SECTION 2. ISSUANCE AND TERMS OF SECURED INSTRUMENT
2.1 Secured Instrument. The Obligee hereby agrees that
on the Issuance Date, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall execute
and deliver to the Obligee the Secured Instrument. If the
Obligee is making a loan hereunder to the Company and the
Subsidiaries on the Issuance Date: the original outstanding
principal amount of the Secured Instrument shall be the
principal amount of such loan as specified by the Company, up
to $10,000,000; there shall be only one borrowing hereunder;
and if such loan is less than $10,000,000 the Obligee's commit-
ment shall terminate with respect to any remaining portion of
such $10,000,000. If no loan is made hereunder prior to the
-24-
issuance of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Investment Agree-
ment, on the Issuance Date: there shall be no borrowings here-
under and the Secured Instrument shall evidence the joint and
several obligation of the Company and the other Co-Makers to
repurchase Preferred Stock under Section 8 of the Certificate
of Designation and pay all other Secured Obligations, all of
which shall be secured by the Security Documents.
2.2 Payment of Secured Instrument. (A) If the Obligee
has made a loan hereunder to the Company and the Subsidiaries
on the Issuance Date, the following provisions shall be
applicable: The then outstanding principal amount of the
Secured Instrument shall be due and payable, and shall be paid
in full by the Company and the Subsidiaries, on the Maturity
Date. In addition: (a) a principal installment in an amount
designated in writing by the Obligee in its sole discretion to
the Company on or before December 2, 1997, not to exceed the
lesser of (x) the outstanding amount due under the Secured
Instrument and (y) $5,000,000, shall be due with respect to the
Secured Instrument on December 31, 1997, provided that if the
Obligee shall fail to designate any amount by such date, the
amount of such installment shall be the lesser of (x) the out-
standing amount due under the Secured Instrument and (y)
$5,000,000, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of the
maturity of any of the principal of the Secured Instrument
pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof or pursuant to
the terms of the Secured Instrument, such accelerated principal
shall be immediately due and payable. The principal of the
Secured Instrument may be prepaid in whole or in part, from
time to time, without premium or penalty. On any date that any
principal is due and payable hereunder, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, all accrued and unpaid interest with
respect to such principal likewise shall be due and payable on
such date.
(B) If no loan is made hereunder prior to the issu-
ance of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Investment Agree-
ment, the obligations evidenced by the Secured Instrument shall
be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the relevant
Transaction Document.
2.3 Conversion of Secured Instrument into Preferred
Stock. If the Obligee has made a loan hereunder to the Company
and the Subsidiaries on the Issuance Date, the following
provisions shall be applicable: The outstanding principal
amount of the Secured Instrument shall be convertible into
Preferred Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Investment Agreement. All interest and other
amounts (other than principal) theretofore accrued and owing
hereunder or under the Due Diligence Fee Agreement shall be
-25-
paid in full prior to or concurrent with such conversion. If
the Secured Instrument is converted into Preferred Stock and
the Obligee purchases additional Preferred Stock as set forth
in the Investment Agreement, the Company will be obligated to
repurchase all such Preferred Stock on the happening of
certain conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
From and after such conversion of the Secured Instrument into
Preferred Stock, the Secured Instrument shall no longer
evidence an indebtedness for borrowed money, and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the term
Secured Obligations as used in this Agreement and each other
Transaction Document shall not mean or include any indebtedness
for principal or interest, but the Secured Instrument shall
remain in full force and effect to evidence the obligation of
the Company to repurchase all such Preferred Stock under
Section 8 of the Certificate of Designation and pay all other
Secured Obligations then outstanding and the joint and several
obligation of each and every Subsidiary to pay the Secured
Obligations then outstanding, all of which shall continue to be
secured by the Security Documents.
2.4 Interest Rates and Interest Payment Dates.
(a) From and after the Issuance Date, subject to
Sections 2.4(b) and 2.10, as well before as after judgment, the
outstanding principal amount of any loan made hereunder by the
Obligee on the Issuance Date at all times shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to twenty percent (20%).
(b) Section 2.4(a) notwithstanding, but subject to
Section 2.10, from and after the occurrence and during the con-
tinuance of an Event of Default and in any event at all times
after a Negative Shareholder Vote, all amounts due hereunder
and not paid when due shall bear interest at a per annum rate,
as well before as after judgment, equal to twenty-three percent
(23%) (the "Default Rate").
(c) Interest on the outstanding principal amount of
any loan made hereunder by the Obligee on the Issuance Date
shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, pro-
vided that from and after the occurrence and during the con-
tinuance of an Event of Default interest accruing pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 2.4 also shall be payable on xx-
xxxx.
2.5 Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) Interest and fees shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.
-26-
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the
Obligee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
2.6 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. If the Secured
Instrument is replaced with multiple Secured Instruments
pursuant to Section 10.6, each payment (including each
prepayment) by the Company on account of such Secured
Instruments shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding amounts of the Secured Instruments. All payments
(including prepayments) to be made by the Company hereunder and
under the Secured Instruments shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim and shall be made prior to noon, New York City
time, on the due date thereof, in Dollars and in immediately
available funds to the following account: FBO: Apollo Real
Estate Investment Fund II, L.P.-Operating Money Market Account,
Chase Manhattan Bank, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XXX #: 000-000-000,
Account #: 230-211755, or to such other account as Obligee may
specify in writing. If any payment hereunder becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with re-
spect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be pay-
able at then-applicable rate during such extension.
2.7 Taxes. Any Obligee that is not organized under the
laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees
that it will deliver to the Company and the Obligee (a) two
duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may
be, and (b) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or
successor applicable form. Each such Obligee also agrees to
deliver to the Company two further copies of the said Form 1001
or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms or
other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before
the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company, and
such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be
requested by the Company, unless in any such case any change in
treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on
which any such delivery would otherwise be required which
renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such
Obligee from duly completing and delivering any such form with
respect to it and such the Obligee so advises the Company and
any other Obligees. Such Obligee shall certify (a) in the case
of a Form 1001 or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments
under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes, and (b) in the case of a
Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from
United States backup withholding tax.
-27-
2.8 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of any loan made by
the Obligee hereunder shall be used only for the lawful and
permitted corporate purposes relating to the Company's domestic
business specified pursuant to Section 5.1(z). The proceeds of
the issuance of Preferred Stock shall be used as specified in
the Investment Agreement.
2.9 Fees. The Company shall pay (a) to the Collateral
Agent such fees as may be required under any agreement between
the Company and the Collateral Agent with respect to compensa-
tion of the Collateral Agent in respect of its services, and
(b) to each other person or entity to whom the Company has
agreed to pay a fee in connection with this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, such fees as may be required under such
agreement; provided in each case that such agreement has been
approved by the Obligee.
2.10 Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained in this
Agreement, the Secured Instrument or any other Transaction
Document shall require the Company or the Subsidiaries to pay
interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law. If the amount of interest paid or payable on
any date, computed pursuant to applicable law and the
Transaction Documents, would exceed the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law to be charged, the amount of
interest paid or payable on such date shall be automatically
reduced to such maximum permissible amount and the excess
applied to principal or, if no principal shall be outstanding
and such amount has been paid, returned to the payor. If the
amount of interest payable to the Obligee in respect of any
interest computation period is reduced pursuant to the
preceding sentence of this Section and the amount of interest
payable for its account in respect of any subsequent interest
computation period, computed pursuant to applicable law and the
Transaction Documents, would be less than the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law to be charged, then the amount of
interest payable to the Obligee in respect of such subsequent
interest computation period shall be automatically increased to
such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no time shall
the aggregate amount by which interest paid had been increased
pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which
interest has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the preceding
sentence of this Section.
SECTION 3. COLLATERAL
3.1 Liens in Subsidiary Stock, Contract Receivables, Real
Property and Personal Property. To secure the prompt payment
of the Secured Obligations, together with all costs, expenses,
-28-
fees and other obligations payable by the Company or the Sub-
sidiaries hereunder or under any Transaction Document with re-
spect to the Secured Obligations, on or before the Issuance
Date the Company shall grant, and shall cause each Subsidiary
to grant, to Collateral Agent a continuing Lien, junior to the
Lien created by, and securing the obligations of the Company
and Subsidiaries under, the Foothill Loan Documents with re-
spect to property of the Company and the Subsidiaries other
than the SP Sub Collateral and senior to the Lien created by,
and securing the obligations of the Company and Subsidiaries
under, the Foothill Loan Documents with respect to SP Sub Col-
lateral, in and to all of the following property and interests
in property of the Company and the Subsidiaries, except the
Excluded Property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter
acquired or arising, or in which the Company and the Subsidiar-
ies now or hereafter have any rights, and wheresoever located,
and all proceeds thereof ("Collateral"):
(a) the Subsidiary Stock;
(b) the Homesite Contracts Receivable;
(c) the Commercial Receivables;
(d) the Real Property; and
(e) the Personal Property.
At such times as any Excluded Property is freed of contractual
or legal restrictions against becoming subject to a Lien to
secure the Secured Obligations or upon the distribution of any
Trust Property to the Company or a Subsidiary (including an
Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture), such property shall,
automatically, become subject to the Liens created by the Secu-
rity Documents, and the Company shall notify the Obligee in
writing of such event and take such further actions as may be
required by the Obligee and/or Collateral Agent to evidence and
perfect such Liens; provided that, in no event, shall a Lien be
granted on any assets required to be placed in a Reserve Ac-
count pursuant to the Reorganization Plan or the Homesite Pro-
gram.
3.2 Security Documents. To evidence and perfect the
Liens of the Obligee and Collateral Agent in the Collateral in
accordance with applicable law, on or before the Issuance Date
the Company shall execute and deliver and will cause the Sub-
sidiaries to execute and deliver, to Collateral Agent the Secu-
rity Documents, which Security Documents will be delivered to
the Obligee and filed and recorded, and the Company will de-
liver, and shall cause the Subsidiaries to deliver (or, if such
-29-
Collateral shall be in the possession of the collateral agent
for the holders of the Foothill Debt, shall cause such agent to
acknowledge that it is holding such Collateral for the benefit
of the Obligee as well as the holders of the Foothill Debt) to
Collateral Agent any Collateral if the perfection of a Lien
against such Collateral requires possession thereof for pur-
poses of perfecting such Liens, all at the cost and expense of
the Company. Specifically, but without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, on or before the Issuance Date the Company
will do, and will cause the Subsidiaries to do, the following,
in the case of property of the Company and the Subsidiaries
other than the SP Sub Collateral subject to the senior and
prior Liens created by, and securing the obligations of the
Company and Subsidiaries under, the Foothill Loan Documents and
in the case of the SP Sub Collateral senior and prior to the

ecuted in blank by the Company and shall deliver all original

Receivables. To evidence and perfect the Liens of Collateral
Agent in the Homesite Contracts Receivable and Commercial Re-
ceivables, the Company and the Subsidiaries will execute and

with related financing statements, which will be filed and re-
corded in accordance with applicable law, and the Company and

Receivables to the order of Collateral Agent and shall deliver
such promissory notes and the related mortgages or deeds of
trust to Collateral Agent or its designee, and shall execute
and deliver assignments of promissory notes and mortgages or
deeds of trust, filed and recorded in accordance with appli-
cable law, and, as to Commercial Receivables acquired following

naming Collateral Agent as the insured mortgagee thereunder.

Liens of Collateral Agent in the Real Property, the Company

and the Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to Collateral
Agent the Mortgages and Deed of Trust, as applicable, and re-
lated financing statements encumbering such Real Property,

Liens of Collateral Agent in the Personal Property, the Company
and Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent
the Security Agreements, together with related financing state-
ments, which have been or will be filed and recorded in ac-
cordance with applicable law, and, to the extent that the Per-
xxxxx Property comprises Investments or Bank Accounts, the Com-
pany and Subsidiaries shall take the following actions:
(i) with respect to any Investment or Bank Ac-
count which is or becomes evidenced by an agreement, in-
strument, certificate or document, including promissory
notes, stock certificates, bonds, debentures, securities
and certificates of deposit, the Company shall from time
to time deliver, or shall from time to time cause such
Subsidiary to deliver, the original thereof to the Col-
lateral Agent, together with appropriate assignments and
endorsements or other specific evidence of assignment
thereof to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance
acceptable to the Collateral Agent;
(ii) with respect to any Investment or Bank Ac-
count which is not certificated or otherwise evidenced as
described in clause (i) above, including uncertificated
securities and depository and other accounts maintained
with financial institutions and any other Persons, the
Company shall notify the Obligee thereof and take, or
cause such Subsidiary to take, any and all steps which are
required by the Obligee for purposes of perfecting the
Collateral Agent's Lien therein;
(iii) the Company shall keep the Obligee informed
of any and all Bank Accounts maintained by the Company or
any such Subsidiary with any financial institution or
other Person and, if requested by the Obligee, the Company
-31-
or any such Subsidiary shall execute a cash collateral
account agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
the Obligee, pursuant to which the Lien of Collateral
Agent in such Bank Accounts is perfected and preserved;
and
(iv) if deemed by the Obligee, in its sole dis-
cretion, to be necessary for purposes of perfecting the
Lien of the Collateral Agent in any Bank Account, the Com-
pany shall transfer to and maintain in a cash collateral
account, and shall cause the Subsidiaries to transfer to
and maintain in a cash collateral account, the funds in
each such Bank Account and, if deemed necessary by the
Obligee, shall execute and cause any such Subsidiary to
execute a cash collateral account agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent,
pursuant to which the Lien of Collateral Agent in such
Bank Account shall be perfected and preserved; provided,
however, the Company shall not be required to deposit the
residual, remainder or beneficial interest of the Company
and any such Subsidiary in the Reserve Accounts, the
Claims Disbursement Accounts and other escrow, restricted,
custodial and fiduciary accounts until such time as all
amounts required to be disbursed to the intended benefi-
ciaries thereof have been disbursed and the residual or
remainder is available to the Company and its Subsidiaries
for deposit in an unrestricted account.
(f) Additional Acts. The Company shall, and shall
cause the Subsidiaries to, take all actions and execute all
documents deemed necessary by the Obligee or Collateral Agent
to ensure that, upon the issuance of the Secured Instrument,
the Obligee or Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Obligee, shall have a security interest in the Collateral
granted by the Security Documents (a) junior only to the Liens
thereon established under the Foothill Loan Documents in the
case of Collateral other than SP Sub Collateral and (b) senior
to all Liens thereon, including the Liens thereon established
under the Foothill Loan Documents, in the case of SP Sub
Collateral. If the perfection or recordation of Collateral
Agent's Lien or the Lien of the Obligee pursuant hereto upon
any Collateral acquired hereafter by the Company or any
Subsidiary requires any additional act of possession or filing
or recordation of any Security Document, the Company shall
notify the Obligee of the acquisition of such Collateral and,
at the Obligee's request, the Company shall execute and deliver
and shall cause the Subsidiaries to execute and deliver such
Security Documents for filing or recordation and deliver such
items of Collateral as Collateral Agent or the Obligee may
reasonably request for purposes thereof and the Company shall
-32-
pay the cost of preparing any such Security Documents and the
filing and recordation thereof. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees to, and to
cause each Subsidiary (other than with respect to property re-
quired to be released pursuant to Section 3.6) to notify the
Obligee upon the acquisition of any Real Property acquired
after the date hereof, except as provided by Section 3.6, and
upon request of the Obligee, to provide to the Obligee an
appraisal and an environmental report (each in form and
substance satisfactory to the Obligee) covering such property,
and to cause such Real Property to be subjected to a Mortgage
or Deed of Trust in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit
of Obligee. With respect to any such Mortgages or Deed of
Trust, the Company or such Subsidiary shall deliver to the
Obligee the following, all in form and substance satisfactory
to the Obligee: (i) executed Mortgages or Deed of Trust and
financing statements encumbering such property and (ii) ALTA
lenders' extended coverage policies of title insurance on such
property, in liability, amount and form and issued by a title
company satisfactory to the Obligee showing the Mortgage or
Deed of Trust as a perfected lien upon the property, subject
only to Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.3 and such other
exceptions as may be approved by the Obligee in writing,
together with endorsements reasonably required by the Obligee
and affirmative assurances that the improvements are wholly
located within the boundaries of the insured land.
3.3 Section 365(j) Property. Pursuant to the Reorganiza-
tion Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Company has desig-
nated the property which comprises the Section 365(j) Property,
which property, at the time of execution of the mortgage encum-
bering the Section 365(j) Property in favor of the trustee for
the holders of Section 365(j) Liens, had a value, as appraised
pursuant to the Company's land plan book dated May, 1991, no
greater than 120% of the value of the Section 365(j) Liens es-
tablished pursuant to the Reorganization Plan. The Liens
granted to Collateral Agent pursuant hereto in the Section
365(j) Property are subordinate to the Liens of the Section
365(j) Liens and Collateral Agent shall not be permitted to
exercise its rights or remedies of foreclosure against such
property or exercise any other rights with respect to such
property until such time as the Section 365(j) Liens have been
satisfied or have been transferred to other property acceptable
to the Bankruptcy Court.
3.4 [intentionally omitted]
-33-
3.5 Subordinations and Releases of Mortgage and Related
Personal Property Liens.
(a) [intentionally omitted]
(b) Except with respect to SP Sub Collateral, at
such times as Liens are granted by the Company or any Subsid-
iary, as permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(n), so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would result therefrom, and provided the Obligee has received a
certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying and demonstrat-
ing that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(n) have
been satisfied, the Obligee shall instruct Collateral Agent to
and Collateral Agent shall execute documentation subordinating
the Lien of the Mortgages to such Liens, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Obligee and Collateral Agent, unless such
Real Property qualifies for the release provisions in Section
3.5(c), in which event the provisions of Section 3.5(c) shall
apply.
(c) Except with respect to SP Sub Collateral, at
such time as Liens are granted by any Subsidiary, as permitted
by Section 7.3(n), so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and
provided the Obligee has received a certificate of a
Responsible Officer certifying and demonstrating that all of
the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(n) have been satisfied,
the Obligee shall instruct Collateral Agent to and Collateral
Agent shall release the Lien of the Mortgages on any Subsidiary
Property Under Development if (i)(x) such Real Property is
financed under the acquisition and project financing provisions
of Sections 7.2(f) or 7.2(j), and (y) the terms of such
financing prohibit subordinate Liens upon such Real Property,
or (ii) such Real Property is contributed by the Company to a
Subsidiary pursuant to Section 7.8(g). The Company shall use
reasonable efforts to cause any lender/seller providing the
acquisition and/or project financing on Subsidiary Property
Under Development to permit the subordination of Collateral
Agent's Liens on such Subsidiary Property Under Development,
and thereby to eliminate the need for Collateral Agent to
release its Liens on such Subsidiary Property Under
Development. In connection with the release of any Liens on
Subsidiary Property Under Development pursuant to this Section
3.5(c), upon the request of the Company, the Obligee shall
instruct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall, re-
lease any Liens upon any Personal Property related to, and in-
tegral to the use of, the Real Property being released; pro-
vided that the Company provides a detailed list of such Per-
xxxxx Property to be released in form and substance satisfac-
tory to the Obligee. If such lender/seller will permit such
-34-
subordination, then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 3.5(c), Collateral Agents's Liens on such
Subsidiary Property Under Development will not be released and
will become subordinate Liens pursuant to documentation in form
and substance satisfactory to the Obligee.
(d) [intentionally omitted]
3.6 Subsidiary Guaranties. The Company shall not create
or acquire any Subsidiary after the date hereof and prior to
July 1, 1997. The Company shall cause any entity becoming a
Subsidiary after July 1, 1997 to execute and deliver guarantees
in the form of the Subsidiary Guaranties and counterparts of
the Transaction Documents to which Subsidiaries of the Company
are parties (other than the Secured Instrument, the Secured
Agreement and the initial Mortgages recorded in Florida), and
to take all such steps as shall be necessary to create in favor
of the Collateral Agent duly perfected and recorded Liens
securing the Secured Obligations including by executing and
delivering additional Security Documents in substantially the
form of the Security Documents. In the case of any subsequent
Florida Mortgages executed by such subsequent Subsidiaries to
secure their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranties, the
amount of recovery under such subsequent Mortgages shall be
limited to an amount not greater than the value of the
respective additional mortgaged property.
3.7 Special Purpose Subsidiary. Without the express
prior written consent of Obligee, Special Purpose Subsidiary
shall not, and the Company shall not permit Special Purpose
Subsidiary (which term, as used in this Agreement, includes
Special Purpose Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries) to, directly
or indirectly:
(a) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness under the
Transaction Documents and, on a basis subordi-
nate to the Indebtedness under the Transaction
Documents consistent with the Intercreditor
Agreement, Indebtedness permitted by Section
7.2(b);
(b) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien upon the Capital Stock of Special Purpose
Subsidiary or upon any of the property, assets
or revenues of Special Purpose Subsidiary,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other

on a basis subordinate to the Indebtedness under
the Transaction Documents consistent with the
-35-
Intercreditor Agreement, Liens securing Indebt-
edness permitted by Section 7.2(b);
(c) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Guarantee Obligation, other than Guarantee Obli-
gations under the Transaction Documents and, on
a basis subordinate to the Guarantee Obligations
under the Transaction Documents consistent with
the Intercreditor Agreement, Guarantee Obliga-
tions in respect of Indebtedness permitted by
Section 7.2(b);
(d) except to the extent such merger, consolidation
or amalgamation is of a Subsidiary of Special
Purpose Subsidiary with and into Special Purpose
Subsidiary, or between or among wholly owned
Subsidiaries of Special Purpose Subsidiary, en-
ter into any merger, consolidation or amalgam-
ation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself
(or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), or
convey, sell, lease, assign, transfer or other-
wise dispose of, all or substantially all of its
property, business or assets;
(e) except as expressly approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company in connection with a
Board-approved real estate development project,

wise dispose of any of its property, business or
assets (including receivables and leasehold in-
terests), whether now owned or hereafter ac-
quired;
(f) declare or pay any dividend on, or make any pay-
ment on account of, or set apart assets for a
sinking or other analogous fund for, the pur-
chase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or
other acquisition of any Capital Stock of the
Company other than the Preferred Stock, whether
now or hereafter outstanding, or make any other
distributions in respect thereof, either di-
rectly or indirectly, whether in cash or prop-
erty or in obligations of Special Purpose Sub-
sidiary, except for dividends declared and paid
by any Subsidiary of Special Purpose Subsidiary
to Special Purpose Subsidiary or any Subsidiary
of Special Purpose Subsidiary and except as per-
mitted by Section 6.14(d)(iii) or (d)(iv) of the
Investment Agreement;
-36-
(g) except as expressly approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company in connection with a
Board-approved real estate development project,
make, or enter into any agreement the perfor-
xxxxx of the terms of which would require Spe-
cial Purpose Subsidiary to make (by way of the
acquisition of securities of a Person or other-
wise), any expenditures in respect of the pur-
chase or other acquisition of fixed or capital
assets;
(h) except as expressly approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company in connection with a
Board-approved real estate development project,
make any advance, loan, extension of credit or
capital contribution to, or purchase any stock,
bonds, notes, debentures or other securities of

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Obligee
that:
4.1 Financial Condition.
(a) The consolidated balance sheets of the Company
and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1996 and
the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows
for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by Ernst &
Xxxxx, a copy of which has been furnished to the Obligee,
fairly and accurately present the consolidated financial
condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations
and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then
ended.
(b) In the event the Issuance Date occurs after
May 15, 1997: The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the
Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the three months then ended, a copy of which has been
delivered to the Obligee, fairly and accurately presents the
consolidated financial condition of the Company and its con-
solidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
for the three months, then ended (subject to normal year-end
adjustments) and a Responsible Officer has so certified to the
Obligee.
(c) All such financial statements described in
clauses (a) and (b) above, including the related schedules and
notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP ap-
plied consistently throughout the periods involved (except for
such inconsistencies as approved by such accountants or Respon-
sible Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein).
Neither the Company nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries
had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to
above, any material Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability
-38-
or liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual for-
xxxx or long-term commitment, including any interest rate or
foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not
reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto
or in Schedule 4.1. Since December 31, 1996, there has been no
sale, transfer or other disposition or agreement therefor by
the Company or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any ma-
terial part of its business or property and no purchase or
other acquisition of any business or property (including any
capital stock of any other Person) which is material in rela-
tion to the consolidated financial condition of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 1996, except as
described in Schedule 4.1 or consented to in writing by the
Obligee in its sole discretion.
(d) The three-year Management Business Plan update
for the period 1996-1998 delivered to the Obligee prior to the
date hereof (i) was prepared in good faith upon assumptions
believed by the Company to be reasonable, it being understood
that the projections therein contained as to future events are
subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies which are
beyond the control of the Company and may be significant, and
thus no assurance can be given that such projections will be
realized, and (ii) presents fairly, in all material respects,
the actual results of operations of the Company and Subsidiar-
ies for the period from January 1, 1996 through the date
thereof, in accordance with GAAP, subject to recurring year-end
audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.
4.2 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 1996,
(a) there has been no development or event nor any prospective
development or event, which has had or could reasonably be ex-
pected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except such devel-
opments or events or prospective developments or events as have
been disclosed by the Company in filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission made prior to the date hereof and true
and correct copies of which have been delivered to the Obligee
or as set forth on Schedule 4.2, and (b) no dividends or other
distributions have been declared, paid or made upon the Capital
Stock of the Company nor has any of the Capital Stock of the
Company been redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired
for value by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the
date hereof and the Issuance Date, no motion for the conversion
of the case, appointment of a trustee, or dismissal is pending
or has been denied, the reversal of which on appeal would af-
fect the validity of this Agreement and no appeal has been
taken from the entry of the Confirmation Order in the Reorgani-
zation Proceedings, the reversal, modification, or affirmance
of which will affect the validity or enforceability, or change
-39-
the provisions, of this Agreement or any other Transaction Doc-
ument.

the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly

Effect, (b) has the corporate power and authority, and the le-
gal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the prop-
erty it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which

ered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
-40-

party has been or will be duly executed and delivered on behalf
of each such Subsidiary. Each Transaction Document to which
any Subsidiary (including Unrestricted Subsidiaries) is a
party, executed and delivered constitutes, or when executed and
delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obliga-
tion of each such Subsidiary, enforceable against each such
Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, except as enforce-
ability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the en-
forcement of creditors rights generally and by general equi-

xxxxx of this Agreement, the Secured Instrument and the other
Transaction Documents, and the use of the proceeds of the
Secured Instruments will not violate (i) any Requirement of Law
or (ii) except as disclosed on Schedule 4.5 hereto, any
material Contractual Obligation of the Company or of any of its

any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.
4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation
or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Au-
thority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threat-
ened by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or

eration of its business, and none of such property of the Com-
pany or such Subsidiaries is subject to any Lien except as per-
mitted by Section 7.3. To the best knowledge of the Company,
after diligent inquiry, the Collateral includes all property of
the Company and its Subsidiaries that is not Excluded Property.

Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes nec-
xxxxxx for the conduct of its business as currently conducted
except for those the failure to own or license which is not
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (the "In-
tellectual Property"). No claim has been asserted and is pend-
ing by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any
such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of
any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company know of
any valid basis for any such claim. The use of such Intel-
lectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries does not
infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims

provisions of the Regulations of such Board of Governors.
4.12 ERISA. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.12 or by
letter to the Obligee referring to this Section 4.12 delivered

6.7(d), no Reportable Event has occurred during the five-year
period prior to the date on which this representation is made
or deemed made with respect to any Plan. The Company and each
Commonly Controlled Entity are in substantial compliance with
the applicable provisions of ERISA with respect to each Plan.
The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single
Employer Plan (based on the reasonable assumptions used by the
independent actuary for such Plan for purposes of establishing
the minimum funding requirements under Section 412 of the Code)
did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date
on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the
value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued ben-
efits, individually or in the aggregate for all Single Employer
Plans (excluding for purposes of such computation any Single
Employer Plans with respect to which the value of the assets
exceed the present value of the accrued benefits), by more than
$4,600,000. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled
-43-
Entity is liable under Title IV of ERISA by reason of the ter-
mination of a Single Employer Plan or the withdrawal from a
Single Employer Plan in which it was a "substantial employer"
within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(2) of ERISA. Each Plan
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, in-
cluding each Single Employer Plan, is qualified in operation
under Section 401(a) of the Code and is qualified in form under
Section 401(a) of the Code, except with respect to any required
amendments with respect to which the remedial amendment period
under Section 401(b) of the Code has not expired. Neither the
Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete
or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan and neither
the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become
subject to any liability under ERISA if the Company or any such
Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw from all Multiem-
ployer Plans in complete withdrawals within the meaning of Sec-
tion 4203 of ERISA as of the valuation dates for such plans
most closely preceding the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made. No Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganiza-
tion or Insolvent. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Con-
trolled Entity is liable for fines, penalties, taxes or related
charges under Chapter 43 of the Code or under Sections 409,
502(c), 502(i), 502(1) or 4071 of ERISA in an amount exceeding
$50,000 in the aggregate at any time. There are no material
claims (other than routine claims for benefits) against any
Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) or against the Company
or any Commonly Controlled Entity in connection with any such
Plan. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity
is liable for post retirement benefits to be provided to their
current and former employees under Plans which are welfare ben-
efit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) except as re-
quired by Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA.
4.13 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Com-
pany is not an "investment company," or a company "controlled"
by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Invest-
ment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company is not sub-
ject to regulation under any Federal or state statute or regu-
lation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.
4.14 Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. The Subsidiaries
listed on Schedule 4.14(A) constitute all of the Subsidiaries
and such schedule identifies the shareholders of such Subsid-
iary, the Joint Ventures listed on Schedule 4.14(B) constitute
all of the Joint Ventures and such schedule identifies all own-
ers of the Joint Venture interests thereof and the percentage
equity ownership of such owners, and neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary other than a Venture Subsidiary owns any Joint
Venture interest.

SECTION 9. THE COLLATERAL AGENT
9.1 [intentionally omitted]
9.2 Appointment of Collateral Agent. The Obligee hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints each of The Bank of New
York and Foothill Capital Corporation as Collateral Agent under
this Agreement and the Security Documents to which the
Collateral Agent is a party with respect to the SP Sub
Collateral and the Collateral other than SP Sub Collateral,
respectively, and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such ap-
pointment, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agree-
ment, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents to
which it is a party. The Obligee hereby further authorizes and
directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents,
the Intercreditor Agreement and all other documents, consents,
joinders, acknowledgments and other written matter to be exe-
cuted and delivered by Collateral Agent on the Issuance Date
and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. The Obligee ir-
revocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, as Collateral Agent
for the Obligee, to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and
the Security Documents to which Collateral Agent is a party,
and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are ex-
pressly delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms of this
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Doc-
uments to which it is a party, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided that Collateral
Agent shall not enter into any consent to any amendment, modi-
fication, termination or waiver of any provision contained in
-78-
this Agreement or any Security Document to which it is party
without the prior written consent of the Obligee. The Obligee
hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to release Collateral only
as expressly permitted or required under this Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents and agrees
that a certificate executed by Collateral Agent evidencing such
release of Collateral shall be conclusive evidence of such
release to any third party. Collateral Agent shall not
subordinate or release any Liens under any of the Security
Documents except as provided in this Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement or upon the written direction of the
Obligee. All notices and directions to Collateral Agent shall
be given in writing by the Obligee.
9.3 [intentionally omitted]
9.4 Delegation of Duties. Collateral Agent may execute
any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Secured
Instrument Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. Collateral Agent shall not
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents
or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Not-
withstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement, Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or re-
sponsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any
fiduciary relationship with the Obligee, and no implied cov-
enants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Se-
cured Instrument Document or otherwise exist against Collateral
Agent; and Collateral Agent is acting hereunder and under the
other Secured Note Documents solely as the collateral agent of
the Obligee pursuant hereto and thereto, and Collateral Agent
is not acting as trustee for the Obligee.
9.5 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Obligee, Col-
lateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a)
liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by
it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document (except for its or such Persons
own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible
in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof contained
in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received by the Obligee under or in connec-
tion with, this Agreement or any other Secured Floating Rate
Note Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genu-
ineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the
-79-
Secured Instrument or any other Transaction Document or for any
failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. Neither the Obligee nor Collateral Agent shall be
under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
in, or conditions to, this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or as to the use of proceeds of the Secured Instrument
or the Investment Agreement or of the existence or possible
existence of a Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of the Company.
9.6 Reliance by the Obligee.
(a) Each of the Obligee and Collateral Agent shall
be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any Secured Instrument, writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram,
telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other
document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including counsel to the Company), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Obligee or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be.
(b) Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document unless (i) it shall first re-
ceive such advice or concurrence as it deems appropriate from
the Obligee, or (ii) it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Obligee against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action, except in the case of
Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the
Secured Instrument and the other Transaction Documents in
accordance with a request of the Obligee and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon the Obligee and all future holders of the Secured
Instrument.
9.7 Notice of Default. Neither the Obligee nor Collat-
eral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the
Obligee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has received
notice from the Obligee (in the case of Collateral Agent) or
the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
"notice of default." If the Obligee receives such a notice,
-80-
the Obligee shall promptly give notice thereof to Collateral
Agent. If Collateral Agent receives such a notice, Collateral
Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Obligee.
Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Obligee
(subject to the provisions of Section 9.6(b)); provided that
unless and until Collateral Agent shall have received such
directions, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem
advisable in the best interests of the Obligee.
9.8 Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent. The Obligee ex-
pressly acknowledges that neither Collateral Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, includ-
ing any review of the affairs of the Company or any of its Sub-
sidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by Collateral Agent to the Obligee. The Obligee
represents to Collateral Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon Collateral Agent, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and made
its own decision to enter into this Agreement. The Obligee
also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon Collateral Agent, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue
to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it
deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Except
for the notices, reports and other documents expressly required
to be furnished by the Collateral Agent to the Obligee
hereunder, if any, Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide the Obligee with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property,
condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
which may come into the possession of Collateral Agent or any
of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-
fact or Affiliates.
9.9 Indemnification. The Obligee agrees to indemnify
Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation
-81-
of the Company to do so) from and against any and all liabili-
ties, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judg-
ments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time follow-
ing the payment of the Secured Instrument) be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against Collateral Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other
Transaction Documents or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Collateral
Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided that the Obligee shall not be liable for the payment
of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements resulting solely from Collateral Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this
Section shall survive the payment of the Secured Instrument and
all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.10 [intentionally omitted]
9.11 [intentionally omitted]
9.12 Successor Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may
resign as Collateral Agent, upon 30 days' notice to the
Obligee. If Collateral Agent shall resign as Collateral Agent
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, then
the Obligee shall appoint a successor collateral agent for the
Obligee, which successor collateral agent, except if an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be
approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), whereupon, effective upon acceptance of
its appointment as successor collateral agent, such successor
collateral agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties
of Collateral Agent and the term "Collateral Agent" shall mean
such successor collateral agent, and the former Collateral
Agent's rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the
part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to
this Agreement or any holder of the Secured Instrument. If the
Obligee fails to appoint a successor collateral agent for the
Obligee as provided above within 30 days after the resignation
of Collateral Agent, then Collateral Agent may appoint a
successor collateral agent for the Obligee, which successor
collateral agent, except if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, shall be approved by the Company
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), whereupon,
effective upon acceptance of its appointment as successor
collateral agent, such successor collateral agent shall succeed
to the rights, powers and duties of Collateral Agent and the
-82-
term "Collateral Agent" shall mean such successor collateral
agent and the former Collateral Agent's rights, powers and
duties as Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the
part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to
this Agreement or any holder of the Secured Instrument. After
any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation as Collateral
Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure and survive
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
(or any matter related thereto) by it while it was Collateral
Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
resignation of Collateral Agent shall not be effective unless
and until a successor collateral agent has been appointed and
has accepted such appointment.
SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, the
Secured Instrument, any other Transaction Document, nor any
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or
modified except with the prior written consent of the Obligee.
No such amendment, supplement or modification shall amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written
consent of then Collateral Agent affected thereby. Any such
waiver of a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the
terms hereof and any such amendment, supplement or modification
shall be binding upon the Company, the Obligee, Collateral
Agent and all future holders of the Secured Instrument. In the
case of any waiver, the Company, the Obligee, and Collateral
Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights
hereunder and under the outstanding Secured Instrument and any
other Transaction Documents, and any Default or Event of
Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent
thereon.
10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or
upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in

shall not be effective until received.
10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exer-
cise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Collateral
Agent or the Obligee, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any sin-
gle or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privi-
lege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers
and privileges provided by law.

ered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or

agreements or undertakings herein or in any thereof in favor of
the Obligee, the Obligee or Collateral Agent and all agreements
or undertakings in Section 3 hereof or otherwise contained
herein or in any thereof relating to the Collateral shall sur-
vive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Secured Instrument and the payment in full of the Secured
Instrument and all Obligations hereunder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the following agreements and
undertakings shall continue in full force and effect so long as
the Secured Instrument, any Preferred Stock or any unpaid
Repurchase Price or Optional Redemption Price (each as defined
in the Certificate of Designation) remains outstanding, whether
or not any loan shall be outstanding hereunder: (i) each term
and provision of the Secured Instrument, the Subsidiary
Guaranties, and the Security Documents, (ii) Section 3, (iii)
-85-
Sections 6 and 7, but only during the period specified in the
introductory paragraph to each such Section, except that the
last paragraph of Section 7.6 shall remain in effect whether or
not the balance of Section 7 shall at the time be in effect and
(iv) Sections 9, 10 and 11 and (in each case) the relevant def-
initions.
10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees
(a) to pay or reimburse the Obligee and Collateral Agent for
all its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the development, preparation and execution of, and any
amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, the
Secured Instrument, the Intercreditor Agreement, and the other
Transaction Documents and any other documents prepared in
connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Obligee and
counsel to Collateral Agent, and the reasonable allocated costs
of in-house counsel to the Obligee and in-house counsel to Col-
lateral Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse the Obligee and
Collateral Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights
under this Agreement, the Secured Instrument, the Intercreditor
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any such other

Obligee and counsel to Collateral Agent, and the reasonable
allocated costs of in-house counsel to the Obligee and in-house
counsel to Collateral Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold
the Obligee and Collateral Agent harmless from, any and all
recording and filing fees, any and all Florida documentary
stamp taxes and Florida intangible personal property taxes and
any and all other stamp, excise and other taxes (other than any
taxes which are determined based solely upon the income or rev-
enues of the Obligee or Collateral Agent), if any, which may be
payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Secured
Instrument, the other Transaction Documents, and any such other
documents, and any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying any of such fees and taxes,
(d) to pay the costs of furnishing all opinions of counsel for
the Company, or obtaining technical assistance advisories,
required hereunder, (e) to pay the costs of obtaining any
required consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications
to the Foothill Loan Documents and the agreements governing the
Unsecured Cash Flow Notes, and any other agreements, (f) to pay
the costs and expenses incurred to continue the perfection of
any Liens in favor of the Obligee and Collateral Agent pursuant
to any of the Security Documents, including the costs of title
searches, title insurance premiums, UCC searches and UCC filing
-86-
charges and (g) to pay, indemnify, and hold each the Obligee
and Collateral Agent harmless from and against any and all
other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of
any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this
Agreement, the Secured Instrument, the Intercreditor Agreement,
the other Transaction Documents, and any such other documents
(all the foregoing, collectively, the "indemnified
liabilities"), provided, that the Company shall have no
obligation hereunder to Collateral Agent or the Obligee, with
respect to indemnified liabilities arising from (i) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent or the
Obligee, as to such party or (ii) as to the Obligee, legal
proceedings commenced against the Obligee by any Transferee (as
defined in Section 10.6). The agreements in this Section shall
survive repayment of the Secured Instrument and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing
Obligee.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Company, the Obligee, Collateral Agent,
all future holders of the Secured Instrument and their
respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may
not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without the
prior written consent of the Obligee.
(b) Subject to Sections 10.6(h) and (k), the
Obligee may at any time sell to one or more banks or other
entities ("Participants") participating interests in the
Secured Instrument or any other interest of the Obligee
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. In the
event of any such sale by the Obligee of participating
interests to a Participant, the Obligee's obligations under
this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, the Obligee shall remain solely responsible
for the performance thereof, the Obligee shall remain the
holder of its Secured Instrument for all purposes under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Company
and Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely, and di-
rectly, with the Obligee in connection with the Obligee's
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents. The Company agrees that if amounts
outstanding under this Agreement and the Secured Instrument are
due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become
due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in
-87-
respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement and the Secured Instrument to the same extent as
if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly
to it as the Obligee under this Agreement or the Secured
Instrument, provided that such Participant shall only be
entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the
agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its
participating interest to share with the Obligee the proceeds
thereof as provided in Section 10.7. The Company also agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.7, 2.9 and 10.5 with respect to its participation in
the Secured Instrument outstanding from time to time; provided,
that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Obligee
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of
the participation transferred by such transferor the Obligee to
such Participant had no such transfer occurred.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, participants
shall not be entitled to require the Obligee to take or omit to
take any action hereunder except with respect to amendments or
waivers resulting in (i) the extension of the regularly
scheduled maturity dates of any portion of a Secured Instrument
in which such Participant is participating (it being understood
that any waiver of an installment on, or the application of,
any prepayment or the method of application of any prepayment
to the amortization of the Secured Instruments shall not
constitute an extension of the regularly scheduled maturity
dates), (ii) a reduction of the amount of, or the rate of
interest or dividends, as applicable (except in connection with
a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates or dividends, as applicable, or margins) or fees
payable on the Secured Instrument in which such participant is
participating, or (iii) the release of all or substantially all
of the Collateral or any Subsidiary Guaranty (except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents).
(c) Subject to Sections 10.6(h) and (k), the
Obligee may at any time sell to any bank or other entity
("Purchasing Obligee") all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the Secured Instrument and
other Transaction Documents, whereupon (i) the Purchasing
Obligee shall be a party hereto and have the rights and
obligations of a Obligee hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, and (ii) the transferor Obligee shall,
to the extent of such transfer, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement and under the other Trans-
action Documents (and, in the case of a transfer covering all
or the remaining portion of a transferor Obligee's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and under the other Secured
Instrument Documents, such transferor Obligee shall cease to be
-88-
a party hereto and thereto). Such transfer shall be deemed to
amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Obligee
under this Agreement and the Secured Instrument and other
Secured Instrument Documents. On or prior to the transfer
effective date, the Company, at its own expense, shall execute
and deliver to the Obligee new Secured Instrument(s) to the
order of such Purchasing Bank in an amount equal to the Secured
Instrument or Secured Instrument portion acquired by it and, if
the transferor Obligee has retained a portion of the Secured
Instrument hereunder, new Secured Instrument(s) to the order of
the transferor Obligee in an amount equal to the portion re-
tained by it. Such new Secured Instrument(s) shall be dated
the same date as, and shall otherwise be in the form of, the
Secured Instrument(s) replaced thereby. The Secured
Instrument(s) replaced by the new Secured Instrument(s), marked
"renewed and replaced," shall be attached to the new Secured
Instrument(s); and a copy thereof shall be sent to the Company.

(e) [intentionally omitted]
(f) Subject to Section 10.16, the Company autho-
rizes the Obligee to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing
Obligee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee
any and all information in the Obligee's possession concerning
the Company and its Affiliates; provided, however, that such
Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of Sec-
tion 10.16.
(g) If, pursuant to this Section 10.6, any interest
in this Agreement or any Secured Instrument is transferred to
any Purchasing Obligee which is organized under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof,
the Company will not be required to pay any increased
withholding taxes of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof unless, prior to the date of transfer, the
transferor Obligee shall cause such Purchasing Obligee to
comply with the requirements of Section 2.7.
(h) [intentionally omitted]
(i) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Obligee which
is a bank from pledging or assigning any Secured Instrument to
any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 10.6, no holder of a Secured Instrument shall
-89-
transfer such Secured Instrument in a manner which would
violate any Requirement of Law.
(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 10.6, the initial Obligee hereunder agrees not to
sell or assign the Secured Instrument prior to the earliest of
(a) the second anniversary of the Issuance Date, (b) the
occurrence of an Event of Default and (c) a Negative
Shareholder Vote.
10.7 Adjustments; Setoff.
(a) If at any time when there is more than one
Obligee any Obligee (a "Benefitted Obligee") shall at any time
receive any payment of all or part of its Secured
Instrument(s), or interest thereon, or receive any collateral
in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by
setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in Section 8.1(i), or otherwise), in a greater
proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by,
any other Obligee, if any, in respect of such other Obligee's
Secured Instrument(s), or interest thereon, or fees due to it
hereunder, such Benefitted Obligee shall purchase for cash from
the other Obligee such portion of each such other Obligee's
Secured Instrument(s), or make such payment on account of such
fees, or shall provide such other Obligee with the benefits of
any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefitted Obligee to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with
each of the Obligees; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Benefitted Obligee, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Company
agrees, that each Obligee purchasing a portion of another
Obligee's Secured Instrument(s) owing to it may exercise all
rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of
setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
Obligee were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Obligee provided by law, each Obligee shall have the right,
without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being ex-
pressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by ap-
plicable law, upon any Secured Obligations becoming due
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provi-
sional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, in-
debtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
-90-
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unma-
tured, at any time held or owing by such Obligee to or for the
credit or the account of the Company. Each Obligee agrees
promptly to notify the Company and each other Obligee after any
such setoff and application made by such the Obligee, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the va-
lidity of such setoff and application.
10.8 Appointment of the Obligee as the Company's Lawful
Attorney. The Company irrevocably designates, makes, consti-
tutes and appoints the Obligee (and all Persons designated by
the Obligee) as the Company's true and lawful attorney (and
agent-in-fact) coupled with an interest, with the power to sign
the name of the Company on any instruments, documents and
agreements, including, without limitation, security agreements,
pledge agreements, mortgages, and financing statements, as
deemed by the Obligee as necessary or reasonably required by
the Obligee to grant, perfect, maintain and continue the Liens
in the Collateral or to monitor or administer the Secured
Instrument, together with any and all amendments, modifica-
tions, extensions, substitutions and renewals thereof and de-
liver any of such instruments, documents and agreements to such
persons as the Obligee, in its sole discretion, may elect, and
in such event copies thereof shall be delivered to the Company.
10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one
or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of sepa-
rate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together
shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A
set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties
shall be lodged with the Company and the Obligee.
10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the re-
maining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unen-
forceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the
other Transaction Documents represents the entire agreement of
the Company, Collateral Agent and the Obligee and supersedes
all prior agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
warranties by Collateral Agent or the Obligee relative to
subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to
herein or in the other Transaction Documents.

other Transaction Documents. The Obligee may disclose such in-
formation (a) at the request of any regulatory authority or in
connection with an examination of the Obligee by any such au-
thority; (b) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (c)
when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any

10.17 Controlling Agreement. In the event of any con-
flict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the terms and conditions of any other Secured Instrument
Document, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall con-
trol.
SECTION 11. THE CO-MAKERS
11.1 Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section, the
following terms shall have the following meanings unless the
context otherwise requires:
"payment in full," "paid in full" or any similar
term means payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations
including all redemption or repurchase obligations, principal,
dividends, interest, costs, fees and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) of
Obligee and Collateral Agent as required under the Transaction
Documents.
11.2 All Co-Makers Liable. Subject to the provisions of
subsection 11.3, all Co-Makers are jointly and severally irre-
vocably and unconditionally liable, as primary obligors and not
merely as sureties, for the due and punctual payment in full of
the Secured Obligations when the same shall become due, whether
at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, accel-
eration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would be-
come due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Sec-
tion 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a)).
-94-
11.3 Limitation on Obligations of Subsidiaries;
Contribution among Subsidiaries.
(a) Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary
hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal
to the largest amount that would not render its obligations
hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States
Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law
(collectively, the "Fraudulent Transfer Laws"), in each case
after giving effect to all other liabilities of such
Subsidiary, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under
the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however,
any liabilities of such Subsidiary (i) in respect of
intercompany indebtedness to Company or other affiliates of
Company to the extent that such indebtedness would be
discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such
Subsidiary hereunder and (ii) under any guaranty of
subordinated indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation
as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this
subsection 11.3(a), pursuant to which the liability of such
Subsidiary hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into
account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving
effect as assets to the value (as determined under the ap-
plicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any
rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or con-
tribution of such Subsidiary pursuant to applicable law or pur-
suant to any agreement.
(b) The Co-Makers under this Agreement and each
guarantor under any Subsidiary Guaranty together desire to
allocate among themselves (collectively, the "Contributing
Parties"), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations
arising under this Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranties.
Accordingly, if any payment or distribution is made on any date
by any Co-Maker under this Agreement or a guarantor under a
Subsidiary Guaranty (a "Funding Party") that exceeds its Fair
Share (as defined below) as of such date, that Funding Party
shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other
Contributing Parties in the amount of such Contributing Party's
Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below) as of such date, with
the result that all such contributions will cause each
Contributing Party's Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to
equal its Fair Share as of such date. "Fair Share" means, with
respect to a Contributing Party as of any date of
determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the
Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such
Contributing Party to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum
Amounts with respect to all Contributing Parties, multiplied by
-95-
(ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such
date by all Funding Parties under this Agreement and the
Subsidiary Guaranties in respect of the Secured Obligations.
"Fair Share Shortfall" means, with respect to a Contributing
Party as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of
the Fair Share of such Contributing Party over the Aggregate
Payments of such Contributing Party. "Adjusted Maximum Amount"
means, with respect to a Contributing Party as of any date of
determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations
of such Contributing Party under this Agreement and the
Subsidiary Guaranties, determined as of such date in accordance
with subsection 11.3(a) or, if applicable, a similar provision
in the Subsidiary Guaranties; provided that, solely for
purposes of calculating the Adjusted Maximum Amount with
respect to any Contributing Party for purposes of this
subsection 11.3(b), any assets or liabilities of such
Contributing Party arising by virtue of any rights to
subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to
or obligations of contribution hereunder or under any similar
provision in a Subsidiary Guaranty shall not be considered as
assets or liabilities of such Contributing Party. "Aggregate
Payments" means, with respect to a Contributing Party as of any
date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate
amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such
date by such Contributing Party in respect of this Agreement
and the Subsidiary Guaranties (including, without limitation,
in respect of this subsection 11.3(b) or any similar provision
contained in a Subsidiary Guaranty) minus (ii) the aggregate
amount of all payments received on or before such date by such
Contributing Party from the other Contributing Parties as
contributions under this subsection 11.3(b) or any similar
provision contained in any Subsidiary Guaranty. The amounts
payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of
the date on which the related payment or distribution is made
by the applicable Funding Party. The allocation among
Contributing Parties of their obligations as set forth in this
subsection 11.3(b) or any similar provision contained in a
Subsidiary Guaranty shall not be construed in any way to limit
the liability of any Contributing Party hereunder or under a
Subsidiary Guaranty or to entitle any Funding Party or
Contributing Party to fail or refuse to make a payment to
Obligee otherwise required hereunder or under a Subsidiary
Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the preceding
sentence, the failure of any Funding Party to receive a
contribution from Contributing Parties in the amount of their
respective Fair Share Shortfalls shall not excuse payment by it
of obligations to Obligee hereunder or under a Subsidiary
Guarantee or constitute a defense or offset to payment of such
obligations and no party shall pay its Fair Share Shortfall to
a Funding Party before Obligee has received payment of all sums
-96-
due to it from such party. Each Contributing Party under a
Subsidiary Guaranty is a third-party beneficiary to the
contribution agreement set forth in this subsection 11.3(b).
The obligations of any party under a Subsidiary Guaranty are
not secured by any Mortgages made by the Co-Makers and recorded
in Florida, which Mortgages secure the direct obligations of
the Co-Makers rather than guaranties of the obligations of
others.
11.4 Liability of Co-Makers Absolute. Each Co-Maker
agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, abso-
lute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable dis-
charge of a co-maker other than indefeasible payment in full of
the Secured Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and
without limiting the generality thereof, each Co-Maker agrees
as follows:
(a) The obligation of each Co-Maker is independent,
primary and original, and not dependent upon failure of Obligee
to collect from any other Co-Maker.
(b) Obligee may enforce this Agreement against the
Subsidiaries notwithstanding the existence of any dispute be-
tween Obligee and Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the
existence of an Event of Default.
(c) The obligations of each Subsidiary hereunder
are independent of the obligations of Company under the Trans-
action Documents and the obligations of any other Co-Maker or
any guarantor, and a separate action or actions may be brought
and prosecuted against such Subsidiary whether or not any ac-
tion is brought against Company or any of such other Co-Makers
or guarantor and whether or not Company is joined in any such
action or actions.
(d) Payment by any Co-Maker of a portion, but not
all, of the Secured Obligations shall in no way limit, affect,
modify or abridge any other Co-Maker's liability for any por-
tion of the Secured Obligations which has not been paid. With-
out limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Obligee is
awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Co-
Maker's covenant to pay a portion of the Secured Obligations,
such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Co-Maker from
its covenant to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations that
is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not,
except to the extent satisfied by such Co-Maker, limit, affect,
modify or abridge any other Co-Maker's liability hereunder in
respect of the Secured Obligations.
-97-
(e) Obligee, upon such terms as it deems appropri-
ate, without notice or demand and without affecting the valid-
ity or enforceability of this Agreement or giving rise to any
reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of
any Co-Maker's liability hereunder, from time to time may (i)
renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or
otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of
the Secured Obligations, (ii) settle, compromise, release or
discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with
respect to, or substitutions for, the Secured Obligations or
any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment
of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) re-
quest and accept guaranties of the Secured Obligations and take
and hold security for the payment of this Agreement or the Se-
cured Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substi-
tute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or
modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment
of the Secured Obligations, any guaranties of the Secured Obli-
gations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any
other Co-Maker) with respect to the Secured Obligations; (v)
enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for
the benefit of Obligee in respect of this Agreement or the Se-
cured Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Obligee may
have against any such security, as Obligee in its discretion
may determine consistent with this Agreement and any applicable
security agreement or mortgage, including foreclosure on any
such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial
sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commer-
cially reasonable, and even though such action operates to im-
pair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
other right or remedy of any Co-Maker against any other Co-
Maker or any security for the Secured Obligations; and (vi)
exercise any other rights available to it under the Transaction
Documents.
(f) This Agreement and the obligations of the Co-
Makers hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not
be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge
or termination for any reason (other than indefeasible payment
in full of the Secured Obligations), including the occurrence
of any of the following, whether or not any Co-Maker shall have
had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or
omission to assert or enforce, or agreement or election not to
assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court,
by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforce-
ment of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy
(whether arising under the Transaction Documents, at law, in
equity or otherwise) with respect to the Secured Obligations or
any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty
-98-
of or security for the payment of the Secured Obligations; (ii)
any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (in-
cluding provisions relating to events of default) of this
Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any agree-
ment or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guar-
anty or security for the Secured Obligations, in each case
whether or not in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or
such Transaction Document or any agreement relating to such
guaranty or security; (iii) the Secured Obligations, or any
agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be il-
legal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the ap-
plication of payments received from any source (other than pay-
ments received pursuant to the other Transaction Documents or
from the proceeds of any security for the Secured Obligations,
except to the extent such security also serves as collateral
for indebtedness other than the Secured Obligations) to the
payment of indebtedness other than the Secured Obligations,
even though Obligee might have elected to apply such payment to
any part or all of the Secured Obligations; (v) Obligee's con-
sent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corpo-
rate structure or existence of Company or any of its Subsidiar-
ies and to any corresponding restructuring of the Secured Obli-
gations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of
a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the
Secured Obligations; (vii) any defenses, setoffs or counter-
claims which any Co-Maker may allege or assert against Obligee
in respect of the Secured Obligations, including failure of
consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds,
statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and
(viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any
other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of any Co-Maker as an obligor in respect
of the Secured Obligations.
11.5 Waivers by Co-Maker. Each Co-Maker hereby waives,
for the benefit of Obligee:
(a) any right to require Obligee, as a condition of
payment or performance by such Co-Maker, to (i) proceed against
Company, any Subsidiary or any guarantor of the Secured
Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or
exhaust any security held from Company, any other Subsidiary or
any guarantor of the Secured Obligations or any other Person,
(iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any
deposit account or credit on the books of Obligee in favor of
Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in
the power of Obligee whatsoever;
-99-
(b) any defense arising by reason of the incapac-
ity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of
any Co-Maker including any defense based on or arising out of
the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Secured
Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or
by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Co-Maker
from any cause other than indefeasible payment in full of the
Secured Obligations;
(c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of
law which provides that the obligation of a co-maker must be
neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome
than that of any other obligor;
(d) any defense based upon Xxxxxxx's errors or
omissions in the administration of the Secured Obligations,
except behavior which amounts to bad faith;
(e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statu-
tory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the
terms of this Agreement or which result or might result in any
legal or equitable discharge of such Co-Maker's obligations
hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations af-
fecting such Co-Maker's liability hereunder or the enforcement
hereof, (iii) any rights to setoffs, recoupments and counter-
claims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that
Obligee protect, secure, perfect or insure any security
interest or lien or any property subject thereto;
(f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, no-
tices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action
or inaction, including acceptance of this Agreement, notices of
default under this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modifica-
tion of the Secured Obligations or any agreement related
thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any other Co-
Maker and notices of any of the matters referred to in subsec-
tion 11.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and
(g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived
from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exoner-
ate co-makers, guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict
with the terms of this Agreement.
11.6 Payment by Subsidiaries; Application of Payments.
Subject to the provisions of subsection 11.3(a), the Subsidiar-
ies hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which
Obligee or any other Person may have at law or in equity
against any Subsidiary by virtue hereof, that upon the failure
-100-
of Company to pay any of the Secured Obligations when and as
the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by
required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or
otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the
operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a)), the Subsidiaries
will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Obligee,
an amount equal to all Secured Obligations then due as
aforesaid, including accrued and unpaid interest on such
Secured Obligations (including interest which, but for the
filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Company,
would have accrued on such Secured Obligations, whether or not
a claim is allowed against Company for such interest in any
such bankruptcy proceeding) and all other Secured Obligations
then owed to Obligee as aforesaid. All such payments shall be
applied promptly from time to time by Obligee in accordance
with this Agreement.
11.7 Co-Makers' Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.
Each Co-Maker hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct
or indirect, that such Co-Maker now has or may hereafter have
against any other Co-Maker or any of its assets in connection
with this Agreement or the performance by such Co-Maker of its
obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right
or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under
common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a)
any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that
such Co-Maker now has or may hereafter have against Company,
(b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim,
right or remedy that Obligee now has or may hereafter have
against any other Co-Maker, and (c) any benefit of, and any
right to participate in, any collateral or security now or
hereafter held by Obligee. In addition, until the Secured
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Co-
Maker shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such
Co-Maker may have against any guarantor of the Secured Obliga-
tions (including any such right of contribution under any guar-
anty). Each Co-Maker further agrees that, to the extent the
waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as
set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subroga-
tion, reimbursement or indemnification such Co-Maker may have
against any other Co-Maker or against any collateral or secu-
rity, and any rights of contribution such Co-Maker may have
against any such guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to
any rights Obligee may have against Company and the other Co-
Makers, to all right, title and interest Obligee may have in
any such collateral or security, and to any right Obligee may
have against such guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to
-101-
any Co-Maker on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all
Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held in trust for Obligee and shall forthwith
be paid over to Obligee to be credited and applied against the
Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms hereof.
11.8 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any indebted-
ness of any Co-Maker now or hereafter held by any other Co--
Maker is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the obliga-
tions of such indebted Co-Maker in respect of the Secured Obli-
gations, and any such indebtedness of a Co-Maker to another Co-
Maker collected or received by such other Co-Maker after an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held
in trust for Obligee and shall forthwith be paid over to
Obligee to be credited and applied against the Secured
Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any
manner the liability of any Co-Maker under any other provision
of this Agreement.
11.9 Expenses. Co-Makers jointly and severally agree to
pay, or cause to be paid, on demand, and to save Obligee harm-
less against liability for, any and all costs and expenses (in-
cluding reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and al-
located costs of internal counsel) incurred or expended by
Obligee in connection with the enforcement of, or preservation
of any rights under, this Agreement.
11.10 Continuing Agreement. This Agreement shall remain
in effect as against each Co-Maker until all of the Secured
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. Each
Co-Maker hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
Agreement as to future transactions giving rise to any Secured
Obligations.
11.11 Authority of the Co-Makers. It is not necessary
for Obligee to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Co-
Maker or the officers, directors or any agents acting or pur-
porting to act on behalf of any of them.
11.12 Financial Condition of the Company. Any Secured
Obligations may be incurred by Company or continued from time
to time without notice to or authorization from any Subsidiary
regardless of the financial or other condition of Company at
the time of any such grant or continuation. The Obligee shall
have no obligation to disclose or discuss with any Subsidiary
its assessment, or any Subsidiary's assessment, of the xxxxx-
cial condition of Company. Each Subsidiary has adequate means
-102-
to obtain information from Company on a continuing basis con-
cerning the financial condition of Company and its ability to
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and
each Subsidiary assumes the responsibility for being and keep-
ing informed of the financial condition of Company and of all
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Se-
cured Obligations. Each Subsidiary hereby waives and relin-
quishes any duty on the part of Obligee to disclose any matter,
fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condi-
tions of Company now known or hereafter known by lender.
11.13 Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies
given to Obligee by this Agreement are cumulative and shall be
in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and rem-
edies given to Obligee by virtue of any statute or rule of law
or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any agreement
between any Subsidiary and Obligee or between Company and
Obligee. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay
by Obligee in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be con-
strued to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the fur-
ther exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
11.14 Bankruptcy; Post-Petition Interest; Reinstatement
of Agreement.
(a) So long as any Secured Obligations remain out-
standing, no Co-Maker shall, without the prior written consent
of Obligee in accordance with the Agreement, commence or join
with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganiza-
tion or insolvency proceedings of or against any other Co-
Maker. The obligations of the Co-Makers under this Agreement
shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred,
suspended or terminated by any proceeding, voluntary or invol-
untary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any other or by
any defense which any other Co-Maker may have by reason of the
order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body
resulting from any such proceeding.
(b) Each Co-Maker acknowledges and agrees that any
interest on any portion of the Secured Obligations which ac-
crues after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in
clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Secured
Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of
the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would
have accrued on such portion of the Secured Obligations if said
proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in the
Secured Obligations because it is the intention of Co-Makers
and Obligee that the Secured Obligations of each Co-Maker
-103-
pursuant to this Agreement should be determined without regard
to any rule of law or order which may relieve any other Co-
Maker of any portion of such Secured Obligations. The Co-
Makers will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor
in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar
person to pay Obligee, or allow the claim of Obligee in respect
of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such
proceeding is commenced.
(c) If all or any portion of the Secured Obliga-
tions is paid by any Co-Maker, the obligations of the other Co-
Makers hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and
effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that
all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered
directly or indirectly from Obligee as a preference, fraudulent
transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so re-
scinded or recovered shall constitute Secured Obligations for
all purposes under this Agreement.
11.15 Setoff. In addition to any other rights Obligee may
have under law or in equity, if any amount shall at any time be
due and owing by any Co-Maker to Obligee under this Agreement,
Obligee is authorized at any time or from time to time, without
notice (any such notice being hereby expressly waived), to set
off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (gen-
eral or special, including but not limited to indebtedness evi-
denced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unma-
tured) and any other indebtedness of Obligee owing to such Co-
Maker and any other property of such Co-Maker held by Obligee
to or for the credit or the account of such Co-Maker against
and on account of the Secured Obligations and liabilities of
such Co-Maker to Obligee under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not apply to Excluded
Property and the restricted Bank Accounts identified in
Schedule 7.17 of this Agreement.
SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Acknowledgment Regarding Certain Environmental Obli-
gations. Each Subsidiary hereby acknowledges and agrees that
the Secured Obligations includes Company's obligation under
this Agreement to comply with the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and all other
Environmental Laws and to indemnify and hold harmless Obligee
and Collateral Agent from and against any and all liability
arising out of, or in connection with the presence of Hazardous
Materials at any property of Company or any Subsidiary given as
security for the Secured Obligations, and each Subsidiary
hereby expressly undertakes as Co-Maker the payment,
-104-
performance and discharge of such obligations and liabilities
of Company.
