good faith contesting the Debtor's obligations to comply therewith; and
(i) execute and deliver to the Secured Party such other and further
documents, instruments or writings and do, or omit or refrain from doing, such
other acts and things which
-5-
the Secured Party may reasonably request in order to evidence, effectuate,

Party pursuant to this Agreement or the Note, and shall not have been paid when
and as the same shall have become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,

hereunder, the Secured Party may notify "account debtors" that the Collateral

-6-
notification and enforcement, including but not limited to, reasonable counsel
fees and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be borne solely by the Debtor.
(c) All proceeds from the sale of the Collateral by the Secured Party
hereunder and all other moneys received by the Secured Party pursuant to the

preparing and storing the Collateral to be sold, all court costs
and the Secured Party's reasonable legal fees in connection
therewith, and to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses

available funds shall be allocated to the relevant Secured Party
in proportion to their relative expenditures; and
SECOND: to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest due and
owing on the Note and then to unpaid principal on the Note;
THIRD: to the payment of any other outstanding amounts under the
Note and this Agreement; and
any surplus, if any remaining, to be paid over to the Debtor, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct. Any requirement of reasonable notice imposed

pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.
-7-
Section 8. Remedies Cumulative. (a) No remedy conferred upon or
reserved to the Secured Party hereunder is or shall be deemed to be exclusive of
any other available remedy or remedies. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Secured
Party and each of them shall have the right to exercise any available remedy to
recover any amount due and payable hereunder without regard to whether any other
amount is due and payable, and without prejudice to the Secured Party to
exercise any available remedy hereunder or otherwise, for other Events of
Defaults existing at the time the earlier action was commenced.
(b) Any delay, omission or failure by the Secured Party to insist upon
the strict performance by the Debtor of any of the covenants, conditions and
agreements herein set forth or to exercise any right or remedy available to it
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, shall not
impair any such right or remedy or be considered or taken as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future the right to insist upon and to enforce, by
injunction or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, strict compliance by
the Debtor with all of the covenants, conditions and agreements herein or
otherwise, or of the right to exercise any such rights or remedies if such
default by the Debtor be continued or repeated.
Section 9. No Waiver. Failure by the Secured Party to exercise any
right or remedy under this Agreement, under any other agreement between the
Secured Party and the Debtor, including the Note and the Intercreditor
Agreement, or delay by the Secured Party in exercising the same, will not
operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver of any such right or remedy by the
Secured Party will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
Secured Party.
Section 10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure
to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Secured Party and to any
subsequent holders of any of the Liabilities. The term "Debtor" shall be deemed

UCC-1, UCC-3 and other financing statements as may be deemed by the Secured
Party to be reasonably necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of its
interest in the Collateral and any amendments thereto or continuations thereof
without the signature of the Debtor.
Section 13. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as
the Liabilities have been paid in full and all Debtors obligations hereunder
have been performed;

provided, however, that if, at any time, all or part of any payment of the
Liabilities theretofore made by the Debtor or any other Person is rescinded or
otherwise must be returned by the Secured Party for any reason whatsoever
(including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Debtor or any other Person), this Agreement shall continue to be effective
or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as to the Liabilities which were
satisfied by the payment to be rescinded or returned, all as though such payment
had not been made. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Secured Party
shall deliver any appropriate UCC-3 termination statements to the Debtor.
Section 14. Further Assurances. The Debtor will promptly and duly
execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further documents, instruments,
writings and assurances and take such further action as the Secured Party may
from time to time reasonably request, in order to evidence, effectuate, perfect
or maintain the perfected security interest of the Secured Party in the
Collateral and to otherwise carry out more effectively the intent and purpose of
this Agreement and to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or
intended to be created in favor of the Secured Party hereunder.
Section 15. Interpretation. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
ruled invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such

WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED ON OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE, ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR EFFECTED PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO, ANY
DEALINGS OR COURSE OF DEALING BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF

and will continue to rely on this waiver in its future dealings with the other
party. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing, and this
waiver shall apply to all claims, of any nature whatsoever, whether deriving
from contract, arising by law, based on tort or otherwise. THE DEBTOR AND THE
SECURED PARTY HAVE MADE THIS WAIVER KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND THIS WAIVER
SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE. THIS WAIVER SHALL ALSO APPLY TO ALL AMENDMENTS,

consent to a trial by the court.
Section 19. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact and Proxy. The
Debtor hereby appoints each of the Secured Party with full power of
substitution, as the Debtor's true lawful attorney-in-fact, and in the name and
on behalf of the Debtor and at the Debtor's expense, from time to time in the
Secured Party's discretion from and after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default to take any action and to execute any
instrument which any of the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to

limitation, to execute and file alone any financing statement and any document
or instrument under any other applicable laws, and to receive, endorse and
collect all instruments made payable to the Debtor representing any dividend or
other distribution in respect of any of the Collateral and to give full
discharge for the same. The Debtor ratifies and approves all such acts of such
attorney and proxy. The Secured Party will not be liable for any acts or
omissions, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, other than
such Secured Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by
a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This
power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all Liabilities have
been paid in full.
Section 20. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and
agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and
powers coupled with an interest.
Section 21. Indemnification by the Debtor. The Debtor shall indemnify
the Secured Party and each director, officer and agent of the Secured Party

Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee (subject to (Y) below), incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out any third party claims of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or the Note, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby, the performance by
-10-
the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder or the consummation of the transactions or any other transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any loan made pursuant to the Note or the
use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or
any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided, however, (X) that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee and (Y) the Debtor shall have the right to defend
any such claim with counsel of its choosing (reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnitee) and otherwise control the defense thereof; provided, however, that
with respect to this subsection (Y), Debtor must first acknowledge to Indemnitee
in writing that the claim is subject to the Indemnification provided by this
Section 21 and must satisfy Indemnitee that Debtor has the financial ability to
satisfy the claim in full.
