(a)          Grantor shall not change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number or location from those set forth inSection 6(a) of this Agreement without prior written notice to the Collateral Agent. Grantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Assigned Agreements and Related Contracts, and will permit representatives of the Collateral Agent at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If any Grantor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number.

(b)          Except as otherwise provided in thisSection 11, Grantor will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to Grantor under the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts. In connection with such collections, Grantor may take such action as Grantor may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts;provided,however, that the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any steps it or the other Secured Parties may deem necessary or advisable, including but not limited to, notifying the obligors under any Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to the Collateral Agent and directing such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Assigned Agreement or Related Contract, release wholly or partly any obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or Obligations of the obligor thereof.

(a)          No Grantor shall, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for patent, trademark, or copyright, unless Grantor shall have previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

(b)          Grantor shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral.

Grantor shall give prompt written notice to the Collateral Agent identifying the After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in the form ofExhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Parties (an “IP Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.

(b)          Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)       All rights of Grantor (x) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant toSection 13(a)(i) shall, upon notice to Grantor by the Collateral Agent, cease and (y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant toSection 13(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.

(ii)       All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of thisSection 13(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

Grantor will promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of each letter of credit in favor of Grantor and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a consent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Parties and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Collateral Agent.

Section 15.         Commercial Tort Claims. Grantor will promptly give notice to the Collateral Agent of any commercial tort claim that may arise after the date hereof and will immediately execute or otherwise authenticate a supplement to this Agreement, and otherwise take all necessary action, to subject such commercial tort claim to the first priority security interest created under this Agreement.

Section 16.          Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares.

(a)          Grantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of Grantor except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and Liens permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Section 17.         Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney in Fact. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as attorney in fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to:

-15-

Section 18.          Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor underSection 21.

Section 19.           The Collateral Agent’s Duties.

(a)           The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.

(b)          Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent in its discretion deems it to be necessary or advisable, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent;provided,however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.

Section 20.           Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a)           The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, to the extent commercially feasible, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below or as otherwise required pursuant to Section 9-611 of the UCC, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as are in accordance with applicable law; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice (except as otherwise required by Section 9-611 of the UCC), be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b)          Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(c)          All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(d)          [RESERVED].

(e)          In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of Grantor.

-17-

(f)           If the Collateral Agent shall exercise its right to sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to thisSection 20, Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, Grantor will, at its own expense:

(i)       execute and deliver, and cause each issuer of such Security Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, advisable to register such Security Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended from time to time, the “Securities Act”), 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 that, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties, 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)       use its best efforts to qualify the Security Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of such Security Collateral, as requested by the Collateral Agent;

(iii)       cause each such issuer of such Security Collateral to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

(iv)       provide the Collateral Agent with such other information and projections as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties, advisable to enable the Collateral Agent to effect the sale of such Security Collateral upon such terms as are in accordance with applicable law; and

(v)       do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Security Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(g)          The Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Security Collateral pursuant to thisSection 20, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Security Collateral: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto, prepared pursuant tosubsection (f)(i) above; (ii) any information and projections provided to it pursuant tosubsection (f)(iv) above; and (iii) any other information in its possession relating to such Security Collateral.

(h)          Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained insubsection (f) above and, consequently, agrees that, if Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it will pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Security Collateral on the date the Collateral Agent shall demand compliance withsubsection (f) above.

-18-

Section 21.          Indemnity and Expenses.

(a)          Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement);provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its officers, directors or employees, or (y) arising from disputes solely among the Collateral Agent, the Buyers and/or their transferees (other than in respect of disputes against an Indemnitee in its capacity as Collateral Agent or any similar role under the Transaction Documents).

(b)          Without limiting the foregoing clause (a), Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all (1) reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, and (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of Grantor, and (2) expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (ii) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

Section 22.        Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

WHEREAS, Grantor is party to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 31, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the Buyers party thereto.

(iii)       all copyrights, including, without limitation, copyrights in Computer Software (as hereinafter defined), internet web sites and the content thereof, whether registered or unregistered, including, without limitation, the copyright registrations and applications and exclusive copyright licenses set forth inSchedule C hereto (the “Copyrights”);
