(a) The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Secured Party (and all of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities arising or resulting directly from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) The Pledgor shall be obligated for, and will upon demand pay to each Secured Party the reasonable amount of any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of such Secured Party’s counsel and of any experts which such Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 12. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), sent by Federal Express or other recognized courier service (return receipt requested), telecopied or delivered, if to the Pledgor, to him at the address specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement or if to the Secured Parties, to it at the address specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement; or as to either such Person at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 12. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, when received or three (3) Business Days after mailing, whichever first occurs, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation is received, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day or (iii) if delivered or sent by Federal Express or other recognized courier service (return receipt requested), upon delivery, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day.
SECTION 13. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Parties, all Liens and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations (other than the payment in full of the Secured Obligations or complete conversion to equity securities of the Company of all indebtedness obligations owed by the Company to the Secured Parties under the Notes (including, without limitation, all principal, interest and fees related to the Notes)).

SECTION 14. Beneficial Ownership. Each Secured Party shall not have the right to exercise its rights under this Agreement and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such applicable Secured Party together with its other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by a Secured Party and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares held by such Secured Party and all its other Attribution Parties plus the number of Common Shares to be acquired by such Secured Party with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the remaining Common Shares pledged to such Secured Party that are not then being acquired upon such Secured Party’s exercise of its right hereunder and any Common Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of the Note beneficially owned by such Secured Party or any its other Attribution Parties, (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants) beneficially owned by such Secured Party or any its other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 14. For purposes of this Section 14, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Common Shares a Secured Party may acquire upon exercise of its rights hereunder at any time of determination without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, each Secured Party may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Secured Party, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Secured party the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In the event that the exercise of rights by a Secured Party hereunder and transfer of Common Shares from the Pledgor to such Secured Party hereunder would result in such Secured Party and its other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Common Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the transfer from the Pledgor to such Secured Party of such number of shares by which such Secured Party’s and its other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Secured Party shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, a Secured Party may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Secured Party and its other Attribution Parties and not to any other Secured Party that is not an Attribution Party of such Secured Party. For purposes of clarity, the Common Shares in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Secured Party for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability of a Secured Party to exercise its rights hereunder and acquire any Common Shares from the Pledger to such Secured Party pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of transferability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 14 to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 14 or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor Secured Party.

(b) Each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Pledgor and the Company and its own decision to enter into the Transaction Documents and to purchase the Notes, and each Secured Party has made such inquiries concerning the Transaction Documents, the Pledged Collateral, the Company and the Pledgor as such Secured Party feels necessary and appropriate, and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had it entered into the Transaction Documents without any other Secured Party. Each Secured Party hereby further acknowledges and represents that the other Secured Parties have not made any representations or warranties to it concerning the Pledgor, any of the Pledged Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents. Each Secured Party also hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Secured Parties, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in taking or refraining to take any other action under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. No Secured Party shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any other Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to such Secured Party by the Pledgor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or assets of the Company (or any of its affiliates) or any Pledgor which may come into possession of such Secured Party
SECTION 16. Miscellaneous.
(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Pledgor and the Required Holders, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Required Holders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
11 |
(b) No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Transaction Document 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. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the each Secured Party under any Transaction Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Secured Party to exercise any of its rights under any other Transaction Document against such party or against any other Person.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement (along with all powers of attorney granted hereunder) and the security interests and Lien created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor upon the repayment in full and/or complete conversion to equity securities of the Company of all indebtedness obligations owed by the Company to the Secured Parties under the Notes (including, without limitation, all principal, interest and fees related to the Notes), and (ii) the Secured Parties will, upon the Pledgor’s request and at the Pledgor’s expense, (A) return to the Pledgor such of the Pledged Collateral (to the extent delivered to such Secured Party) as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (B) execute and deliver to the Pledgor, without recourse, representation or warranty, such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
