with certain of their predecessors in interest, are parties to a Credit

revolving loan in the amount of $1,000,000 (the "PDGE Revolving Loan") to such
Debtor Parties. The PDGE Term Loan and PDGE Revolving Loan are sometimes
referred to herein as the "PDGE Loans." Effective August 12, 1994, Lender
extended to the Debtor Parties who are the borrowers in connection with the
PDGE Loans an additional $300,000 revolving credit under the PDGE Revolving
Loan subject to a requirement that such credit be cleared each fifteen (15)
days, such additional credit to be secured by the liens and security interests
granted in connection with the PDGE Loan Agreement (the "Additional PDGE
Advance"). The PDGE Loan Agreement, and all notes, other instruments and
documents evidencing the PDGE Loans or the security therefor, including all
documents described as "Loan Documents" in the PDGE Loan Agreement are referred
to herein as the "PDGE Loan Documents."
D. The Debtor Parties, as well as PDGE and Remediation as the guarantors of

"September 30, 1994 Loan Modification Agreement"), under which the Lender
agreed to permit up to $300,000 of credit otherwise available to PDGES (the
"New Advance") under the PDGES Loan Agreement to be transferred to the PDGE
Loan Agreement and made available under the terms of the PDGE Revolving Loan,
to increase the maximum amount of the PDGE Revolving Loan to $1,600,000 to
accommodate such credit and the Additional PDGE Advance, and to amend and
modify the Integra Loan Documents, PDGE Loan Documents and PDGES Loan
Documents.
E. The September 30, 1994 Loan Modification Agreement contemplated,
among other things, that the $300,000 Additional PDGE Advance would be repaid
by not later than December 1, 1994. At the request of certain of the Debtor
Parties, a second Loan Modification Agreement dated December 9, 1994 (the
"December 9,1994 Loan Modification Agreement") was entered into to provide that
such date be extended to not later than February 1, 1995.
- 2 -
11
F. Effective February 7, 1995, at the request of the Debtor Parties, a
third Loan Modification Agreement (the "February 7, 1995 Loan Modification
Agreement") was entered into by the Debtor Parties and Lender, under which the
PDGES Debtor Parties and certain of their assets in which Lender had been
granted security interests were released from any obligations under the PDGE
Loans and Integra Loans in order to permit the public offer and sale of
securities of Remediation and the refinancing of the PDGES Loan by Xxxxxxx Bank
of Central Florida, the unpaid balance of the Integra Term Loan was included in
the balance of the Integra Revolving Loan, and the maturity date for the
Integra Revolving Loan and the PDGE Revolving Loan, inclusive of the Additional
PDGE Advance, were extended to April 1, 1995.
G. On or about February 28, 1995, as contemplated by the February 7,
1995 Loan Modification Agreement, the PDGES Loan was repaid in full.
H. Each of the PDGE Debtor Parties has requested that the PDGE
Revolving Loan and Integra Revolving Loan be consolidated, amended and restated
and the maturity date thereof be extended to December 31, 1996, the maturity
date of the PDGE Term Loan be reset at December 31, 1996, and the interest
rates under such loans reduced as set forth in the Amended and Restated
Revolving Note and Amended and Restated Term Note (as defined herein) and that
Lender agree to forbear from exercising its remedies respecting the Events of
Default listed on Schedule "A" hereto (the existence of which are disputed by
the PDGE Debtor Parties), including the failure of the PDGE Debtor Parties to
pay the PDGE Revolving Loan and Integra Revolving Loan at their scheduled
maturity date of April 1, 1995, conditioned upon compliance by the PDGE Debtor
Parties with each of the provisions hereof, and has determined that Lender's
agreement to extend and modify such loans to undertake such waiver and
forbearance will substantially benefit such PDGE Debtor Party.
I. Lender is willing to consolidate and extend the maturity date of the
PDGE Revolving Loan and Integra Revolving Loan, reset the maturity date of the
PDGE Term Loan, reduce the interest rates thereon and to otherwise modify,
amend and restate the Loan Documents (as defined below), waive its rights with

calendar month.
2.1.3 LATE CHARGE; DEFAULT INTEREST. If any payment of principal
or interest is paid more than ten (10) days after when due, the Borrowers will
pay Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment. In
addition, after an Event of Default, default interest may be charged at a rate
of 5.0% in excess of the Note Rate.
2.1.4 FEES. The Lender shall be issued the New Warrant upon
execution of this Agreement, and such consideration shall be deemed to be
fully earned upon the execution hereof.

2.1.6 INCREASE IN INTEREST. If any amount of principal is not

2.1.7 PREPAYMENTS. Subject to Lender's conversion rights set
forth in paragraph 2.1.8(a) hereof, the Borrowers will have the right at
any time and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days
notice to Lender, to prepay all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance
of the Revolving Note without penalty, but with interest accrued to the date
of prepayment on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to provide
Lender with advance notice of any prepayment received by Lender on or prior
to January 31, 1996. In the event Lender exercises its rights to purchase
stock under the Warrant, all proceeds payable to the Borrowers for the
purchase of such stock shall be utilized to repay the Revolving Note or,
as provided in paragraph 2.5.5, the Term Note.
2.1.8 CONVERSION RIGHTS OF LENDER.
-13-
22
(a) CONVERSION PRICE; EXERCISE. At any time and from time to
time after January 31, 1996, Lender may convert all or any portion of the
outstanding principal balance, and accrued but unpaid interest, owing on the
Loans into shares of common stock of PDGE at the Conversion Price (as defined
below) at any time prior to the repayment in full of the Loans upon notice to
PDGE (a "Conversion Notice"). The "Conversion Price" shall be the lesser of (i)
the Market Price per share of PDGE common stock on January 31, 1996, and (ii)
the Market Price of PDGE common stock on the date of the Conversion Notice
("Conversion Date"), but not less than $0.65 per share. The Market Price on any
given date shall equal the average closing price for shares of PDGE for the
twenty (20) trading days preceding the date for which the determination is
being made (a "Price Determination Period") as reported on NASDAQ or any
securities exchange on which the PDGE common stock is then listed, or if no
such prices are available, the average trading price as reported by any NASD
member firm selected by Lender for such Price Determination Period. Lender
agrees not to purchase or sell shares of PDGE common stock during the Price
Determination Period, other than any purchase pursuant to the Warrants or
otherwise from PDGE. Further, in determining the Market Price all purchases and
sales by any PDGE Debtor Parties, Guarantors or their Affiliates shall be
disregarded for the relevant Price Determination Period(s), and the PDGE Debtor
Parties agree to advise Lender in writing of any sales or purchases by any such
person within two (2) Business Days of leaning of any such transaction, and to
provide Lender with a copy of each report on Form 4 or Form 5 or Schedule 13D
received by PDGE within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. If the
outstanding shares of common stock of PDGE are increased, decreased, or changed
into, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities,
without receipt of consideration by PDGE, through reorganization, merger,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, stock dividend, stock
consolidation or otherwise, an appropriate proportionate adjustment shall be
made in the number and kind of shares into which the Loans are convertible and
the Conversion Price (including the $0.65 floor price otherwise applicable to
the Conversion Price). To determine the number of shares issuable upon
conversion, the amount to be converted shall be divided by the Conversion Price
in effect on the Conversion Date. Upon conversion, payment shall be made for
any interest accrued with respect to the principal amount so converted through
the Conversion Date (and which interest is not elected to be converted pursuant
to the Conversion Notice), and PDGE will deliver a check for any fractional
share based on the Conversion Price, together with a certificate representing
the shares issued to Lender, within five (5) days of receipt of the Conversion
Notice by PDGE. The Conversion Notice must specify the Loan and amount of the
Loan, principal and accrued interest to be converted into shares of common
stock of PDGE, the Conversion Price (subject to adjustment in the event the
PDGE Debtor Parties, Guarantors or their Affiliates have purchased or sold
shares during the relevant Price Determination Period) and instructions for the
issuance of a certificate representing the shares to be issued upon conversion
to Lender. PDGE shall keep reserved for issuance at all times a sufficient
number of shares of common
- 14 -
23
stock to permit the conversion in full of the Loan and the exercise of all
outstanding warrants granted to Lender.
(b) PREPAYMENT OF LOAN: EFFECT ON LOAN CONVERSION. Subject to
Lender's conversion rights as set forth in paragraph 2.1.8(a), the PDGE Debtor
Parties will have the right at any time and from time to time, upon not less
than fifteen (15) Business Days notice to Lender (a "Prepayment Notice") to
prepay all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Loans without
penalty, but with interest accrued to the date of prepayment on the unpaid
principal balance of the Note so prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
PDGE Debtor Parties shall not be required to provide Lender with advance notice
of any prepayment actually received by Lender on or prior to January 31, 1996.
If following the receipt of a Prepayment Notice, Lender does not elect to
convert the Loan to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 2.1.8(a) above, the PDGE
Debtor Parties shall have 45 days, beginning on the earlier of (i) the 16th day
following receipt of the Prepayment Notice by Lender or (ii) the date that
Lender notifies PDGE that it does not intend to convert the prepayment during
which to complete the prepayment on the terms set forth in the Prepayment
Notice (the "Prepayment Period"). If PDGE subsequently fails to make a
prepayment equal to at least 75% of the prepayment proposed in the Prepayment
Notice prior to the end of the Prepayment Period, Lender's conversion rights
respecting the amounts of such proposed repayment shall be reinstated in full
and PDGE will immediately pay an amount equal to 5% of the difference between
the total prepayment proposed in the Prepayment Notice less the amount actually
repaid, which amount shall compensate Lender for the waiving during the
Prepayment Period of its conversion rights and which will not be applied to any
interest, principal or other sums owing under any Loan.
(c) REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
(i) At any time on or prior to October 1, 2000, Lender may
make a written demand on PDGE for registration (a "Demand Registration") under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") of all or a part of the
shares issued upon conversion of the Loans ("Registrable Shares"). Lender
shall be entitled to one Demand Registration only. Upon receipt of a Demand
Registration, PDGE shall take such steps as may be necessary to register such
securities under the Act as promptly as possible, including the preparation and
filing of a registration statement ("Registration Statement") with the
Securities Exchange Commission and all necessary amendments thereto, such
registration to take effect not later than sixty (60) days following the date
of Lender's demand. In addition, PDGE shall take such actions as may be
necessary and use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registerable
Shares for sale in such states and jurisdictions as Lender may direct on or
prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement under any local
securities or "blue sky" laws. All costs or expenses incident to the
registration, qualification or listing of such securities
- 15 -
24
shall be paid by PDGE, and PDGE shall comply with all reasonable requests of
Lender made in connection with the registration, qualification, listing or sale
of Registrable Shares. Without the prior written consent of Lender, PDGE shall
not effect any public sale or distribution of its debt or equity securities
during the ten (10)-day period prior to, or during the ninety (90)-day period
beginning on the effective date of a Registration Statement covering any
Registrable Shares. In addition to the foregoing, Lender shall remain entitled
to any registration rights provided under any of the Warrants.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, PDGE shall be entitled to
defer the filing of a Registration Statement required by Demand Registration
for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of such demand if:
(i) PDGE is contemplating an underwritten public offering of its securities
and, in the judgment of the managing underwriter thereof, such filing of the
Registration Statement for the Demand Registration would have a material
adverse effect on the PDGE's contemplated offering; (ii) PDGE is in possession
of material information that it deems advisable not to disclose in a
Registration Statement, provided that such information is revealed to Lender
and Lender agrees with PDGE's decision not to disclose such information;
or (iii) PDGE is prohibited (pursuant to the terms of an underwriting
agreement previously approved by the Lender in connection with a public
offering of its securities effected within the past six (6) months) from
filing such Registration Statement.
(iii) Lender shall also have the right, at any time and from time
to time until October 1, 2000, to include Registrable Shares within any
Registration Statement filed by PDGE covering shares of its common stock other
than a Registration Statement filed solely with respect to any employee benefit
plan of PDGE (and provided that the form of Registration Statement is a type on
which Registrable Shares can be registered). PDGE shall promptly give written
notice to Lender of any intended registration of its Common Stock not less than
forty-five (45) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the
Registration Statement, and Lender shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt
thereof, notify PDGE of the number of Registrable Shares it desires to include
in the Registration Statement. Subject to the approval of PDGE's managing
underwriter, Lender shall be entitled to include up to all of its Registrable
Shares, at its election, within the first Registration Statement filed by PDGE
following the date hereof. The number of Registrable Shares which may be
included by Lender in any such Registration Statement may be restricted by PDGE
if, in the opinion of PDGE's managing underwriter, the number of shares
proposed to be sold by Lender and by PDGE in such offering exceeds the number
of securities which can be sold in such offering. In such event, PDGE shall
include in the Registration Statement first the shares offered by PDGE, and
then to the extent approved for inclusion therein by PDGE and it managing
underwriter that number of Registrable Shares so approved pro rata with any
other shares of PDGE's common stock, the
- 16 -
25
holders of which have duly obtained registration rights of a type similar to
this paragraph c(iii). All costs or expenses, incident to the registration,
qualification or listing of such securities shall be paid by PDGE, and PDGE
shall comply with all reasonable requests of Lender made in connection with the
registration, qualification, listing or sale of Registrable Shares.
(iv) Prior to October 1, 2000, PDGE shall not grant any registration
rights superior to those provided to Lender with respect to Lender's Registrable
Shares without the prior written consent of Lender.
(v) The registration rights granted in respect of the Registrable
Shares hereunder shall be in addition to and not in lieu of those granted
pursuant to the Warrants.
(d) BOARD REPRESENTATIVES. In the event Lender shall become the
holder of shares representing 20% or more of the voting power of PDGE, whether
as a result of the conversion of any Loan or the exercise of any Warrant, in
whole or in part, or otherwise, the PDGE Debtor Parties shall take such action
as may be necessary to include on the Board of Directors of PDGE, at Lender's
option and request, one or more directors nominated and appointed by Lender,
such directors to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders of
PDGE at which directors are to be elected. Further, the failure of the Board of
Directors of PDGE to nominate any nominee proposed by Lender for election at
such annual meeting or any other meeting at which directors are to be elected
shall constitute an Event of Default. The number of directors to be appointed
by Lender shall reflect, as nearly as possible, a percentage of the entire
membership of the Board of Directors of PDGE represented by Lender's nominees
equal to the percentage of PDGE's then issued and outstanding shares
represented by all shares of common stock of PDGE owned by Lender. The
director(s) shall be appointed to the Board of Directors by the existing
members of the Board of Directors within six (6) Business Days of Lender's
demand for such director(s) appointment delivered to PDGE. The Bylaws of PDGE
shall provide at all times for a sufficient number of authorized directors to
accommodate the appointment to the Board of Directors of the directors to be
nominated by Lender which may represent up to a majority of the entire Board of
Directors as constituted from time to time. The obligations of the PDGE Debtor
Parties hereunder shall survive any repayment of the Loan occurring by reason
of the conversion thereof into shares of common stock of PDGE but not any
repayment for cash. The obligations of the PDGE Debtor Parties hereunder shall
be specifically enforceable by Lender, it being agreed that no adequate remedy
at law shall exist for the breach of their obligation to cause Lender to be
afforded representation on the Board of Directors of PDGE.

first day of each month, with all remaining unpaid principal being due at
maturity.
2.5.3 Late Charge; Default Interest. If any

be made directly to the Lender or to the lock box. The PDGE Debtor Parties shall
provide Lender with copies of any such notices concurrent with the delivery
thereof to the account debtors, and of all invoices sent after the date Lender
gives notice of its intention to implement these lock box provisions. Any lock
box
-33-
42
maintained may, at Lender's option, be maintained in the name of any one or more
PDGE Debtor Parties but Lender shall have the sole access to such lock box.
(iv) The PDGE Debtor Parties hereby
jointly, severally and irrevocably appoint the Lender the attorney-in-fact of
each and all of them to do (but the Lender shall not be obligated to and will
not incur any liability to any third party for any failure so to do) any act
which any PDGE Debtor Party is obligated by any Loan Document of any kind to do,
including without implied limitation, the collection, endorsement and receipt of
all payments or proceeds payable on or on account of the Accounts or the
delivery of any notices, including any notices to account debtors.
(v) The foregoing lock box and
collection provisions may be implemented by Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion upon its determination that an Event of Default has occurred and has
not been cured within any applicable cure period, and Lender shall not have any
liability of any kind to any PDGE Debtor Party or any other person in the event
Lender has incorrectly determined that an Event of Default exists, it being
understood that the parties acknowledge that Lender has, as of the date hereof,
the sole, absolute and unrestricted right to currently impose such lock box
requirements upon the PDGE Debtor Parties or to directly collect all Accounts.
(d) Accounts Receivable Information. In addition
to the account receivables aging report delivered each month to Lender under the
terms of paragraph 3.13.5 hereof, the PDGE Debtor Parties will provide
supplementary information sufficient to show the customer names, addresses,
phone and fax numbers for each account debtor of the PDGE Debtor Parties,
together with the name of the principal contact of the PDGE Debtor Parties at
such customer.
(e) Joint Ventures; Investments. Paragraph 3.22
of this Agreement restricts the authority and power of the PDGE Debtor Parties
to make investments in or loans to other entities or parties, including joint
ventures or partnerships. Lender agrees that it will consider, on a case by case
basis, any proposed joint venture, partnership or similar investment by any PDGE
Debtor Party; provided, that (A) written approval of such investment is obtained
from Lender prior to the entering into of any binding commitment of any kind by
any PDGE Party to make such investment; (B) the PDGE Debtor Parties provide
Lender with such information as Lender may request concerning the proposed
investments; (C) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, without
reference to any cure period which otherwise would be applicable; (D) no portion
of Lender's Collateral including any proceeds of any Collateral, shall be
utilized to fund or guarantee or secure such investment; and (E) Lender shall
obtain such security interests in such investment or in the assets of such joint
venture, partnership or similar investment as it shall require.
-34-
43
(f) Affiliates; Investments. Schedule "J" hereto
contains a complete list of all corporations, joint ventures, partnerships, or
other entities or persons in which any PDGE Debtor Party has any equity interest
or interest as a lender, including without limitation all subsidiaries and
Affiliates.
(g) Remediation Stock Ownership. The PDGE Debtor
Parties each hereby covenant and agree that until repayment in full of the
Loans, PDGE shall own at all times, free and clear of any liens or security
interests, other than Lender's security interest arising under the Remediation
Stock Pledge Agreement, all shares owned by the PDGE Debtor Parties in
Remediation (the "Remediation Shares") and shall only sell such shares for the
purpose of repaying the Loans, and all proceeds of any sale of the Remediation
shares pledged to the Lender shall be paid to the Lender to be applied to reduce
the outstanding balance of the Loans, as the Lender shall determine to apply
such funds.
(g) Remediation Stock Ownership. The PDGE Debtor
Parties each hereby covenant and agree that until repayment in full of the
Loans, PDGE shall own at all times, free and clear of any liens or security
interests, other than Lender's security interest arising under the Remediation
Stock Pledge Agreement, all shares owned by the PDGE Debtor Parties in
Remediation (the "Remediation Shares") and shall only sell such shares for the
purpose of repaying the Loans, and all proceeds of any sale of the Remediation
shares pledged to the Lender shall be paid to the Lender to be applied to reduce
the outstanding balance of the Loans, as the Lender shall determine to apply
such funds.
(h) The PDGE Debtor Parties jointly and
severally warrant, represent and covenant that:
(i) Except as set forth in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), there are no restrictions upon
the transfer of any of the Remediation Shares and PDGE has the right to pledge
and grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer the Remediation Shares
free of any encumbrances or rights of third parties and all Remediation Shares
shall be held as Collateral as defined under the Remediation Stock Pledge
Agreement;
(ii) All of the Remediation Shares are
and shall remain free from all liens, claims, encumbrances, and purchase money
or other security interests. PDGE shall not, without Lender's prior written
consent, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Remediation
Shares;
(iii) The Remediation Stock Pledge
Agreement, and the delivery to Lender of the Remediation Shares, creates a valid
and perfected security interest in the Remediation Shares and all actions
necessary or desirable to such perfection have been duly taken;
(iv) Except as set forth in the Act no
authorization or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (A) for the
perfection of or exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies under the
Remediation Stock Pledge Agreement (except as may have been taken by or at the
direction of Lender or as may be required in connection with a disposition of
Remediation Shares by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities
generally), or (B) for the exercise by Lender of the voting or other rights
provided for in the Remediation
-35-
44
Stock Pledge Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Remediation Shares
pursuant to the Remediation Stock Pledge Agreement;
(v) The Remediation Shares represent
59.5% percent (100%) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of Remediation;
(vi) PDGE holds no options, warrants or
other rights to acquire capital stock of Remediation; and

been duly and validly issued, and they are fully paid and nonassessable.
(viii) All of the Remediation Shares have
been registered under the Act, as amended, and registered or qualified for sale
under the laws of each state in which shares were sold in connection with
Remediation's initial public offering in February 1995, and are the subject of a
current prospectus under the Act.
4.14 Additional Matters. Each of the PDGE Debtor Party and
Guarantors represents and warrants that they (a) have been advised by legal
counsel of the their choice in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement;
(b) are fully aware and clearly understands all of the terms and provisions
contained in this Agreement; (c) have voluntarily, with full acknowledge and
without coercion or duress of any kind, entered into this Agreement; (e) on
their own initiative have made proposals to the Lender, the terms of which are
reflected by this Agreement; and (f) have received actual and adequate
consideration to enter into this Agreement.
5. Environmental Compliance. The Borrowers agree that they will
not use, generate manufacture, produce, store, release, discharge or dispose of
any Hazardous Substance or allow any other person to do so in violation of any
Environmental Law. The Borrowers agree to give prompt written notice to the
Lender of: (a) any proceeding or inquiry by any federal, state, local or foreign
governmental authority with respect to any violation of Environmental Law by the
Borrowers or any Affiliate; (b) all claims made or threatened by any third party
against the Borrowers or any affiliate relating to any loss or injury resulting
from any Hazardous Substance; and (c) the discovery by the Borrowers or any
Affiliate of any occurrence or condition that could cause the Borrowers or any
Affiliate to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy,
transferability or use of any property of the Borrowers under any Environmental
Law. The Borrowers agree to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Lender, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns against all loss,
damage, cost, expense or liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs) directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use,
generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release,
discharge, disposal or presence of a Hazardous Substance by the Borrowers or any
Affiliate,
-36-
45
including without implied limitation: (i) all foreseeable consequential damages;
and (ii) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or
detoxification and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial
or other required plan. The foregoing indemnity agreement will survive the
payment of the Loan and the release or other termination of the Loan Documents.
In the event that any investigation, site monitoring, containment, cleanup,
removal, restoration or other remedial work of any kind or nature is reasonably
necessary or desirable under any applicable Environmental Law or required by any
governmental or nongovernmental entity or person because of, or in connection
with, the current or future presence, suspected presence, release or suspected
release of a Hazardous Substance on or into the air, soil, groundwater, surface
water or soil vapor by the Borrowers or any Affiliate, the Borrowers agree
within thirty (30) days after written demand for performance thereof by the
Lender (or such shorter period of time as might be required under any applicable
Environmental Law) to commence, or cause to be commenced, and thereafter
diligently prosecute or cause to be prosecuted to completion, all such remedial
work. At Lender's option, remedial work will be performed by one or more
contractors approved by the Lender under the supervision of a consulting
engineer approved by the Lender. All costs and expenses of such remedial work
will be paid by the Borrowers including, without implied limitation, the charges
of such contractor(s) and consulting engineer(s), and the Lender's reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of
such remedial work.
6. Events of Default. The Lender may terminate all obligations of
the Lender to make further disbursements under the Revolving Note or Term Note
and may exercise the remedies held by the Lender under the Loan Documents if any
of the following events occur and are not remedied by the Borrowers or waived in
writing by the Lender.
6.1 Nonpayment. The nonpayment, within five (5) days of
the date when due, of any installment of interest or principal owing under the
Revolving Note or Term Note or of any other amount payable to the Lender under
the terms of the Loan Documents.
6.2 Breach of Agreement. The failure by the Borrowers to
perform or observe any representation, warranty or agreement contained in any of
the Loan Documents, including without implied limitation any provision of
paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 hereof, which shall continue for a period of thirty (30)
days after the Borrowers become aware thereof, except that any obligations
related to the payment of money or maintenance of insurance shall have no grace
period except as otherwise expressly provided in paragraph 6.1 hereof and the
defaults described in paragraph 6.3 through 6.12 shall have no grace periods
except as specified in such paragraphs.
6.3 Lien Filings. The existence for a period of thirty
(30) days of any lien other than liens created by the Loan Documents or
permitted hereunder covering all
-37-
46
or any portion of the Collateral, unless the validity thereof is being contested
in good faith by the Borrowers.
6.4 Casualty Loss. Substantial damage, destruction or
taking of all or any portion of the Collateral.
6.5 Representations and Warranties. Any representation,
statement, certificate, schedule or report made or furnished to the Lender by or
on behalf of the Borrowers proves to be false or erroneous in any material
respect at the time of the making thereof or any representation or warranty
contained in the Loan Documents ceases to be complied with in any material
respect.
6.6 Insolvency; Bankruptcy. The insolvency (meaning an
inability to pay debts as the same become due or the existence of liabilities in
excess of assets) of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or the institution of
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or conservatorship
proceeding by or against any Borrower or any Guarantor.
6.7 Judgment. Entry by any court of a final uninsured
judgment against any Borrower or an attachment of the Collateral or any part
thereof which is not discharged or stayed to the satisfaction of the Lender.
6.8 Other Debt. The default in payment or acceleration of
the maturity of any indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor owing to any
other person.
6.9 Adverse Change. The occurrence of a material adverse
change in the financial condition of any Borrower, any
Guarantor, or the value of the Collateral.
6.10 Ownership and Management. A change in the ownership
or management of the Borrowers shall occur which is unsatisfactory to Lender.
6.11 Corporate Existence. Any act or omission (formal or
informal) of the Borrowers or Guarantors or their officers, directors or
shareholders leading to, or resulting in, the termination, invalidation (partial
or total), revocation, suspension, interruption or unenforceability of their
corporate existences, rights, licenses, franchises or permits, or the transfer
or disposition (whether by sale, lease or otherwise) to any person of all or a
substantial part of their property.
6.12 Invalidity of Security Interest and Liens. For any
reason after execution and delivery thereof, any document delivered pursuant
hereto that creates, or was intended to create, a security interest or to
provide collateral security for indebtedness created hereunder ceases to be in
full force and effect, or the liens intended to be created
-38-
47
thereby cease to be or are not valid and perfected first liens, subject to no
other liens except as expressly permitted herein.
7. Remedies. On the occurrence of an Event of Default, in
addition to any other rights and remedies which the Lender might hold under the
terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents, the Lender will have the
following remedies:
7.1 Acceleration of Maturity. The Lender may, at the
Lender's option, terminate all obligations of the Lender to make further
advances under the Revolving Note and the Term Note, declare the Revolving Note
and the Term Note and all other amounts owing by the Borrowers to the Lender to
be immediately due and payable, demand performance of all other obligations of
the Borrowers under the Loan Documents and proceed to selectively and
successively enforce any one or more of the Lender's rights under the Loan
Documents.
7.2 Selective Enforcement. In the event the Lender elects
to selectively and successively enforce the Lender's rights under any one or
more of the Loan Documents, such action will not be deemed a waiver or discharge
of any other right, lien or encumbrance securing payment of the Revolving Note
and the Term Note. Lender may proceed against the Guarantors or the Borrowers
selectively and without any requirement to proceed against all of them or
against any of them in any particular order.
7.3 Performance by Lender. In the event the Borrowers
fail to cure or cause to be cured any Event of Default within any time provided,
the Lender will at any time thereafter have the right, but not the obligation,
to cause the Event of Default to be cured on the Borrowers' behalf and to pay
any secured or unsecured claim (whether prior to or subordinate to the claims of
the Lender) affecting the Collateral or Lease payments in such manner and at
such times as the Lender determines to be appropriate under the circumstances.
The Borrowers hereby authorize the Lender to increase the indebtedness owing by
the Borrowers to the Lender by the cost of curing any Event of Default or
satisfying any claim against the Borrowers or the Collateral and agrees that the
Loan Documents will evidence and secure payment of such costs whether or not the
total funds advanced by the Lender exceed the face amount of the Loan Documents.
7.4 Waiver of Default. The Lender may, by an instrument
in writing signed by the Lender, waive any Event of Default which has occurred
and any of the consequences of such Event of Default and, in such event, the
Lender, the Borrowers and the Guarantors will be restored to their respective
former positions, rights and obligations hereunder. Any Event of Default so
waived will, for the purposes of the Loan Documents, be deemed to have been
cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent
or other Event of Default or impair any consequences of such subsequent or other
Event of Default. No waiver of any Event of Default by the Lender will be
-39-
48
implied from the failure or delay by the Lender to take any action in respect of
the Event of Default. No express waiver of any condition precedent or Event of
Default will affect any other Event of Default or extend any period of time for
performance other than as specified in such express waiver. One or more waivers
of any Event of Default will not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent failure by
the Borrowers to perform the same provision or any other provision. The consent
to or approval of any act or request by the Lender will not be deemed to waive
or render unnecessary the consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act
or request. The partial exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents
will not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or remedy. No advance of the proceeds of the Loan will constitute a
waiver of any of the Borrowers' representations, warranties, conditions or
agreements contained in the Loan Documents. If the Lender elects to advance
proceeds of the Loan to the Borrowers' notwithstanding the Borrowers' failure to
satisfy any condition precedent to such advance, the advancement of funds will
not preclude the Lender from thereafter declaring the Borrowers' failure to
satisfy such condition precedent to be an Event of Default. No course of
dealing between the Borrowers and the Lender will be deemed to amend the terms
of the Loan Documents or to preclude the Lender from exercising the rights and
remedies therein contained notwithstanding such course of dealing.
7.5 Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies of the
Lender provided by the Loan Documents are cumulative and no right or remedy will
be exclusive of any other or of any other right or remedy which the Lender might
otherwise have by virtue of the occurrence of an Event of Default and the
exercise of any right or remedy by the Lender will not impair the Lender's
standing to exercise any other right or remedy.
7.6 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. The Borrowers,
jointly and severally, for themselves and all who may claim through or under
them, hereby expressly waive and release all rights to have the Collateral, or
any part thereof, or any of their other properties, marshalled on any
foreclosure, sale or other enforcement of remedies, and the Lender or any court
in which the foreclosure of liens or security interests in the Collateral are
sought, shall have the right to sell the Collateral as an entirety in a single
parcel.
7.7 Deposits; Setoff. Regardless of the adequacy of the
Collateral, any sums credited by or due from the Lender or any affiliate of the
Lender to the Borrowers or any affiliate of the Lender will at all times
constitute collateral security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Lender
and may be set off against any and all liabilities, direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower to the Lender.
8. Rights of Lender Concerning New Financing; Refinancing of
Property; Repurchase of Warrants.
-40-
49
8.1 Financing Proceeds. Out of all proceeds received by
any PDGE Debtor Party as a result of the completion of any equity financing (a
"Financing"), except a "Lender Equity Financing" as defined below, net of all
selling expenses incident thereto, consisting of all brokerage and underwriting
commissions, discounts, placement agent fees, and other related compensation,
attorneys' and accountants' fees, printing costs, filing fees and other
necessary expenses ("Net Financing Proceeds") a minimum of thirty percent (30%),
or one hundred percent (100%) should any Event of Default have occurred and be
continuing beyond any applicable cure period, shall be used solely for the
purpose of repaying the amounts owing under the Loans, whether or not then due,
as Lender may determine, and Lender is hereby granted a security interest in all
such Net Financing Proceeds to the extent Lender is entitled to same hereunder.
However, to the extent Net Financing Proceeds are derived from the issuance of
shares of PDGE common stock at any time upon the exercise by Lender of any
Warrants, in whole or in part, one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Financing
Proceeds shall be applied to repayment of the Loans and Lender may credit the
proceeds otherwise due Lender on such issuance directly to the amounts owing to
Lender under the Loans. Lender shall have the right to require as a condition of
any investment, securities purchase, underwriting, placement agent, or similar
agreement related to any Financing that the Net Financing Proceeds be paid
directly to Lender or as Lender may otherwise direct. The PDGE Debtor Parties
agree to execute and deliver, and hereby irrevocably authorize Lender, on their
behalf and as their attorney-in-fact, to execute and deliver, any and all
agreements and instruments, and to take any and all actions, as Lender may
request or deem necessary in order to provide for the direct payment of all Net
Financing Proceeds to Lender, or to perfect Lender's security interest in such
Net Financing Proceeds as granted herein. The PDGE Debtor Parties shall provide
Lender with at least fifteen (15) Business Days notice prior to the closing of
any Financing.
8.2 Option to Provide Financing. In the event any PDGE
Debtor Party shall propose to raise any funds through a Financing, such PDGE
Debtor Party shall offer Lender the first right or option to provide such
Financing and shall provide Lender with a notice (the "Offer Notice") setting
forth all material terms of the proposed Financing, including the nature of the
equity securities to be issued, the rights thereof and the price to be paid
therefor. Following receipt of the Offer Notice, Lender shall have the right
upon notice to the PDGE Debtor Party proposing the Financing given within
fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Offer Notice to provide the
Financing requested by the PDGE Debtor Party on substantially the terms set
forth in the Offer Notice (a "Lender Equity Financing"). In the event Lender
shall exercise its right to provide funds to a PDGE Debtor Party through a
Lender Equity Financing, the parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon
the terms of and to enter into definitive agreements respecting such Financing
as are customary for a transaction of such type and to close the Lender Equity
Financing within sixty (60) days of the date of the Offer Notice.
-41-
50
8.3 Purchase of Warrants. In the event the Loans are
repaid in full on or prior to January 31, 1996, PDGE shall have the option to
repurchase the then unexercised portion of the Warrants for the purchase price
of $100,000. Such option shall be exercised upon written notice to Lender given
concurrent with the repayment in full of the Loans, accompanied by payment in
the amount of $100,000, which shall be received by Lender not later than January
31, 1996.
8.4 Refinancing of Murryville, Pennsylvania Property.
Lender hereby agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any
proposed refinancing of the Property provided that (a) all proceeds from the
refinancing shall be used to pay down the Loans, whether or not then due, (b) at
least $400,000 in proceeds are received by Lender from the refinancing; (c)
Lender shall be permitted to maintain a second priority mortgage on the Property
subject to no liens other than the mortgage lien on the refinance lender and
liens for current property taxes not yet payable; (d) no Event of Default or
event or circumstance exists that with the giving of notice or the passage of
time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default either before or after
giving effect to the proposed refinancing; and (e) the PDGE Debtor Parties and
the refinance lender shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered to Lender such mortgages, subordination and intercreditor agreements,
documents and other information as Lender may reasonably require, including a
Lender's policy of title insurance in an amount required by Lender.
9. No Further Modification. No provision hereof can be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated, except by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. It is understood that the Lender is under no obligation
to extend the term of any credit extended under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and any such further modifications or extensions will be made in the
Lender's sole and absolute discretion. Any such modifications or extensions will
be evidenced by the acceptance by Lender of a written agreement having terms
acceptable to the Lender. Each of the PDGE Debtor Parties and Guarantors
acknowledge that all of the terms and all of the obligations of Lender with
respect to any credit of any kind extended to the PDGE Debtor Parties is fully
contained in this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and that no other
understanding, written or oral, has been entered into in connection herewith.
10. Release of Lender. As additional consideration for the
undertaking to execute and deliver this Agreement, the PDGE Debtor Parties and
Guarantors hereby each release and forever discharge the Lender, the Lender's
agents, servants, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and shareholders,
as well as the respective successors and assigns of any and all thereof
(collectively, the "Released Lender Parties") from all damage, loss, claims,
demands, liabilities, obligations, actions and causes of action whatsoever which
the Debtor Parties or Guarantors, or any of them, might now have or
-42-
51
claim to have against the Lender, whether presently known or unknown, and of
every nature and extent whatsoever, on account of or in any way concerning,
arising out of or founded on the Integra Loans, PDGE Loans, PDGES Loan or any
of the Loan Documents or PDGES Loan Documents, including without implied
limitation, all such loss or damage of any kind heretofore sustained that
might arise as a consequence from the dealings between the parties.
To the extent applicable, the PDGE Debtor Parties and
Guarantors waive the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code
which provides as follows:
"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT
EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT
THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM
MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED
HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR"

11.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will inure to the
benefit of and bind the respective successors and permitted assigns of the
parties.
11.4 Attorneys' Fees. If any legal action or proceeding is brought
by any party in order to enforce a provision of this Agreement or any Loan
Document, the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding, whether or not
such action or proceeding is prosecuted to final judgement, shall pay all of the
attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party. If any PDGE Debtor
Party or Guarantors shall become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding, the PDGE Debtor Parties and Guarantors shall pay to the lender on
demand all attorneys' fees, costs and expenses which the Lender may incur (i) to
obtain relief from any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding which delays or other
wise impairs the Lender's exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement,
or any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) to obtain adequate protection or assurance
for any of the Lender's rights or collateral.
11.5 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is
determined by a court having jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under any present or future law, the remainder of this Agreement
will not be affected thereby. It is the intention of the parties that if any
provision is so held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there will be
added in lieu thereof a provision as similar in terms to such provision as is
possible that is legal, valid and enforceable.
11.6 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for ease
in reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of this Agreement
in any way.
11.7 No Waiver. No waiver of any action or default by any party
will be implied from the failure or delay by the other party to take any action
in respect of such action or default. No express waiver of any condition
precedent or default will affect any other default or extend any period of time
for performance other than as specified in such express waiver. One or more
waivers of any default in the performance of any provision of this Agreement
will not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default in the performance of the
same provision or any other provision. The consent to or approval of any act or
request by any party will not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the
consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act or request. A party's
exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement will not preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
No course of dealing between the parties will be deemed to amend the terms of
the Agreement or to preclude any party from
-44-
53
exercising the rights and remedies herein contained notwithstanding such course
of dealing. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative
and no right or remedy will be exclusive or any other, or of any other
right or remedy at law or in equity which any party might otherwise have by
virtue of a default under this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy
by any party will not impair such party's standing to exercise any other right
or remedy.
11.8 Applicable Law. The lending transaction contemplated
by this Agreement and the Loan Documents has been negotiated, consummated and is
to be performed in the State of California. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents described herein shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with the substantive law of the State of California. Any action or
proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents
shall be brought in a federal or state court within Los Angeles County,
California, and the Debtor Parties and Guarantors hereby consent to the
jurisdiction of any federal or state court within the State of California and
located in State of California and located in Los Angeles County, California.
The Debtor Parties and Guarantors irrevocably and unconditionally submit to
the jurisdiction (both subject matter and personal) or each such court and
irrevocably and unconditionally waive (a) any objection that they might now or
hereafter have to the venue in any such court; and (b) any claim that any
action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, initiate proceedings in the courts of any other
jurisdiction in which any Debtor Party or Guarantor may be found or in which
its assets may be located.
11.9 JURY WAIVER. THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (1)

October 1, 1995
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., a Delaware corporation;
PDG, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC., a
Pennsylvania corporation; and ENVIRO-TECH ABATEMENT SERVICES CO., a North
Carolina corporation (collectively, the "Borrower"), jointly and severally
promise to pay to the order of CVD FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation, its successors and assigns (the "Lender") at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, X0X 0X0 Xxxxxx, or at such other place
as might be designated in writing by the Lender, the principal sum of Two
Million Four Hundred Nineteen Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Three Dollars and
71/100 ($2,419,993.71) or so much thereof as has been disbursed by the lender
and remains unpaid, together with interest thereon at a variable rate equal to
the Note Rate (as hereafter defined) then in effect. The "Note Rate" shall be
equal to three percent (3%) in excess of the Prime Rate (as hereafter
defined) per annum. The Note Rate charged hereunder will change effective on
the date of each change in the Prime Rate without notice to the Borrower. As
used in this Note, the term "Prime Rate" means the rate of interest per annum
most recently announced by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, for the guidance
of its officers as its prime lending rate or, if the foregoing index is not
available, the highest prevailing base interest rate charged on corporate loans
by large United States money center commercial banks as published from time to
time in the "Money Rates" column of The Wall Street Journal. The Prime Rate is
currently eight and three quarters percent (8.75%) per annum and the Borrower
acknowledges that this Note will bear interest at a rate three percent (3%) in
excess of eight and three quarters percent (8.75%), or eleven and three
quarters percent (11.75%) per annum, until the date of a change in the Prime
Rate. Interest will be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed based
on a per diem charge computed over a year composed of three hundred sixty (360)
days.
Principal and interest will be paid as follows: Interest on the amounts
disbursed, accrued from October 1, 1995 through the last day of each month,
will be paid on the first day of each succeeding calendar month, commencing on
November 1, 1995. On December 31, 1996, the entire unpaid principal balance and
all accrued but unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable.
SCHEDULE "C"
57
This Note is issued by the Borrower and accepted by the Lender pursuant
to a certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement between the Borrower and the
Lender dated as of October 31, 1995, (the "Loan Agreement") and evidences the
Revolving Loan as defined in the Loan Agreement. It is specifically understood
that the aggregate advances made during the term of this Note shall exceed the
face amount of this Note, but the unpaid principal balance of this Note will
never exceed the face amount of this Note. Advances, readvances and payments
under this Note may, at the option of the Lender, be recorded on this Note or by
deposits and withdrawals from an account maintained by the Borrower on deposit
with the Lender or under the control of the Lender, either of which will be
prima facie evidence of such advances, payments and the unpaid balance of this
Note. All advances under this Note will be made by the Lender in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Agreement. All advances under this Note will be made by
the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Subject to Lender's conversion rights as set forth in the Loan
Agreement, the Borrower will have the right at any time and from time to time,
upon not less than fifteen (15) business days notice to Lender to prepay all or
any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note without penalty, but
with interest accrued to the date of prepayment on the unpaid principal balance
of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to
provide Lender with advance notice of any prepayment received by Lender on or
prior to January 31, 1996.
The Borrower agrees that if, and as often as, this Note is placed in
the hands of an attorney for collection or to defend or enforce any of the
Lender's rights under this Note, the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) or otherwise relating to the indebtedness hereby evidenced, the
Borrower will pay the Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees, all court costs and
all other expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith. The Lender
may collect a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of each payment which is
not received by the Lender within ten (10) days after the due date of such
payment. Such late charge represents the estimate of reasonable compensation
for the loss which will be sustained by the Lender arising from the Borrower's
failure to make timely payments and may be collected without prejudice to the
rights of the Lender to collect any other amounts arising from the Borrower's
default in payment or to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness hereby
evidenced. In addition to the foregoing late charge, at the option of the
Lender, after the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Loan
Agreement), the unpaid balance of this Note will bear interest at a Default
Rate which is equal to five percent (5.0%) in excess of the Note Rate (eight
percent (8.0%) in excess of the Prime Rate) and such interest which has accrued
will be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to curing any Event of
Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement). During the existence of any Event
of Default, the Lender may apply payments received on any amount due hereunder
or under the terms of any instrument now or hereafter evi-
2
58
dencing or securing payment of this indebtedness as the Lender determines from
time to time.
Payment of the indebtedness hereby evidenced is secured by certain
security interests described in the Loan Documents (as defined under the Loan
Agreement). On the breach by the Borrower of any provision of this Note, or the
occurrence of any other Event of Default under any one or more of the Loan
Documents or any other instrument now or hereafter evidencing or securing
payment of the indebtedness hereby evidenced, and the continuation of such
Event of Default beyond any applicable cure period, at the option of the
Lender, the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note will become immediately
due, payable and collectible then or thereafter as the Lender might elect,
regardless of the date of maturity of this Note. Failure by the Lender to
exercise such option will not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the
same on the occurrence of any subsequent Event of Default.
The makers, endorsers, sureties, guarantors and all other persons who
might become liable for all or any part of this obligation severally waive
presentment for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment. Such parties consent
to any extension of time (whether one or more) of payment hereof, release of
all or any part of the collateral securing payment hereof or release of any
party liable for the payment of this obligation. Any such extension or release
may be made without notice to any such party and without discharging such
party's liability hereunder. If more than one maker executes this Note, the
liability of each of the undersigned is and shall be joint and several.
The lending transaction contemplated by this Note and the Loan
Documents has been negotiated, consummated and is to be performed in the State
of California. This Note and the other Loan Documents described herein shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive law
of the State of California. Any action or proceeding arising in connection with
this Note and the Loan Documents shall be brought in a federal or state court
within Los Angeles County, California, and the Borrowers hereby consent to the
jurisdiction of any federal or state court within the State of California and
located in State of California and located in Los Angeles County, California.
The Borrowers irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction (both
subject matter and personal) of each such court and irrevocably and
unconditionally waive (1) any objection that they might now or hereafter have
to the venue in any such court; and (2) any claim that any action or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, initiate proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction in
which any Borrower may be found or in which its assets may be located.

THE MAKERS HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (1) ARISING UNDER THIS NOTE, ANY OF

than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any
Shares,
-2-

(ii) dividends and distributions paid or payable in cash in
respect of any Shares in connection with a partial or total liquidation or
dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or
paid-in surplus, and
(iii) cash paid with respect to, payable or otherwise
distributed on redemption of, or in exchange for, any Shares, shall be
forthwith delivered to Lender to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by
Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Lender, be segregated from the
other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Lender as
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
(c) Lender shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed
and delivered) to Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as Pledgor may
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Pledgor to exercise those voting
and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph 5(a)
above and to receive those dividends or distributions which it is authorized to
receive and retain pursuant to paragraph 4(b) above.
(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and any amounts shall be due and payable (whether by acceleration, maturity, or
otherwise) under any of the Obligations, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the
voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
exercise pursuant to this paragraph 4 and to receive the dividends and
distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to this paragraph shall, at Lender's option, cease, and all such rights
shall, at Lender's option, thereupon become vested in Lender so long as an Event
of Default shall continue, and Lender shall, at its option, thereupon have the
sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive
and hold as Collateral such dividends and interest payments.
6. REPRESENTATIONS. Pledgor warrants, represents and covenants
that:
(a) except as set forth in the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), there are no restrictions upon the transfer of any of the
Collateral and Pledgor has the right to pledge and grant a security interest in
or otherwise transfer such Collateral free of any encumbrances or rights of
third parties;
(b) all of the Collateral is and shall remain free from all
liens, claims, encumbrances, and purchase money or other security interests,
and Pledgor shall not, without Lender's prior written consent, sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral;
(c) this Agreement, and the delivery to Lender of the
certificates representing the Shares creates a valid and perfected security
interest in the Collateral in favor of Lender, and all actions necessary or
desirable to such perfection have been duly taken;
(d) no authorization or other action by, and no notice to or
filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either
(i) for the grant by Pledgor of the security interest granted hereby or for the
execution, delivery or performance of this
-3-
85
Agreement by Pledgor; (ii) for the perfection of or exercise by Lender of its
rights and remedies hereunder; or (iii) for the exercise by Lender of the
voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in
respect of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (except as may be required in
connection with a disposition of the Shares by laws affecting the offering and
sale of securities generally);
(e) Pledgor has made its own arrangements for keeping informed
of changes or potential changes affecting the Collateral (including, but not
limited to, rights to convert, rights to subscribe, payment of dividends,
reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights) and Pledgor
agrees that Lender shall have no responsibility or liability for informing
Pledgor of any such changes or potential changes or for taking any action or
omitting to take any action with respect thereto;
(f) The Shares represent 59.5% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of the common stock of Remediation and constitute all shares
of Remediation owned by Pledgor or any PDGE Debtor Party or Affiliate thereof
(as defined in the Loan Modification Agreement);
(h) All of the outstanding Shares have been duly and validly
issued by Remediation and they are fully paid and nonassessable; and
(i) All of the Shares have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and shall at all times be the subject of a
current effective registration statement and prospectus, and subject to no
restrictions on resale by Lender except as set forth in the Act.
7. SHARE ADJUSTMENT. In the event that during the term of this
Agreement, any reclassification, readjustment or other change is declared or
made in the capital structure of Borrower, or any Option is exercised, all new
substituted and additional shares, options, or other securities, issued, or
issuable, to Pledgor by reason of any such change or exercise shall be
delivered to and held by Lender under the terms of this Agreement in the same
manner as the Collateral originally pledged hereunder.
8. WARRANTS. In the event that during the term of this Agreement,
subscription warrants or any other rights or options shall be issued or
exercised in connection with the Collateral, such warrants, rights and options,
acquired by Pledgor shall be immediately assigned by Pledgor to Lender and all
new stock or other securities so acquired by Pledgor shall also be immediately
assigned to Lender to be held under the terms of this Agreement in the same
manner as the Collateral originally pledged hereunder.
9. CONSENT. Pledgor hereby consents that, from time-to-time,
before or after the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, with or
without notice to or assent from Pledgor, any other security at any time held by
or available to Lender of any of the Obligations or any other security at any
time held by or available to Lender of any other person, firm or corporation
secondarily or otherwise liable for any of the Obligations, may be exchanged,
-4-
86
surrendered, or released and any of the Obligations may be changed, altered,
renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived or released, in
whole or in part, as Lender may see fit, and Pledgor shall remain bound under
this Agreement notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release,
alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver or inaction, or
extension of further credit.
10. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have, in addition to any other rights given by law or the
rights hereunder, all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral
of a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code ("Code").
In addition, with respect to the Collateral, or any part thereof, upon
ten (10) business days' notice to Pledgor following the occurrence of an Event
of Default and Pledgor's failure to cause such Event of Default to be cured
within such period, Lender may sell or cause the same to be sold at any public
or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price as Lender may deem
best, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of
any credit risk, and the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold
shall thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim, encumbrance or
right of any kind whatsoever.
Any sale of the Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable
commercial practices of banks, insurance companies or other financial
institutions disposing of property similar to the Collateral and any sale made
through NASDAQ, any securities exchange or any NASD member shall be
conclusively deemed to be commercially reasonable. Any requirements of
reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed to Pledgor, at the
address set forth in the Loan Agreement, at least ten (10) calendar days before
the time of the sale or disposition. Any other retirement of notice, demand or
advertisement for sale, is, to the extent permitted by law, waived.
Lender may, in its own name, or in the name of a designee or nominee,
buy at any public sale of the Collateral, or to the extent permitted by the
Code, at any private sale. Lender shall have the right to execute any document
or form, in its name or in the name of the Pledgor, which may be necessary or
desirable in connection with such sale of Collateral.
In addition to specific rights provided herein with respect to sales
of the Shares, and subject to applicable law, sales of the Collateral may be
conducted with or without demand and with or without notice or advertisement,
for cash, credit or for future delivery, all as the Lender shall deem
appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender may (i) approach and
negotiate with potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders
or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. In the event any such Collateral is sold at
private sale, Pledgor agrees that such sale shall not, by reason merely that it
is a private sale subject to the potential restrictions described herein, or
that there is a possibility that a substantially higher price might have been
realized at a public sale, be deemed to have not been made in a commercially
reasonable manner. Pledgor recognizes that no ready
-5-
87
market may exist for such Collateral and that a sale by Lender of any such
Collateral for an amount substantially less than the value of the Shares may be
commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in
attempting to sell a large block of the securities of Remediation. Upon
consummation of any such sale, Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer
and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof, the Collateral so sold. Each
such Purchaser of any such sale shall hold the Property sold absolutely free
from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
which Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of
law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. If any consent, approval or
authorization of any state, municipal or other governmental agency or authority
shall be necessary to effectuate any sale or disposition of the Collateral,
Pledgor shall execute all such applications and other instruments as may be
required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization
and, will otherwise use its best efforts to secure the same. Under no
circumstances will Lender be obligated to register any securities under the
Securities Act of 1933 or any similar qualification or registration law of any
state, unless, in its sole discretion, it shall elect to do so, in which case
the cost of such registration and qualification shall become part of the
Obligations secured hereby.
11. RELEASE OF SHARES BY LENDER. Provided that an Event of Default
(as defined in the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents) has not then
occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period, Lender agrees to
permit Pledgor to arrange for the sale (a "Pledgor Arranged Sale"), from time
to time, of all or a portion of the Shares in the event (i) all proceeds of
such sale, net of all brokerage commissions and related costs of sale ("Net
Sales Proceeds") are paid to Lender to be applied to the Obligations, whether
or not then due; (ii) such Pledgor Arranged Sale is made at a price per share
not less than the average closing price for shares of Remediation for the
twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding such sale as reported on NASDAQ
or any securities exchange on which the Remediation common stock is then listed
(the "Minimum Price"); and (iii) if the Net Sales Proceeds to be realized are
less than $1.50 per Share, Lender shall be given a right of first refusal to
purchase such Shares at the Minimum Price. Pledgor shall give Lender notice of
the number of Shares ("Subject Shares") to be covered by each proposed Pledgor
Arranged Sale, the identity of the purchaser (if known), the Minimum Price
applicable thereto, the anticipated Net Sales Proceeds, and, if the Net Sales
Proceeds are anticipated to be less than $1.50 per share, an offer to sell such
Shares to Lender at the Minimum Price, which offer Lender shall accept or
reject by written notice to Pledgor within three (3) business days. In no
event shall Lender be required to release the Subject Shares other than to the
purchaser thereof against receipt of immediate cash payment therefor. In the
event Lender shall purchase Subject Shares, the purchase price therefor shall
be credited by Lender first to expenses of collection and other charges then
due and owing under the Loan Documents; second to interest due on the Revolving
Loan, Term Loan and other Obligations; and third to principal and any other
Obligations.
12. LENDER AS PLEDGOR'S ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Pledgor hereby irrevocably
appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to arrange for the transfer at any time
of the Collateral on the books of Pledgor to the name of Lender or to the name
of Lender's nominee.
-6-
88
13. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Pledgor agrees that it will cooperate with
Lender and will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all
such other stock powers, proxies, instruments, and documents and will take all
such other action, as Lender may reasonably request from time in order to carry
out the provisions and purposes hereof.
14. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS. Pledgor hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses which may be
incurred by Lender in the enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not suit is
brought.
15. NOTICES. All notices or demands by any party hereto to the other
party and relating to this Agreement shall be made in the manner and to the
addresses set forth in the Loan Modification Agreement.
16. CALIFORNIA LAW APPLICABLE. This Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of California.
17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective
when executed by Pledgor and accepted and executed by Lender.
(b) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and assigns of Pledgor and Lender; provided, however,
that Pledgor may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder without
Lender's prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be
absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Lender shall release Pledgor
from its obligations to Lender hereunder. Lender may assign its rights and
duties hereunder. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer,
negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in
rights and benefits hereunder. In connection therewith, Lender may disclose
all documents and information which Lender now or hereafter may have relating
to Pledgor or Pledgor's business.
(c) Section headings and numbers have been set forth herein
for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context,
everything contained in each Section hereof applies equally to this entire
Agreement.
(d) Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity
herein shall be construed or resolved against Lender or Pledgor, whether under
any rule of construction or otherwise, by virtue of such party's having
prepared the same. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by each
of the parties and their counsel and shall be construed and interpreted
according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish
the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
-7-
89
(e) Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from
every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the
legal enforceability of any specific provision.
(f) This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally.

negotiations, if any, are merged into this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the
Loan Documents and the other documents and agreements entered into in

JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (1) ARISING UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR

INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH,
OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW
EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR
OTHERWISE; AND THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM,
DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A
JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR
A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE
PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
RIGHT TO PURCHASE 277,500 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CVD FINANCIAL CORPORATION ("Holder") is entitled
to purchase, on or before August 31, 1998, Two Hundred Seventy Seven Thousand
Five Hundred (277,500) shares of the common stock ("Common Stock") of PDG
ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation") upon exercise
of this Warrant along with presentation of the full purchase price. The
purchase price of the common stock is equal to One and 125/100 Dollars ($1.125)
per share (the "Exercise Price"). This Warrant is granted to Holder in
consideration of Holder's execution and delivery of that certain Loan
Modification Agreement, of even date herewith, between Holder, on the one hand,
and the Corporation and PDG, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation; PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation; and ENVIRO-TECH ABATEMENT
SERVICES CO., on the other hand. This Warrant amends and restates in its
entirety the 227,500 share Warrant issued to Holder dated March 23, 1994.
This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from
time to time on or before August 31, 1998, by the Holder's presentation or
surrender of this Warrant to the Corporation accompanied by payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price for the shares as to which it is being exercised, or a
statement that the aggregate Exercise Price is being credited against amounts
due or to become due to Lender under the Loan Agreement, and instructions for
delivery of the certificates representing the shares purchased. In the event
the Warrant is exercised in part only, the Corporation shall immediately issue
and deliver to Holder a new Warrant, having the same terms and conditions as
this Warrant, evidencing the right of Holder to purchase the number of shares
as to which this Warrant has not bee exercised.
1. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares
Deliverable Upon Exercise of Warrant. The Exercise Price and the number of
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this
paragraph.
(a) In case the Corporation shall at any time after
the date of this Warrant:
SCHEDULE "H"
91
(i) Pay a dividend of its shares of its
Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of its Common Stock with respect
to its outstanding Common Stock;
(ii) Subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock;
(iii) Combine its outstanding shares of
Common Stock; or
(iv) Issue any other shares of capital
stock by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of the record date of such dividend, subdivision,
combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that
Holder shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares
which, if this Warrant had been exercised prior to such event, Holder would
have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such
dividend, subdivision, combination, or reclassification.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above
shall occur.
(b) In case the Corporation shall fix a record date
for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants or make a distribution of
shares of Common Stock to all (but not less than all) holders of its
outstanding Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price
per share (or having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible
into Common Stock) less than the market price of the shares (based on the
closing price on the record date on NASDAQ or a listed securities exchange of
the Corporation's Common Stock, or if no such quote is available, the
shareholders equity on the date of the last financial statement divided by the
total number of shares outstanding) (the "Market Price"), the Exercise Price to
be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the then
current Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which
the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so
to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible
securities so to be offered) would purchase at such Market Price and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be
offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities
so to be offered are initially convertible). Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such
rights or warrants are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record
date had not been fixed.
2
92
(c) In case of any reorganization of the
Corporation, or in case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value,
or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a
result of a subdivision or split-up or combination of the Common Stock), or in
case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity
(other than a consolidation or merger with a subsidiary or a continuing
corporation), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of all or
substantially all of the property of the Corporation, then, as a condition of
such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, or
conveyance, the Corporation or such successor or purchasing entity, as the case
may be, shall forthwith provide to Holder a supplemental warrant (the
"Supplemental Warrant") which will make lawful and adequate provision whereby
Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of such
Supplemental Warrant, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and
property which would have been received upon such reorganization,
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance by a holder
of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization,
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance. Such
Supplemental Warrant shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
paragraph. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to
successive reorganizations, reclassifications, and changes of Common Stock and
to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, or conveyances.
2. Registration Rights.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2(b),
below, at any time prior to August 31, 1998, Holder may make a written demand on
the Corporation for registration (a "Demand Registration") under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") of all or a part of the shares purchased or
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant (the "Registrable Shares"). Holder
shall be entitled to one Demand Registration only. Upon receipt of a Demand
Registration, the Corporation shall take such steps as may be reasonably
necessary to register such securities under the Act as promptly as possible,
including the preparation and filing of a registration statement ("Registration
Statement") with the Securities Exchange Commission and all necessary amendments
thereto, such registration to take effect not later than sixty (60) days
following the date of Holder's demand. In addition, the Corporation shall take
such actions as may be necessary to register or qualify the Registrable Shares
for sale in such states and jurisdictions as Holder may direct on or prior to
the effective date of such Registration Statement under any local securities or
"blue sky" laws. All costs or expenses incident to the registration,
qualification or listing of such securities shall be paid by the Corporation,
and the Corporation shall comply with all reasonable requests of Holder made in
connection with the registration, qualification, listing or
3
93
sale of Registrable Shares. Without the prior written consent of Holder, the
Corporation shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its debt or
equity securities during the ten (10)-day period prior to, or during the ninety
(90)-day period beginning on, the effective date of any Registration Statement
covering any Registrable Shares which are the subject of the Demand
Registration.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation
shall be entitled to defer the filing of a Registration Statement required by
Demand Registration for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of
such demand if: (i) the Corporation is contemplating an underwritten public
offering of its securities and, in the judgment of the managing underwriter
thereof, such filing of the Registration Statement for the Demand Registration
would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's contemplated offering;
(ii) the Corporation is in possession of material information that it deems
advisable not to disclose in a Registration Statement, provided that such
information is revealed to Holder and Holder agrees with the Corporation's
decision not to disclose such information; or (iii) the Corporation is
prohibited (pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement previously
approved by the Holder in connection with a public offering of its securities
effected within the past six (6) months) from filing such Registration
Statement.
(c) Holder shall also have the right, at any time
and from time to time until August 31, 1998, to include Registrable Shares
within any Registration Statement of the Corporation filed by the Corporation
covering shares of its Common Stock other than a Registration Statement filed
solely with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Corporation (and
provided that the form of Registration Statement is a type on which the
Registrable Shares can be registered). The Corporation shall promptly give
written notice to Holder of any intended registration of its Common Stock not
less than forty-five (45) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the
Registration Statement, and Holder shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt
thereof, notify the Corporation of the number of Registrable Shares it desires
to include in the Registration Statement. Subject to the approval of the
Corporation's managing underwriter, the Holder shall be entitled to include up
to all of its Registrable Shares, at its election, within the first
Registration Statement filed by the Corporation following the date hereof. The
number of Registrable Shares which may be included by the Holder in any such
Registration Statement may be restricted by the Corporation if, in the opinion
of the Corporation's managing underwriter, the number of shares proposed to be
sold by the Holder and by the Corporation in such offering exceeds the number
of securities which can be sold in such offering. In such event, the
Corporation shall include in the Registration Statement first the shares
offered by the Corporation, and then to the extent approved for inclusion
therein by the Corporation and its managing underwriter, that number of
Registrable Shares so approved pro rata with any other shares of the
Corporation's common stock, the holders of which have duly exercised
registration rights of the type similar to this Paragraph 2(c). All costs or
expenses,
4
94
incident to the registration, qualification or listing of such securities shall
be paid by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall comply with all
reasonable requests of Holder made in connection with the registration,
qualification, listing or sale of Registrable Shares.
(d) Prior to August 31, 1998, the Corporation shall
not grant any registration rights superior to those provided to the Holder
hereof without the prior written consent of the Holder.
3. Arbitration. In the event that a dispute arises between
the Corporation and the holder of this Warrant as to any matter relating to this
Warrant, the matter shall be settled by arbitration in Los Angeles County,
California in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association
and the award rendered by such arbitrator(s) shall not be subject to appeal and
may be entered in any federal or state court located in Los Angeles County
having jurisdiction thereof, and actions or proceedings shall be brought in no
other forum or venue.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Warrant to be
executed by its duly authorized officers effective as of the 31st day of
October, 1995.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
RIGHT TO PURCHASE 375,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
THIS CERTIFIES that CVD FINANCIAL CORPORATION ("Holder") is entitled
to purchase, on or before August 31, 1998, three hundred seventy-five (375,000)
shares of the common stock ("Common Stock") of PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. (the
"Corporation") upon exercise of this Warrant along with presentation of the
full purchase price. The purchase price of the common stock is equal to One
and 25/100 Dollars ($1.25) per share (the "Exercise Price"). This Warrant is
granted to Holder in consideration of Holder's execution and delivery of that
certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, of even date herewith, between
Holder on the one hand, and the Corporation and PDG, INC., a Pennsylvania
corporation; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation; and
ENVIRO-TECH ABATEMENT SERVICES CO., a North Carolina corporation, on the other
hand. This Warrant amends and restates in its entirely the 375,000 share
Warrant issued to Holder dated October 28, 1993, as amended on September 30,
1994.
This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from
time to time on or before August 31, 1998, by the Holder's presentation or
surrender of this Warrant to the Corporation accompanied by payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price for the shares as to which it is being exercised, or a
statement that the aggregate Exercise Price is being credited against amounts
due or to become due to Lender under the Loan Agreement, and instructions for
delivery of the certificates representing the shares purchased. In the event
the Warrant is exercised in part only, the Corporation shall immediately issue
and deliver to Holder a new Warrant, having the same terms and conditions as
this Warrant, evidencing the right of Holder to purchase the number of shares
as to which this Warrant has not been exercised.
1. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Deliverable Upon
Exercise of Warrant. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this paragraph.
(a) In case the Corporation shall at any time after the date
of this Warrant:
(i) Pay a dividend of its shares of its Common
Stock or make a distribution in shares of its Common Stock with respect to its
outstanding Common Stock;
(ii) Subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock;
(iii) Combine its outstanding shares of Common
Stock; or
SCHEDULE "G"
96
(iv) Issue any other shares of capital stock by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at
the time of the record date of such dividend, subdivision, combination, or
reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that Holder shall be
entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if this
Warrant had been exercised prior to such event, Holder would have owned upon
such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend,
subdivision, combination, or reclassification.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above
shall occur.
(b) In case the Corporation shall fix a record date for the
issuance of rights, options, or warrants or make a distribution of shares of
Common Stock to all (but not less than all) holders of its outstanding Common
Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share (or
having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible into Common
Stock) less than the market price of the shares (based on the closing price on
the record date on NASDAQ or a listed securities exchange of the Corporation's
Common Stock, or if no such quote is available, the shareholders equity on the
date of the last financial statement divided by the total number of shares
outstanding) (the "Market Price"), the Exercise Price to be in effect after such
record date shall be determined by multiplying the then current Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered
(or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to
be offered) would purchase at such Market Price and of which the denominator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for
subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be
offered are initially convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights or
warrants are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the
Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been
fixed.
(c) In case of any reorganization of the Corporation, or in
case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to
no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision
or split-up or combination of the Common Stock), or in case of any consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into another entity (other than a consolidation
or merger with a subsidiary or a continuing corporation), or in case of any sale
or conveyance to another entity of all or substantially all of the property of
the Corporation, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance, the Corporation or such
successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall forthwith provide to
Holder a supplemental warrant (the "Supplemental Warrant") which will make
lawful and adequate provision whereby Holder shall have the right thereafter to
receive, upon exercise of such
-2-
97
Supplemental Warrant, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and
property which would have been received upon such reorganization,
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance by a
holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, or
conveyance. Such Supplemental Warrant shall include provision for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this paragraph. The above provisions of this paragraph shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, and changes
of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, or
conveyances.
2. Registration Rights.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2(b), below, at
any time prior to August 31, 1998, Holder may make a written demand on the
Corporation for registration (a "Demand Registration") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act") of all or a part of the shares purchased or
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant (the "Registrable Shares").
Holder shall be entitled to one Demand Registration only. Upon receipt of a
Demand Registration, the Corporation shall take such steps as may be reasonably
necessary to register such securities under the Act as promptly as possible,
including the preparation and filing of a registration statement ("Registration
Statement") with the Securities Exchange Commission and all necessary
amendments thereto, such registration to take effect not later than sixty (60)
days following the date of Holder's demand. In addition, the Corporation shall
take such actions as may be necessary to register or qualify the Registrable
Shares for sale in such states and jurisdictions as Holder may direct on or
prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement under any local
securities or "blue sky" laws. All costs or expenses incident to the
registration, qualification or listing of such securities shall be paid by the
Corporation, and the Corporation shall comply with all reasonable requests of
Holder made in connection with the registration, qualification, listing or sale
of Registrable Shares. Without the prior written consent of Holder, the
Corporation shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its debt or
equity securities during the ten (10)-day period prior to, or during the ninety
(90)-day period beginning on, the effective date of any Registration Statement
covering any Registrable Shares which are the subject of the Demand
Registration.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall be
entitled to defer the filing of a Registration Statement required by Demand
Registration for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of such
demand if: (i) the Corporation is contemplating an underwritten public offering
of its securities and, in the judgment of the managing underwriter thereof,
such filing of the Registration Statement for the Demand Registration would
have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's contemplated offering;
(ii) the Corporation is in possession of material information that it deems
advisable not to disclose in a Registration Statement, provided that such
information is revealed to Holder and Holder agrees with the Corporation's
decision not to disclose such
-3-
98
information; or (iii) the Corporation is prohibited (pursuant to the terms of
an underwriting agreement previously approved by the Holder in connection with
a public offering of its securities effected within the past six (6) months)
from filing such Registration Statement.
(c) Holder shall also have the right, at any time and from
time to time until August 31, 1998, to include Registrable Shares within any
Registration Statement of the Corporation filed by the Corporation covering
shares of its Common Stock other than a Registration Statement filed solely
with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Corporation (and provided that
the form of Registration Statement is a type on which the Registrable Shares
can be registered). The Corporation shall promptly give written notice to
Holder of any intended registration of its Common Stock not less than
forty-five (45) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the
Registration Statement, and Holder shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt
thereof, notify the Corporation of the number of Registrable Shares it desires
to include in the Registration Statement. Subject to the approval of the
Corporation's managing underwriter, the Holder shall be entitled to include up
to all of its Registrable Shares, at its election, within the first
Registration Statement filed by the Corporation following the date hereof. The
number of Registrable Shares which may be included by the Holder in any such
Registration Statement may be restricted by the Corporation if, in the opinion
of the Corporation's managing underwriter, the number of shares proposed to be
sold by the Holder and by the Corporation in such offering exceeds the number
of securities which can be sold in such offering. In such event, the
Corporation shall include in the Registration Statement first the shares
offered by the Corporation, and then to the extent approved for inclusion
therein by the Corporation and its managing underwriter, that number of
Registrable Shares so approved pro rata with any other shares of the
Corporation's common stock, the holders of which have duly exercised
registration rights of the type similar to this Paragraph 2(c). All costs or
expenses, incident to the registration, qualification or listing of such
securities shall be paid by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall comply
with all reasonable requests of Holder made in connection with the
registration, qualification, listing or sale of Registrable Shares.
(d) Prior to August 31, 1998, the Corporation shall not
grant any registration rights superior to those provided to the Holder hereof
without the prior written consent of the Holder.
3. Arbitration. In the event that a dispute arises between the
Corporation and the holder of this Warrant as to any matter relating to this
Warrant, the matter shall be settled by arbitration in Los Angeles County,
California in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association
and the award rendered by such arbitrator(s) shall not be subject to appeal and
may be entered in any federal or state court located in Los Angeles County
having jurisdiction thereof, and actions or proceedings shall be brought in no
other forum or venue.

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
RIGHT TO PURCHASE 150,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CVD FINANCIAL CORPORATION ("Holder") is entitled
to purchase, on or before September 30, 0000 Xxx Hundred Fifty Thousand
(150,000) shares of the common stock ("Common Stock") of PDG ENVIRONMENTAL,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation") upon exercise of this Warrant
along with presentation of the full price. The purchase price of the common
stock is equal to $0.75 per share (the "Exercise Price"). This Warrant is
granted to Holder in consideration of Holder's execution and delivery of that
certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, of even date herewith, between
Holder, on the one hand, and the Corporation and PDG, INC., a Pennsylvania
corporation; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation; and
ENVIRO-TECH ABATEMENT SERVICES CO., a North Carolina corporation, on the other
hand.
This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time
and from time to time on or before September 30, 2000, by the Holder's
presentation or surrender of this Warrant to the Corporation accompanied by
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares as to which it is being
exercised, or a statement that the aggregate Exercise Price is being credited
against amounts due or to become due to Lender under the Loan Agreement, and
instructions for delivery of the certificates representing the shares
purchased. In the event the Warrant is exercised in part only, the Corporation
shall immediately issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant, having the same
terms and conditions as this Warrant, evidencing the right of Holder to
purchase the number of shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised.
1. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares
Deliverable Upon Exercise of Warrant. The Exercise Price and the number of
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this
paragraph.
(a) In case the Corporation shall at any time after
the date of this Warrant:
(i) Pay a dividend of its shares of its
Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of its Common Stock with respect
to its outstanding Common Stock;
(ii) Subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock;
SCHEDULE "F"
101
(iii) Combine its outstanding shares of
Common Stock; or
(iv) Issue any other shares of capital
stock by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of the record date of such dividend, subdivision,
combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that
Holder shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares
which, if this Warrant had been exercised prior to such event, Holder would have
owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such
dividend, subdivision, combination, or reclassification.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above
shall occur.
(b) In case the Corporation shall fix a record
date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants or make a distribution of
shares of Common Stock to all (but not less than all) holders of its outstanding
Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
(or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share (or
having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible into Common
Stock) less than the market price of the shares (based on the closing price on
the record date on NASDAQ or a listed securities exchange of the Corporation's
Common Stock, or if no such quote is available, the shareholders equity on the
date of the last financial statement divided by the total number of shares
outstanding) (the "Market Price"), the Exercise Price to be in effect after such
record date shall be determined by multiplying the then current Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered
(or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to
be offered) would purchase at such Market Price and of which the denominator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for
subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be
offered are initially convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights or
warrants are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the
Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been
fixed.
(c) In case of any reorganization of the
Corporation, or in case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value,
or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a
result of a subdivision or split-up or combination of the Common Stock), or in
case of any consolidation or merger of the
-2-
102
Company with or into another entity (other than a consolidation or merger with
a subsidiary or a continuing corporation), or in case of any sale or conveyance
to another entity of all or substantially all of the property of the
Corporation, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance, the Corporation or such
successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall forthwith provide to
Holder a supplemental warrant (the "Supplemental Warrant") which will make
lawful and adequate provision whereby Holder shall have the right thereafter to
receive, upon exercise of such Supplemental Warrant, the kind and amount of
shares and other securities and property which would have been received upon
such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, or
conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, or
conveyance. Such Supplemental Warrant shall include provision for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this paragraph. The above provisions of this paragraph shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, and changes
of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, or
conveyances.
2. Registration Rights.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2(b),
below, at any time prior to September 30, 2000 Holder may make a written demand
on the Corporation for registration (a "Demand Registration") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") of all or a part of the shares
purchased or purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant (the "Registrable
Shares"). Holder shall be entitled to one Demand Registration only. Upon receipt
of a Demand Registration, the Corporation shall take such steps as may be
reasonably necessary to register such securities under the Act as promptly as
possible, including the preparation and filing of a registration statement
("Registration Statement") with the Securities Exchange Commission and all
necessary amendments thereto, such registration to take effect not later than
sixty (60) days following the date of Holder's demand. In addition, the
Corporation shall take such actions as may be necessary to register or qualify
the Registerable Shares for sale in such states and jurisdictions as Holder may
direct on or prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement under
any local securities or "blue sky" laws. All costs or expenses incident to the
registration, qualification or listing of such securities shall be paid by the
Corporation, and the Corporation shall comply with all reasonable requests of
Holder made in connection with the registration, qualification, listing or sale
of Registrable Shares. Without the prior written consent of Holder, the
Corporation shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its debt or
equity securities during the ten (10)-day period prior to, or during the ninety
(90)-day period beginning on, the effective date of any Registration Statement
covering any Registrable Shares which are the subject of the Demand
Registration.
-3-
103
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Corporation shall be entitled to defer the filing of a Registration Statement
required by Demand Registration for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days after
receipt of such demand if: (i) the Corporation is contemplating an underwritten
public offering of its securities and, in the judgment of the managing
underwriter thereof, such filing of the Registration Statement for the Demand
Registration would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's
contemplated offering; (ii) the Corporation is in possession of material
information that it deems advisable not to disclose in a Registration Statement,
provided that such information is revealed to Holder and Holder agrees with the
Corporation's decision not to disclose such information; or (iii) the
Corporation is prohibited (pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement
previously approved by the Holder in connection with a public offering of its
securities effected within the past six (6) months) from filing such
Registration Statement.
(c) Holder shall also have the right, at any time
and from time to time until September 30, 2000 to include Registrable Shares
within any Registration Statement of the Corporation filed by the Corporation
covering shares of its Common Stock other than a Registration Statement filed
solely with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Corporation (and
provided that the form of Registration Statement is a type on which the
Registrable Shares can be registered). The Corporation shall promptly give
written notice to Holder of any intended registration of its Common Stock not
less than forty-five (45) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the
Registration Statement, and Holder shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt
thereof, notify the Corporation of the number of Registrable Shares it desires
to include in the Registration Statement. Subject to the approval of the
Corporation's managing underwriter, the Holder shall be entitled to include up
to all of its Registrable Shares, at its election, within the first Registration
Statement filed by the Corporation following the date hereof. The number of
Registrable Shares which may be included by the Holder in any such Registration
Statement may be restricted by the Corporation if, in the opinion of the
Corporation's managing underwriter, the number of shares proposed to be sold by
the Holder and by the Corporation in such offering exceeds the number of
securities which can be sold in such offering. In such event, the Corporation
shall include in the Registration Statement first the shares offered by the
Corporation, and then to the extent approved for inclusion therein by the
Corporation and its managing underwriter, that number of Registrable Shares so
approved pro rata with any other shares of the Corporation's common stock, the
holders of which have duly exercised registration rights of the type similar to
this Paragraph 2(c). All costs or expenses, incident to the registration,
qualification or listing of such securities shall be paid by the Corporation,
and the Corporation shall comply with all reasonable requests of Holder made in
connection with the registration, qualification, listing or sale of Registrable
Shares.

104
(d) Prior to September 30, 2000 the Corporation
shall not grant any registration rights superior to those provided to the Holder
hereof without the prior written consent of the Holder.
3. Arbitration. In the event that a dispute arises
between the Corporation and the holder of this Warrant as to any matter relating
to this Warrant, the matter shall be settled by arbitration in Los Angeles
County, California in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration
Association and the award rendered by such arbitrator(s) shall not be subject to

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the 31st day of
October, 1995 by XXXX XXXXX and XXXXXXX XXXXX (the "Guarantors"), having a
notice address at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, in
favor of CVD FINANCIAL CORPORATION, its successors and assigns (the "Lender"),
having a notice address at Suite 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx X0X 0X0, Xxxxxx.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Lender
has entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of October
31, 1995, with PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., a Delaware corporation; PDG, INC., a
Pennsylvania Corporation; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC., a Pennsylvania
corporation; and ENVIRO-TECH ABATEMENT SERVICES CO., a North Carolina
corporation (collectively the "Borrower"); and Guarantors (the "Loan
Agreement"), which Loan Agreement amends and restates the existing Loan
Agreements and Loan Documents described in the Loan Agreement governing the
Integra Loans and the PDGE Loans (as defined in the Loan Agreement); and
WHEREAS, the foregoing loans, as amended and restated, are now
represented by a Revolving Loan and Term Loan (the "Loans") as provided under
the Loan Agreement and are secured by certain security interests described in
the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined therein); and
WHEREAS, each of the Guarantors has previously delivered to the Lender
in connection with the PDGE Loans a separate Guaranty Agreement, dated
March 23, 1994, and has delivered to Lender's predecessor(s)-in-interest under
the Integra Loans, a Suretyship Agreement dated November 5, 1991, as amended,
respecting the Integra Loans (respectively, the "Guaranty Agreements" and
"Suretyship Agreements"); and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is executed by the Guarantors and delivered to
Lender to induce Lender to enter into the Loan Agreement and in satisfaction of
a material condition precedent to the execution and delivery of such Loan
Agreement by the Lender, and is intended to amend and restate, in their
entirety, the prior Guaranty Agreements and Suretyship Agreements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Loan by the Lender to the
Borrower, the benefits to be derived by the Guarantors therefrom and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged by the Guarantors, it is agreed as follows:
SCHEDULE "M"
112
1. The Guarantors jointly and severally guarantee to the Lender the
absolute, complete and punctual performance of the agreements of the Borrower
contained in the Loan Documents, including, without implied limitation, the
payment of all principal, interest, attorneys' fees, expenses of collection and
other sums now or hereafter owing by the Borrower to the Lender thereunder and
all other sums which may become owing by the Borrower to the Lender for any
reasons or by any cause whatsoever at any time in the future. The obligation of
the Guarantors hereunder is an absolute, unlimited, unconditional and
continuing guaranty of payment and performance by the Borrower, which shall
remain effective during the term of the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents, and shall relate to any liability or obligation of the Borrower
whatsoever to the Lender, including those which arise under successive
transactions, until this Agreement has been expressly terminated. Such
termination shall be applicable only to transactions having their inception
after the effective date of termination and shall not affect any rights or
obligations arising out of the Loan Documents or any other transactions having
their inception prior to such date even if subsequent to such termination such
obligations are modified, renewed, compromised, extended or otherwise amended
in any way whatsoever. This Agreement shall not apply to any obligation created
after actual receipt by the Lender of written notice of termination of this
Agreement as to future transactions.
2. The Guarantors agree that the Guarantors' liability hereunder will
not be released, reduced, impaired or affected by the occurrence of any one or
more of the following events: (a) the Lender's obtaining collateral from the
Borrower or any other person to secure payment or performance under the Loan
Documents; (b) the assumption of liability by any other person (whether as
guarantor or otherwise) for payment or performance under the Loan Documents;
(c) the release, surrender, exchange, loss, termination, waiver or other
discharge of any of the collateral securing payment or performance under the
Loan Documents; (d) the subordination, relinquishment or discharge of the
Lender's rights relating to the Loan Documents or any of the collateral
described therein; (e) the full or partial release from liability of the
Borrower or any other guarantor of any obligation of the Borrower to the Lender
or any other person now or hereafter liable for payment or performance under
the Loan Documents; (f) the death, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization,
disability, discharge, waiver or other exoneration of the Borrower or any other
guarantor of any obligation of the Borrower to the Lender or any other person
now or hereafter liable for payment or performance under the Loan Documents;
(g) the extension, renewal, rearrangement, increase, consolidation,
modification or substitution from time to time of the Loans or of the terms of
any one or more of the Loan Documents; (h) the failure, delay, waiver or
refusal by the Lender to exercise any right or remedy held by the Lender under
the Loan Documents; (i) the sale, encumbrance, transfer or other modification
of the ownership of the Borrower or the Borrower's assets or a change in the
financial condition or management of the Borrower; (j) the invalidity,
unenforceability or insufficiency of any one or more of the Loan Documents or
any of the collateral securing payment or performance thereunder; or (k) the
failure of the Guarantors to receive notice of any one or more of the foregoing
actions or events.
-2-
113
3. The Lender may, at the option of the Lender, proceed to enforce
this Agreement directly against the Guarantors, or any of them, without first
proceeding against the Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person
liable for payment or performance under the Loan Documents and without first
proceeding against or exhausting any collateral now or hereafter held by
the Lender to secure payment or performance under the Loan Documents, and the
Guarantors waive any and all rights that they may have to require the Lender to
take any such action as a condition to enforcement of this Agreement.
4. The Guarantors waive diligence, presentment, protest, notice of
dishonor, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, notice of
acceptance of this Agreement and all other notices of any nature in connection
with the exercise of the Lender's rights under the Loan Documents or this
Agreement. Performance by the Guarantors hereunder will not entitle the
Guarantors to any payment by the Borrower or any other guarantors of the
obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents by reason of any claim for
contribution, indemnification, subrogation or otherwise. The Guarantors waive
all rights to setoffs and counterclaims against the Lender and agrees that any
rights which the Guarantors might now or hereafter hold against the Borrower
and any other Guarantor of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan
Documents will be subordinate, junior and inferior to all rights which the
Lender might now or hereafter hold against the Borrower and any other guarantor
of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents. Without in any way
limiting the foregoing, Guarantors hereby waive any defenses arising by reason
of any claim based upon an election of remedies by the Lender which, in any
manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes the
Guarantors' subrogation rights, rights to proceed against the Borrower for
reimbursement and/or any other rights of the Guarantors to proceed against the
Borrower, against any other guarantor or against any other person or security,
including without implied limitation, any defense based upon: (a) an election
of remedies by the Lender under the provisions of Sections 580d and/or 726 of
the California Code of Civil Procedure, and/or any similar law of California or
of any other jurisdiction whereby the Lender's election to foreclose under a
power of sale or otherwise without judicial proceedings with respect to real
property may eliminate the subrogation rights that the Guarantors would
otherwise have to seek to recover from the Borrower any sums paid to the Lender
on account of the obligations guaranteed; or (b) a claim that the Lender has
failed to proceed in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with the
Lender's foreclosure upon any security.
5. The Guarantors agree that in any action brought to enforce this
Agreement, the Guarantors will pay to the Lender the reasonable attorneys'
fees, court costs and other litigation expenses incurred by the Lender unless
the court before which such enforcement action is brought makes a final
determination that Guarantors is the prevailing party in such action.
6. Nothing herein contained will limit the Lender in exercising any
rights held under any one or more of the Loan Documents. On the occurrence of
any event of default under the Loan Documents or this Agreement, the Lender
will be entitled to selectively and successively enforce any one or more of the
rights held by the Lender and such action will not be deemed a waiver of any
other right held by the Lender. All of the remedies of the Lender
-3-
114
under this Agreement and the Loan Documents are cumulative and not alternative.
If the Lender elects to foreclose any lien created by the Loan Documents, the
Lender is authorized to purchase for the account of the Lender all or any part
of the collateral covered by such lien at public or private sale and to credit
the amount recovered first against any portion of the Loan for which the
Guarantors are determined not to be liable with any balance remaining to be
applied in reduction of the liability of the Guarantors hereunder.
7. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement will
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case might be, if at any time
any payment from the Borrower of any sum due to the Lender is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender on the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or as a result of
the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar
powers with respect to the Borrower or any part of Borrower's property or
otherwise. If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the Loan
has occurred and is continuing and such acceleration is at such time prevented
by reason of the pendency against the Borrower of a proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law, the Guarantors agree that, for the purposes of
this Agreement and the obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement, the
maturity of the Loan will be deemed to have been accelerated with the same
effect as if the Lender had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents and the Guarantors will immediately pay the unpaid
balance of the Loan.
8. No payment by the Guarantors to the Lender pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement will entitle the Guarantors (by subrogation to the
rights of the Lender in respect of which such payment is made or otherwise) to
any payment by the Borrower or out of the property of the Borrower, except
after indefeasible payment in full of all amounts and obligations owing to the
Lender by the Borrower and all other guarantors of the obligations of the
Borrower under the Loan Documents.
9. The Guarantors agree to furnish to the Lender within forty-five
(45) days after the end of each calendar year, in such detail as the Lender
might reasonably request, a statement of assets and liabilities (both direct
and contingent) and of the source and amount of the annual income of Guarantors
as of December 31 of the preceding calendar year certified to be accurate by
the Guarantors.
10. This Agreement has been negotiated, executed and delivered in
the State of California, and is intended to be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California.
11. THE GUARANTORS HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (1) ARISING UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR
AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (2) IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES THERETO
OR ANY OF THEM

DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR

THE GUARANTORS HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR
CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY
PERSON MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY
COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE GUARANTORS TO THE WAIVER OF
THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
12. Guarantors are presently informed of the financial
condition of the Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent
inquiry would reveal and which would bear upon the risk of non-payment of any
obligation owing or which may become owing by the Borrower to the Lender.
Guarantors hereby covenant that Guarantors will continue to keep themselves
informed of the Borrower's financial condition, the status of other guarantors,
if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of non-payment.
Guarantors hereby waive their rights, if any, to require the Lender to disclose
to him any information which the Lender may now or hereafter acquire concerning
such conditions or circumstances, including, but not limited to the release of
or the revocation of any guaranty by any other guarantor.
13. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or application for any reason,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other
provisions herein contained and such other provisions will remain in full force
and effect. This Agreement will be binding on the Guarantors and all heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Guarantors and will
inure to the benefit of the Lender and all successors and assigns of the
Lender. The Guarantors consent to the assignment of all or any portion of the
rights of the Lender hereunder in connection with any assignment of all or any
portion of the rights of the Lender under the Loan Documents without notice to
the Guarantors. This Agreement cannot be amended except by an agreement in
writing signed by the Guarantors and the Lender.
14. This Agreement and the liability of Guarantors
hereunder shall be unlimited in amount.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantors have duly executed this
Agreement effective the date first above written.

(i) To do all acts that may be necessary to

for such purpose;
(vii) To keep separate, accurate and complete
records of the Collateral and to provide the Lender with such records and such
other reports and information relating to the Collateral as the Lender might
reasonably request from time to time;
(viii) Not to surrender or lose possession of, sell,
encumber, lease, rent or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Collateral or
right or interest therein, and to keep the Collateral free of all levies and

(x) To keep the Collateral in good condition and

-4-
121
(xi) Not to cause or permit any waste or unusual
or unreasonable depreciation of the Collateral;
(xii) At any reasonable time, on demand by the
Lender, to exhibit to and allow inspection of the Collateral or to assemble the
Collateral for delivery to the Lender or persons designated by the Lender;
(xiii) To keep the Collateral and the records
concerning the Collateral at the location(s) set forth in Exhibit "A" and not
to remove the Collateral from such location(s) without the prior written
consent of the Lender (except for motor vehicles and other equipment as
utilized in the ordinary course of business) and to give the Lender thirty (30)
days' prior written notice of any change in any Borrower's places of business
or trade name(s) or style(s) set forth in Exhibit "A";
(xiv) To comply with all laws, regulations and
ordinances relating to the possession, operation, maintenance and control of
the Collateral;
(xv) To insure the Collateral, with the Lender
named as loss payee, in form and amounts, with companies, and against risks and
liabilities satisfactory to the Lender, and hereby assigns the policies to the
Lender, agrees to deliver them to the Lender at the Lender's request, and
agrees that the Lender may make any claim thereunder, cancel the insurance on
default by the Borrowers, collect and receive payment of and endorse any
instrument in payment of loss or return premium or other refund or return, and
apply such amounts received, at the Lender's election, to replacement of
Collateral or to payment of the Revolving Loan and Term Loan;
(xvi) Borrowers acknowledge and agree that all of
the Collateral is and will remain personal property, notwithstanding the manner
of its annexation to any real property and its adaptability to the uses and
purposes for which any such real property is now or may hereafter be used, and
no present or future real property lease entered into by any Borrower as lessee
will grant the lessor therein any rights to the Collateral or prohibit its
removal, whether or not any Borrower is in default under the lease, and
Borrowers, upon Lender's request, will deliver to Lender such waivers and
consents from any such lessor and from any encumbrancer of any real property on

(xvii) Lock Box. At Lender's request, upon
occurrence of any Event of Default as defined under the Loan Agreement or under
any of the Loan Documents, which is not cured to the satisfaction of Lender
within any applicable cure period, the Borrowers shall maintain in effect at
all times with such bank or other financial institution as may be designated by
Lender, a lock box account or accounts wherein all checks, drafts, cash and
other remittances to the Borrowers, in payment of their Accounts and other
Collateral, shall be deposited immediately for or in trust for
-5-
122
the Lender until repayment in full of all sums due from the Borrowers to
Lender. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers agree that:
(A) The Borrowers and Lender shall be the
only parties entitled to receive any payments from any Account debtor
respecting all accounts.
(B) Upon demand by Lender, the Borrowers
hereby agree that all proceeds of the Accounts and other Collateral which may
be received by any Borrower shall be delivered, transferred, assigned and
endorsed in the exact form they are received, or as otherwise directed by the
Lender, and shall not be deposited or commingled with any other assets of any
Borrower. In the event a Borrower receives any payments it was unauthorized to
receive, they shall be held in trust for Lender and shall be delivered to
Lender or its designated bank or financial institution in the exact form
received except for any endorsement of the Borrower where necessary to permit
collection, which the Borrowers hereby agree to make.
(C) The Borrowers further agree to
immediately notify the account debtors under the Accounts and other Collateral
to make payments of all sums due, at Lender's option, directly to the Lender or
to the lock box account at such address as may be directed by Lender, and to
indicate on all invoices to such account debtors that all payments are to be
made directly to the Lender or to the lock box. The Borrowers shall provide
Lender with copies of any such notices concurrent with the delivery thereof to
the account debtors, and of all invoices sent after the date Lender gives notice
of its intention to implement these lock box provisions. Any lock box
maintained may, at Lender's option, be maintained in the name of any one or more
Borrowers but Lender shall have the sole access to such lock box.
(D) The Borrowers hereby jointly,
severally and irrevocably appoint the Lender the attorney-in-fact of each and
all of them to do (but the Lender shall not be obligated to and will not incur
any liability to any third party for any failure so to do) any act which any
Borrower is obligated by any Loan Document of any kind to do, including without
implied limitation, the collection, endorsement and receipt of all payments or
proceeds payable on or on account of the Accounts or the delivery of any
notices, including any notices to account debtors.
(E) The foregoing lock box and collection
provisions may be implemented by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion
upon its determination that an Event of Default has occurred and has not been
cured, and Lender shall not have any liability of any kind to any Borrower or
any other person in the event Lender has incorrectly determined that an Event
of Default exists, it being understood that the parties acknowledge that Lender
has, as of the date hereof, the sole, absolute and unrestricted right to
currently impose such lock box requirements
-6-
123
upon the Borrowers or to directly collect all Accounts by reason of the current
Events of Default respecting the Loans listed on Schedule "A" to the Loan
Agreement.
(b) Actions By Lender. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably
appoint the Lender as the Borrowers' attorney-in-fact to do (but the Lender
will not be obligated to and will incur no liability to the Borrowers or any
third party for failure so to do) any act which the Borrowers are obligated by
this Agreement to do, and to exercise such rights and powers as the Borrowers
might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including, without implied
limitation, the right to:
(i) Collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and
endorse, receive and receipt for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds
and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the
Collateral;
(ii) Enter into any extension, reorganization,
deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement pertaining to, or deposit,
surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in exchange for the Collateral;
(iii) Insure, process and preserve the Collateral;
(iv) Transfer the Collateral to the Lender's own or
the Lender's nominee's name; and
(v) Make any compromise or settlement and take any
action the Lender deems advisable with respect to the Collateral. The
appointment of the Lender as the Borrowers' attorney-in-fact will not impose on
the Lender any duty to take any action on behalf of the Borrowers or establish
any fiduciary obligation owing by the Lender to the Borrowers. The Borrowers
agree to reimburse the Lender on demand for any costs and expenses, including,
without implied limitation, attorneys' fees the Lender might incur while acting
as the Borrowers' attorney-in-fact hereunder, all of which costs and expenses
are included in the indebtedness hereby secured. It is agreed that such care
as the Lender gives to the safekeeping of the Lender's own property of like
kind will constitute reasonable care of the Collateral when in the Lender's
possession; provided, however, the Lender will not be required to make any
presentment, demand or protest, or give any notice and need not take any action
or preserve any rights against any prior party or any other person in
connection with the indebtedness hereby secured or with respect to the
Collateral.
4. Filing Information. The Borrowers represent and warrant to the
Lender that the principal place of business of each Borrower, all other
business locations, trade names and trade styles of such Borrowers, the
location of the Collateral, and the Borrower's location of books and records
concerning the Collateral are as set forth in Xxxxxxx "X."
-0-
000
0. Remedies. On the occurrence of any Event of Default which is not
cured to the satisfaction of Lender within any applicable cure period, the
Lender may, without demand for performance or any other demand, advertisement
or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of the time and place
of public or private sale) to the Borrowers or to any other person (all of
which are hereby expressly waived), forthwith foreclose the security interest
covering the Collateral or any part thereof and sell or otherwise dispose of
and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein, in one or
more parts at public or private sale or sales, or at the Lender's offices or
elsewhere, at such prices and on such terms as the Lender deems best, with the
Lender or any purchaser to have the right to purchase the whole or any part of
the Collateral free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrowers,
which right or equity is hereby expressly, waived and relinquished. The
proceeds of any such disposition or other action by the Lender will be applied
as follows:
(a) First, to the costs and expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with the retaking and sale of any of the Collateral or to the care
or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the exercise
of the rights of the Lender under this Agreement, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses;
(b) Second, to the payment of the Revolving Loan and the
Term Loan or prior secured indebtedness of Borrowers in such order as Lender
may elect;
(c) Third, to the payment of any other amounts required by
applicable law including, without implied limitation, Section 9-504(1)(c) of
the California Commercial Code; and
(d) Fourth, to the Borrowers to the extent of any surplus
proceeds. The Lender will give at least ten (10) days' notice of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which a private sale may take place,
which notice the Borrowers agree is reasonable. The Lender's rights and
remedies described in this Agreement are in addition to those possessed by the
Lender pursuant to the California Commercial Code and other applicable laws of
the State of California. All rights and remedies of the Lender will be
cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing
the Lender's interest in the Collateral.
-8-
125
6. Miscellaneous. It is further agreed as follows:
(a) Time. Time is the essence of each provision of this
Agreement.
(b) Notices. Any notice, demand or communication required
or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement will be in writing
and will be deemed to have been given when delivered personally or by
telefacsimile, receipt confirmed, to the party designated to receive such
notice, or on the date following the day sent by overnight courier or on the
third (3rd) business day after the same is sent by certified mail, postage and
charges prepaid, directed to the addresses stated in this Agreement or to such
other or additional addresses as either party might designate by written notice
to the other party. Notice to any Borrower at the address set forth on the
first page of this Agreement shall be deemed, for all purposes, to constitute
notice to all Borrowers.
(c) Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the
Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement
will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by
the Lender of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further
right of exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
(d) Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the
provisions hereof can be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except by
an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the
change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
(e) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are
severable, and if any clause or provision is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein will not be in any
way affected or impaired thereby.
(f) Assignment. This Agreement cannot be assigned by the
Borrowers in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Lender.
(g) Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding on and
will inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lender and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
(h) JURY WAIVER. THE BORROWERS HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (1)
ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS DESCRIBED HEREIN OR ANY
OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH, OR (2) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR
-9-
126
RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES THERETO OR ANY OF THEM
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT,
DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND
THE BORROWERS HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR
CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY
PERSON MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY
COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE BORROWERS TO THE WAIVER OF
THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed and delivered this
Security Agreement effective the date first above written.
