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

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

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

Agreement, the payment of all reasonable expenses incurred by any
Secured Party in connection with such sale, including, but not
limited to, the expenses of taking, advertising, processing,
preparing and storing the Collateral to be sold, all court costs
and the Secured Party's reasonable legal fees in connection
therewith, and to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses
paid or incurred by the Secured Party in connection with this
Agreement or the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, to the
extent that such advances, costs and expenses shall not have been
paid to the Secured Party upon the Secured Party's demand to the
Debtor therefor; provided, however, that in the event there are
insufficient funds available to repay all of these expenses, the
available funds shall be allocated to the relevant Secured Party
in proportion to their relative expenditures; and
SECOND: to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest due and
owing on the Note and then to unpaid principal on the Note;
THIRD: to the payment of any other outstanding amounts under the
Note and this Agreement; and
any surplus, if any remaining, to be paid over to the Debtor, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct. Any requirement of reasonable notice imposed
by law shall be deemed met if such notice is in writing and is sent to the
Debtor in accordance with Section 17 hereof at least ten (10) days prior to the
sale, disposition or other event giving rise to such notice requirement.

notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement and the Note, notice of
credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in

Secured Party shall not have any duty as to the collection or protection of
rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights
pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.
Section 8. Remedies Cumulative. (a) No remedy conferred upon or
reserved to the Secured Party hereunder is or shall be deemed to be exclusive of
any other available remedy or remedies. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Secured
Party and each of them shall have the right to exercise
any available remedy to recover any amount due and payable hereunder without
regard to whether any other amount is due and payable, and without prejudice
to the Secured Party to exercise any available remedy hereunder or otherwise,
for other Events of Defaults existing at the time the earlier action was
commenced.
(b) Any delay, omission or failure by the Secured Party to insist upon
the strict performance by the Debtor of any of the covenants, conditions and
agreements herein set forth or to exercise any right or remedy available to it
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, shall not
impair any such right or remedy or be considered or taken as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future the right to insist upon and to enforce, by
injunction or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, strict compliance
by the Debtor with all of the covenants, conditions and agreements herein or
otherwise, or of the right to exercise any such rights or remedies if such
default by the Debtor be continued or repeated.
Section 9. No Waiver. Failure by the Secured Party to exercise any
right or remedy under this Agreement, under any other agreement between the
Secured Party and the Debtor, including the Note and the Intercreditor
Agreement, or delay by the Secured Party in exercising the same, will not
operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver of any such right or remedy by the
Secured Party will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
Secured Party.
Section 10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure
to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Secured Party and to any
subsequent holders of any of the Liabilities. The term "Debtor" shall be deemed

the Secured Party, execute any financing statement submitted to it by such party
with respect to its interest in the Collateral. The Debtor hereby authorizes, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party to prepare and file
UCC-1, UCC-3 and other financing statements as may be deemed by the Secured
Party to be reasonably necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of its
interest in the Collateral and any amendments thereto or continuations thereof
without the signature of the Debtor.
Section 13. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as
the Liabilities have been paid in full and all Debtors obligations hereunder
have been performed; provided, however, that if, at any time, all or part of any
payment of the Liabilities theretofore made by the Debtor or any other Person is
rescinded or otherwise must be returned by the Secured Party for any reason
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Debtor or any other Person),
this Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the
case may be, as to the Liabilities which were satisfied by the payment to be
rescinded or returned, all as though such payment had not been made. Upon the
termination of this Agreement, the Secured Party shall deliver any appropriate
UCC-3 termination statements to the Debtor.
Section 14. Further Assurances. The Debtor will promptly and duly
execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further documents, instruments,
writings and assurances and take such further action as the Secured Party may
from time to time reasonably request, in order to evidence, effectuate, perfect
or maintain the perfected security interest of the Secured Party in the
Collateral and to otherwise carry out more effectively the intent and purpose of
this Agreement and to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or
intended to be created in favor of the Secured Party hereunder.
Section 15. Interpretation. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
ruled invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such
provision shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof.

Debtor hereby appoints each of the Secured Party with full power of
substitution, as the Debtor's true lawful attorney-in-fact, and in the name and
on behalf of the Debtor and at the Debtor's expense, from time to time in the
Secured Party's discretion from and after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default to take any action and to execute any
instrument which any of the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to
perfect, protect or enforce any right or security interest hereunder or
otherwise accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, to execute and file alone any financing statement and any document
or instrument under any other applicable laws, and to receive, endorse and
collect all instruments made payable to the Debtor representing any dividend or
other distribution in respect of any of the Collateral and to give full
discharge for the same. The Debtor ratifies and approves all such acts of such
attorney and proxy. The Secured Party will not be liable for any acts or
omissions, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, other than
such Secured Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by
a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This
power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all Liabilities have
been paid in full.
Section 20. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and
agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and

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