2. SECURITY INTEREST. Debtor has and will have at all times full right,
power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to the

shall, upon the request of
Lenders or Agent (at Lender's direction), notify such warehouseman, bailee,
agent or processor of Secured Parties' rights hereunder and instruct such
Person to hold all such Collateral for Secured Parties' account subject to
Lenders' or Agent's (at Lenders' direction) instructions. (No such request by
Lenders or Agent (at Lender's direction) shall be deemed a waiver of any
provision hereof which was otherwise violated by such Collateral being held
by such Person prior to such instructions by Debtor.)
(e) COLLECTION. Lenders or Agent (at Lender's direction) shall have the
right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default
or an Event of Default, to notify (or to require Debtor to notify) any and all
obligors under any Receivables, General Intangibles, Instruments, or other
rights to payment included among the Collateral of the assignment thereof to the
Secured Parties under this Agreement and to direct such obligors to make payment
of all amounts due or to become due to Debtor thereunder directly to Agent and,
upon such notification and at the expense of Debtor and to the extent permitted
by law, to enforce collection of any such Receivables, General Intangibles,
Instruments, or other rights to payment and to adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Debtor
could have done. After Debtor receives notice that either of Lenders or Agent
(at Lenders' direction) has given (and after either of Lenders or Agent (at
Lenders' direction) has required Debtor to give) any notice referred to above in
this subsection:
(i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and
writings) received by Debtor in respect of such Receivables, General
Intangibles, Instruments, or other rights to payment shall be received
in trust for the benefit of Secured Parties hereunder, shall be
segregated from other funds of Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over
to Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement) to be, at Majority Lender's discretion, either (A) held as

and Events of Default, or (B) while any Event of Default is continuing,
applied as specified in Section 4.3, and
(ii) Debtor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount
or payment of any such Receivable, General Intangible, Instrument, or
other right to payment or release wholly or partly any account debtor
or obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon.

Default, Lenders or Lenders Agent (at Lenders' direction), in Lenders'
discretion, shall establish a cash collateral account (the "COLLATERAL ACCOUNT")
in the name of Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, into which there shall be
deposited from time to time the cash proceeds received pursuant to the required
to be delivered to Secured Parties pursuant to the following subsections of this
Section 4.1 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other
Obligation Document. Debtor and Secured Parties shall deal with the Collateral
Account as follows:
(i) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall either
remain on deposit therein or be invested and re-invested from time to
time in such Liquid Investments as
Debtor (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lenders) shall determine, which Liquid Investments shall
be held in the name and be under the control of Agent, for the benefit
of Lenders, until liquidated and applied as provided in the following
subsection (iii). Any income received by Agent with respect to the
balance from time to time standing to the credit of the Collateral
Account, including any interest on or proceeds of Liquid Investments,
shall also remain, or be deposited, in the Collateral Account. All
right, title and interest in and to the amounts on deposit from time
to time in the Collateral Account, together with any Liquid Investments
from time to time made pursuant to this section shall vest in Agent,
for the benefit of Lenders, shall constitute part of the Collateral
hereunder, and shall not constitute payment of the Secured Obligations
until applied thereto as herein provided.
(ii) At any time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the outstanding balance in the Collateral
Account shall be distributed to Debtor upon the order of Debtor. If
immediately available cash on deposit in the Collateral Account is not
sufficient to make any such distribution to Debtor, Agent shall
liquidate as promptly as practicable Liquid Investments as required to
obtain sufficient cash to make such distribution and, notwithstanding
any other provision of this section, such distribution shall not be
made until such liquidation has taken place; after such liquidation,
such distribution shall be made promptly. During the continuation of a
Default or an Event of Default, Agent, at Lenders' direction and
discretion, either (A) continue to hold the balance of the Collateral
Account and all Liquid Investments as Collateral, or (B) while any
Event of Default is continuing, apply any or all of the balance from
time to time standing to the credit of the Collateral Account (subject
to collection) as specified in Section 4.3 and liquidate any or all
Liquid Investments and apply the proceeds thereof as specified in
Section 4.3.
(iii) As used in this section, "LIQUID INVESTMENT" means any
investment in the name of Agent (but at the direction and discretion of
Lenders), for the benefit of Lenders (and, in the opinion of counsel to
Secured Parties, appropriately subject to a perfected PARRI PASSU
security interest in favor of Secured Parties) which matures within one
month after it is acquired by Agent and is either (A) a certificate of
deposit or time deposit issued by Agent or (B) an obligation entitled
to the full faith and credit of the United States which is in
book-entry form and subject to pledge under applicable state law and
Treasury regulations.
1. Section 4. EVENT OF DEFAULT REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Lenders and Agent (at Lenders' direction) may from
time to time, in Lenders' discretion, without notice except as expressly
provided below:

and upon request of Lenders or Agent (at Lenders' direction) forthwith, assemble
all or part of the Collateral as directed by Lenders or Agent (at Lenders'

Debtor relating thereto) available to Agent at a place to be designated by
Lenders or Agent (at Lenders' direction) which is reasonably convenient and
commercially reasonable to both parties;
(i) prior to the disposition of any Collateral, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the

Collateral from such premises, have access to and use the Company's books,
records, and information relating to the Collateral, and store or transfer any
of the Collateral without charge in or by means of any storage or transportation
facility owned or leased by Debtor, process, repair or recondition any of the

enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest created hereby by any
available judicial procedure;
(d) dispose of, on the premises of Debtor or elsewhere, all or any part of
the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and
by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of
the Collateral shall not exhaust Secured Parties' power of sale, but sales may
be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been
sold or until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and
at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;
(e) buy (or allow any one or more Lenders to buy) the Collateral, or any
part thereof, at any public sale;
(f) buy (or allow any one or more Lenders to buy) the Collateral, or any
part thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily
sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely
distributed standard price quotations; and
(g) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver
for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Debtor hereby consents to any such
appointment.
(h)Debtor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law, at least ten (10) days' notice to Debtor of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. Secured Parties and Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. Agent (at Lenders' direction) may adjourn any public or private sale
from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such
sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
so adjourned.
3. Section 4. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Lenders or Agent (at Lenders' direction) may in
their or its discretion apply any cash held by Agent or any Secured Party as
Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Agent or any Secured Party in

part of the Collateral, to any or all of the following in such order as Agent
(at Lenders' direction) may elect:
4. To the repayment of the reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, incurred by Agent or any Secured

collection or realization of or upon Collateral by Secured Parties are
insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations and any other amounts to which
Secured Parties are legally entitled, Debtor shall be liable for the deficiency,
together with interest thereon as provided in the governing Obligation Documents
or (if no interest is so provided) at such other rate as shall be fixed by
applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees of
any attorneys employed by Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.

ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES AND LIABILITIES GROWING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THIS
AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT), WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CLAIMS,
LOSSES AND LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT CAUSED BY OR ARISING OUT
OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S OWN NEGLIGENCE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIMS,
LOSSES OR LIABILITIES ARE PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S
INDIVIDUAL GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
(b). Debtor will upon demand pay to such Secured Party and Agent the amount

Agreement, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured
Parties hereunder; or (iii) the failure by Debtor to perform or observe any of

power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial
hearing, Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal
right which might otherwise require Secured Parties to enforce their rights by
judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Debtor recognizes
and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are
responsive to commercial necessity, and are the result of a bargain at arm's
length. Nothing herein is intended, however, to prevent Secured Parties from
resorting to judicial process at their option.
5. Section 4. LIMITATION ON DUTY OF SECURED PARTY IN RESPECT OF
COLLATERAL. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Agent
and Secured Parties shall have no duty as to any Collateral in their possession
or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to the
preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
thereto. Each Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody of the Collateral in its or Agent's or any other agent's or bailee's
possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which it accords its own property, and shall not be liable or responsible for
any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value
thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier,
forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by Secured
Parties or Majority Lenders in good faith.
6. Section 4. APPOINTMENT OF COLLATERAL AGENTS. Any Agent appointed by
Lenders shall have such power and authority as may be necessary for the

instrument of appointment. In so doing Lenders may, in the name and on behalf of
Debtor, give to such Agent indemnities and other protections similar to those
provided in Section 4.5.
