thereof beyond any applicable cure period, and at any time thereafter, Laurus
may declare in a written notice delivered to Assignor, all Obligations
immediately due and payable and Laurus shall have the remedies of a secured
party provided in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New
York, this Security Agreement and other applicable law. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Laurus will have the right to
take possession of the Collateral and to maintain such possession on the
Assignor's premises or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such
other premises as Laurus may desire. Upon Laurus' request, the Assignor shall

Laurus. 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

for any deficiency. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Laurus shall have the immediate
right to withdraw any and all monies contained in the Restricted Account or any
other deposit accounts in the name of the Assignor and controlled by Laurus and
apply same to the repayment of the Obligations (in such order of application as
Laurus may elect).
(b) In the event that as of the date of receipt of each loss recovery upon
any such insurance maintained by the Assignor pursuant Section 6.8 of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has not declared an Event of
Default under the Note or the Master Security Agreement , then the Company shall
be permitted to direct the application of such loss recovery proceeds toward
investment in property, plant and equipment that would comprise Collateral
secured by Purchaser's security interest pursuant to its security agreement,
with any surplus funds to be applied toward payment of the obligations of the
Company to Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser has properly declared an Event
of Default under the Note or the Master Security Agreement, then all loss
recoveries received by Purchaser upon any such insurance thereafter may be
applied to the Obligations in such order as the Purchaser may determine. Any
surplus (following satisfaction of all Company obligations to Purchaser) shall
be paid by Purchaser to the Company or applied as may be otherwise required by
law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by the Company to Purchaser, on
demand.
6. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and continuation thereof
beyond any applicable cure period, at any time thereafter, if the Assignor
defaults in the performance or fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions,
promises, covenants, provisions or warranties on the Assignor's part to be
performed or fulfilled under or pursuant to this Security Agreement, Laurus may,
at its option without waiving its right to enforce this Security Agreement
according to its terms, immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice
to the Assignor, perform or fulfill the same or cause the performance or
fulfillment of the same for the Assignor's account and at the Assignor's 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 Laurus' option,
debited by Laurus from the Restricted Account or any other deposit accounts in
the name of any Assignor and controlled by Laurus.
7. Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the
continuation thereof beyond any applicable cure period, the Assignor hereby
appoints Laurus, any of Laurus' officers, employees or any other person or
entity whom Laurus may designate as
6
Assignor's attorney, with power to execute such documents in Assignor's behalf
and to supply any omitted information and correct patent errors in any documents
executed by the Assignor or on Assignor's behalf; to file financing statements
against the 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)) subject to the duty of Laurus to
release (of record) inventory and equipment specifically constituting Collateral
that is financed or refinanced as contemplated by Section 1 hereof; to sign the
Assignor's name on public records; and to do all other things Laurus deems
necessary to carry out this Security Agreement. The Assignor hereby ratifies and
approves all acts of the attorney and neither Laurus 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 their gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined by a court of competent 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 Laurus' 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 Laurus and then only to the extent therein set forth, and no
waiver by Laurus of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default
or of the same default on a future occasion. Laurus' books and records
containing entries with respect to the Obligations shall be admissible in
evidence in any action or proceeding, shall be binding upon the Assignor for the
purpose of establishing the items therein set forth and shall constitute prima
facie proof thereof. Laurus shall have the right to enforce any one or more of
the remedies available to Laurus, successively, alternately or concurrently. The
Assignor agrees to join with Laurus in executing financing statements or other
instruments to the extent required by the Uniform Commercial Code in form
reasonably satisfactory to Laurus and in executing such other documents or
instruments as may be reasonably required or deemed necessary by Laurus for
purposes of perfecting or continuing Laurus' security interest in the
Collateral.
9. This Security Agreement shall be governed by 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
Laurus hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Laurus' successors and assigns.
Except for the grant of the security interest in the Collateral to Laurus under
this Security Agreement, the term "Laurus" as herein used shall include Laurus,
any parent of Laurus, any of Laurus' subsidiaries and any co-subsidiaries of
Laurus' parent, whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired, and all
of the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties of this
Security Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each of the foregoing, and
shall bind the representatives, successors and assigns of the Assignor. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action
brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New
York or in the federal courts located in the state of New York. Both parties and
the individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Assignor agree to submit
to the jurisdiction of such courts. The prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the
event that any provision of this
7
Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of
law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may
conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or
rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under
any law shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to
preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the
Assignor in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Assignor's obligations to
Laurus, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations,
or to enforce a judgment or other court in favor of the Laurus
10. All notices from Laurus to the Assignor shall be sufficiently given if
mailed or delivered to the Assignor at its address set forth in the Securities
Purchase Agreement.
