Modification of Debt
On December 31, 2015 YA Global Investments, LP ("YAGI") and GreenShift entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which YAGI accepted, in satisfaction of $14,196,897 of principal an interest accrued on debentures issued by GreenShift, a cash payment of $2,000,000 and the execution of a Royalty Agreement by GreenShift and its affiliates.
The Royalty Agreement provides that, for an indefinite term, GreenShift and its subsidiaries will pay to YAGI a royalty equal to 15% of all Intellectual Property Income earned by any of them.  "Intellectual Property Income" is defined in the Royalty Agreement to encompass all payments received under, with respect to, or in connection with any intellectual property, including payments made by licensees, and including any amounts paid in settlement or as an award of damages arising from third party infringement of the intellectual property rights of GreenShift or its subsidiaries, provided that Intellectual Property Income by reason of settlements or awards will be reduced by the amount of any legal fees and expenses incurred in obtaining the settlement or award.
On the same date, GreenShift deposited $400,000 in cash into escrow in anticipation of settling an additional $2,939,300 in principal and interest due from GreenShift to various assignees of YAGI ("YAGI Assignees"). The YAGI Assignees have until March 31, 2016 to accept the relevant settlement terms.
Transfer of Controlling Interest
On December 31, 2015, FLUX Carbon Corporation, an entity owned by Kevin Kreisler, GreenShift's CEO, transferred its ownership interest in Viridis Capital LLC to Bitzio, Inc., a Nevada corporation (OTC Pink: BTZO) ("Bitzio"), in exchange for an 80% equity interest in Bitzio. Viridis Capital was, at the time of the transfer, the owner of 800,115 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued by GreenShift.
Issuance of Series G Preferred Stock
On December 31, 2015, GreenShift filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation of Series G Preferred Stock, designating 800,000 shares of preferred stock as Series G Preferred Stock. The Series G shares may be converted by the holder into Company common stock. The conversion ratio is such that the full 800,000 Series G shares convert into GreenShift common shares representing 80% of the fully diluted common shares outstanding after the conversion (which includes all common shares outstanding plus all common shares potentially issuable upon the conversion of all derivative securities not held by the holder). The holder of Series G shares may cast the number of votes at a shareholders meeting or by written consent that equals the number of common shares into which the Series G shares are convertible on the record date for the shareholder action. In the event the Board of Directors declares a dividend payable to Company common shareholders, the holders of Series G shares will receive the dividend that would be payable if the Series G shares were converted into GreenShift common shares prior to the dividend. In the event of a liquidation of GreenShift, the holders of 800,000 Series G shares will receive a preferential distribution equal to 80% of the net assets available for distribution to the shareholders.
On December 31, 2015, GreenShift issued 800,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock to Bitzio in exchange for 987,144 shares of GreenShift Series D Preferred Stock and $2,500,000 in cash. In connection with the foregoing transactions, GreenShift filed a Certificate of Elimination of Series D Preferred Stock.
Guaranty of Bitzio Debt
The $2,500,000 paid by Bitzio to GreenShift was drawn from a loan of $2,900,000 made to Bitzio by TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP ("TCA"). The loan was made on December 31, 2015, pursuant to a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), under which TCA may lend to Bitzio up to $5,000,000. GreenShift and each of its subsidiaries, as well as each of the other subsidiaries of Bitzio, has executed a Guaranty Agreement dated December 31, 2015, in favor of TCA. In the Guaranty Agreement, GreenShift and each of its subsidiaries guaranteed payment of all amounts due to TCA under the Credit Agreement. By separate agreements, GreenShift and each subsidiary pledged all of its assets to secure the guaranty to TCA.

Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
  SERIES G PREFERRED STOCK
OF
GREENSHIFT CORPORATION

GreenShift Corporation (the "Corporation"), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("GCL") and acting under Section 151 of GCL, does hereby submit the following Certificate of Designation of its Series G Preferred Stock.

FIRST:  The name of the Company is GreenShift Corporation.

SECOND: By unanimous consent of the Board of Directors of the Corporation dated December 30, 2015, the following resolutions were duly adopted:

WHEREAS the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation authorizes Preferred Stock consisting of 5,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, issuable from time to time in one or more series; and

WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law and by the provisions of Article FIFTH of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to establish and fix the number of shares to be included in any series of Preferred Stock and the designation, rights, preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations of the shares of such series;

WHEREAS it is the desire of the Board of Directors to establish and fix the number of shares to be included in a new series of Preferred Stock and the designation, rights, and preferences and limitations of the shares of such new series;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to Article FIFTH of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, there is hereby established a new series of 800,000 shares of convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the Series G Preferred Stock") to have the designation, rights, preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations set forth in a supplement of Article FIFTH as follows:

1.
Stated Value. Each share of Series G Preferred shall have a stated value equal to $0.001.

2.
Voting. The holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights: Each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof, on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, to that number of votes as shall be equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Series G Preferred Stock are convertible on the record date for the stockholder action.

3.
Dividends. In the event that the Corporation's Board of Directors declares a dividend payable to holders of any class of stock, the holder of each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a dividend equal in amount and kind to that payable to the holder of the number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock into which that holder's Series G Preferred Stock could be converted on the record date for the dividend.

4.
Liquidation. Upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the net assets of the Corporation, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders, before any amount shall be paid to the holders of common stock or to the holders of any other class or series of equity stock, an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of said net assets multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock on the record date for the distribution and the denominator of which shall be the number of authorized shares of Series G Preferred Stock.

 
5.
Conversion.

5.1                  Conversion Procedure. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.5, any shares of Series G Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The Holder of a share of Series G Preferred Stock may exercise its conversion right by giving a written conversion notice (the "Conversion Notice") (x) by facsimile to the Corporation confirmed by a telephone call or (y) by overnight delivery service, with a copy by facsimile to the Corporation's transfer agent for its Common Stock, as designated by the Corporation from time to time (the "Transfer Agent") and to its counsel, as designated by the Corporation from time to time. If such conversion will result in the conversion of all of such Holder's Series G Preferred Stock, the Holder shall also surrender the certificate for the Series G Preferred Stock to the Corporation at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the Holder) at any time during its usual business hours on the date set forth in the Conversion Notice.

5.2                  Conversion Ratio. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon a Conversion shall equal the product obtained by (a) multiplying the number of Fully-Diluted Common Shares by four (4), then (b) multiplying the result by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock being converted and the denominator of which will be the number of authorized shares of Series G Preferred Stock. The term "Fully-Diluted Common Shares" means the sum of the outstanding Common Stock plus all shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding if all outstanding securities that could be converted into Common Stock without additional consideration were converted on the Conversion Date, but shall not include Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock.

5.3                  Issuance of Certificates; Time Conversion Effected.

5.3.1. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected, and the "Conversion Date" shall be deemed to have occurred, on the date on which such Conversion Notice shall have been received by the Corporation and at the time specified stated in such Conversion Notice, which must be during the calendar day of such notice. The rights of the Holder of the Series G Preferred Stock shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby, on the Conversion Date. Promptly, but in no event more than three (3) Trading Days, after the Conversion Date and surrender of the Series G Preferred Stock certificate (if required), the Corporation shall issue and deliver, or the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder, registered in such name or names as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the Series G Preferred Stock has been converted. In the alternative, if the Corporation's Transfer Agent is a participant in the electronic book transfer program, the Transfer Agent shall credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with The Depository Trust Corporation. Issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion that are requested to be registered in a name other than that of the registered Holder shall be subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
 
5.3.2. The Corporation understands that a delay in the issuance of the shares of Common Stock beyond three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date (unless delivery of the Preferred Stock certificate is required) could result in economic loss to the Holder of the Series G Preferred Stock. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Corporation agrees to pay the Holder's actual losses occasioned by any "buy-in" of Common Stock necessitated by such late delivery. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock within five (5) Trading Days after the Conversion Date (unless delivery of the Preferred Stock certificate is required), the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Conversion Notice by delivering a notice to such effect to the Corporation. Upon delivery of such notice of revocation, the Corporation and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Conversion Notice, except that the Holder shall retain the right to receive the actual cost of any "buy-in."
 
5.4                  Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not, nor shall it cause the Transfer Agent to, issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of shares of Series G Preferred Stock by the Holder shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock. If, after such aggregation, the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall round, or cause the Transfer Agent to round, such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.
 
5.5                  Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or other transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an "Organic Change." Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Corporation will make appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock otherwise acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of his Series G Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquirable and receivable had his Series G Preferred Stock been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the timing of conversions). In any such case, the Corporation will make appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) with respect to the Holder's rights and interests to insure that the provisions of this Section 5 will thereafter be applicable unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes, by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a more than one hundred percent (100%) of Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each holder of Series G Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.
 
5.6                  Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Series G Preferred Stock. The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or the written consent without a meeting, of the holders of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the then outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be required for any change to the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation that would amend, alter, change or repeal any of the preferences, limitations or relative rights of the Series G Preferred Stock.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate to be executed by its President on December 31, 2015.

ROYALTY
2.1
Royalty Agreement.
(a)    This Agreement and the royalties payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are entered into and agreed to in connection with, and as part of the consideration for, the Settlement Agreement.  The Obligors acknowledge and agree that they have received significant and immediate consideration for the Royalty (as defined below) granted herein in the form of debt being exchanged for the right to receive the Royalty.
(b)    Royalty Amount.  For good and valuable consideration, the Obligors agree from and after the date of this Agreement to pay to the Lender (at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 2.2 below) ongoing royalty payments equal to fifteen percent (15%) of all of the Obligors' Intellectual Property Income (the "Royalty").
2.2
Payment of the Royalty. The Royalty shall be payable as follows:
(a)    The Obligors hereby covenant and agree to instruct in advance (pursuant to the terms of a letter of direction in a form acceptable to Lender) all of their legal counsel handling any matters related to the Obligors' Intellectual Property (including, without limitation, Cantor Colburn LLP) to remit the Royalty from any settlement or litigation proceeds, payments, or other amounts obtained or received by Obligors' counsel directly to Lender upon such counsel's receipt of the same.  If notwithstanding the foregoing, such counsel fails to immediately remit the Royalty relating to such settlement or litigation proceeds to Lender, or if such settlement or litigation proceeds are delivered to or received by the Obligors, the Obligors shall immediately cause such counsel to remit the Royalty to the Lender, or in the case of proceeds delivered to or received by the Obligors, immediately remit the Royalty due therefrom to Lender.
(b)    With respect to Intellectual Property Income that is not generated from settlement or litigation proceeds, the Royalty due in connection therewith shall be payable quarterly.  No later than two (2) Business Days following the last day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2016), the Obligors shall pay to Lender the Royalty for such calendar quarter.  On the same day the Obligors make a Royalty payment pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Obligors shall deliver to Lender a written statement in reasonable detail showing all Intellectual Property Income by source and amount during such calendar quarter and the Obligors' computation of the Royalty for such calendar quarter.
(c)    All Royalty payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account previously designated in writing to the Obligors by Lender, or such new or additional account(s) as Lender shall designate in writing to the Obligors at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Royalty payment shall be due.
2.3
Royalty Payments Following Termination. The termination of this Agreement shall not terminate the obligation of the Obligors, or its Affiliates, licensees or assignees, to pay any Royalty accrued prior to such termination.  Upon termination of this Agreement, Lender shall have the right to retain any Royalty already paid by the Obligors under this Agreement.
2.4
Defaulted Royalty Payments. Any Royalty not paid when due (including any Royalty not paid as a result of the provisions of the Subordination Agreement) shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lower of (i) the highest rate permitted by applicable law, and (ii) fourteen percent (14%) per annum.
2.5
Audit Right.
(a)    Upon not less than five (5) days' prior written notice, Lender shall have the right to audit the books and records of the Obligors (including those obtained from third parties) relating to sales or other transactions included in the definition of Intellectual Property Income for the purposes of determining the correctness of the Obligors' computation and payment of the Royalty. Such audit shall be conducted during normal business hours by a national public accounting firm selected by Lender and reasonably acceptable to the Obligors.  The cost and expense of one such audit each calendar year shall be paid by the Obligors. Lender may conduct more frequent audits, but any additional audits shall be at Lender's cost and expense.  The Obligors shall provide Lender and such accounting firm with access to all pertinent books and records and shall reasonably cooperate with such accounting firm's efforts to conduct such audit.  If such audit determines that there has been an underpayment of the aggregate Royalty due for the period being audited of more than $2,500 (an "Underpayment"), Lender shall notify the Obligors of the amount of such Underpayment (the "Underpayment Notice") and make the audit papers for the relevant period available to the Obligors.
(b)    Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Underpayment Notice, the Obligors may either inform Lender in writing that the Obligors agree with the calculation of the Underpayment or object to such calculation in writing, setting forth each of the Obligors' objections (the "Obligor Objections").  Any items included in the Underpayment Notice which are not disputed by the Obligors in the Obligor Objections shall be deemed agreed to by the Obligors.  If the Obligors deliver the Obligor Objections and the parties do not resolve all such Obligor Objections on a mutually agreeable basis within fifteen (15) Business Days after Lender's receipt of the Obligor Objections, any Obligor Objections as to which Lender and the Obligors cannot agree upon may be submitted by either Lender or the Obligors to a mutually acceptable national public accounting firm (the "Designated Accounting Firm") for resolution as provided herein.  If the Obligors and Lender are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable Designated Accounting Firm, then the Designated Accounting Firm shall be an independent accounting firm of nationally recognized reputation which shall be selected by lot after the Obligors and Lender have each proposed two (2) firms and excluded one (1) firm proposed by the other.  Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Designated Accounting Firm shall have the power, authority and duty to resolve any outstanding Obligor Objections and the decision of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon the parties.  Upon the agreement of the parties or the decision of the Designated Accounting Firm, the calculation of the Underpayment, as adjusted based on the parties' agreement or the decision of the Designated Accounting Firm, as applicable, shall be final and conclusive.  If the Obligors fail to deliver any Obligor Objections to Lender within the first five (5) Business Day period referred to above, the Underpayment Notice delivered by Lender and the calculations set forth therein shall be final and binding on the parties.  In resolving any disputed item, the Designated Accounting Firm (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.5(b), (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the highest value claimed for such item or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Lender or the Obligors, (iii) shall restrict its decision to such items included in the Obligor Objections which are then in dispute, (iv) may review only the written presentations of Lender and the Obligors in resolving any matter which is in dispute and (v) shall render its decision in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after the disputed items have been submitted to it.  Upon the resolution of all Obligor Objections, the calculation of the Underpayment shall be revised to reflect the resolution.  If the Obligors make any Obligor Objections, the fees, costs and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be paid (i) by the Obligors if the Obligor Objections are resolved in favor of Lender, or (ii) by Lender if the Obligor Objections are resolved in favor of the Obligors.  If the Obligor Objections are resolved part in favor of the Obligors and part in favor of Lender, such fees, costs and expenses shall be shared by Lender and the Obligors in proportion to the aggregate amount of the Obligor Objections resolved in favor of the Obligors compared to the aggregate amount of the Obligor Objections resolved in favor of Lender.
(c)    If there is an Underpayment as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5, the Obligors shall pay an amount to Lender equal to such Underpayment and shall reimburse Lender for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including accountants' fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the audit contemplated in Section 2.5(a) above, in each case, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Underpayment in accordance with this Section 2.5.
3.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Pledgor is the registered and beneficial owner of [●] ([●])of the issued and outstanding [membership interests / shares of common stock] (equal to [●]% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock) (the "Pledged Interests / Shares") of [Subsidiary], a [corporation incorporated / limited liability company organized and existing] under the laws of the State of [●] (in such capacity, the "Pledged Company"), and the [Pledged Interests / Shares] are represented by a certificate bearing certificate number [●] (the "Certificate");

(a)                        subject to the limitations of Sections 9-610 and 9-615 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.  If any of the Pledged Collateral or any rights or interests therein shall be sold on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral or rights or interests so sold may be retained by the Pledgee until the selling price thereof shall be paid by the purchaser, but the Pledgee shall not incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral or rights or interests therein so sold.  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
(b)                        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 Interests / 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 Interests / Shares] upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Pledged Company or, upon the exercise by the Pledged Company or the Pledgee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Share, and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver such [Pledged Interests / 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.
SECTION 11.                                          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.

SECTION 13.                                          Miscellaneous.
13.1              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.
13.2              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 or any Credit Party 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 or any Credit Party 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.

13.5              Invalidity.  If any provision of this Pledge Agreement shall at any time, for any reason, be declared invalid, void or otherwise inoperative by a court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration or decision shall not affect the validity of any other provision or provisions of this Pledge Agreement, or the validity of this Pledge Agreement as a whole and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Pledgee in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible.  The invalidity and unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
13.6              Notices.  All notices of request, demand and other communications hereunder shall be addressed, sent and deemed delivered in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, including delivery of any such notices or communications to the Pledged Company on behalf of the Pledgor, which Pledgor hereby agrees and acknowledges shall be valid and effective notice to the Pledgor hereunder.
13.7              Counterparts; Electronic Delivery.  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.
