AMONG
GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION ("GE CAPITAL"),

CARDINAL HEALTH, INC. ("CARDINAL")
THIS RIDER is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the above
referenced Vendor Program Agreement, as amended from time to time (the
"Agreement") and is subject to all applicable terms and provisions of the
Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Agreement.
WHEREAS, PYXIS and CARDINAL have requested that in lieu of PYXIS
offering to sell and assign to GE CAPITAL any Rental Agreements for the period
April 1, 1998 through March 10, 1999 or at any time thereafter, PYXIS be
permitted to pay GE CAPITAL upon the execution of this Rider No. 6 an amount to
be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto (the "Quarterly New Portfolio
Aggregate Buyout Amount").
WHEREAS, PYXIS has requested that in the event that any Rental
Agreement, including any New Portfolio Rental Agreement, is terminated as a
result of an upgrading of Equipment or any other event which PYXIS and the
applicable Customer mutually agree upon, the sole responsibility of PYXIS shall
be to replace the terminated Rental Agreement with a new obligation of
comparable value to be issued by CARDINAL and to be secured by inventory
consisting of all pharmaceutical products owned by CARDINAL or its wholly owned
subsidiary, Cardinal Florida, Inc. ("Cardinal Florida"), and which is now or
hereafter located in the warehouse facility located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx,

Cardinal Florida pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement between SunTrust
Banks, Inc., as lessor, and Cardinal Florida, as lessee, dated as of August 14,
1996 (the " Lakeland Facility").
WHEREAS, the parties further wish to modify the Agreement to amend the
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement filed by GE CAPITAL to reflect its
security interest in the Rental Agreements which it has financed and the
Equipment which is subject thereto, and to amend the provision of the Agreement
which deals with GE CAPITAL's commitment to consult with PYXIS prior to entering
into a Vendor Program Agreement, Operating Agreement or similar agreement with a
competing company.
NOW THEREFORE, for the consideration set forth herein and in the
Agreement, GE CAPITAL, PYXIS and CARDINAL hereby agree as follows:

Hundred Forty Nine Dollars ($4,114,649.00) in payment of the Quarterly New
Portfolio Aggregate Buyout Amount.
(2) Payment by PYXIS of the Quarterly New Portfolio Aggregate Buyout
Amount shall relieve PYXIS of any obligation to offer to GE CAPITAL any Rental
Agreements under the Agreement for the period April 1, 1998 through March 10,
1999 or at any time thereafter, including without limitation, the obligations
under Sections A and M(2) of Rider No. 5 to the Agreement, but shall not
otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the parties pursuant to Rider No.

(3) The fifth sentence of Section K of Rider No. 5 to the Agreement is
hereby amended to read as follows:

on the termination date a termination fee (the "Termination Fee") equal

(4) Payment by PYXIS of the Quarterly New Portfolio Aggregate Buyout
Amount shall also relieve PYXIS of any further obligation to (i) pay GE CAPITAL
any late charge receivables which were transferred by GE CAPITAL to PYXIS
pursuant to the transition in account administration implemented pursuant to
Rider No. 5 to the Agreement, and (ii) notify GE CAPITAL if PYXIS elects to
outsource the account administration of any Serviced Accounts and offer GE
CAPITAL the right of first refusal to administer the Serviced Accounts for which
PYXIS proposes to outsource the account administration as provided in Section
M(1) of Rider No. 5 to the Agreement.
B. OBLIGATION TO REPLACE A TERMINATED RENTAL AGREEMENT WITH A NEW
OBLIGATION.
(1) In the event that any Rental Agreement, including any New Portfolio
Rental Agreement, is terminated as a result of an upgrading of Equipment or any
other event which PYXIS and the applicable Customer mutually agree upon, the
sole responsibility and obligation of PYXIS shall be to replace the terminated
Rental Agreement with a new obligation of comparable value to be issued by
CARDINAL which shall be in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto and incorporated
herein by reference (the "New Note"). One New Note shall be issued by CARDINAL
on or before the fifteenth day of each month to cover the aggregate obligations
of CARDINAL with respect to all Rental Agreements (if any) which were terminated
pursuant to this Section B(1) during the preceding calendar month provided that
such termination was reflected in PYXIS' books and records. Each New Note shall
(A) have an original principal amount equal to the sum of (1) the net present
value of the remaining payments to be made under the Rental Agreements which
were terminated during the preceding month (the "Terminated Rental Agreements")
as of their respective dates of termination discounted to present value at the
applicable Standard Rate of each Terminated Rental Agreement, and (2) the
accrued and unpaid amounts (if any) due under the Terminated Rental Agreements,
(B) have a rate of interest equal to the weighted average of the Standard Rates
of the Terminated Rental Agreements, and (C) be payable in monthly installments,
with each monthly installment representing the scheduled payments which were due
to be made under the Terminated Rental Agreements during such month. Each New
Note shall be secured by

inventory consisting of all pharmaceutical products now or hereafter owned by
CARDINAL or Cardinal Florida and which is now or hereafter located in the
Lakeland Facility pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement among
CARDINAL, Cardinal Florida and GE CAPITAL which is annexed hereto as Exhibit B
and incorporated herein by reference.
C. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE FINANCING STATEMENT CHANGE. GE CAPITAL
hereby agrees to prepare and file within three (3) business days following the
execution by all parties hereto of this Rider No. 6 Form UCC-2s in the State of
California which amend the original Uniform Commercial Code financing statement
filed by GE CAPITAL under the Program. The Form UCC-2s to be prepared and filed
by GE CAPITAL shall be substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C,
and shall be submitted to PYXIS for its execution. Upon return of the executed
Form UCC-2s from PYXIS, GE CAPITAL shall file the Form UCC-2s in the office in
which the original Uniform Commercial Code financing statement was first filed.
D. COMMITMENT TO CONSULT. Section C of Rider No. 3 to the Agreement is
hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"COMMITMENT TO CONSULT. PYXIS shall provide the Vendor Financial
Services division of GE CAPITAL ("VFS") with a list (each such list
being referred to as the "Competing Companies List") of those companies
or those divisions of companies which compete directly with PYXIS in
the sale of drug supply dispensing products (each such company or
division being hereinafter referred to as a "Competing Company"). Where
a Competing Company consists of a division or a subsidiary, nothing
herein shall prohibit or restrict VFS' ability to enter into a Vendor
Program Agreement, an Operating Agreement or a similar agreement with
the parent corporation or any other affiliate of such Competing
Company, provided that VFS shall not enter into a Vendor Program
Agreement, an Operating Agreement or a similar agreement with such
Competing Company except in accordance with the terms of this Section
C. PYXIS may revise the Competing Companies List at any time by
providing GE CAPITAL with a list of additional Competing Companies.
Each Competing Companies List shall be subject to GE CAPITAL's review
and approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
first approved Competing Companies List is annexed hereto as Exhibit D.
Once a Competing Companies List is approved by GE CAPITAL, GE CAPITAL
shall be obligated to give PYXIS prior written notice ("Consultation
Notice") of the intention of VFS or of any new division or affiliate
established by GE CAPITAL on or after the date hereof that offers a
domestic vendor financing program which is similar to the vendor
financing programs offered by VFS ("Newco") to enter into a Vendor
Program Agreement, Operating Agreement or similar agreement with a
Competing Company whose name appears on an approved Competing Companies
List (other than Xxxxxx International, Inc. or any division thereof).
If PYXIS opposes the entry by VFS or Newco into a Vendor Program
Agreement or an Operating Agreement or a similar agreement with such
Competing Company, then the issue shall be referred to VFS' General
Manager and PYXIS' Chief Financial Officer. If such officers cannot
resolve the issue within thirty (30) days after submission of the issue
to such officers, and VFS or Newco nevertheless elects to enter into a
Vendor Program Agreement or an Operating Agreement or a similar
agreement with such Competing Company, then PYXIS may terminate the
Agreement upon thirty (30) days notice to GE CAPITAL and shall be
entitled to exercise the rights afforded to PYXIS under Section J of
Rider No. 3 to the Agreement in the event of a
-3-
4
default by GE CAPITAL of its obligations under the Agreement. GE
CAPITAL agrees that VFS and Newco will not enter into a Vendor Program
Agreement or an Operating Agreement or a similar agreement with any
Competing Company (other than Xxxxxx International, Inc. or any
division thereof) whose name appears on an approved Competing Companies
List for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days following the
giving of the applicable Consultation Notice to PYXIS. The obligation
of GE CAPITAL to provide a Consultation Notice to PYXIS shall
automatically terminate upon the expiration of the last Owned Account."
E. CONFIDENTIALITY. The following sentence is hereby added to the end
of Section K of Rider No. 3 to the Agreement:
"If prior to the expiration of the last Owned Account, either GE
CAPITAL or PYXIS utilizes any such confidential information other than
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, or
divulges any such confidential information to a third party, then the
disclosing party shall have breached the Agreement. If the disclosing
party is GE CAPITAL, then PYXIS shall be entitled to exercise the
rights afforded to PYXIS under Section J of Rider No. 3 to the
Agreement in the event of default by GE CAPITAL."
F. PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. PYXIS, CARDINAL and GE CAPITAL agree that
the obligations of PYXIS described in this Rider No. 6 are joint and several
obligations of PYXIS and CARDINAL. In the event that PYXIS fails to perform any
of its obligations under this Rider No. 6, GE CAPITAL may demand performance by
CARDINAL who waives notice of default by PYXIS and any requirement that GE
CAPITAL be required to first proceed against PYXIS or exhaust any collateral or
security of PYXIS before requiring CARDINAL to perform any of the obligations of
PYXIS under this Rider No. 6.
G. NO FURTHER AMENDMENTS. Except as specifically amended herein, all
other provisions of the Agreement and the obligations of the parties pursuant
thereto shall remain in full force and effect.

PROMISSORY NOTE
Date: ________, ____
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CARDINAL HEALTH, INC., an Ohio corporation whose
principal executive offices are located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxx
00000 ("Debtor"), promises to pay to the order of GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL
CORPORATION or any subsequent holder hereof (each, a "Payee") at its office
located at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000 or at
such other place as Payee may designate, the principal sum of _____________
Dollars ($______), with interest on the unpaid principal balance from and
including the date hereof at the rate of ___ percent ( %) per annum, to be paid
in arrears in lawful money of the United States, in _________(_______)
consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest. The amount of each
monthly installment may vary and shall be equal to the aggregate amount of
principal and interest set forth opposite the applicable Payment Date (as
hereinafter defined) on Exhibit A annexed hereto and made a part hereof, and a
final monthly installment shall be in the amount of the total outstanding
principal and interest. The first monthly installment shall be due and payable
on ________, ____ and the following monthly installments shall be due and
payable on the same day of each succeeding month (each a "Payment Date"). The
final monthly installment shall be due and payable on __________, _________.
All payments shall be applied first to interest and then to principal. The
acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all
amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee's
right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent
time. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and will be
charged for each calendar day on which any principal is outstanding.
Time is of the essence hereof. If any installment of principal and interest
is not received within five (5) business days after the applicable Payment Date,
Debtor agrees to pay in addition to the amount of each such installment a late
payment charge of one percent (1%) of said installment, but not exceeding any
lawful maximum. In the event that (i) Debtor fails to make payment of any amount
due hereunder within ten (10) business days after the same becomes due and
payable; or (ii) Debtor defaults or fails to perform any term or condition
contained in the Security Agreement (hereafter defined), then the entire unpaid
principal sum of this Promissory Note, together with all interest accrued
thereon, and all other sums due under the Security Agreement dated May __, 1998
among Debtor and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardinal Florida, Inc., as
debtors, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as secured party (the
"Security Agreement"), shall, at the option of Payee, immediately become due and
payable, and Payee shall be entitled to exercise one or more of the remedies
provided in Section 9 of the Security Agreement.
It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable
usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Promissory Note or the Security Agreement, in no event shall
this Promissory Note or the Security Agreement require the payment or permit the
collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. If any such excess interest is contracted for, charged or received under
this Promissory Note or the Security Agreement, then (a) the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Debtor nor any other person or
entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay
the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in
-6-
7
excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (c) any
such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit
against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Debtor, at the option
of the Payee, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically
reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now
or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further
agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of
interest contracted for, charged or received under this Promissory Note or the
Security Agreement which are made for the purpose of determining whether such
rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading
in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received
from Debtor or otherwise by Payee in connection with such indebtedness;
provided, however, that if the interest rate is reduced pursuant to this
paragraph and any applicable state law is then amended or the law of the United
States of America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful
for the Payee to receive a greater simple interest per annum rate than is
allowed at the time of the reduction, Debtor agrees that on the effective date
of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum
hereunder shall be increased to the lower of the original interest rate provided
under this Promissory Note or the maximum simple interest per annum rate allowed
by the higher of the amended state law or the law of the United States of
America.
Debtor and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others (each such
person, other than Debtor, an "Obligor") who may at any time become liable for
the payment hereof jointly and severally consent hereby to any and all
extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions
or releases of, security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on this
Promissory Note or the Security Agreement or any term and provision of either,
which may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit may be
brought and maintained against any one or more of them, at the election of Payee
without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be
required first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in
order to enforce payment of this Promissory Note. Debtor and each Obligor hereby
waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of
protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, and
diligence in collecting this Promissory Note or enforcing any of the security
hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in
collection, including Payee's reasonable attorneys' fees.

interest of GE CAPITAL in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands

CAPITAL's first priority security interest in the Collateral; (viii) CARDINAL

contained in this Security Agreement to become materially inaccurate during the
term of this Security Agreement or (b) the occurrence of any other event which
would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or the Lien
granted hereunder.
5. So long as CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA are not in default under
any of their respective obligations to GE CAPITAL under the Promissory Notes or
this Security Agreement, CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA may sell Collateral which

6. CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA hereby, transfer and assign to GE
CAPITAL all representations and warranties made by the manufacturers of the
Collateral which consists of Inventory, to the extent such representations and
warranties are assignable, including any representations and warranties that the
Inventory conforms in all material respects to all federal and state rules,
regulations and standards which pertain to similar pharmaceutical products, and
will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by GE CAPITAL to enforce such
representations or warranties against such manufacturers in the event that GE

repossession, disposal or sale of such Inventory as a result of such
representations or warranties being false or incorrect when made.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA
each
-10-

reserve their rights under such manufacturers' representations and warranties
and the remedies available to them for any breach by the manufacturers of such
representations and warranties.
7. (a) CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA will at all times keep complete
and accurate records of the Collateral, its wholesale prices and its sales,
including warehouse receipts, bills of lading, certificates of title, sales and
accounts receivables, and other documents and will make such records and the

three business days advance written notice to CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA at a
reasonable time and at the location where such records and the Collateral are
maintained.
(b) CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA will provide GE CAPITAL with a
monthly report regarding the value of the Collateral, as reflected on CARDINAL's
and CARDINAL FLORIDA's books and records, which shall be prepared in accordance
with CARDINAL's and CARDINAL FLORIDA's standard accounting practices.
(c) In the event that the Lakeland Lease is not renewed upon its
expiration and the Lakeland Facility is not conveyed from SunTrust Banks to
CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA, CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA covenant to: (a)
grant to GE CAPITAL or secure the grant to GE CAPITAL by another wholly-owned
subsidiary of CARDINAL ("Newsub") of a first priority security interest in the
entire Inventory located at another facility which is owned or leased by
CARDINAL, CARDINAL FLORIDA or Newsub (the "Replacement Collateral") which has a
value which is at least equal to CARDINAL's aggregate outstanding obligations to
GE CAPITAL under the Promissory Notes, (b) duly execute and deliver to GE
CAPITAL, or secure the due execution and delivery by Newsub to GE CAPITAL, for
filing in the appropriate filing office(s) of, Uniform Commercial Code financing
statement(s) in the form of Exhibit A hereto and/or any other document which is
necessary to perfect GE CAPITAL's security interest in the Replacement
Collateral, (c) if the new facility is not owned by CARDINAL, CARDINAL FLORIDA
or Newco, secure the due execution and delivery by the lessor of the new
facility of an agreement substantially in the form of the SunTrust Banks

Security Agreement in the form of this Security Agreement if the Replacement
Collateral is pledged by Newsub.
8. CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA will pay promptly when due all taxes
and transportation, storage and warehousing charges on the Collateral and shall
keep the Collateral insured against all customary perils for at least the lesser

occurrence, or the aggregate amount CARDINAL owes to GE CAPITAL under the
Promissory Notes, with GE CAPITAL named as a loss payee, and with such policies
subject to cancellation or modification only upon thirty days prior written
notice to GE CAPITAL. Upon GE CAPITAL's request, CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA
will furnish GE CAPITAL with evidence that the required insurance is in full
force and effect. In the event of the loss, damage or destruction of the
Collateral, if the insurance proceeds received by GE CAPITAL are insufficient to
cover the aggregate amount which CARDINAL owes to GE CAPITAL under the
Promissory Notes, then within ten days following receipt of written notice from
GE CAPITAL, CARDINAL, in its sole discretion, shall either pay to GE CAPITAL an
amount equal to such deficiency or replace the lost, damaged or destroyed
Collateral with new Collateral, which shall be pledged to GE CAPITAL pursuant to
the terms of this Security Agreement. If CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA fails to
pay any of such taxes or other charges, or to keep the Collateral properly
insured, GE CAPITAL may at its option, but is not required to, correct such
default and any amounts expended by GE CAPITAL in doing so will be deemed a
CARDINAL obligation or a CARDINAL FLORIDA obligation, as the case may be, and
will be evidenced by a new promissory note to be issued by CARDINAL or CARDINAL
FLORIDA, as the case may be, on behalf of GE CAPITAL and secured by the Lien
created hereunder.

Promissory Note or CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA fails to observe or perform any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Security
Agreement and such failure continues uncured for longer than ten days after
receipt of written notice from GE CAPITAL identifying such failure; or (ii) any
representation, warranty or covenant contained herein proves to have been
materially false or incorrect when made; or (iii) any of the Collateral is
subject to, or threatened with, attachment, execution, levy or seizure in any
legal proceeding; or (iv) CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA makes an assignment for

law (the "Bankruptcy Code") or for a receiver is filed by CARDINAL or CARDINAL
FLORIDA or if any involuntary proceeding is filed against CARDINAL or CARDINAL
FLORIDA under the Bankruptcy Code and CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA fails to have
such involuntary proceeding dismissed within sixty days after it is filed; or
(v) the value of the Collateral maintained by CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA at
the Lakeland Facility at any time decreases to less than CARDINAL's aggregate

(b) duly execute and deliver to GE CAPITAL, or secure the due execution and
delivery by Newsub to GE CAPITAL, for filing in the appropriate filing office(s)
of, Uniform Commercial Code financing statement(s) in the form of Exhibit A

delivery by Newsub of a Security Agreement in the form of this Security
Agreement if the Additional Collateral is pledged by Newsub; or (vi) CARDINAL's
credit rating falls below BBB+, as defined by Standard and Poors, CARDINAL and
CARDINAL FLORIDA will be in default under this Security Agreement.
10. Upon the occurrence of any such default, GE CAPITAL may exercise
one or more of the following remedies: (i) effective as of the date of the
default, upon notice to CARDINAL, increase the rate of interest on the
Promissory Notes by the lower of one hundred (100) basis points or the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law for so long as any default shall be
continuing, (ii) declare all indebtedness then owed and secured hereby to be
immediately due and payable and proceed to enforce payment of said amount, and
(iii) exercise any other rights and remedies available to GE CAPITAL at law or
at equity, including all remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial
Code. CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA expressly waive further notice of intention
to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby and of acceleration. CARDINAL and
CARDINAL FLORIDA agree, at GE CAPITAL's request, to assemble the Collateral and
make it available to GE CAPITAL at the Lakeland Facility. GE CAPITAL, by itself
or its agent, may, without notice to CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA, enter into
any premises where the Collateral may be, and may repossess all or any portion
of the Collateral. GE CAPITAL shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, either at public or private sale,
in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, to such parties and upon such
reasonable terms and conditions as GE CAPITAL, in its sole discretion, may deem
advisable. Any notice which GE CAPITAL is required to give to CARDINAL or
CARDINAL FLORIDA under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law of
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to
constitute reasonable notice if such notice is mailed to the last known address
of
-12-
13
CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA at least ten (10) days prior to such action. Such
sales may be adjourned or continued, from time to time, with or without notice
to CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA. GE CAPITAL shall have the right to conduct such
sales at the Lakeland Facility or elsewhere and shall have the right to use the
Lakeland Facility for a reasonable amount of time without rent or charge for
such sales, provided that such sales do not unreasonably interfere with CARDINAL
FLORIDA's use of the Lakeland Facility. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA waive all claims, damages or
demands against GE CAPITAL or its agents arising out of the repossession,
retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the
negligence or willful misconduct of GE CAPITAL or such agent. Any proceeds of
any sale of Collateral by GE CAPITAL shall be applied first to the payment of
the reasonable expenses incurred by GE CAPITAL in the repossession, storage and
sale of the Collateral, including attorneys', appraisers' and auctioneers' fees,
then to the payment of all the obligations of CARDINAL to GE CAPITAL then in
default under the Promissory Notes and then to the discharge of any remaining
obligations of CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA to GE CAPITAL under this Security
Agreement. CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA shall pay to GE CAPITAL on demand any
deficiency which may remain after such sale or other disposition, and GE CAPITAL
shall remit to CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA any surplus remaining after such
sale or other disposition and the distribution described herein.
11. In no event will CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA have to pay any
charge which would exceed that lawfully permitted. If any provision, practice,
document or agreement would, in the absence of this Section, require the
payment, or permit the receipt or charging, of any interest or other charge
which would exceed the amount permitted by applicable law on the principal from
time to time actually outstanding, then: (1) this Section will control, (2)
CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA will not be obligated to pay the amount of such
charges to the extent they exceed the maximum amount permitted by law for
written contracts, (3) any excess which is collected or received will either be
applied to the unpaid principal lawfully owed by CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA
or refunded to CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA, and (4) the effective rate of
interest and other charges will be automatically reduced to the maximum rate for
written contracts permitted by applicable law. As used in this Section, the term
"interest" includes all amounts, however denominated, which under applicable law
are considered to be interest.
12. CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA shall indemnify GE CAPITAL against
and hold GE CAPITAL harmless from any and all claims, actions, suits, damages,
and liabilities, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys
fees, incurred by GE CAPITAL which arise out of or in way relate to CARDINAL's
or CARDINAL FLORIDA's handling, storage, wholesale sale or distribution of the
Collateral.
13. This Security Agreement will continue in effect for so long as any
obligation of CARDINAL to GE CAPITAL under any Promissory Note remains
outstanding. Upon the expiration (or earlier termination) of the last remaining
obligation under the last Promissory Note, the terms of this Security Agreement
(other than Sections 6 and 12 hereof) shall automatically terminate and GE
CAPITAL shall, upon CARDINAL's and CARDINAL FLORIDA's request, execute and file
UCC-3 financing statement(s) terminating its Lien on the Collateral.
14. This Security Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among GE
CAPITAL and CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all previous negotiations, proposals, commitments,
writings and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof.
15. Any modification of this Security Agreement, or waiver of any
provision herein contained, shall not be binding unless in writing and signed by
an authorized official of
-13-
14
CARDINAL, CARDINAL FLORIDA and GE CAPITAL. Any waiver by GE CAPITAL of a default
by CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA will not be a waiver of any subsequent or other
default. No right or remedy is exclusive of any other right or remedy provided
under this Security Agreement or permitted by law or equity, and all such rights
and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently, at GE CAPITAL's option. Time is of the essence with regard to each
and every provision of this Security Agreement.
16. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Security Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision, and the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect.
17. This Security Agreement and any amendment or addendum hereto may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
18. Without GE CAPITAL's prior written consent, CARDINAL and CARDINAL
FLORIDA shall not assign or transfer any of their obligations hereunder, except
that Newsub may assume certain obligations in accordance with Section 9(v)
hereof and CARDINAL FLORIDA may assign or transfer its obligations to any other
wholly-owned subsidiary of CARDINAL into which CARDINAL FLORIDA may be merged or
consolidated ("Successor Sub"), provided that the Successor Sub shall execute
and deliver to GE CAPITAL for filing in the appropriate filing office(s) a UCC-3
financing statement(s) which reflects the change of the debtor's name from
CARDINAL FLORIDA to Successor Sub and that Successor Sub shall execute an
agreement acknowledging its assumption of the obligations of CARDINAL FLORIDA
under this Security Agreement. Any attempted transfer by CARDINAL or CARDINAL
FLORIDA (except as provided in the preceding sentence) without GE CAPITAL's
prior written consent shall be null and void. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 18, this Security Agreement will be binding on, and inure to the benefit
of, GE CAPITAL's, CARDINAL's and CARDINAL FLORIDA's respective successors and
assigns.
19. This Security Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York (without regard to the conflict of laws principles
of such State). CARDINAL, CARDINAL FLORIDA and GE CAPITAL hereby consent and
submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the State of
New York, and waive all objections thereto based on improper venue or forum non
conveniens.
20. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CARDINAL , CARDINAL
FLORIDA AND GE CAPITAL HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
OF ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE PROMISSORY NOTES. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING
THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL
APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT
OR TO THE PROMISSORY NOTES. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT
MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
21. CARDINAL, CARDINAL FLORIDA and GE CAPITAL agree that the
obligations of CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA described in this Security
Agreement are joint and several obligations of CARDINAL and CARDINAL FLORIDA. In
the event that either CARDINAL or CARDINAL FLORIDA fails to perform any of its
obligations under this Security Agreement, GE CAPITAL may demand performance by
the non-defaulting party who waives notice of default and of any requirement
that GE CAPITAL be required to first proceed against the
-14-
15
defaulting party or to exhaust any Collateral or security of the defaulting
party before requiring the non-defaulting party to perform any of the
obligations of the defaulting party under this Security Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Security Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date set forth
above.
