, referred to herein as the “Documents”), and in connection with any documents, 
instruments or agreements relating to or executed in connection with the Documents or any 
documents, instruments or agreements referred to therein or otherwise, and in connection with 
any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of each such Assignor to any Creditor Party,

or all of the Obligations in any case commenced by or against any Assignor under Title 11, 
United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of each Assignor 
for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the

                              every kind and nature (“Encumbrances”), except Permitted 
                              Encumbrances; 
 
                    (f)      it will, at its and the other Assignors’ joint and several cost and expense, 
                              keep the Collateral in good state of repair (ordinary wear and tear

                                        (i)       the proceeds of any such disposition are used to acquire 
                                                  replacement Collateral which is subject to the Agent’s first priority

                              Obligations and/or in the enforcement of this Master Security Agreement

                              and/or any of the Obligations and/or any of the Collateral except to the 
                              extent caused by the Agent’s or any Creditor Party’s own gross negligence 
                              or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction 
                              in a final and non-appealable decision). 
 
          4.       The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an 
Event of Default” under this Master Security Agreement: 
 
                    (a)      an Event of Default shall have occurred under and as defined in any 
                              Document; 
 
                    (b)      the loss, theft, substantial damage, destruction, sale or encumbrance to or 
                              of any of the Collateral or the making of any levy, seizure or attachment 
                              thereof or thereon except to the extent: 
 
                                        (i)      such loss is covered by insurance proceeds which are used to 
                                                  replace the item or repay the Agent; or
 
                                        (ii)      said levy, seizure or attachment does not secure indebtedness in 
                                                  excess of $100,000 and such levy, seizure or attachment has been 
                                                  removed or otherwise released within ten (10) days of the creation 
                                                  or the assertion thereof. 
 
                   5.        Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Agent 
                              may declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and the Agent shall have the remedies 
                              of a secured party provided in the UCC, this Agreement and other applicable law. Subject to the 
                              rights of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time 
                              thereafter, the Agent will have the right to take possession of the Collateral and to maintain such 
                              possession on its premises or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other premises 
                              as the Agent may desire.  Subject to the rights of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., upon the Agent’s 
                              request, each Assignor shall assemble or cause the Collateral to be assembled and make it 
 
 
4


available to the Agent at a place reasonably designated by the Agent. If any notification of 
intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, such notification, if mailed, shall be 
deemed properly and reasonably given if mailed at least ten (10) business days before such 
disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to the applicable Assignor either at any Assignor’s 
address shown herein or at any address appearing on the Agent’s records for such Assignor. Any 
proceeds of any disposition of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent to the payment 
of all expenses in connection with the sale of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees 
and other legal expenses and disbursements and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, 
preparing for sale, selling, and the like, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by the 
Agent toward the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as the Agent may elect, 
and each Assignor shall be liable for any deficiency. For the avoidance of doubt, following the 
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the 
immediate right to withdraw any and all monies contained in any deposit account in the name of 
any Assignor and controlled by the Agent and apply same to the repayment of the Obligations (in 
such order of application as the Agent may elect). The parties hereto each hereby agree that the 
exercise by any party hereto of any right granted to it or the exercise by any party hereto of any 
remedy available to it (including, without limitation, the issuance of a notice of redemption, a 
borrowing request and/or a notice of default), in each case, hereunder, under the Securities 
Purchase Agreement or under any other Related Agreement shall not constitute confidential 
information and no party shall have any duty to the other party to maintain such information as 
confidential.   
 
          6.       If any Assignor defaults in the performance or fulfillment of any of the terms, 
conditions, promises, covenants, provisions or warranties on such Assignor’s part to be 
performed or fulfilled under or pursuant to this Master Security Agreement, the Agent may, at its 
option without waiving its right to enforce this Master Security Agreement according to its 
terms, immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice to any Assignor, perform or 
fulfill the same or cause the performance or fulfillment of the same for each Assignor’s joint and 
several account and at each Assignor’s joint and several cost and expense, and the cost and 
expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be added to the Obligations and shall 
be payable on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by law, or, at the 
Agent’s option during the continuance of an Event of Default, debited by the Agent from any 
other deposit accounts in the name of any Assignor and controlled by the Agent. 
 
          7.       Each Assignor appoints the Agent, any of the Agent’s officers, employees or any 
other person  or entity whom the Agent may designate as its attorney, with power to execute such 
documents on such Assignor’s behalf and to supply any omitted information and correct patent 
errors in any documents executed by such Assignor or on such Assignor’s behalf; to file 
financing statements against such Assignor covering the Collateral (and, in connection with the 
filing of any such financing statements, describe the Collateral as “all assets and all personal 
property, whether now owned and/or hereafter acquired” (or any substantially similar variation 
thereof)); to sign such Assignor’s name on public records; and to do all other things Laurus deem 
necessary to carry out this Master Security Agreement. Each Assignor hereby ratifies and 
approves all acts of the attorney and neither the Agent, any Creditor Party nor the attorney will 
be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact 
or law other than gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent 
 
 
5


jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). This power being coupled with an interest, 
is irrevocable so long as any Obligations remains unpaid. 
 
          8.       No delay or failure on the Agent’s part in exercising any right, privilege or option 
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or of any other right, privilege, remedy or option, and 
no waiver whatever shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Agent and then only to the 
extent therein set forth, and no waiver by the Agent of any default shall operate as a waiver of 
any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. The Creditor Parties’ books and 
records containing entries with respect to the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any 
action or proceeding, shall be binding upon each Assignor for the purpose of establishing the 
items therein set forth (absent manifest error) and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof. The 
Agent shall have the right to enforce any one or more of the remedies available to the Agent, 
successively, alternately or concurrently. Each Assignor agrees to join with the Agent in 
executing such documents or other instruments to the extent required by the UCC in form 
satisfactory to the Agent and in executing such other documents or instruments as may be 
required or deemed necessary by the Agent for purposes of affecting or continuing the Agent’s 
security interest in the Collateral. 
 
          9.       This Master Security Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance 
with the laws of the State of New York and cannot be terminated orally. All of the rights, 
remedies, options, privileges and elections given to the Agent hereunder shall inure to the benefit 
of the Agent’s successors and assigns. The term “Agent” as herein used shall include the Agent, 
any parent of the Agent’s, any of the Agent’s subsidiaries and any co-subsidiaries of the Agent’s 
parent, whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired, and shall bind the representatives, 
successors and assigns of each Assignor. The Agent and each Assignor hereby (a) waive any 
and all right to trial by jury in litigation relating to this Agreement and the transactions 
contemplated hereby and each Assignor agrees not to assert any counterclaim in such litigation, 
(b) submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court sitting in the borough of 
Manhattan, the city of New York and (c) waive any objection the Agent or each Assignor may 
have as to the bringing or maintaining of such action with any such court. 
 
          10.       This Master Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, 
each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument. Any 
signature delivered by a party by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an 
original signature hereto. 
 
          11.       It is understood and agreed that any person or entity that desires to become an 
Assignor hereunder, or is required to execute a counterpart of this Master Security Agreement 
after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of any Document, shall become an Assignor 
hereunder by (x) executing a Joinder Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, 
(y) delivering supplements to such exhibits and annexes to such Documents as the Agent shall 
reasonably request and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Master Security Agreement as
