(b) Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to 50% of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock for the twenty Trading Days prior to such Conversion Date subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

Remedies. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not yet been cured or in the event any of the security created by or pursuant to this Pledge Agreement shall be imperiled or jeopardized in a manner deemed material by the Pledgee in its sole and reasonable discretion, the Pledgee shall be entitled, without further notice to the Pledgor:

 

subject to the limitations of the UCC (to the extent applicable), to sell, assign, transfer and deliver at any time the whole, or from time to time any part, of the Pledged Collateral or any rights or interests therein, at public or private sale or in any other manner, at such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee may deem appropriate, and either for cash, on credit, for other property or for future delivery, at the option of the Pledgee, upon not less than 10 days’ written notice (which 10 day notice is hereby acknowledged by the Pledgor to be reasonable) addressed to the Pledgor at its last address provided to the Pledgee pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, but without demand, advertisement or other notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgor). If any of the Pledged Collateral or any rights or interests thereon are to be disposed of at a public sale, the Pledgee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any such sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, occur at the time and place identified in such announcement. If any of the Pledged Collateral or any rights or interests therein shall be disposed of at a private sale, the Pledgee shall be relieved from all liability or claim for inadequacy of price. At any such public sale the Pledgee may purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or any rights or interests therein so sold. Each purchaser, including the Pledgee should it acquire the Pledged Collateral, at any public or private sale, shall hold the property sold free from any claim or right of redemption, stay, appraisal or reclamation on the part of the Pledgor which are hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law.

In case of any such failure, the Pledged Collateral or rights or interests therein may again be sold on not less than 10 days’ written notice as aforesaid; and

 

to exercise all voting and other equity interest rights at any meeting of any Pledged Company and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Shares of the Pledged Company as if it was the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion, such Pledged Shares upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Company or, upon the exercise by the Company or the Pledgee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Shares, and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver such Pledged Shares with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it.

 

No Duty on Pledgee. The Pledgee shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

Application of Proceeds. All moneys collected or received by the Pledgee pursuant to this Pledge Agreement shall be applied to satisfy the Obligations in the manner determined by the Pledgee.

 

Miscellaneous.

 

Further Assurances. The Pledgor agrees that if this Pledge Agreement shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee, at any time be deemed by the Pledgee, for any reason, insufficient in whole or in part to carry out the true intent and spirit hereof, it shall execute or cause to be executed such other documents or deliver or cause to be delivered such further assurances as in the opinion of the Pledgee may be required in order to more effectively accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement including, without limitation, an alternative pledge or such other alternative security as the Pledgee shall reasonably require.

Remedies Cumulative and Not Exclusive; No Waiver. Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Pledgee shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy of the Pledgee now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy, whether herein given or otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time, in whole or in part, and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Pledgee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No failure, delay or omission by the Pledgee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any breach or default by the Pledgor shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by the Pledgee of any security or of any payment of or on account of any of the amounts due from the Pledgor to the Pledgee and maturing after any breach or default or of any payment on account of any past breach or default be construed to be a waiver of any right with respect to any future breach or default or of any past breach or default not completely cured thereby. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, the Pledgee shall have rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

 

Successors and Assigns.

This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed as effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart. In the event that the Pledgor delivers an executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission, the Pledgor shall also deliver an originally executed counterpart as soon as practicable, but the failure of the Pledgor to deliver an originally executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of this Pledge Agreement.
