3.1 The Debtor shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent UCC-1 Financing Statements or other instruments necessary to perfect a security interest in any item of the Collateral (collectively, the "Lien Documents") in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent is instructed to prepare and file or cause to be filed at the Debtor’s cost and expense, the Lien Documents in such United States and foreign jurisdictions deemed advisable to the Collateral Agent, including but not limited to Washington, D.C., and the State of Texas.

3.2 All other certificates and instruments constituting Collateral from time to time required to be pledged to the Subscribers pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Additional Collateral”) shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent promptly upon receipt thereof by or on behalf of the Debtor. All such certificates and instruments shall be held by or on behalf of the Subscribers pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment or undated stock powers executed in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If any Collateral consists of uncertificated securities, unless the immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, the Debtor shall cause the Collateral Agent to become the registered holder thereof, or cause each issuer of such securities to agree that it will comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to such securities. If any Collateral consists of security entitlements, the Debtor shall transfer such security entitlements to the Collateral Agent or cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders by the Collateral Agent.

3.3 If the Debtor shall receive, by virtue of the Debtor being or having been an owner of any Collateral, any (i) stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off), promissory note or other instrument, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Collateral, or otherwise, (iii) dividends payable in cash or in securities or other property or (iv) dividends or other distributions in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, the Debtor shall receive such stock certificate, promissory note, instrument, option, right, payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Subscribers, shall segregate it from the Debtor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Subscribers, in the exact form received, with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Subscribers as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.

4.2. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, all rights of the Debtor, upon notice given by the Collateral Agent, to exercise the voting power shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Subscribers, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting power and receive such payments.

4.3 All dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which are received by Debtor contrary to the provisions of Section 4.2 shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Subscribers as security and Collateral for payment of the Obligations, shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.

5.1 The Subscribers at all times shall have a perfected security interest in the Collateral. The Debtor represents that other than the security interests described on Schedule 5.1, it has and will continue to have full title to the Collateral free from any liens, leases, encumbrances, judgments or other claims, except for “Permitted Liens” (defined below). The Subscribers’ security interest in the Collateral constitutes and will continue to constitute a first, prior and indefeasible security interest in favor of the Subscribers, subject only to the security interests described on Schedule 5.1. The Debtor will do all acts and things, and will execute and file all instruments (including, but not limited to, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of the Subscribers in the perfected Collateral, and will promptly on demand, pay all costs and expenses of filing and recording, including the costs of any searches reasonably deemed necessary by the Collateral Agent from time to time to establish and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the security interest of the Subscribers, and also pay all other claims and charges that, in the opinion of the Subscribers are reasonably likely to materially prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Subscribers’ security interests therein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Liens” shall include:

(b)

liens arising by statute in connection with worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance, old age benefits, social security obligations, taxes, assessments, statutory obligations or other similar charges (other than Liens arising under ERISA), good faith cash deposits in connection with tenders, contracts or leases to which the the Debtor is a party or other cash deposits required to be made in the ordinary course of business, provided in each case that the obligation is not for borrowed money and that the obligation secured is not overdue or, if overdue, is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which prevent enforcement of the matter under contest and adequate reserves have been established therefor;

(f)

cash deposits to secure performance bonds and other obligations of a like nature (in each case, other than for Indebtedness) incurred in the ordinary course of business for obligations not yet due or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which prevent enforcement of the matter under contest and adequate reserves have been established therefor;

(g)

easements, rights-of-way, zoning and similar restrictions, building codes, reservations, covenants, conditions, waivers, survey exceptions and other similar encumbrances or title defects and, with respect to any interests in real property held or leased by the Debtor or any of its subsidiaries, mortgages, deeds of trust and other encumbrances incurred, created, assumed or permitted to exist and arising by, through or under a landlord or owner of such property encumbering solely such landlord’s or owner’s interest in such real property, with or without the consent of the lessee;

5.2 Except in connection with sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business, for fair value and in cash, and except for Collateral which is substituted by assets of identical or greater value (subject to the consent of the Collateral Agent) or which is not material to the Debtor’s business, the Debtor will not sell, transfer, assign or pledge those items of Collateral (or allow any such items to be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged), without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent other than a transfer of the Collateral to a wholly-owned United States formed and located subsidiary of the Debtor with prior notice to the Collateral Agent, and provided the Collateral remains subject to the security interest herein described. Although Proceeds of Collateral are covered by this Agreement, this shall not be construed to mean that the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers consent to any sale of the Collateral, except as provided herein. Sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business as described above shall be free of the security interest of the Subscribers and the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute such documents (including without limitation releases and termination statements) as may be required by the Debtor to evidence or effectuate the same.

5.3 The Debtor will, at all reasonable times during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, allow Collateral Agent or its representatives free and complete access to the Collateral and all of the Debtor’s records that in any way relate to the Collateral, for such inspection and examination as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary.

5.5 The Debtor will promptly notify the Collateral Agent of any levy, distraint or other seizure by legal process or otherwise of any part of the Collateral, and of any threatened or filed claims or proceedings that are reasonably likely to affect or impair any of the rights of the Subscribers under this Security Agreement in any material respect.

5.6 The Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other reasonable assurances or instruments and take further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require to perfect the security interest of the Subscribers hereunder.

At any time an Event of Default has occurred, and only after the applicable cure period as set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and is continuing, the Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent as the true and lawful attorney of the Debtor, with full power of substitution, in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of the Debtor or otherwise, at any time or times, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, to take any action and to execute any instrument or document which is reasonably and prudently necessary to protect the Subscribers’ rights in the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Obligations are satisfied.

If the Debtor fails to perform any material covenant, agreement, duty or obligation of the Debtor under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements, the Collateral Agent may, after any applicable cure period and notice required hereunder, at any time or times in its discretion, take action to effect performance of such obligation. All reasonable expenses of the Subscribers incurred in connection with the foregoing authorization shall be payable by the Debtor as provided in Paragraph 10.1 hereof. No discretionary right, remedy or power granted to the Subscribers under any part of this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any obligation whatsoever on the Subscribers with respect thereto, such rights, remedies and powers being solely for the protection of the Subscribers.

An event of default (“Event of Default”) shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined and described in this Agreement, in the Note, the Purchase Agreements, Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreements), and any other agreement to which the Debtor and the Subscribers are parties. Upon and after any Event of Default, after the applicable cure period, if any, any or all of the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent may dispose of Collateral as provided herein. A default by the Debtor of any of its material obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchase Agreements and any of the other Transaction Documents shall be an Event of Default hereunder and an “Event of Default” as defined in the Notes, and the Purchase Agreements.

9.1 The Collateral Agent may exercise its rights with respect to each and every component of the Collateral, without regard to the existence of any other security or source of payment, in order to satisfy the Obligations. In addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the Subscribers shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the State of New York.

9.2 If any notice to the Debtor of the sale or other disposition of Collateral is required by then applicable law, five (5) business days prior written notice (which the Debtor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9.612(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code) shall be given to the Debtor of the time and place of any sale of Collateral which the Debtor hereby agrees may be by private sale. The rights granted in this Section are in addition to any and all rights available to the Subscribers under the Uniform Commercial Code.

9.3 The Collateral Holder is authorized, at any such sale, if the Collateral Holder deems it advisable to do so, in order to comply with any applicable securities laws, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree, among other things, that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or otherwise to restrict such sale in such other manner as the Subscribers deem advisable to ensure such compliance. Sales made subject to such restrictions shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

9.4 All proceeds received by the Subscribers in respect of any sale, collection or other enforcement or disposition of Collateral, shall be applied (after deduction of any amounts payable to the Subscribers pursuant to Paragraph 10.1 hereof) against the Obligations. Upon payment in full of all Obligations, the Debtor shall be entitled to the return of all Collateral, including cash, which has not been used or applied toward the payment of the Obligations or used or applied to any and all costs or expenses of the Subscribers incurred in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral (unless another person is legally entitled thereto). Any assignment of Collateral by the Collateral Holder to the Debtor shall be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly without recourse. To the extent allowed by law, the Collateral Holder may purchase the Collateral and pay for such purchase by offsetting the purchase price with sums owed to the Subscribers by the Debtor arising under the Obligations or any other source.

9.5 Without limiting, and in addition to, any other rights, options and remedies the Subscribers have under the Transaction Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, or otherwise, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Holder shall have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Debtor expressly agrees that such a receiver will be able to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of the Debtor to the extent necessary to collect all revenues and profits thereof and to apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including the compensation of the receiver, until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated.

9.6 Provided an Event of Default or an event, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default is not pending, then from and after the date the Subscriber has exercised its conversion rights with respect to not less than one-half of the Principal Amount of the Subscriber’s Note and the Debtor has complied with its obligations with respect to all such conversions, then the Subscriber’s security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically released.

10.1 Expenses. The Debtor shall pay to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Subscribers, on demand, the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and brokers’ fees, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (a) exercise or enforcement of any the rights, remedies or powers of the Subscribers hereunder or with respect to any or all of the Obligations upon breach; or (b) failure by the Debtor to perform and observe any agreements of the Debtor contained herein which are performed by Collateral Agent.

10.2 Waivers, Amendment and Remedies. No course of dealing by the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers and no failure by the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers to exercise, or delay by the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power of the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent to any departure by the Debtor therefrom shall, in any event, be effective unless contained in a writing 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. The rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent, not only hereunder, but also under any instruments and agreements evidencing or securing the Obligations and under applicable law are cumulative, and may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Subscribers from time to time in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect.

10.6 Governing Law; Venue; Severability. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction, except to the extent that the perfection of the security interest granted hereby in respect of any item of Collateral may be governed by the law of another jurisdiction.

10.8 Counterparts/Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and delivered by electronic transmission.

11. Termination; Release. When the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full or all outstanding Notes have been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Note and the Purchase Agreements, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Subscribers or the Collateral Agent, as appropriate, at the request and sole expense of the Debtor, will execute and deliver to the Debtor the proper instruments (including UCC termination statements) acknowledging the termination of the Security Agreement, and duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Debtor, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, such of the Collateral, as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent or Subscribers.

12.3 Majority in Interest. The rights of the Subscribers hereunder, except as otherwise set forth herein shall be exercised upon the approval of Subscribers (including the Subscribers of the Initial Senior Debt dated August 31, 2012) holding no less than 51% of the outstanding Obligations (“Majority in Interest”) at the time such approval is sought or given. Any tangible or physical Collateral shall be delivered to and be held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and on behalf of all Subscribers as to their respective rights.

12.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. By executing this Agreement the Subscribers appoint the Collateral Agent as their agent to exercise all of the rights, benefits and remedies granted to them as secured parties under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees to exercise all of the rights, benefits and remedies conveyed by this Agreement solely for the benefit of the Subscribers and, unless a delay would cause irreparable damage to the Collateral or any part of it, only after consultation with the Majority in Interest. In accordance with its role as the agent for the Subscribers, the Lien Documents will identify the Collateral Agent as the secured party.

12.7.1 The Collateral Agent shall not be personally liable for any act it may do or omit to do under this Agreement while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its best judgment, and any act done or omitted by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the advice of the Collateral Agent’s attorney shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. Except as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent is expressly authorized and directed to disregard any and all notices or warnings given by any of the parties, or by any other person or corporation, excepting only orders or process of court, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey any and all orders, judgments or decrees of any court. If the Collateral Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, it shall not be liable to the Subscribers or the Debtor or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that any such order, judgment or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated, or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

12.7.2 The Subscribers and the Debtor expressly agree the Collateral Agent has the absolute right at the Collateral Agent’s election, if the Collateral Agent considers it appropriate, to file an action in interpleader in a court of proper jurisdiction requiring the parties to answer and litigate their claims and rights among themselves, and the Collateral Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and funds held by him pursuant to this Agreement. In the event such action is filed, the Debtor agrees to pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees that the Collateral Agent incurs in such interpleader action. Upon filing of such action the Collateral Agent shall thereupon be fully released and discharged from all obligations to further perform any duties or obligations otherwise imposed by the terms of this Agreement.

12.7.3 The Collateral Agent shall not be bound in any way by any other agreement between the Subscribers and the Debtor as to which the Collateral Agent is not a party, whether or not the Collateral Agent has knowledge thereof, nor by any notice of a claim or demand with respect to this Agreement or the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any certificate, statement, request, waiver, receipt, agreement or other instrument that the Collateral Agent believes to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by an appropriate person or persons.

12.7.7 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty with respect to the Collateral other than the duty to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it is in the Collateral Agent's possession. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral against any other parties, to sell the Collateral if it threatens to decline in value, or to exercise any rights represented thereby, except as directed by the Majority in Interest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12.7.8 The Debtor and the Subscribers agree to and each does hereby indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to the Collateral Agent) and hold the Collateral Agent harmless against any and all losses, damages, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Collateral Agent by reason of it compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If, as a result of any disagreement between the parties and/or adverse demands and claims being made by any or all of them upon the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall become involved in litigation, including any interpleader brought by the Collateral Agent as provided in this Agreement, the Debtor agrees that it shall be liable to the Collateral Agent on demand for all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees that the Collateral Agent shall incur and/or be compelled to pay by reason of such litigation.

12.8 Replacement of Collateral Agent. In the event the Collateral Agent is or becomes unwilling or unable to act in such capacity for any reason, the Majority in Interest shall appoint a successor. The Majority in Interest (but not Debtor) shall have the right, after delivery of written notice signed by the Majority in Interest to the Collateral Agent, to terminate the Collateral Agent and to name the Collateral Agent’s successor.
