waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies, including, without limitation,
any other rights of set-off (which set-off rights may be exercised only after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). If any of
the Obligations are given in renewal, extension for any period or rearrangement,

Obligor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy
which Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Obligor or
other Person.

any period of any instrument executed by any Obligor in connection with the
Obligations and (ii) any defense of any Obligor by reason of disability, lack of
authorization, cessation of the liability of any Obligor or for any other
reason. Debtor authorizes Secured Party, without notice or demand and without
any reservation of rights against Debtor and without affecting Debtor's
liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time to (x) after the

actions without notice (except where expressly required below or in the
Indenture) or demand to Debtor:
(a) Take possession of the Collateral and sell or otherwise dispose
of any or all of the Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner as
Secured Party may elect, in a public or private transaction, at any
location as deemed reasonable by Secured Party (including, without
limitation, Debtor's premises), for cash at such price as Secured Party may
deem fair, and (unless prohibited by the Code, as adopted in any applicable
7
jurisdiction) Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all Collateral
so sold and may apply upon the purchase price therefor any Obligations
secured hereby. Any such sale or transfer by Secured Party either to
itself or to any other Person shall be absolutely free from any claim of
right by Debtor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or
appraisal which Debtor has or may have under any rule of law, regulation or
statute now existing or hereafter adopted. Upon any such sale or transfer,
Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the
purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred.
Secured Party may, at its discretion, provide for a public sale, and any
such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary
business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may fix in the
notice of such sale. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale
pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale by announcement at any time
and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same may be so adjourned. In the event any sale or
transfer hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of
Secured Party, such sale or transfer shall not exhaust the rights of
Secured Party hereunder, and Secured Party shall have the right to cause
one or more subsequent sales or transfers to be made hereunder. If only
part of the Collateral is sold or transferred such that the Obligations
remain outstanding (in whole or in part), Secured Party's rights and
remedies hereunder shall not be exhausted, waived or modified, and Secured
Party is specifically empowered to make one or more successive sales or
transfers until all the Collateral shall be sold or transferred and all the
Obligations are paid. In the event that Secured Party elects not to sell
the Collateral, Secured Party retains its rights to dispose of or utilize
the Collateral or any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or
permitted by law or in equity, and to apply the proceeds of the same
towards payment of the Obligations. Each and every method of disposition
of the Collateral described in this subsection or in subsection (a) shall
constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.
(b) Take possession of all books and records of Debtor pertaining to
the Collateral. Secured Party shall have the authority to enter upon any
real property or improvements thereon in order to obtain any such books or
records, or any Collateral located thereon, and remove the same therefrom
without liability.
(c) Apply proceeds of the disposition of the Collateral to the
Obligations in any manner elected by Secured Party and permitted by the
Code or otherwise permitted by law or in equity and in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture. Such application may include, without
limitation, the reasonable expenses of preparing for sale or other
disposition, and the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred
by Secured Party.
(d) Appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts necessary
or incident to any sale or transfer by Secured Party of the Collateral.
Additionally, any sale or transfer hereunder may be conducted by an
auctioneer or any officer or agent of Secured Party.

for the payment of money or other evidences of payment for any form of
Collateral on behalf of and in the name of Debtor.
(f) Require all payments received by Debtor under or in
connection with the Management Agreement or otherwise in respect of the
Collateral to be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party,
segregated from other funds of Debtor, and require that such funds
forthwith be paid over to Secured Party in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement).
(g) Exercise all other rights and remedies permitted by law or
in equity.
Section 6.03. Attorney- in -Fact. Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints
------------------
Secured Party as Debtor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, from time to time in
Secured Party's discretion upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, but at Debtor's cost and expense and without notice to Debtor:
(a) To obtain, adjust, sell and cancel any insurance with
respect to the Collateral, and endorse any draft drawn by insurers of the
Collateral. Secured Party may apply any proceeds or unearned premiums of
such insurance to the Obligations (whether or not due).
(b) To take any action and to execute any assignment,
certificate, financing statement, notification, document or instrument
which Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to Debtor
representing any payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral
or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
Section 6.04. Liability for Deficiency. If any sale or other disposition
------------------------
of Collateral by Secured Party or any other action of Secured Party hereunder
results in reduction of the Obligations, such action will not release Debtor
from its liability to Secured Party for any unpaid Obligations, including costs,
charges and expenses incurred in the liquidation of Collateral, together with
interest thereon, and the same shall be immediately due and payable to Secured
Party at Secured Party's address set forth in the Indenture.
Section 6.05. Reasonable Notice. If any applicable provision of any law
-----------------
requires Secured Party to give reasonable notice of any sale or disposition or
other action, Debtor hereby agrees that ten days' prior written notice shall
constitute reasonable notice thereof. Such notice, in the case of public sale,
shall state the time and place fixed for such sale and in the case of private
sale, the time after which such sale is to be made.
Section 6.06. Non-judicial Enforcement. Secured Party may enforce its
------------------------
rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and to the
extent permitted by law Debtor expressly waives any and all legal rights which
might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process.

force and effect until payment in full of (A) the Notes under the terms of the
Indenture, (B) all obligations then due and owing under the Indenture, the Notes
and the Collateral Documents and (C) all other Obligations; provided, however,
-------- -------
that after receipt from the Debtor by the Trustee of a request for a release of
any Collateral permitted under the Indenture upon the sale, transfer,
assignment, exchange or other disposition of such Collateral not prohibited by
the Indenture (and upon receipt by the Trustee of all proceeds of such sale,
transfer, assignment, exchange or other disposition to the extent required to be
remitted to the Trustee under the Indenture or otherwise), such Collateral shall
be released from the lien and security interest created hereunder in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture and shall-no longer constitute Collateral.
Upon the payment in full of (A) the Notes under the terms of the Indenture (B)
all obligations then due and owing under the Indenture and the Collateral
Documents, and (C) all other Obligations, the Debtor shall be entitled to the
return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the Collateral pledged
by it as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reimbursement and indemnification
provisions of Section 4.05 and the provisions of subsection 7.08(b) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
Upon any termination of this Agreement or release of any Collateral as
permitted by the Indenture the Trustee will, at the expense of the Debtor,
execute and deliver to the Debtor such documents and take such other actions as
the Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of this
Agreement or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be. Any such
action taken by the Trustee shall be without warranty by or recourse to the
Trustee, except as to the absence of any prior assignments by the Trustee of its
interests in the Collateral, and shall be at the expense of the Debtor. The
Trustee may conclusively rely on any certificate delivered to it by the Debtor
stating that the execution of such documents and release of the Collateral is in
accordance with and permitted by the terms of the Indenture and this Agreement.

Section 7.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed
---------------------------
in two or more counterparts. Each counterpart is deemed an original, but all
such counterparts taken together constitute one and the same instrument. This
Agreement becomes effective upon the execution hereof by Debtor and delivery of
the same to Secured Party, and it is not necessary for Secured Party to execute
any acceptance hereof or otherwise signify or express its acceptance hereof.
Section 7.11. Indenture. This Agreement is subject to the terms,
---------
conditions and provisions of the Indenture. To the extent a term or provision
of this Agreement conflicts with the Indenture, the Indenture shall control with
respect to the subject matter of such term or provision.
Section 7.12. Rights of Noteholders. No Holder of a Note shall have any
---------------------
independent rights hereunder other than those rights granted to individual
Holders of Notes pursuant to the Indenture; provided that nothing in this
Section 7.12 shall limit any rights granted to the Trustee under the Notes, the
Indenture or the Collateral Documents.
Section 7.13. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and
-----------------------------------------------------------
Stockholders. No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
------------
incorporator or stockholder of the Debtor as such or any successor Person, as
such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Debtor under the
Notes, the Collateral Documents, this Agreement or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Section 7.14. Fraudulent Conveyance Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any
------------------------------------
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that neither this
Agreement nor any Lien granted by Debtor to secure the Obligations shall
constitute a "Fraudulent Conveyance" (as defined below). Consequently, Debtor
agrees that if the Agreement or any Liens securing this Agreement, would, but
for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this
Agreement and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum
extent that would not cause this Agreement or such Lien to constitute a
Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have
been amended accordingly at all relevant times. For purposes hereof, a
"Fraudulent Conveyance" means a fraudulent conveyance under Xxxxxxx 000 xx Xxxxx
00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, as amended (or any successor section) or a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state,
nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.
