W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company and each Purchaser has entered into the Securities
Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to
which the Purchaser is purchasing the Company's 2% Secured Convertible Debenture
due 30 months after its date of issuance (the "Debenture") and Warrants; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Purchase
Agreement and to purchase the Debenture, and as a condition precedent thereto,
the Company has agreed to secure the payment and performance of its obligations
under the Purchase Agreement, the Debentures, this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents by granting to the Purchasers a first priority security
interest in the net cash proceeds from the sale of the Debenture; and.
WHEREAS, the Company, North Fork Bank (the "Restricted Account Bank") and
the Purchaser have entered into that certain Restricted Account Agreement, dated
as of the date hereof (the "Restricted Account Agreement") concerning the cash
and other monies (the "Secured Proceeds") deposited and/or accruing in the
Restricted Account referred to in such Restricted Account Agreement (the
"Restricted Account").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Release of Secured Proceeds upon Conversion of Debentures.
Upon the conversion by the Purchaser of all or part of the principal
amount of the Debenture held by the Purchaser (the "Converted Principal
Amount"), the Purchaser shall direct the Bank, pursuant to a Release
Notice (as defined in the Restricted Account Agreement), to wire an amount
of funds equal to Converted Principal Amount from the Restricted Account
to such bank account as the Company may direct the Purchaser in writing.
2. Release of Secured Proceeds upon Redemption.
(a) At any time after the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Right
(as defined in Section 5(c) of the Debenture), the Purchaser, subject to
the following sentence, may
direct the Restricted Account Bank, to release to the Purchaser an amount
equal to the principal amount of the Debenture being redeemed by the
Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company
delivers within 10 days following the occurrence of a Holder Redemption
Right notice to the Purchaser that it disputes the occurrence of the
Holder Redemption Right, then such dispute shall be resolved between the
Company and the Purchaser by arbitration conducted as follows: the
arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, before an
arbitration panel of three arbitrators, one of whom shall be selected by
the Purchaser, one of whom shall be selected by the Company, with the
remaining arbitrator to be agreed upon by the first two. The arbitration
shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Any arbitration
decision or award shall be final and conclusive as to the parties to this
Agreement and their successors and assigns; judgment upon such decision or
award may be entered in any competent court. In the event that the
arbitration shall be decided in favor of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser
shall direct the Restricted Account Bank to promptly release such Secured
Proceeds to the Purchaser. The prevailing party in such hearing shall be
reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of
such arbitration proceeding but shall not be paid out of the Secured
Proceeds.
(b) At any time after the occurrence of a Required Redemption
Notice Date (as defined in Section 5(a) of the Debenture), the Company
shall deliver a copy of the Required Redemption Notice to the Purchaser.
If, by the Option Redemption Date (as defined in Section 5(a) of the
Debenture), the Purchaser has not informed the Company in writing that it
has disputed such Required Redemption or, pursuant to the Debenture,
elects not to receive said redemption, then the Purchaser shall direct the
Restricted Account Bank to release an amount equal to the principal amount
of Debenture being redeemed by the Company. In the event that the
Purchaser disputes such Option Redemption, then such dispute shall be
resolved between the Company and the Purchaser by arbitration as conducted
as provided in the preceding paragraph. The prevailing party in such
hearing shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys' fees and
other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such arbitration proceeding but shall not be paid out of
the Secured Proceeds.
3. Release of Secured Proceeds upon Maturity or Event of Default.
(a) If, on the maturity date of the Debenture, any Debenture shall remain
unpaid, then the Purchaser shall direct the Restricted Account Bank to
release an amount equal to the principal amount of the Debenture then held
by the Purchaser, and such Secured Proceeds shall be applied to reduce
amounts due and owing to the Purchaser with respect to the Debenture and
the Purchase Agreement as follows: first, to the payment of fees and
expenses; second, to interest payable in cash with respect to the
Debenture; and third, to the outstanding principal under the Debenture.
(b) At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in
the Debenture), the Purchaser may, at its option, subject to the following
sentence, direct the Restricted Account Bank to release out of the Secured
Proceeds to the Purchaser an amount equal to
2
the principal amount of Debenture then held by the Purchaser. In the event
that the Company does deliver, within ten days after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, a notice to the Custodian and the Purchaser that it
disputes such determination, then such dispute shall be resolved between
the Company and the Purchaser by arbitration conducted as follows: the
arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, before an
arbitration panel of three arbitrators, one of whom shall be selected by
the Purchaser, one of whom shall be selected by the Company, with the
remaining arbitrator to be agreed upon by the first two. The arbitration
shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Any arbitration
decision or award shall be final and conclusive as to the parties to this
Agreement and their successors and assigns; judgment upon such decision or
award may be entered in any competent court. In the event that the
arbitration shall be decided in favor of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser
shall direct the Restricted Account Bank to release such Secured Proceeds
to the Purchaser. The prevailing party in such hearing shall be reimbursed
by the other party for its attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses
incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
arbitration proceeding but shall not be paid out of the Secured Proceeds.
4. Security Agreement.
(a) Grant. The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
grants to the Purchasers, to secure the payment and performance in full
when due of all of the Obligations (as said term is defined below), a
continuing first priority security interest in, and so pledges and assigns
to the Purchasers all of, the Secured Proceeds and any interest that
accrues thereon ("Collateral"). "Obligations" means all present and future
indebtedness, obligations, covenants, duties and liabilities of any kind
or nature of the Company to the Purchaser under this Agreement, the
Debenture and the other Transaction Documents, in each case whether now or
hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed
with others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the
Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Purchaser under the
Transaction Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries.
(b) Further Assurances. The Company agrees that at any time and
from time to time, at the expense of the Company, the Company shall
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, documents and/or
other agreements and take all further action, including any UCC or other
filings, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Purchaser may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Purchaser to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
of the Collateral.
(c) Rights and Remedies. At any time after the occurrence of an
Event of Default or Holder Redemption Right, and without any other notice
to or demand upon the Company, the Purchasers shall have, in any
jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is
3
sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect
from time to time in the State of New York (the "UCC") and any additional
rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any
applicable jurisdiction.
(d) Power of Attorney. The Company hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints the Purchasers, and each of them, and any officer, partner,
member or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
name, place and stead of the Company or in their own names, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby
gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Company,
without notice to or assent by the Company, at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default or Holder Redemption Right, to make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral in
such manner as is consistent with the UCC and as fully and completely as
though the Purchasers were the absolute owners thereof for all purposes,
and to do, at the Company's expense, at any time or from time to time, all
acts and things which the Purchasers deem necessary or useful to protect,
preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the security interest of the
Purchasers therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all
at least as fully and effectively as the Company might do.

waived any of their rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or
the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the
Purchaser. No delay or omission on the part of the Purchaser in exercising
any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or
any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future
occasion. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser with respect to the
Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other
document or instrument, shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at
such times as the Purchaser deem expedient.
