JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL
AND PROVIDING FOR ADEQUATE PROTECTION
-------------------------------------
On the ____ day of April, 1997, there came on for consideration the
final hearing on the Debtor's Joint Motion To Approve Entry Of Joint Stipulation
And Agreed Final Order Authorizing The Use Of Cash Collateral And Providing For
Adequate Protection, with respect to the Debtor's request to use cash collateral
for the period from and after May 1, 1997 pursuant to the terms hereof (the
"Motion"). Fleet Capital Corporation ("Fleet") appeared by and through its
------- -----
counsel, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Esq. of the law firm of Xxxxxx & Xxxx, L.L.P. and C.
Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Esq. of the law firm of Parker, Hudson, Rainer & Xxxxx, L.L.P.;
the Debtor, Jayhawk Acceptance Corporation (the "Debtor"), appeared by and
------
through its counsel, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Esq. of the law firm of Weil, Gotshal &
Xxxxxx, L.L.P. Counsel for the Debtor and Fleet announced to the Court that
parties had reached agreement with respect to issues relating to the Debtor's
use of cash collateral of Fleet and Fleet's request for adequate protection
thereof, which agreement is set forth hereafter. The Court finds that notice is
sufficient and appropriate under the particular circumstances of this case. The
Court is advised that Fleet has demanded adequate protection of its interests in
its collateral to be used by the Debtor under 11 U.S.C. (S)(S) 361 and 363. The
Debtor represented to the Court that it will comply with the terms of this Joint
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 1
-------------------------------------------
Stipulation And Agreed Final Order Authorizing Use Of Cash Collateral And
Providing For Adequate Protection (this "Final Cash Collateral Order"). The
---------------------------
parties hereto stipulate and agree to the terms set forth herein, and the Court
finds that there is cause to adopt said stipulation and approve the agreement of
such parties. The Court hereby makes the following findings of fact and
conclusions of law as set forth below:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Appropriate notice and opportunity for hearing have been
given for the Motion in accordance with the provisions of (S)(S) 361 and 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code. This Court has jurisdiction of this contested matter
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. (S) 1334. This is a core proceeding as defined in 28
U.S.C. (S) 157(b)(2)(A), (M), and (O) and is governed by 11 U.S.C. (S)(S) 361
and 363.
2. On or about February 7, 1997 (such date, and the specific time of
filing on such date, being referred to as the "Petition Date"), the Debtor filed
-------------
its voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Since that date,
the Debtor has remained in possession of its property and operated its affairs
as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to 11 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1107 and 1108.
3. The Debtor, which is a Texas corporation, is a specialized
financial services company, principally engaged in the business of serving
automobile dealers in the sub-prime credit market, providing an indirect
financing source to buyers of used vehicles with limited access to traditional
sources of consumer credit. The Debtor also owns 100% of the shares of Jayhawk
Medical Acceptance Corporation ("Jaymed") and Jayhawk Services, Inc.
------
("Jayserv"), neither of which have filed for bankruptcy protection. Jaymed is a
-------
start-up subsidiary in a large new market of purchasing, what the Debtor
maintains are, creditworthy receivables from plastic surgeons, other doctors and
dentists. The Debtor maintains that Jayserv is the employer of all of the
employees of Jaymed and Debtor.
4. No party disputes that during 1996, Jayhawk completed two
securitization transactions, whereby it created Jayhawk Funding Trust I, a
Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), selling contracts (the "Trust
----- -----
Contracts") to the Trust having an aggregate principal balance of approximately
---------
$177 million. The Debtor maintains that the Trust sold approximately $42
million in aggregate principal face amount of notes (the "Series A Notes") to
--------------
investors in March 1996, and the Trust sold approximately $47.9 million in
aggregate principal face amount of notes (the "Series B Notes") to a single
--------------
investor in August 1996.
5. The Debtor maintains that neither the Trust Contracts nor any
collections from such Trust Contracts are property of the estate. The legal and
beneficial ownership interest (shares) in the Trust holding the Trust Contracts
is owned by the Debtor. The Debtor also services the Trust Contracts owned by
the Trust, receiving income in the form of servicing fees.
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 2
-------------------------------------------
6. The Debtor maintains that Prudential Securities Credit
Corporation ("Prudential") holds a valid and properly perfected security
----------
interest in the Debtor's legal and beneficial ownership interest (shares) in the
Trust and the Trust shares, securing the principal sum of approximately $5
million as of the Petition Date.
7. The Debtor's operation of its business requires that it use Cash
Collateral (as defined below) of Fleet immediately under the terms hereof to
preserve the assets of its estate and to enable its operations to continue from
and after May 1, 1997. Without the use of its Cash Collateral, the Debtor will
suffer irreparable harm.
8. The Debtor acknowledges the debts owed to Fleet defined as the
"Pre-Petition Indebtedness" in Fleet's first objection filed with the Court on
February 11, 1997 (hereafter "Fleet Objection 1"), and acknowledges that Fleet
-----------------
is oversecured. Fleet maintains that it has a first, valid, prior, and perfected
security interest in and lien on the Fleet Collateral (as defined in Fleet
Objection 1), and all proceeds thereof, including cash collateral derived
therefrom that constitute "cash collateral" within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. (S)
363(a) (subject to the provisions of paragraph 3(f) below, the "Cash
----
Collateral"), to secure repayment of the Pre-Petition Indebtedness.
----------
9. The Debtor admits, acknowledges, and stipulates that the
principal amount of the Pre-Petition Indebtedness, as of the Petition Date, owed
by the Debtor to Fleet (under the Loan Documents, as defined in Fleet Objection
1) is $63,079,797.34 in unpaid principal, exclusive of accrued but unpaid
interest, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses.
10. Fleet maintains that the Pre-Petition Indebtedness is secured by
first, valid, prior, and continuing perfected security interests in and liens on
all of the Fleet Collateral and the proceeds and products thereof, all as more
fully described in the Loan Documents, and any and all rents, income, or
proceeds derived therefrom, and accessions, substitutions, renewals,
improvements, replacements, and additions thereto, then owned or thereafter
acquired by the Debtor, and all rights and property of any kind forming the
subject matter of any of the foregoing existing as of the Petition Date,
including the Cash Collateral and all post-petition proceeds and products
thereof under 11 U.S.C. (S) 552(b) (collectively, the "Pre- Petition
-------------
Collateral"). Fleet and the Debtor maintain that the Pre-Petition Indebtedness
----------
is fully secured by the Pre-Petition Collateral. The Pre-Petition Collateral
continues to secure the repayment of the Pre-Petition Indebtedness as evidenced
by the Loan Documents.
11. Based upon descriptions of the Pre-Petition Collateral in the
parties' pleadings and statements by counsel for the Debtor and for Fleet, the
Pre-Petition Collateral includes a large amount of consumer chattel paper, much
of which is located in a secure storage facility at Inwood Security Vaults, Inc.
Fleet has consented to Debtor's access to the Fleet Collateral and the Post-
Petition New Contracts (as defined hereafter) located at the storage facility,
subject to the conditions set forth below. Those contracts funded by the Debtor
from and after the Petition Date which are funded with any Cash Collateral are
hereafter referred to as the "Post-Petition New Contracts." Auto contracts which
---------------------------
the Debtor reported in Fleet's Borrowing Base as Fleet's
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 3
-------------------------------------------
collateral as of the Petition Date, but which the Debtor had not purchased as of
the Petition Date, and that are estimated by the Debtor as of the Petition Date
to be in the amount of $10 million, less $3.4 million of such auto contracts
later unwound by the Debtor, together with auto contracts purchased by the
Debtor from the Petition Date through and including February 28, 1997, shall
hereafter be referred to, as the "Additional Fleet Contracts." As of this date,
--------------------------
all of the Additional Fleet Contracts have been funded by the Debtor. Hereafter,
the term "Existing Fleet Collateral" shall mean the Pre-Petition Collateral,
-------------------------
the Post-Petition New Contracts, and the Additional Fleet Contracts, and any
"cash collateral" derived therefrom within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. (S) 363(a).
12. On February 11, 1997, this Court entered a certain Order
Authorizing The Use of Cash Collateral And Providing For Adequate Protection
(the "First Interim Cash Collateral Order"), which governed the Debtor's use of
-----------------------------------
Cash Collateral for the period from February 1, 1997 to February 28, 1997.
13. On or about March 14, 1997, this Court entered a certain Second
Interim Order Authorizing The Use of Cash Collateral And Providing For Adequate
Protection (the "Second Interim Cash Collateral Order"), which governed the
------------------------------------
Debtor's use of Cash Collateral for the period from March 1, 1997 to March 31,
1997.
14. On or about March 25, 1997, this Court entered a certain Third
Interim Order Authorizing The Use of Cash Collateral And Providing For Adequate
Protection (together with the Supplement thereto, collectively, the "Third
------
Interim Cash Collateral Order"), governing the Debtor's use of Cash Collateral
-----------------------------
for the period from April 1, 1997 to April 30, 1997.
15. The Debtor and Fleet have reached agreement with respect to the
Debtor's use of Cash Collateral for the period from and after May 1, 1997
pursuant to the terms set forth herein and in that certain Settlement Agreement,
by and among Fleet, the Debtor, and Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, dated April ___, 1997 (the
"Settlement Agreement"); and the Debtor has sought approval from this Court. The
--------------------
terms and provisions of the Settlement Agreement and the Exhibits thereto are
incorporated herein, but the Settlement Agreement is not binding upon the
parties thereto unless authorized pursuant to a separate order of this Court.
16. This Final Cash Collateral Order shall be effective on the date
that this Court signs this Final Cash Collateral Order.
WHEREUPON, the Court makes the following conclusions of law:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
A. Fleet, as the holder of a secured claim against the Debtor, is
entitled to adequate protection of its interests in the Fleet Collateral under
11 U.S.C. (S)(S) 361 and 363, as provided below.
B. Fleet agrees that it is adequately protected for the period from
and after May 1, 1997 by the provisions of this Final Cash Collateral Order.
Fleet should be granted a
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 4
-------------------------------------------
replacement lien in any Post-Petition New Contracts which are funded by the use
of its Cash Collateral and should receive the same reports from the Debtor as
the Debtor had furnished pre-petition, together with such reports as provided
below.
C. The entry of this Final Cash Collateral Order is in the best
interests of the Debtor, its creditors, and its estate, and it is necessary to
the continued operations of the Debtor's business.
BASED UPON THE FOREGOING, it is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND
DECREED:
1. Fleet shall be entitled to all of the benefits, rights,
protections, and liens of the First Interim Cash Collateral Order, the Second
Interim Cash Collateral Order, and the Third Interim Cash Collateral Order, each
of which shall continue in effect in accordance with the terms thereof.
2. Subject to the limitations and conditions hereof, the Debtor is
hereby authorized to use the Cash Collateral in accordance with the provisions
set forth in the Budget, with no single line item expenditure to exceed 10% of
the Budget amount as of the end of each month. As used herein, the following
terms have the following meanings:
(a) The term "Budget" means initially, for the first Budget
------
Period, the budget which is attached to this Final Cash Collateral
Order as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof, and, thereafter, either
-----------
(i) any future budget that is mutually agreed to by Fleet
and the Debtor in writing, or
(ii) if no mutual agreement has been reached in writing as
of the end of any applicable expiring Budget Period, then such
budget that is for substantially the same purposes and in
substantially the same amounts for such line items as are set
forth in Exhibit "A" attached to this Final Cash Collateral
-----------
Order.
(b) The term "Budget Period" means initially the period from and
-------------
after May 1, 1997 through the end of the period provided for in the
initial Budget, and, thereafter, the period as may be provided for in
any future Budget.
The Debtor shall be entitled to use unspent funds, denominated in the budgets
attached to the Second Cash Collateral Order and the Third Interim Cash
Collateral Order as "Available for Post-Petition Fundings," for the respective
periods from March 1, 1997 to March 31, 1997 and April 1, 1997 to April 30, 1997
for the same purposes during the period from May 1, 1997 to July 31, 1997 in
accordance with this Final Cash Collateral Order, in addition to funds in such
amounts and for such purposes as provided in the attached Budget, in accordance
with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Debtor
serves as servicing agent for the Trust, the Debtor is further authorized and
directed to continue to collect as servicing agent for
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 5
-------------------------------------------
the Trust and segregate and pay over to the Trust all collections attributable
to the Trust Contracts.
3. (a) Subject to subparagraphs 3(e) and 3(f) below, as adequate
protection to Fleet and to safeguard Fleet against any diminution in the
value of the Pre-Petition Collateral from the use of Cash Collateral, Fleet
shall have (in addition to its lien upon the Pre-Petition Collateral as
security for its claim against the Debtor) and is hereby granted valid and
perfected continuing and replacement security interests and liens in and
upon all of the Post-Petition New Contracts and proceeds thereof to the
extent of the Cash Collateral expended in purchasing such Post-Petition New
Contracts. The Debtor shall provide to Fleet a daily listing of the
following:
(i) all of the Post-Petition New Contracts funded with Cash
Collateral;
(ii) those contracts that are booked or processed by the Debtor
and have not been funded (the "Unfunded Contracts");
------------------
(iii) those contracts intended by the Debtor to become funded in
the future by the Debtor;
(iv) those contracts intended to become "Unwound Contracts" (as
defined below) in the future; and
(v) those contracts that were pledged as collateral to Fleet
as of February 7, 1997.
The Debtor shall separately identify the collections of the Post-Petition New
Contracts, and provide to Fleet the quality of information previously required
in the form of the Borrowing Base Reports. For the period from and after March
1, 1997, the Debtor shall provide daily to Fleet two (2) separate Borrowing Base
Reports:
(i) one calculating the Borrowing Base from and after February
28, 1997 with respect to Fleet collateral consisting of the Post-
Petition New Contracts (exclusive of the Additional Fleet Contracts);
and
(ii) the other calculating the Borrowing Base with respect to
Fleet collateral existing as of February 28, 1997 (inclusive of the
Additional Fleet Contracts), with each report not distinguishing
whether such contracts have been funded or not funded.
The replacement liens granted hereby are retroactive to the Petition Date. A
contract which is unwound by the Debtor (an "Unwound Contract") is a contract
----------------
which results in the Debtor returning to a dealer a previously tendered
installment contract, title, and accompanying documentation for such
transaction.
(b) As further adequate protection for the Debtor's use of Cash
Collateral, the Debtor shall pay to Fleet monthly interest as provided below, on
the first day of the month. In addition
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 6
-------------------------------------------
to the interest payments, the Debtor shall pay to Fleet, as adequate protection
to protect Fleet's interest in the Fleet Collateral, the principal amounts shown
below for the periods corresponding thereto. If the Debtor fails to pay for any
week the minimum of $500,000 due Fleet for such week as set forth in clause
(iii) below, then the Debtor may not use any Cash Collateral to purchase Post-
Petition New Contracts until Fleet is brought current. If the Debtor is more
than one weekly payment in arrears, the Debtor's right to use Cash Collateral
shall be limited to such amounts as Fleet, in its sole discretion, may authorize
the Debtor to use. No Cash Collateral may be used in any month unless during the
immediately preceding month Fleet has received all payments of principal and
interest required to be paid to Fleet for such preceding month. Fleet's Cash
Collateral may be used for pre-petition repossession claims pursuant to a
separate Order of this Court providing for same. The Debtor shall make the
following payments to Fleet:
(i) Interest. Accrued interest will continue to be paid to
--------
Fleet monthly, in arrears, on the first day of the month, commencing
June 1, 1997, at the non-default rate of interest provided in the Loan
Documents, without waiver of Fleet's right to assert the default rate
of interest as provided in the Loan Documents.
(ii) Monthly Principal Amortization. The outstanding
------------------------------
prinicpal balance of Fleet's claim (which is stipulated by the parties
hereto to be $63,079,797.34 in principal amount as of the Petition
Date) shall be due and payable to Fleet in monthly installments, the
aggregate amount of which during any particular month shall be not
less than the amount specified for such month as set forth below:
PER MONTH
MONTH: INSTALLMENT AMOUNT
------ ------------------
May through July, 1997 $4,000,000
August, 1997 $3,500,000
September, 1997 $3,250,000
October and November, 1997 $3,000,000
December, 1997 $2,750,000
January, 1998 $2,500,000
February, 1998 $2,000,000
March through August, 1998 $3,000,000
(iii) Weekly Principal Amortization. Weekly partial payments of
-----------------------------
the principal payment due for any month will be made to Fleet in the
amount of $500,000 per week, with the balance of such monthly payment
due not later than the end of the month. The foregoing amortization
will commence immediately.
(iv) Mandatory Prepayments. In addition to the principal
---------------------
payments provided for above, mandatory prepayments of principal will
be due and payable on a quarterly basis, on the 15th day of each
March, June, September and December, beginning June 15, 1997. The
amount of each mandatory prepayment shall be equal to fifty percent
(50%) of
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 7
-------------------------------------------
Excess Cash Flow as defined below, with the first such payment, if any, for
the payment due June 15, 1997 to be placed into a separate segregated,
blocked account subject to Fleet's liens, at Texas Commerce Bank, and
distributed to Fleet on the earliest to occur of the following:
(i) the effective date of the Plan (as defined below),
(ii) an Event of Default (as defined below), or
(iii) September 15, 1997.
All such mandatory prepayments for future periods shall be paid to Fleet
when due. "Excess Cash Flow" will be measured on a cumulative basis,
beginning March 1, 1997 and continuing thereafter, and will consist of all
of the "Net Collections" received by the Debtor since March 1, 1997 through
the end of the month immediately preceding any principal prepayment due
date. As a result of the cumulative aspect of measuring Net Collections,
the Debtor will be entitled to a credit to each mandatory prepayment due,
which credit will be equal to the amount of mandatory prepayments
previously made pursuant to the requirements of this paragraph. In no
event, however, will this credit calculation require Fleet to refund any
mandatory prepayments by the Debtor. All mandatory prepayments will be
applied to principal amounts due in the inverse order of maturity. As used
herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
"Collections" shall mean all interest collections, all principal
-----------
collections, all other collections, and all recoveries net of expenses
of the each case, from (i) the Debtor's auto contracts owned as of the
Petition Date, (ii) the auto contracts owned by the Trust as of the
Petition Date, and (iii) the Additional Fleet Contracts.
"Excess Cash Flow" shall mean the amount, if any, by which actual
---------------- ------
Net Collections exceed Projected Net Collections.
"Gross Collections" shall mean the Collections.
-----------------
"Net Collections" shall mean the remainder of (i) Gross
---------------
Collections, less (iii) Collections that are retained by the Trust and
not distributed to the Debtor.
"Projected Gross Collections" shall mean the Debtor's projected
---------------------------
estimate of Gross Collections. The Debtor's projected estimate of such
collections is attached to this Final Cash Collateral Order as Exhibit
-------
"C" and made a part hereof.
---
"Projected Net Collections" shall mean the Debtor's projected Net
-------------------------
Collections, which form the basis for the calculation of Excess Cash
Flow and
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 8
-------------------------------------------
which are attached to this Final Cash Collateral Order as Exhibit "B"
-----------
and made a part hereof.
(c) As further adequate protection to Fleet, and as a condition to
Debtor's ongoing right to use Cash Collateral, the Debtor agrees to achieve
Collections on the Debtor's auto contracts for the three (3)-month period
consisting of the calendar month then ended plus the immediately preceding two
calendar months (i.e., a rolling three (3)-month period), of not less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of Projected Gross Collections for the same rolling
three (3)-month period. If a default occurs by reason of a breach of this
covenant, then the Debtor will have the opportunity to cure this default for a
period of five (5) days from the earlier of the date of actual delivery, or, if
------
not delivered as required, the date of required delivery (which date will be not
--------
later than fifteen (15) days after the end of each month), to Fleet of a monthly
compliance certificate, executed by the President, Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, or Vice President and Comptroller of the Debtor for the
applicable month then ended, by making a prepayment (a "Cure Payment") on the
------------
outstanding principal amount of the Fleet indebtedness in an amount equal to the
difference between eighty-five percent (85%) of the Projected Gross Collections
and the actual amount of Gross Collections. All such prepayments will be
------
applied to principal amounts due in the inverse order of maturity. The first
measurement of this covenant will be conducted for the three (3) month period
that ends on May 31, 1997. This covenant is referred to as the "Gross
-----
Collections Covenant." If the Debtor makes a Cure Payment, as provided above,
--------------------
then, for purposes of subsequent calculations of the Gross Collections Covenant
that involve any of the calendar months that were included in the calculation of
the Gross Collections Covenant with respect to which a Cure Payment was made,
the Collections, as a percentage of Projected Gross Collections, for any of such
months, will be deemed to be 85%; it being the intention of the parties to avoid
creating a default for a breach of the Gross Collections Covenant that is
calculated for a calendar month subsequent to a calendar month for which the
Debtor cured a default under the Gross Collections Covenant by making a Cure
Payment.
(d) As of July 31, 1997, and as additional adequate protection to
Fleet, cash collateral issues in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the
Debtor has agreed in the Settlement Agreement and by the terms hereof that it
will diligently and in good faith seek confirmation of the Debtor's Plan of
Reorganization attached to the Settlement Agreement as an exhibit thereto, or as
modified by the mutual agreement in writing of Fleet and the Debtor (the
"Plan"). Fleet has agreed to support the Plan so long as each of the conditions
----
precedent set forth in the Settlement Agreement are satisfied.
(e) If the effective date of the Plan does not occur on or before July
31, 1997, then Fleet shall have, and the Debtor shall be deemed to have granted
to Fleet, a replacement lien on and security interest in the Debtor's legal and
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust and the rights to distribution
therefrom (subject only to Prudential's existing lien thereon securing its
existing indebtedness), to the extent of an amount equal to all Cash Collateral
used by the Debtor during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case and all Cash
Collateral on hand as of July 31, 1997, less all adequate protection payments of
----
principal and interest made to Fleet. Contemporaneously with the Debtor's grant
to Fleet of such replacement lien, as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence,
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 9
-------------------------------------------
(i) the Debtor and Fleet shall implement the cash management
procedures as contemplated by and provided in Section 5.2.4 of the Loan and
Security Agreement to be executed by the Reorganized Debtor and Fleet on or
before the effective date of the Plan and in the form attached as Exhibit B
to the Settlement Agreement (the "New Fleet Loan Agreement"); and
------------------------
(ii) on and after July 31, 1997, the Existing Fleet Collateral shall
be deemed, by the terms of this Final Cash Collateral Order, to be replaced
by all of the "Collateral" as defined in the New Fleet Loan Agreement
(hereinafter the "Reconstituted Fleet Collateral") to secure the Pre-
------------------------------
Petition Indebtedness, and Fleet shall be deemed to release, by the terms
of this Final Cash Collateral Order, its liens on any of the Existing Fleet
Collateral that does not constitute Reconstituted Fleet Collateral.
(f) After July 31, 1997, in the event the Plan does not become effective
on or before July 31, 1997, the term "Cash Collateral," as used in this Final
Cash Collateral Order, shall mean "cash collateral" within the meaning of 11
U.S.C. (S) 363(a) that is derived from the Reconstituted Fleet Collateral, other
than cash distributed to the Debtor's operating account in accordance with
subparagraph 3(e)(i) above and Section 5.2.4 of the New Fleet Loan Agreement. On
and prior to July 31, 1997, the term "Cash Collateral," as used in this Final
Cash Collateral Order, shall mean "cash collateral" within the meaning of 11
U.S.C. (S) 363(a) that is derived from the Existing Fleet Collateral, unless the
Plan becomes effective before such date.
(g) Fleet shall be entitled to all of its rights and protections with
respect to the unwinding of contracts as provided in the Second Interim Cash
Collateral Order. The Debtor agrees and stipulates that (i) the total amount of
unfunded contracts pledged to Fleet as collateral and included in the Borrowing
Base as of February 7, 1997 was approximately $10 million; and (ii) of that
approximately $10 million amount, approximately $6.6 million of such contracts
have now been funded by the Debtor, constitute Post-Petition New Contracts, and
are part of Fleet's collateral.
4. This Final Cash Collateral Order shall be sufficient and conclusive
evidence of the priority, perfection, and validity of all of the security
interests in and liens upon the property of the estate of the Debtor granted to
Fleet as set forth in this Final Cash Collateral Order, and the liens and
security interests granted and created herein shall, by virtue of this Final
Cash Collateral Order, constitute valid and perfected security interests without
the necessity of creating, filing, recording, or serving any financing
statements or other documents that might otherwise be required under federal or
state law in any jurisdiction or the taking of any other action to validate or
perfect the security interests and liens granted to Fleet in this Final Cash
Collateral Order and the Loan Documents. If Fleet shall, in its discretion,
elect for any reason to file any such financing statements or other documents
with respect to such security interests and liens, the Debtor is authorized and
directed to execute, or cause to be executed, all such financing statements or
other documents upon Fleet's reasonable request, and the filing, recording, or
service thereof (as the case may be) of such financing statements or similar
documents shall be deemed to have been made at the time of and on the Petition
Date, and the signature(s) of any
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 10
-------------------------------------------
person(s) designated by the Debtor, whether by letter to Fleet or by appearing
on any one or more of the agreements or other documents respecting the security
interest and lien of Fleet in and upon the Collateral, shall bind the Debtor and
its estate. Fleet may, in its discretion, file a certified copy of this Final
Cash Collateral Order in any filing or recording office in any county or other
jurisdiction in which the Debtor has real or personal property, and, in such
event, subject to applicable law, the subject filing or recording officer is
authorized and directed to file or record such certified copy of this Final Cash
Collateral Order.
5. Subject to subparagraphs 3(e) and 3(f) above, Inwood Security Vaults,
Inc., the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement between the Debtor and Fleet,
dated April 6, 1995, is authorized and directed to allow the Debtor to enjoy all
privileges it has under said Custodial Agreement to Fleet's collateral held by
said Custodian, subject to the following:
(1) any use or disposition of the Accounts and Auto Titles (as
defined in the Custodial Agreement) that are removed from the possession of
the Custodian (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) will be solely in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement;
(2) the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Accounts and Auto
Titles that are subject to the terms of the Custodial Agreement are, and
shall remain Cash Collateral; and
(3) perfection and priority of Fleet's security interest in and to
the Accounts and Auto Titles shall continue and be preserved and
maintained, notwithstanding any interruption or lapse of Fleet's perfection
that otherwise would occur following any use or disposition of the Accounts
or Auto Titles other than as specifically provided in the Custodial
Agreement.
6. (a) The Debtor shall be bound to cooperate immediately with Fleet to
provide Fleet not less than two (2) business days after the end of each
preceding Friday during the term of this Final Cash Collateral Order with
all reports reasonably requested by Fleet, including, without limitation,
financial and collateral information, and such information described below.
Fleet shall have the right to visit the Debtor's business from time to time
during ordinary business hours and conduct audits after reasonable notice
and accompanied by an officer of the Debtor. The Debtor shall be bound to
provide to Fleet the following:
(i) on a weekly basis, the Debtor's actual performance and
results of operations as compared to its Budget, as to each and every
line item on the Budget;
(ii) management's report and explanation of the variance, if
any, from its Budget;
(iii) copies of all reports made to the United States Trustee,
and
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 11
-------------------------------------------
(iv) any financial records or statements regularly generated in
the normal course of its business.
The Debtor shall continue to be bound to furnish to Fleet reports as it had
furnished pre-petition including, without limitation, a daily report of
collections and a report in the form attached as Exhibit "B" to the Fleet
Objection 1. Each day the Debtor shall provide to Fleet Borrowing Base
Reports, including an aging of the auto contracts and accompanied by copies
of the underlying work papers which substantiate the numbers on each such
report, to the extent provided pre-petition. Not less than fifteen (15)
days after the end of each month, the Debtor shall provide to Fleet reports
pertaining to Net Collections, Gross Collections, Excess Cash Flow, the
Debtor's performance of the Gross Collections Covenant, the monthly static
pool analysis, and the payment status of each auto contract (including an
aging of each auto contract.) If the Debtor fails to provide timely to
Fleet the reports as provided in this paragraph 6(a), the Debtor shall have
five (5) business days after written notice from Fleet of such default to
cure same and provide such reports to Fleet, but during such period of
default, the Debtor shall have no right to use any Cash Collateral.
(b) The Debtor shall not fund the expenses of Jaymed directly or
indirectly through Jayserv.
(c) Unless authorized pursuant to a separate Order of this Court, the
Debtor has no authority to pay pre-petition debts owing to (i) auto
repossession contractors, (ii) collection system consultants, or (iii)
dealers on account of their Dealer Agreements with the Debtor.
(d) Unless authorized pursuant to a separate Order of this Court, the
Debtor shall not fund any sums for legal, accounting or investment banking
services.
7. In the event of the occurrence of any of the following:

Collateral Order;
(b) conversion of the Chapter 11 case of the Debtor to a case under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(c) the appointment of a trustee pursuant to Section 1104(a)(1) or

AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 12
-------------------------------------------
(e) failure to file the Plan on or before April 18, 1997, amendment
of the Plan in a manner that is unacceptable to Fleet and is inconsistent
with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, or withdrawal of the Plan; or
(f) failure to support and diligently and in good faith seek
confirmation of the Plan
(any of the foregoing being referred to in this Final Cash Collateral Order,
individually, as an "Event of Default" and, collectively, as "Events of
---------------- ---------
Default"); then (unless such Event of Default is specifically waived in writing
-------
by Fleet, which waiver shall not be inferred from any other action, inaction, or
acquiescence by Fleet) upon or after the occurrence of any of the foregoing,
(x) with respect to a failure by the Debtor to make timely payments
of principal and interest as provided for in paragraphs 3(b) or 3(c) above
or timely provide such reports to Fleet as provided in paragraph 6(a)
immediately above, the Debtor's breach of its covenants in any of such
paragraphs shall result in the immediate cessation of any Cash Collateral
use by the Debtor, or
(y) with respect to any breach of the above Events of Default
exclusive of those referred to in the subparagraph (x) above, after Fleet's
giving three (3) business days' notice, served by overnight delivery
service or telefax upon the Debtor, the Debtor's counsel, counsel to the
Unsecured Creditors' Committee, and the United States Trustee, the Debtor
shall not use any of the Cash Collateral without further order of the
Court, which shall not issue until after notice and a hearing.
Any further order of this Court governing the use of Cash Collateral shall
afford adequate protection to Fleet on terms no less favorable than those set
forth in this Final Cash Collateral Order.
8. The provisions of this Final Cash Collateral Order shall inure to the
benefit of the Debtor and Fleet and shall be binding upon the Debtor and its
successors and assigns, and shall also be binding upon all creditors of the
Debtor and other parties in interest from and after the date of the signing of
this Final Cash Collateral Order.
9. Nothing contained herein shall preclude Fleet from making appropriate
application or request to the Court for such other relief as shall be necessary
to protect adequately its interests, including, without limitation, including,
but not limited to, objecting to the Debtor's violation of the terms of this
Final Cash Collateral Order and any use of the Cash Collateral after the Budget
Period.

authority to use Cash Collateral shall expire on the earliest to occur of the
following:
(i) the effective date of the Plan;
JOINT STIPULATION AND AGREED FINAL ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CASH COLLATERAL, ETC - PAGE 13
-------------------------------------------
(ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default not relating to the
Debtor's breach of subparagraphs 3(b), 3(c) or 6(a) above, in consequence
of which Fleet gives notice pursuant to paragraph 7 of this Final Cash
Collateral Order ;
(iii) the Debtor's failure to pay timely to Fleet all principal and
interest as set forth in paragraph 3(b) above, until such default is cured,
at which time, if cured, the Debtor may use Cash Collateral without further
authorization from this Court;
(iv) the Debtor's failure to provide timely to Fleet such reports

from this Court.
11. This Court hereby expressly retains jurisdiction over all persons

Bankruptcy Court under the Bankruptcy Code to enforce the terms of this Final
Cash Collateral Order and to adjudicate any and all disputes in connection
therewith.

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is made this ____ day of ______, 1997, by
and between FLEET CAPITAL CORPORATION ("Lender"), a Rhode Island corporation
with an office at 2711 Xxxxxxx Avenue, Suite 2100, LB 21, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000;
and JAYHAWK ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION ("Borrower"), a Texas corporation with its
chief executive office and principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have
the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A, General Definitions.
SECTION 1. TERM LOAN
Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lender agrees to make available upon Borrower's request therefor a
Term Loan, as follows:
1.1 Term Loan. Lender agrees, for so long as no Default or
---------
Event of Default exists, to make a Term Loan to Borrower, in the principal
amount of $____________. This amount represents the unpaid principal
amount of sums owing to Lender under the Prior Loan Agreement, which was
Sixty-Three Million Seventy-Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Seven and
34/100 Dollars ($63,079,797.34), as stipulated in the Final Cash Collateral
Order, after giving credit to Borrower for payments in the amount of
_________________ Dollars ($________), made by Borrower to Lender under the
terms of the Final Cash Collateral Order and other predecessor cash
collateral orders entered in the Bankruptcy Proceedings.
1.2 Use of Proceeds. The Term Loan shall be used solely for the
---------------
satisfaction of existing Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender under the Prior Loan
Agreement, as of the Closing Date.
SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES
2.1 Interest.
--------
2.1.1 Rate of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the principal
----------------
amount of the Term Loan outstanding at the end of each day at a fluctuating rate
per annum (the "Applicable Annual Rate") equal to the Base Rate. The Applicable
----------------------
Annual Rate shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to any increase or
decrease in the Base Rate, effective as of the opening of business on the day
that any such change in the Base Rate occurs.
2.1.2 Default Rate of Interest. Upon and after the occurrence of
------------------------
an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the principal amount
of the Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% above
the Applicable Annual Rate or other applicable rate of interest (the "Default
-------
Rate").
----
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 1
---------------------------
2.1.3 Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
------------------------
(i) if at any time the amount of interest computed as provided in the Loan
Documents would exceed the amount of such interest computed upon the basis of
the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable state or federal law in
effect from time to time hereafter (the "Maximum Legal Rate"), the interest
------------------
payable under this Agreement shall be computed upon the basis of the Maximum
Legal Rate, but any subsequent reduction in the Applicable Annual Rate, Default
Rate or other rate, as applicable, shall not reduce such interest thereafter
payable hereunder below the amount computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal
Rate until the aggregate amount of such interest accrued and payable under this
Agreement equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if such
interest had been at all times computed solely as provided in the Loan
Documents; and (ii) unless preempted by federal law, the Applicable Annual Rate,
Default Rate or other rate, as applicable, from time to time in effect hereunder
may not exceed the "indicated ceiling rate" from time to time in effect under
Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Xxx. art 5069-1.04(c) (Xxxxxx 1987). If the applicable
state or federal law is amended in the future to allow a greater rate of
interest to be charged under this Agreement than is presently allowed by
applicable state or federal law, then the limitation of interest hereunder shall
be increased to the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable state or
federal law as amended, which increase shall be effective hereunder on the
effective date of such amendment, and all interest charges owing to Lender by
reason thereof shall be payable upon demand.
2.1.4 Excess Interest. No agreements, conditions, provisions or
---------------
stipulations contained in this Agreement or any other instrument, document or
agreement between Borrower and Lender or default of Borrower, or the exercise by
Lender of the right to accelerate the payment of the maturity of principal and
interest, or to exercise any option whatsoever contained in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or the arising of any contingency whatsoever, shall
entitle Lender to contract for, charge, or receive, in any event, interest
exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to
pay interest exceeding such Maximum Legal Rate and all agreements, conditions or
stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate
to bind, obligate or compel Borrower to pay a rate of interest exceeding the
Maximum Legal Rate, shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in
equity, to the extent only of the excess of interest over such Maximum Legal
Rate. In the event any interest is contracted for, charged or received in
excess of the Maximum Legal Rate ("Excess"), Borrower acknowledges and
------
stipulates that any such contract, charge, or receipt shall be the result of an
accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess received by Lender shall be
---- ----
applied, first, to reduce the principal then unpaid hereunder; second, to reduce
the other Obligations; and third, returned to Borrower, it being the intention
of the parties hereto not to enter at any time into a usurious or otherwise
illegal relationship. Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the Base
Rate and the Maximum Legal Rate, such a result could inadvertently occur. By the
execution of this Agreement, Borrower covenants that the credit or return of any
Excess shall constitute the acceptance by Borrower of such Excess. For the
purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for,
charged or received by Lender, all interest at any time contracted for, charged
or received by Lender in connection with the Loan Documents shall be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts during the entire term of this
Agreement and the Term Loan.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 2
---------------------------
2.2 Computation of Interest. Interest hereunder shall be calculated
-----------------------
daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of
360 days. For the purpose of computing interest hereunder, all items of payment
received by Lender shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the
Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) 1 Business Day after
receipt by Lender of such items in Lender's account located in Chicago,
Illinois.
2.3 Reimbursement of Expenses. If, at any time or times regardless of
-------------------------
whether or not an Event of Default then exists, Lender incurs reasonable and
necessary legal or accounting expenses or any other costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (other than Lender's overhead expenses) in connection with the
negotiation and preparation of any amendment of or modification of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;, then all such legal and
accounting expenses, other costs and out of pocket expenses of Lender (other
than Lender's overhead expenses) shall be charged to Borrower). For purposes of
the immediately preceding sentence, overhead expenses shall mean labor and
material costs of Lender not directly related to the negotiation, preparation
and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or any
amendment thereto. If, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender incurs reasonable and necessary legal or accounting or
any other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i) any litigation,
contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Lender,
Borrower or any other Person) in any way relating to the Collateral, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Borrower's affairs; (ii) any
attempt to enforce any rights of Lender against Borrower or any other Person
which may be obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Account Debtors; or (iii) any
attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate
or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral;, then all such legal and
accounting expenses, other costs and out of pocket expenses of Lender shall be
charged to Borrower. To the extent not paid as required by Sections 7.1.11 or
---------------
8.6, all amounts chargeable to Borrower under this Section 2.3 shall be
--- -----------
Obligations secured by all of the Collateral and shall be payable to Lender
within 30 days of Borrower's receipt of an invoice with respect to such charges.
Borrower shall also reimburse Lender for expenses incurred by Lender in its
administration of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in
Section 5 hereof.
---------
2.4 Bank Charges. Borrower shall pay to Lender any and all fees, costs or
------------
expenses which Lender pays to a bank or other similar institution arising out of
or in connection with the depositing for collection, by Lender, of any check or
item of payment received or delivered to Lender on account of the Obligations.
SECTION 3. LOAN ADMINISTRATION
3.1 Payments. The Obligations shall be payable as follows:
--------
3.1.1 Principal. From and after the Effective Date, principal
---------
payable on account of Term Loan shall be payable by Borrower to Lender in
installments, on the last day of each calendar month, the amount of which is due
for any particular month being equal to the amount specified for such month as
set forth below (exclusive of the mandatory prepayments required by
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 3
---------------------------
Section 3.1.3, but without duplication of amounts paid in accordance with the
-------------
Final Cash Collateral Order);
AGGREGATE INSTALLMENTS
----------------------
MONTH: PER MONTH:
------ ----------
[June] through July, 1997 $4,000,000
August, 1997 $3,500,000
September, 1997 $3,250,000
October and November, 1997 $3,000,000
December, 1997 $2,750,000
January, 1998 $2,500,000
February, 1998 $2,000,000
March through August, 1998 $3,000,000
All outstanding principal shall be due and payable on September 1, 1998 (the
"Maturity Date"). In addition, principal payable on account of the Term Loan
shall be payable by Borrower to Lender immediately upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default in consequence of which Lender elects to accelerate the
maturity and payment of the Obligations.
3.1.2 Interest. Interest accrued on the Term Loan shall be due on
--------
(i) the first calendar day of each month (for the immediately preceding month),
computed through the last calendar day of the preceding month, and (ii) the
occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which Lender elects to
accelerate the maturity and payment of the Obligations.
3.1.3 Mandatory Prepayments of Principal.
----------------------------------
(a) In addition to principal payments provided in Section
3.1.1 above, Borrower shall make mandatory prepayments of principal on a
quarterly basis, on the 15th day of each March, June, September and
December, beginning June 15, 1997. The amount of each mandatory prepayment
shall be equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow. Excess Cash Flow will be
measured on a cumulative basis, beginning March 1, 1997 and continuing
thereafter, and will consist of all Net Collections received by Borrower
since March 1, 1997 through the end of the month immediately preceding any
principal prepayment due date. As a result of the cumulative aspect of
measuring Net Collections, Borrower will be entitled to a credit to each
mandatory prepayment due, which credit will be equal to the amount of
mandatory prepayments previously made by Borrower pursuant to the
requirements of this Section 3.1.3 or the Final Cash Collateral Order. In
no event, however, will this credit calculation require Lender to refund
any prepayments by Borrower. All mandatory prepayments will be applied to
principal payments due under the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity.
(b) In the event that the Effective Date has not occurred
on or before June 1, 1997, then the mandatory prepayment of 50% of Excess
Cash Flow that otherwise would be paid to Lender on June 15, 1997 shall be
paid into escrow in accordance with
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 4
---------------------------
the provisions of the Final Cash Collateral Order. Upon the occurrence of
the earlier of the Effective Date or September 15, 1997, the funds in the
escrow shall be released and paid to Lender.
3.1.4 Voluntary Prepayments of Principal. Borrower may make
----------------------------------
voluntary prepayments of principal, without penalty, at the option of Borrower.
All voluntary prepayments will be applied to principal payments due under the
Term Loan in inverse order of maturity.
3.1.5 Costs, Fees and Charges. Costs, fees and charges payable
-----------------------
pursuant to this Agreement (other than those specifically mentioned above in
this Section 3) shall be payable by Borrower, to Lender or to any other Person
---------
designated by Lender in writing, within 30 days after the date of Lender's
invoice or other written notice thereof to Borrower.
3.1.6 Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring
-----------------
the payment of money, if any (other than those specifically mentioned above in
this Section 3), shall be payable by Borrower to Lender, within 30 days of the
---------
date of Lender's invoice or other written notice thereof to Borrower.
3.2 Application of Payments and Collections. All items of payment
---------------------------------------
received by Lender by 1:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on any Business Day shall
be deemed received on that Business Day. All items of payment received after
1:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on
the following Business Day. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of any and all payments and Collections at any time or times
received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, and, subject to the provisions of
Section 5.2.4 of this Agreement, Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that
-------------
Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and
all such payments and Collections received at any time or times hereafter by
Lender or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Lender may deem
advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Lender upon any of its books and
records.
3.3 Loan Account. Lender shall enter the Term Loan as a debit to the Loan
------------
Account and shall also record in the Loan Account all payments made by Borrower
on any Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral which are finally paid to
Lender, and may record therein, in accordance with customary accounting
practice, other debits and credits, including interest and all charges and
expenses properly chargeable to Borrower.
3.4 Statements of Account. Lender will account to Borrower monthly with a
---------------------
statement of the Term Loan, charges and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement, and such account rendered by Lender shall be deemed final, binding
and conclusive upon Borrower absent manifest error unless Lender is notified by
Borrower in writing to the contrary within 30 days of the date each accounting
is received by Borrower. Such notice shall only be deemed an objection to those
items specifically objected to therein.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 5
---------------------------
SECTION 4. SECURITY INTERESTS
4.1 Security Interest in Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and
-------------------------------
performance to Lender of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a
continuing Lien upon all of the following Property and interests in Property of
Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or
arising and wheresoever located:
(i) Pledged Contracts and rights to payment in connection
therewith;
(ii) Equipment;
(iii) General Intangibles, excluding, however, Borrower's tax
refunds and choses in action that do not relate to the Collateral;
(iv) the Contribution and Servicing Agreements, and rights to
payment in connection therewith;
(v) Investment Property (as defined in the Code) consisting of
Borrower's interest in the Trust;
(vi) All monies now or at any time or times hereafter in the
possession or under the control of Lender or a bailee or Affiliate of
Lender;
(vii) All accessions to, substitutions for and all replacements,
products and cash and non-cash proceeds of (i) through (vi) above,
including, without limitation, proceeds of and unearned premiums with
respect to insurance policies insuring any of the Collateral; and
(viii) All books and records (including, without limitation, customer
lists, credit files, computer programs, print-outs, and other computer
materials and records) of Borrower pertaining to any of (i) through (vii)
above.
4.2 Lien Perfection; Further Assurances. At Lender's request, Borrower
-----------------------------------
shall execute such UCC-1 financing statements as are required by Lender and such
other instruments, assignments or documents as Lender may deem necessary to
perfect or continue the perfection of Lender's Lien upon any of the Collateral.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to
execute and file any such financing statement on Borrower's behalf. The parties
agree that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall
be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any appropriate
office in lieu thereof. At Lender's request, Borrower shall also promptly
execute or cause to be executed and shall deliver to Lender any and all
documents, instruments and agreements deemed necessary by Lender to give effect
to or carry out the terms or intent of the Loan Documents.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 6
---------------------------
SECTION 5. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION
5.1 General.
-------
5.1.1 Location of Collateral. All Collateral will at all times be
----------------------
kept by Borrower at one or more of the business locations set forth in Exhibit C
---------
hereto and shall not, without the prior written approval of Lender, be moved
therefrom except, prior to an Event of Default and Lender's acceleration of the
maturity of the Obligations in consequence thereof, for removals in connection
with dispositions of Equipment that are authorized by Section 5.3.2 hereof.
--------------------
5.1.2 Insurance of Collateral. Borrower shall maintain and pay
-----------------------
for insurance upon all Collateral (other than Pledged Contracts) wherever
located and with respect to Borrower's business, covering casualty, hazard,
public liability and such other risks in such amounts and with such insurance
companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The requirements for such
insurance shall be consistent with the insurance that Borrower previously
maintained under the terms of the Prior Loan Agreement. In addition, Borrower
shall, at its own expense, obtain a security bond covering all of its employees,
which are designated by Borrower to deliver to the Custodian and remove from the
possession of the Custodian any Pledged Contracts and Auto Titles, in such
amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. As with Borrower's insurance, the requirements for a security bond shall
be consistent with the security bond that Borrower previously maintained under
the terms of the Prior Loan Agreement. Borrower shall deliver copies of the
originals of such policies to Lender with satisfactory lender's loss payable
endorsements, naming Lender as loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as
appropriate, and as Lender's interests may appear. Each policy of insurance or
endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than
30 days prior written notice to Lender in the event of cancellation of the
policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that the interest of
Lender shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of Borrower or
the owner of the Property or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more
hazardous than are permitted by said policy. If Borrower fails to provide and
pay for such insurance, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to,
procure the same at competitive market rates and charge Borrower therefor.
Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender, promptly as rendered, true copies of all
reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies.
5.1.3 Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting,
------------------------
storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the
Collateral, any and all excise, property, sales, and use taxes imposed by any
state, federal, or local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the
sale thereof shall be borne and paid by Borrower. If Borrower fails to promptly
pay any portion thereof when due, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be
required to, pay the same and charge Borrower therefor. Lender shall not be
liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or
for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody
thereof while any Collateral is in Lender's actual possession) or for any
diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman,
carrier, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, but the same shall be at
Borrower's sole risk.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 7
---------------------------
5.2 Administration of Contracts.
---------------------------
5.2.1 Records and Schedules of Pledged Contracts. Borrower shall
------------------------------------------
keep accurate and complete records of its Pledged Contracts and all payments and
Collections thereon and shall submit to Lender the following:
(i) on a monthly basis on or before the 15th day of each month
from and after the date hereof, or, during the existence of a Default or
Event of Default, upon Lender's request, and for such shorter period of
time as Lender may request, as the case may be, a summary of Collections
and dilutions of Pledged Contracts for the preceding month, in form
satisfactory to Lender;
(ii) on or before the 15th day of each month from and after the
date hereof, or, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default,
upon Lender's request, and for such shorter period of time as Lender may
request, as the case may be, in form acceptable to Lender, a summary of
aged Pledged Contracts balances (net of unearned finance charges) of all
active Pledged Contracts (i.e., Pledged Contracts not purged, accelerated
or otherwise terminated) existing as of the last day of the preceding
month, as the case may be; provided that until such time as Lender provides
--------
notice to the contrary, Diminutive Pledged Contracts shall be deemed to be
current Pledged Contracts for purposes of preparing of such report; and
(iii) on or before the 15th day of each month from and after the
date hereof, or, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default,
upon Lender's request, and for such shorter period of time as Lender may
request, as the case may be, in form acceptable to Lender, a "static pool
analysis" report in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M; and
---------
(iv) during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, upon
Lender's request therefor, copies of computer records pertaining to
repayment histories, showing performance by month, delinquencies and
Collections, and present status reports relating to the Pledged Contracts
and such other matters and information relating to the status of then
existing Pledged Contracts as Lender shall reasonably request.
5.2.2 Taxes. If a Pledged Contract includes a charge for any tax
-----
payable to any governmental taxing authority, Lender is authorized, in its sole
discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the
account of Borrower and to charge Borrower therefor; provided, however, that
-------- -------
Lender shall not be liable for any taxes to any governmental taxing authority
that may be due by Borrower.
5.2.3 Pledged Contract Verification. Upon the occurrence and
-----------------------------
during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, any of Lender's
officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time or times
hereafter, in the name of Lender, any designee of Lender or Borrower, to verify
the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Pledged Contracts by
mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. Borrower shall cooperate fully with
Lender in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification
process.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 8
---------------------------
5.2.4 Maintenance of Clearing Account. Until payment in full of
-------------------------------
all Obligations, Borrower shall establish and maintain a procedure for its
collections and cash management as follows:
(a) Clearing Account. Borrower shall maintain a clearing
account pursuant to a lockbox arrangement acceptable to Lender with the
Lockbox Bank. Borrower shall obtain the agreement by the Lockbox Bank in
favor of Lender to waive any offset rights against the funds deposited in
such account. Lender assumes no responsibility for such lockbox
arrangement, including, without limitation, any claim of accord and
satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank
thereunder. Borrower agrees that withdrawals from the Clearing Account are
restricted, depending on the Property that generated the funds deposited in
the Clearing Account, and that withdrawals may be made only by way of wire
transfer initiated by Borrower and payable only as follows:
(i) to Lender, with respect to payments, other
remittances and funds constituting Collateral;
(ii) to the Trust, with respect to payments, other
remittances and funds constituting Property owned by the Trust; and
(iii) to Borrower, with respect to payments, other
remittances and funds constituting Property other than Property
described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.
(b) Fleet Account. Borrower specifically agrees that proceeds
-------------
of the Collateral shall be deposited in the Clearing Account for wire
transfer to the Fleet Account, and that, by way of illustration but not in
limitation, the following are included within the meaning of proceeds of
Collateral: (i) Collections, (ii) distributions from the Trust; and (iii)
Servicing Fees. Borrower shall initiate by way of wire transfer to the
Fleet Account, as collateral for the Obligations, on the first business day
following Borrower's receipt thereof, all payments and other remittances
constituting the Collateral which are received in the lockbox; provided,
--------
however, that if Borrower receives any payment or other remittance as to
-------
which Borrower does not receive therewith, or otherwise have, sufficient
information to verify that such payment or other remittance relates to a
Pledged Contract, a distribution from the Trust, or a Servicing Fee, then
Borrower shall deposit such payment or other remittance in the Fleet
Account no later than the second business day after Borrower verifies that
such payment or other remittance relates to a Pledged Contract, a
distribution from the Trust, or a Servicing Fee.
(c) Operating Account. So long as no Event of Default has
-----------------
occurred and is continuing, then Lender will initiate by way of wire transfer,
at Borrower's expense, to Borrower's operating account, for Borrower's use, on
the next Business Day following Lender's receipt thereof, the payments and other
remittances constituting the Collateral that were received as collected funds in
the Fleet Account; and Borrower may use and enjoy such funds free and clear of
Liens in favor of Lender; Lender being then deemed to have
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 9
---------------------------
released its Lien thereon. If a Default has occurred and is
continuing, then Lender may, at Lender's option, reserve from funds that
otherwise would be wired from the Fleet Account to Borrower's operating
account, an amount determined by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, to
be sufficient to enable Borrower either to cure such Default at or prior to
the time such Default becomes an Event of Default or to pay any Obligations
that are due or shall become due during any applicable cure or grace
period. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then Lender
will have no obligation to transfer any funds from the Fleet Account to
Borrower's operating account and, instead, may exercise Lender's remedies
in Section 9 with respect to any funds in the Fleet Account.
---------
5.2.5 Collection of Pledged Contracts; Proceeds of Collateral. To
-------------------------------------------------------
expedite collection, Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make
collection of its Pledged Contracts for Lender. All remittances received by
Borrower on account of Pledged Contracts, together with the proceeds of any
other Collateral, shall be held as Lender's property by Borrower as trustee of
an express trust for Lender's benefit and Borrower shall immediately deposit
same in kind in the Clearing Account. Lender retains the right at all times
after the occurrence of an Event of Default to notify Account Debtors that
Pledged Contracts have been assigned to Lender and to collect Pledged Contracts
directly in its own name and to charge the collection costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees to Borrower.
5.3 Administration of Equipment.
----------------------------
5.3.1 Records and Schedules of Equipment. Borrower shall keep
----------------------------------
accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality, quantity and

3-month period consisting of the calendar month then ended plus the
immediately preceding two calendar months (i.e., a rolling 3-month period),
of not less than 85% of Projected Gross Collections for the same rolling 3-
month period. If a Default occurs by reason of a breach of this covenant,
then the Borrower will have the opportunity to cure this Default for a
period of 5 days from the earlier of the date of actual delivery, or, if
------
not delivered as required, the date of required delivery, pursuant to
--------
Section 7.1.3(vii) of this Agreement, to Fleet of the monthly Compliance
------------------
Certificate for the applicable month then ended, by making a prepayment (a
"Cure Payment") on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in an
------------
amount equal to the difference between 85% of the Projected Gross
Collections and the actual amount of Gross Collections. All such
------
prepayments will be applied to principal amounts due in the inverse order
of maturity. The first measurement of this covenant will be conducted for
the 3- month period that ends on ________, 1997. This covenant is referred
to as the "Gross Collections Covenant."

(b) Cure Payments. If Borrower makes a Cure Payment, as provided
-------------
above, then, for purposes of subsequent calculations of the Gross
Collections Covenant that involve any of the calendar months that were
included in the calculation of the Gross Collections Covenant with respect
to which a Cure Payment was made, the Collections
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 20
---------------------------
on Pledged Contracts, as a percentage of Projected Gross Collections, for
any of such months will be deemed to be 85%; it being the intention of the
parties to avoid creating a Default for a breach of the Gross Collections
Covenant that is calculated for a calendar month subsequent to a calendar
month for which Borrower cured a Default under the Gross Collections
Covenant by making a Cure Payment.

disallowance of all or any portion of Lender's claim(s) for repayment of the
Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (ix) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a guarantor.
No release, waiver, or discharge of Borrower or any Obligated Party from
liability for payment of any of the Obligations, nor any renewal,
supplementation, modification, rearrangement or acceleration of any of the
Obligations, nor any amendment of any document evidencing any of the
Obligations, either express or implied, shall relieve Guarantor from liability
for payment of the full amount of the Obligations then or thereafter
outstanding; and Guarantor will immediately pay all Obligations to Lender or
other person entitled thereto, regardless of any defense, right of set-off, or
counterclaim which Borrower or any other Obligated Party may have or assert, and
regardless of whether Lender or any other party shall have taken any steps to
enforce any rights against Borrower, any other Obligated Party, or any other
party to collect such sum, and regardless of any other condition or contingency,
including, without limitation, any neglect, delay, or omission of Lender. Lender
is hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the
liability of Guarantor, to, from time to time: (i) accept partial payments on
the Obligations; (ii) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of
this Guaranty or any other guarantees of the Obligations, and exchange, enforce,
waive and release any such security or collateral; (iii) apply such security or
collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Guarantor shall
not have any right, claim or action, now or hereafter, against Borrower or any
other Obligated Party arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any
other document evidencing or securing the Obligations, including, without
limitation, any right or claim of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement,
exoneration, or indemnity, until all of the Obligations are paid in full.
Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the financial
condition of, Borrower and hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself
informed of the financial condition of Borrower, and any and all endorsers or
other guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the
Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing
UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY - Page 2
----------------------
upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations or any part thereof that diligent
inquiry would reveal. Guarantor hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to
advise Guarantor of information known to Lender regarding such condition or any
such circumstances. Guarantor is not relying on the financial condition of
Borrower or the value of any collateral for the Obligations as an inducement to
enter into this Guaranty. If Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any
time or from time to time to provide any such information to Guarantor, Lender
shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of
its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which, pursuant
to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, Lender wishes to
maintain confidential, or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such
information or any other information to Guarantor.
Guarantor consents and agrees that Lender shall be under no obligation to
xxxxxxxx any assets in favor of Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all
of the Obligations. Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that Borrower
makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender receives any proceeds of
collateral, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to Borrower, any of its estate, trustee, receiver or any
other party, including, without limitation, Guarantor, under any bankruptcy law,
state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such
payment or repayment, the Obligations or part thereof which has been paid,
reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full
force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction
occurred and this Guaranty, if previously terminated, shall be reinstated for
the benefit of Lender.
Lender may, without notice to Guarantor or any other party, assign its
rights hereunder to any holder of the Obligations, in whole or in part, and upon
any such assignment all the terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall inure to
the benefit of such assignee, to the extent so assigned.
Lender is relying and is entitled to rely upon each and all of the
provisions of this Guaranty; and, accordingly, if any provision of this Guaranty
should be held to be invalid or ineffective, then all other provisions shall
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding.
Any and all notices, requests and demands to or upon Guarantor to be
effective shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served,
given or delivered as follows: (a) if sent by certified or registered mail
return receipt requested, three business days after deposit in the mail, postage
prepaid, or, if earlier, when delivered against receipt; or (b) in the case of
telegraphic notice, when delivered to the telegraph company; or (c) in the case
of telex notice, when sent, answer-back received; or (d) if sent by any other
method, upon actual delivery; in each case addressed to the address set forth
opposite Guarantor's signature below or at such other address as Guarantor shall
hereafter notify Lender.
It is the intention of Borrower, Guarantor and Lender to conform strictly
to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, no agreements, conditions, provisions or
stipulations contained in this Guaranty or any other instrument, document or
agreement between Guarantor or Borrower and Lender or default of Guarantor or
Borrower, or the exercise by Lender of the right to accelerate
UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY - Page 3
----------------------
the payment of the maturity of principal and interest, or to exercise any option
whatsoever contained in this Guaranty or any other agreement between Guarantor
or Borrower and Lender, or the arising of any contingency whatsoever, shall
entitle Lender to collect, in any event, interest exceeding the maximum rate of
interest permitted by applicable state or federal law in effect from time to
time hereafter (the "Maximum Legal Rate") and in no event shall Guarantor be
------------------
obligated to pay interest exceeding such Maximum Legal Rate and all agreements,
conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency
whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Guarantor to pay a rate of
interest exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, shall be without binding force or
effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of interest over
such Maximum Legal Rate. In the event any interest is charged in excess of the
Maximum Legal Rate ("Excess"), Guarantor acknowledges and stipulates that any
------
such charge shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such
Excess shall be, first, applied to reduce the principal then unpaid hereunder;
second, applied to reduce the Obligations; and third, returned to Guarantor, it
being the intention of the parties hereto not to enter at any time into a
usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. Guarantor recognizes that, with
fluctuations in the applicable rate on the Obligations and the Maximum Legal
Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. By the execution
of this Guaranty, Guarantor covenants that Guarantor shall not seek or pursue
any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Lender, based in whole or in part
upon the contracting, charging or receiving of any interest in excess of the
maximum authorized by applicable law.
If any sum due Lender by Guarantor hereunder is placed in the hands of an
attorney for collection, or is collected through probate, bankruptcy, or other
court proceeding, then Guarantor promises to pay Lender all reasonable costs,
attorneys' fees, and other expenses incurred by Lender pursuant to such
collection efforts.
It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that notwithstanding anything
contained in this Guaranty to the contrary, the liability of Guarantor under
this Guaranty shall be limited to an amount equal to the sum of the following:
(i) Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the
"Guaranteed Obligations"); plus
---------------------- ----
(ii) all costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Lender in
enforcing this Guaranty which are incurred by Lender by reason of any
default by Borrower under the Loan Agreement, or any instrument or document
executed in connection with or as security for payment of the Obligations
or any renewal, extension or modification thereof (hereinafter referred to
as the "Collection Expenses"); plus
------------------- ----
(iii) interest that accrues on outstanding, unpaid amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations and Collection Expenses, at the same rate of
interest that accrues on the Obligations and the Collection Expenses under
the terms of the Loan Agreement, from and after the date Lender demands
performance and/or payment by Guarantor hereunder until payment in full
by Guarantor of all sums owing hereunder.
UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY - Page 4
----------------------
Any and all existing and future indebtedness and/or obligations of Borrower
to Lender and all extensions, renewals and replacements thereof, whether now
existing or hereafter incurred, whether direct, primary, absolute, secondary,
contingent, secured, matured or unmatured, whether from time to time reduced and
thereafter increased, or entirely extinguished and thereafter reincurred,
whether originally contracted with Lender or with another or others, whether or
not evidenced by a negotiable or non-negotiable instrument or any other writing,
and whether contracted by Borrower along or jointly or severally with another or
others, other than the Guaranteed Obligations, are hereinafter referred to as
the "Unguaranteed Obligations". If at any time there exists any Unguaranteed
------------------------
Obligations (i) Lender may at its option, without impairing its rights
hereunder, exercise rights of offset by applying, first, to the Unguaranteed
Obligations any deposit balances to the credit of Borrower, and (ii) apply all
amounts realized by Lender from collateral or security held by Lender for
payment of the Obligations against the amount of the Collection Expenses,
Guaranteed Obligations and/or the Unguaranteed Obligations in such order or
manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.
In the event that Lender makes demand on Guarantor under this Guaranty
prior to indefeasible payment of the Obligations, in full, to Lender, then this
Guaranty will terminate only upon payment, in full, to Lender by Guarantor of
the Guaranteed Obligations, the Collection Expenses, if any, and accrued
interest thereon, if any.
THIS GUARANTY HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN
THE STATE OF TEXAS. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND NOT THE LAWS OF
CONFLICTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. AS PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR NEW VALUE AND
BENEFIT THIS DAY RECEIVED BY GUARANTOR, GUARANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN DALLAS COUNTY OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS AND WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND
CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED
MAIL DIRECTED TO GUARANTOR AT THE ADDRESS STATED HEREIN AND SERVICE SO MADE
SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF. GUARANTOR WAIVES
ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED AGAINST IT AS
PROVIDED HEREIN AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY DEFENSE BASED ON LACK OF
JURISDICTION OR VENUE.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS GUARANTY, GUARANTOR WAIVES THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY (WHICH LENDER HEREBY ALSO WAIVES) IN ANY ACTION, SUIT,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
GUARANTY OR THE OBLIGATIONS.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
$____________ _____________, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (hereinafter "Borrower"), hereby
--------
promises to pay to the order of FLEET CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Rhode Island
corporation (hereinafter "Lender"), at its office located at 2711 North Xxxxxxx,
------
Suite 2100, LB 21, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, or at such other location as Lender may
request, in such coin or currency of the United States which shall be legal
tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of

Subject to Section 2.1.3 of the Loan Agreement (as defined below), the

----------------------
in Section 2.1.1 of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated of even date
-------------
herewith, by and between Lender and Borrower (as amended, restated or renewed
from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), except that upon and after the
--------------

principal balance outstanding hereunder, and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, past due interest hereunder, shall accrue interest at the
Default Rate specified in Section 2.1.2 of the Loan Agreement.
-------------
This Secured Promissory Note (this "Note") is the Term Note referred
----
to in, and is issued pursuant to, the Loan Agreement, and is entitled to all of
the benefits and security of the Loan Agreement. All of the terms, covenants
and conditions of the Loan Agreement and all other instruments evidencing or
securing the indebtedness hereunder (including, without limitation, the
"Security Documents" as defined in the Loan Agreement) (hereinafter collectively
-------------------
referred to as the "Loan Documents") are hereby made a part of this Note and are
--------------
deemed incorporated herein in full. All capitalized terms used herein, unless
otherwise specifically defined in this Note, shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Loan Agreement.
The principal amount of and all accrued interest on this Note shall be

(c) Maturity Date. The entire remaining principal amount then
-------------
outstanding, together with any and all other amounts due hereunder, shall
be due and payable on the Maturity Date (i.e., September 1, 1998).
In addition to principal payments provided for above, mandatory prepayments
of principal shall be due and payable on a quarterly basis, on the 15th day of
each March, June, September and December, beginning on the first such date after
the Closing Date, in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash Flow,
as defined and more particularly provided for in Section 3.1.3 of the Loan
Agreement.
Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without
premium or penalty, unless otherwise specified in the Loan Agreement.
All partial prepayments, whether mandatory or voluntary, shall be applied
to installments of principal in the inverse order of their maturities.
Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all
of the rights and remedies set forth in Section 9 of the Loan Agreement,
---------
including the right to declare the then outstanding principal balance and
accrued interest hereof to be and the same shall thereupon become, immediately
due and payable without notice of intention to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, or any other notice to or demand upon Borrower, all of which
Borrower hereby expressly waives.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or otherwise, (i) if
at any time the amount of interest computed on the basis of the Applicable
Annual Rate or the Default Rate would exceed the amount of such interest
computed upon the basis of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable
state or federal law in effect from time to time hereafter (the "Maximum Legal
-------------
Rate"), the interest payable under this Note shall be computed upon the basis of
----
the Maximum Legal Rate, but any subsequent reduction in such Applicable Annual
Rate or Default Rate, as applicable, shall not reduce such interest thereafter
payable hereunder below the
SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE - Page 2
-----------------------
amount computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate until the aggregate
amount of such interest accrued and payable under this Note equals the total
amount of interest which would have accrued if such interest had been at all
times computed solely on the basis of the Applicable Annual Rate or Default
Rate, as applicable; and (ii) unless preempted by federal law, the Applicable
Annual Rate or Default Rate, as applicable, from time to time in effect
hereunder may not exceed the "indicated ceiling rate" from time to time in
effect under Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Xxx. art. 5069-1.04(c) (Xxxxxx 1987). If the
applicable state or federal law is amended in the future to allow a greater rate
of interest to be charged under this Note than is presently allowed by
applicable state or federal law, then the limitation of interest hereunder shall
be increased to the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable state or
federal law as amended, which increase shall be effective hereunder on the
effective date of such amendment, and all interest charges owing to Lender by
reason thereof shall be payable at the same date and in the same manner as
accrued interest on this Note is generally payable pursuant to the provisions of
this Note.
No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulation contained in this
Note, the Loan Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement between
Borrower and Lender or default of Borrower, or the exercise by Lender of the
right to accelerate the payment of the maturity of principal and interest, or to
exercise any option whatsoever contained in this Note or any other Loan
Document, or the arising of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Lender to
contract for, charge, or receive, in any event, interest exceeding the Maximum
Legal Rate. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest exceeding
such Maximum Legal Rate and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any,
which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or
compel Borrower to pay a rate of interest exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate,
shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent
only of the excess of interest over such Maximum Legal Rate. In the event any
interest is contracted for, charged or received in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate ("Excess Interest"), Borrower acknowledges and stipulate that any such
---------------
contract, charge, or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide
error, and that any Excess Interest received by Lender shall be applied, first,
to reduce the principal then unpaid hereunder; second, to reduce the other
Obligations; and third, returned to Borrower, it being the intention of the
parties hereto not to enter at any time into a usurious or otherwise illegal
relationship. Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the Applicable
Annual Rate and the Maximum Legal Rate, such a result could inadvertently occur.
By the execution of this Note, Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or return
of any Excess Interest shall constitute the acceptance by Borrower of such
Excess Interest, and (ii) Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other remedy,
legal or equitable, against Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting
for, charging or receiving of any interest in excess of the maximum rate
authorized by applicable law. For the purpose of determining whether or not any
Excess Interest has been contracted for, charged or received by Lender, all
interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by Lender in connection
with this Note shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts
during the entire term of this Note.
Time is of the essence of this Note. Unless otherwise provided in the Loan
Agreement, Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and
assigns, expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice
of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of maturity,
SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE - Page 3
-----------------------
notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity,
diligence in collection, and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws.
If this Note is collected by or through an attorney at law, Borrower shall
be obligated to pay, in addition to the principal balance and accrued interest
hereof, reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, and any other charges for
which Borrower is responsible under the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision
of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this
Note. No delay or failure on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in
any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or
remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Lender, at its option, may enforce
its rights against any collateral securing this Note without enforcing its
rights against Borrower, any guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or
any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to Borrower. Borrower
agrees that, without releasing or impairing Borrower's liability hereunder,
Lender may at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any collateral
securing this Note and may at any time release any party primarily or
secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.
This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Texas.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be duly executed and
delivered in Dallas, Texas, on the date first above written.

(i) During the term of this Pledge Agreement, if Pledgor shall
receive, have registered in its name or become entitled to receive or acquire or
have registered in its name any certificate, option, warrant or right with
respect to the equity or beneficial or other interests of Issuer (including
without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend on or a distribution
or exchange of or in connection with any reclassification of the Pledged
Securities) whether as an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for
any of the Pledged Property or otherwise, Pledgor agrees to accept same as
Pledgee's agent, to hold same in trust for Pledgee and to deliver same forthwith
to Pledgee or Pledgee's agent or bailee in the form received, with the
endorsement(s) of Pledgor where necessary and/or duly executed appropriate
powers and/or assignments, to be held by Pledgee or Pledgee's agent or bailee
subject to the terms hereof, or, if
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 3
----------------
any of the foregoing is uncertificated, register same with the Pledgee's
security interest noted therein, as further security for the Obligations.
(j) During the term of this Pledge Agreement, Pledgor shall not
directly or indirectly sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or grant
any option with respect to the Pledged Property, nor shall Pledgor create, incur
or permit any further pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, lien, mortgage or
security interest with respect to the Pledged Property, except pursuant to the
PSCC Agreement
(k) So long as no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has
occurred, Pledgor shall have the right to vote and exercise all ownership rights
with respect to the Pledged Securities, except as expressly prohibited herein.
(l) Pledgee may notify Issuer or the appropriate transfer agent of
the Pledged Securities to register the security interest and pledge granted
herein and honor the rights of Pledgee with respect thereto.
(m) No action has been taken or is being taken by or is currently
planned by Pledgor, or any agent acting on its behalf which would cause this
Pledge Agreement or the Obligations to violate Regulation U or any other
regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or any other applicable law or regulation,
in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended or
supplemented. Pledgor is not in the business of extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stocks or other securities.
(n) Pledgor waives (i) all rights to require Pledgee to proceed
against any other person, entity or collateral or to exercise any remedy, (ii)
the defense of the statute of limitations in any action upon any of the
Obligations, (iii) any right of subrogation in the Obligations or Pledged
Property, (iv) any rights as a guarantor or surety, including, without
limitation, the right to be informed of additional credit extended by Pledgor,
any financial information relating to Obligor, the value of the Pledged
Property, any deterioration thereof, or of any other matter, unless specifically
required by applicable law and non-waivable and (v) to the extent permissible,
its rights under Section 9.112 and 9.207 of the Code. Pledgee is entitled to all
of the benefits of a secured party set forth in Section 9.207 of the Code.
Pledgor agrees that the Pledged Property, other collateral, Company or any other
guarantor or endorser may be released, substituted or added with respect to the
Obligations, in whole or in part, without releasing or otherwise affecting the
liability of Pledgor, the pledge and security interests granted hereunder, or
this Pledge Agreement.
(o) The PSCC Agreement has not been amended or modified, and the
"Secured Obligations" (as such term is defined in the PSCC Agreement) consist
only of the loan, the outstanding principal balance of which is, as of this
date, $_________________. The principal balance of the Secured Obligations will
not be increased above such amount.
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 4

4. Events of Default
-----------------
The occurrence of an "Event of Default" under (and as defined in) the
Loan Agreement or any representation or warranty made by Pledgor (or any of its
officers) under or in connection with this Pledge Agreement which shall prove to
have been incorrect in any material respect when made, or any failure by Pledgor
to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Pledge
Agreement on its part to be performed or observed, shall, at the sole option of
Pledgee, constitute and be deemed an Event of Default under this Pledge
Agreement.
5. Remedies After Default
----------------------
Upon or subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default:
(a) Pledgee, at its option, shall be empowered to exercise its
continuing right to instruct Issuer (or the appropriate transfer agent of the
Pledged Securities) to register any or all of the Pledged Securities and/or
other Pledged Property in the name of Pledgee or in the name of Pledgee's
nominee and Pledgee may complete, in any manner Pledgee may deem expedient, any
and all stock powers, assignments or other documents heretofore or hereafter
executed in blank by Pledgor and delivered to Pledgee. After said instruction,
and without further notice, Pledgee, in its discretion, shall have the exclusive
right to exercise all voting and business trust rights with respect to the
Pledged Securities and other Pledged Property and exercise any and all rights of
conversion, redemption, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges,
or options pertaining to any shares of the Pledged Securities or the other
Pledged Property as if Pledgee were the absolute owner thereof, including
without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion any and all of the
Pledged Securities and other Pledged Property upon any merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment with respect to Issuer.
Upon the exercise of any such rights, privileges or options by Pledgee, Pledgee
shall have the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged
Securities and other Pledged Property to any committee, depository, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as
Pledgee may determine, all without liability, except to account for property
actually received by Pledgee. However, Pledgee shall have no duty to exercise
any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options (all of which are exercisable
in the sole discretion of Pledgee) and shall not be responsible for any failure
to do so or delay in doing so.
(b) In addition to all the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Texas Business and Commerce Code, Pledgee shall have the right, at any
time and without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice
of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or
private sale) to or upon Pledgor or any other person (all and each of which
demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the extent
permitted by law), to proceed forthwith to collect, redeem, receive,
appropriate, sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Property or
any part thereof in one or more lots at public or private sale or sales at any
exchange, brokers board or at any of Pledgee's offices or elsewhere at such
prices and on such terms as Pledgee may deem best. The foregoing disposition(s)
may be for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 5
----------------
any credit risk by Pledgee, with Pledgee having the right to purchase all or any
part of said Pledged Property so sold at any such sale or sales, public or
private, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or
equity is hereby expressly waived or released by Pledgor. In connection with any
sale or other disposition of the Pledged Property, Pledgee is hereby authorized
by Pledgor to complete the appropriate instruments(s) of transfer executed and
delivered by Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Property in such manner as
Pledgee shall deem appropriate to effectuate such sale or other disposition. All
of Pledgee's rights and remedies, including, but not limited to, the foregoing,
shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be enforceable alternatively,
successively or concurrently, as Pledgee may deem expedient. The proceeds of any
such collection, redemption, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization, sale
or other disposition, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind
incurred relative thereto or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of
any and all Pledged Property or in any way relating to the rights of Pledgee
hereunder (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses, including, without limitation, a reasonable estimate of the allocated
cost of Pledgee's in-house counsel and legal staff) shall be applied first to
the satisfaction of the Obligations (in such order as Pledgee may elect) and
then to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, including
Section 9.504(a)(3) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, Pledgor to be and
remain liable to Pledgee for any deficiency. Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days
prior notice by Pledgee, sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, designating
the date after which a private sale may take place or a public auction may be
held, is reasonable notification of such matters.
(c) Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee may be unable to effect a public
sale of all or part of the Pledged Property by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act of l933, as amended, as now or hereafter in
effect or in applicable Blue Sky or other state securities law, as now or
hereafter in effect, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other
things, to acquire such Pledged Property for their own account for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. If at the time of any
sale of the Pledged Property or any part thereof the same shall not, for any
reason whatsoever, be effectively registered (if required) under the Securities
Act of 1933 (or other applicable state securities law), as then in effect,
Pledgee in its sole and absolute discretion is authorized to sell such Pledged
Property or such part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such
circumstances as Pledgee or its counsel may deem necessary or advisable in order
that such sale may legally be effected without registration. Pledgor agrees that
private sales so made may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller
than if such Pledged Property were sold at public sale, and that Pledgee has no
obligation to delay the sale of any such Pledged Property for the period of time
necessary to permit Issuer, even if Issuer would agree, to register such Pledged
Property for public sale under such applicable securities laws. Pledgor agrees
that any private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
(d) All of the Pledgee's rights and remedies, including but not
limited to the foregoing and those otherwise arising under this Pledge
Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the instruments and securities comprising the
Pledged Property, applicable law or otherwise, shall be cumulative and not
exclusive and shall be enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 6
----------------
as Pledgee may deem expedient. No failure or delay on the part of Pledgee in
exercising any of its options, powers or rights or partial or single exercise
thereof, shall constitute a waiver of such option, power or right.
6. Further Assurances
------------------
Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the written
request of Pledgee, Pledgor will execute and deliver such further documents,
including but not limited to irrevocable proxies or stock powers, in form
satisfactory to counsel for Pledgee, and will take or cause to be taken such
further acts as Pledgee may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes
of this Pledge Agreement and perfect or continue the perfection of the security
interest in the Pledged Property granted to Pledgee hereunder.
7. Miscellaneous
-------------
(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody
of the Pledged Property while held by Pledgee hereunder, as provided in Section
-------
3(e) hereof, Pledgee or Pledgee's agent or bailee shall have no duty or
----
liability to protect or preserve any rights pertaining thereto and shall be
relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Property upon surrendering it to
Pledgor or foreclosure with respect thereto. Pledgee shall have no obligation
or duty to return or release its security interest in the Pledged Property,
except upon the written request of Pledgor, at the sole expense of Pledgor and
only after all Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.
(b) No course of dealing between Pledgor and Pledgee, nor any failure
or delay by Pledgee to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Pledge
Agreement, the Loan Agreement or under any other agreements, instruments and
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, shall operate as a
waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No
waiver of any provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by Pledgee, and then such waiver shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
(c) This Pledge Agreement may not be changed, modified or amended, in
whole or in part, except by a writing signed by Pledgor and Pledgee.
(d) The provisions of this Pledge Agreement and the Loan Agreement
are severable, and if any clause or provision hereof or thereof shall be held
invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such
invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such clause or provision in
any such jurisdiction or part thereof, and shall not in any manner affect such
clause or provision in any other jurisdiction or any other clause or provision
in this Pledge Agreement or the Loan Agreement in any jurisdiction.
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 7
----------------
(E) THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT WHETHER ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR
BY REASON OF THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, THE PLEDGED PROPERTY, THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR
ANY MATTER OR PROCEEDING RELATING THERETO.
(f) This Pledge Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Pledgee and
its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon Pledgor and its successors
and assigns.
8. Counterparts
------------
This Pledge Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with
the same effect as if the signatures were upon the same instrument.
9. Governing Law
-------------
THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENT,
INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
10. Jurisdiction
------------
(a) Pledgor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any
Texas State or Federal court sitting in Dallas County in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Pledge Agreement to which Pledgor
is a party, and Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Texas State court
or in such Federal court. Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding. Pledgor irrevocably consents to the
service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may
be served in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such
process to Pledgor at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000. Pledgor
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law.
(b) Nothing in this paragraph 10 shall affect the right of Pledgee to
serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of
the Pledgee to bring any action or proceeding against the Pledgor or its
property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

or unenforceable, such provision shall be invalid, void or unenforceable with
respect to the holder or holders of such Claims or Equity Interests as to which
the provision is determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable. The
invalidity, voidness or unenforceability of any such provision shall in no way
limit or affect the enforceability and operative effect of any other provision
of the Plan.
12.12. Revocation or Withdrawal of the Plan. The Debtor reserves the
------------------------------------
right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Confirmation Date. If the
Debtor revokes or withdraws the Plan prior to the Confirmation Date, then the

the Debtor or any person or to prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor
or any person in any further proceedings involving the Debtor.
12.13. Binding Effect. The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the
--------------
benefit of the Debtor, the holders of Claims and Equity Interests, and their

MOTION OF THE DEBTOR FOR AN ORDER PURSUANT TO
SECTION 363 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE APPROVING
THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE DEBTOR,
XXXX X. XXXXXXXX AND FLEET CAPITAL CORPORATION
-----------------------------------------------
TO THE XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX X. XXXXXXXXXX,
UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY JUDGE:
Jayhawk Acceptance Corporation ("Jayhawk" or the "Debtor"), as debtor
and debtor-in-possession, respectfully represents:
JURISDICTION
------------
1. This Court has jurisdiction to consider this Motion pursuant to 28
U.S.C. (S)(S) 157 and 1334. This matter is a core proceeding pursuant to 28
U.S.C. (S) 157(b)(2)(A) and (O). Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to
28 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1408 and 1409.
BACKGROUND
----------
2. On February 7, 1997 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtor filed a
voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States
Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). Jayhawk is operating its business and managing
its properties as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108
of the Bankruptcy Code.
3. The Debtor is a specialized financial services company, primarily
engaged in the business of serving automobile dealers in the subprime credit
market by providing an indirect financing source to buyers of used vehicles with
limited access to traditional sources of consumer credit. In August 1996, the
Debtor, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Jayhawk Medical Acceptance
Corporation ("Jaymed"), expanded its business into the elective health care
market by offering an indirect financing source for elective health care
procedures.
4. As of the Petition Date, the Debtor owed its revolving credit
lender, Fleet Capital Corporation ("Fleet"), approximately $60 million, which
was secured by substantially all of the Debtor's assets and was guaranteed up to
$10 million by Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx ("Xxxxxxxx").
5. Concurrently with the filing of this Motion, the Debtor filed a
plan of reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to section 1121 of the Bankruptcy
Code, Plan Supplement (Volume I) that includes the proposed Fleet loan documents
attached thereto as exhibits, and a disclosure statement (the "Disclosure
Statement") accompanying the Plan. The terms of the Plan
2
contemplate, among other things, that the Debtor will restructure its
obligations with Fleet. In furtherance of such restructure, the Debtor intends
to execute various agreements documenting the terms of the restructured
obligations, to be effective as of the Effective Date of the Plan. In connection
therewith, the Debtor has entered into an agreement with Xxxxxxxx and Fleet (the
"Settlement Agreement"), which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A and is
---------
incorporated herein for all purposes. Because the issue of the necessity of this
Court's approval is not free from doubt, and because the Debtor is required to
use its best efforts to obtain approval of the Settlement Agreement as provided
pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Debtor seeks this Court's
approval pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code of the Debtor's entry
into the Settlement Agreement.
6. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Fleet and
Xxxxxxxx agree to support and vote for the Plan, subject to compliance with
applicable laws. Essentially, the Settlement Agreement is a consent agreement.
The relevant terms of the Settlement Agreement include: (1) the Debtor will seek
to obtain confirmation of the Plan not later than July 31, 1997; (2) Fleet will
support and vote for the Plan, subject to the provisions of the Settlement
Agreement and compliance with applicable laws; (3) Jaymed will support and vote
for the Plan; (4) the Debtor and Fleet will support and seek approval of the
Final Cash Collateral Order/1/; (5) the Collateral securing the payment of the
Obligations as provided in the Plan will consist of all property described in
the Loan Documents; (6) the Debtor will continue to comply with its reporting
obligations as required by the Cash Collateral Orders and the Loan Documents;
________________
1. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning
ascribed to such terms in the Settlement Agreement.
3
(7) the Debtor will execute the Loan Documents prior to, but effective on, the
Effective Date; and (8) Xxxxxxxx will execute the New Guaranty and the Xxxxxxxx
Release prior to, but effective on, the Effective Date.
7. Additionally, the Settlement Agreement contains several conditions
precedent to Fleet's agreement to support and vote for the Plan, including: (1)
the Court shall have entered the Final Cash Collateral Order on or before April
30, 1997; (2) the Debtor shall have filed the Plan on or before April 18, 1997;
(3) the Plan may not be amended or modified without Fleet's prior consent; (4)
the Disclosure Statement shall have been filed on or before April 18, 1997; (5)
the Debtor shall have filed this Motion concurrently with its filing of the Plan
and shall have diligently and in good faith sought to obtain entry of an order
approving the Settlement Agreement; (6) Fleet shall have approved the Final Cash
Collateral Order between the Debtor and Prudential Securities Credit Corporation
("PSCC"); (7) no liens or encumbrances, other than those favoring Fleet and
PSCC, shall have been created on the Collateral securing the Obligations; and
(8) Xxxxxxxx or Jaymed, or any assignee of Jaymed's claim (including Xxxxxxxx),
shall have voted for and supported the Plan.
8. Fleet's claim is not deemed allowed under the Settlement Agreement.
---
Only after the Disclosure Statement has been approved and the Plan has been
confirmed will Fleet's claim be deemed allowed as of the Effective Date of the
Plan.
RELIEF REQUESTED
----------------
9. By this Motion, and pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Debtor requests an order approving the terms of the Settlement
Agreement. The Debtor also
4
seeks authorization to take any additional actions that may be necessary or
appropriate to consummate the Settlement Agreement.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
---------------
10. Critical to the success of any reorganization plan is a consent
agreement between the Debtor and Fleet as a major secured creditor. Once such
an agreement is reached, the claims of other creditors can be resolved more
efficiently. Section 363(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code permits a debtor to enter
into transactions outside of the ordinary course of business after notice and a
hearing. The only court to address the issue whether a consent agreement
required compliance with section 363(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code was the
bankruptcy court for the Southern District of New York in Trans World Airlines,
---------------------
Inc. v. Texaco Inc. (In re Texaco Inc.), 81 B.R. 813 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1988).
------------------- -----------------
According to the Texaco court, a consent agreement is not subject to section
------
363(b)(1) because it does not involve a debtor's right to use, sell, or lease
property of the estate, and such an agreement is conditioned upon [the] court's
approval of the plan." Id. at 816. Thus, "prior approval of negotiations
---
leading to a confirmation is not required because a debtor is encouraged to
negotiate with interested parties in accordance with the exclusivity conferred
under 11 U.S.C. (S) 1121(b)." Id.
---
11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtor is concerned that
certain covenants set forth in the Settlement Agreement may involve transactions
outside of the ordinary course of the Debtor's business and thus require this
Court's approval. The factors to be considered by the Court under section
363(b)(1) include (1) business justification and (2) relationship of the
agreement to the plan approval process. See, e.g. In re Xxxxxxxxx XxXxxx
--- ---- ----------------------
Pattern, Inc., 114 B.R. 877 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1990) (holding that an agreement
-------------
allowing a
5
chapter 11 debtor to merge with another entity if the plan of reorganization is
confirmed was amply supported by the debtor's reasonable business judgment and
was a step necessary to achieve the plan).
12. Courts have consistently recognized that free and open negotiation
is crucial for parties to prepare a consensual plan of reorganization. As long
as parties do not unequivocally solicit votes prior to the distribution of a
court-approved disclosure statement, parties may negotiate to reach an
agreement. For example, a party may distribute drafts of different plans for
comments from creditors. In re Xxxxxx, 51 B.R. 432, 436 (Bankr. D. Utah 1985).
------------
A party may also meet with other parties to discuss plan options. Id. (court
---
held that a meeting conducted pursuant to debtor's communication with various
creditors was not a solicitation under section 1125(b)). In addition, a debtor-
in-possession and a creditors' committee may enter into "a transaction to form
the basis of a plan" prior to confirmation of a plan of reorganization. In re
-----
Xxxxxxxxx XxXxxx Pattern, Inc., 114 B.R. 877, 877 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1990).
------------------------------
Finally, a party "may transmit additional materials to creditors and other
interested parties to induce their votes . . . so long as such extrajudicial
material and solicitation does not contradict the court-approved disclosure
statement, or contain mischaracterizations or misstatements of material fact
that might unfairly influence solicitees." In re Xxxxxxx Square Partnership, 160
--------------------------------
B.R. 336, 341 (Bankr. D. Minn. 1993).
13. In addition, policy reasons abound for courts to uphold consent
agreements. One of these reasons is that "the law should favor settlements."
In re Xxxxxxx Square Partnership, 160 B.R. at 339. Another reason is that
--------------------------------
courts should encourage consensual, negotiated plans early in a case. Id. at
---
340. Otherwise, the bankruptcy process could "create
6
unwarranted delays in the confirmation process at the expense of virtually
everyone concerned." In re Xxxxxxx, 104 B.R. 206, 214 (Bankr. W.D. Mo. 1989). In
-------------
addition, since "there is no principled or predicable difference (between
permissible negotiations and prohibited solicitations), . . . any definition
would tend to chill creditors' negotiations." Id. (citing Century Glove, Inc. v.
--- ----------------------
First Am. Bank (In re Century Glove, Inc.), 860 F.2d 94, 101-02 (3d Cir. 1988)).
-------------- -------------------------
14. The Debtor has located only three decisions addressing challenges
to consent agreements, In re Texaco Inc., In re Xxxxxxx Square Partnership, and
----------------- --------------------------------
In re Circle K. Corp., et al., No. CIV. 93-1222 (D. Ariz. April 11, 1994). In
-----------------------------
each of these cases, the court upheld the agreement as a permissible negotiation
and not an impermissible solicitation because the purpose of the agreement was
not to solicit votes directly, rather the agreement contained various
affirmative and negative covenants relating to the parties' support for the
final reorganization plan.
15. In In re Texaco Inc., the bankruptcy court held that a $3 billion
-----------------
dollar settlement agreement executed prior to the court's approval of a
disclosure statement between the debtor Texaco Inc. and its creditor Pennzoil
was not a solicitation in violation of 11 U.S.C. (S) 1125(b). Texaco negotiated
a settlement with Pennzoil that formed the basis of Texaco's reorganization
plans. Paying particular attention to the necessity of the consent agreement,
the court noted that
the settlement had to be binding on Texaco and Pennzoil before Texaco
could submit its plan of reorganization. If Pennzoil were free to
support another plan while Texaco's plan was still capable of being
approved, the negotiations between Texaco and Pennzoil would be
meaningless. Pennzoil's support of Texaco's proposed plan is
fundamental to Texaco's efforts to effect a confirmable plan of
reorganization. Texaco's willingness to forego further litigation with
Pennzoil for
7
a payment of $3 billion is predicated on the fact that Pennzoil's
support will enable Texaco to propose a confirmable plan.
In re Texaco Inc., 81 B.R. at 815. Similarly, Fleet's support of the Debtor's
-----------------
Plan is fundamental to the Debtor's ability to effect a confirmable plan of
reorganization.
16. Further, the Texaco court noted that certain affirmative and
------
negative covenants in the agreement did not amount to vote solicitation in
violation of 11 U.S.C. (S) 1125(b). First, the consent agreement between the
two parties did not commit Pennzoil to a vote prior to the dissemination of a
court-approved disclosure statement. Id. The court stated that "[t]he proposal
---
in the Joint Plan for the settlement of Pennzoil's claim for $3 billion dollars
is not effective unless accepted by the requisite majority of shareholders and
approved by this court." Id. at 816. The Court further stated that "[u]nless
---
the requisite majority of shareholders first consent to the plan, followed by a
confirmation hearing which requires this Court's approval, there will be no
effective settlement pursuant to which Texaco would be obligated to pay, and
Pennzoil would be entitled to receive a $3 billion amount." Id. Similarly, the
---
Settlement Agreement by and among the Debtor, Fleet, and Xxxxxxxx will not be
effective unless the Disclosure Statement is approved, the Plan is confirmed,
and there is compliance with all other applicable laws. Second, Pennzoil's
covenant not to "vote for, consent to, support or participate in the formulation
of any other plan" or modifications of the plan did not require Pennzoil to
accept the plan or cast a ballot. Id. In fact, as is the case with the Debtor's
---
Settlement Agreement with Fleet, the Texaco court noted that "[t]he solicitation
------
of Pennzoil's vote must await the approval of the disclosure statement. Indeed,
Pennzoil is not required to cast any ballot at all." Id. at 815. Additionally,
--
such a covenant did not violate section 1125(b) where there was "no
8
other plan on file which would require a disclosure statement." Id. Third, the
---
affirmative covenant, that the parties would use their "best efforts" to support
the plan, did not amount to a direct solicitation of votes in favor of the final
plan. Id. Each of these provisions is similar to the provisions contained in the
---
Settlement Agreement.
17. Next, the court in In re Xxxxxxx Square Partnership referred to In
-------------------------------- --
re Texaco Inc. in its decision to uphold a consent agreement as a permissible
--------------
negotiation under section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The debtor, Xxxxxxx
Square Partnership ("Xxxxxxx") entered into an agreement with a creditor,
District Energy St. Xxxx ("District Energy") to switch from hot water to natural
gas to heat its building prior to the dissemination of a court-approved
disclosure statement. The agreement amounted to a savings of $269,000 for
Xxxxxxx, and reduced its previous contract term with District Energy by ten
years. A major creditor, Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential")
objected to the agreement on the basis that it violated section 1125(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code. In addition, Prudential alleged that Xxxxxxx, in violation of
section 1125(b), solicited District Energy's vote with preliminary drafts of its
amended disclosure statement./2/
18. The court upheld the consent agreement on the following grounds:
(1) the agreement was executory until final approval by the creditors of the
disclosure statement, (2) policy favored settlement, and (3) courts should
define solicitation narrowly. The agreement provided that District Energy's
acceptance of the final plan "remained executory until District Energy actually
filed its accepting ballot with the clerk of this Court." In re Xxxxxxx Square
--------------------
________________
2. On this separate issue, the court held that parties may convey additional
materials as long as the extrajudicial materials do not contradict the
disclosure statement or contain mischaracterizations or misstatements of
material fact that might unfairly influence solicitees. In re Xxxxxxx Square
--------------------
Partnership, 160 B.R. at 341.
-----------
9
Partnership, 160 B.R. at 340. Additionally, the "agreement did not purport to
-----------
exempt the debtor from its statutory obligation to present District Energy with
a court-approved disclosure statement." Id. Furthermore, the Xxxxxxx Square
--- --------------
court stated that courts should encourage "consensual arrangements" that further
reorganization plans. Id. at 339. The court also defined `solicitation'
---
narrowly, referring to Century Glove, Inc. as the leading case on the issue.
-------------------
Id. at 340. Finally, the court stated that, "[a]s a matter of these basic
---
principles, then, the Debtor's negotiations with District Energy did not
constitute `solicitation' within the contemplation of (S) 1125." Id. (emphasis
---
added).
19. In In re Circle K Corp., et al., one of four major creditor
-------------------- ------
groups, the Debenture Holders (the "Debenture Committee"), initially brought
suit in bankruptcy court by preliminary injunction claiming that the consent
agreements signed by various creditors after extensive negotiations violated 11
U.S.C. (S) 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, the Debenture Committee
stated that the agreements "illegally [made] a demand, prior to dissemination of
an approved disclosure statement, that the senior Creditors agree to vote in
favor of the Debtors' Plan and against any other competing plan." In re Circle
------------
K. Corp., et al., No. CIV 93-1222, slip op. at 7 (D. Ariz. April 11, 1994). The
-------- ------
Debenture Committee received a zero distribution under the debtors' plan, which
was approved and confirmed by the bankruptcy court over the Debenture
Committee's objection.
20. The Bankruptcy Court initially denied the Debenture Committee's
complaint. On appeal, the District Court for the District of Arizona, relying
upon In re Texaco, Inc., noted that, because the consent agreement contained
------------------
affirmative and negative covenants, the creditors were not unequivocally
required to vote in favor of the Circle K Plan. Two covenants
10
in the consent agreement formed the basis of the court's analogy to In re Texaco
------------
Inc.: (1) the ability of signatories to withdraw from the agreement if the
----
disclosure statement was not materially consistent with the agreement, and (2)
signatories to the agreement could withdraw if not doing so would constitute a
breach of fiduciary duty. In re Circle K Corp., et al., No. CIV 93-1222, slip
-------------------- ------
op. at 10 (D. Ariz. April 11, 1994). These "outs," the court determined, "put
the agreement in question within the protections of the Texaco case." The
Settlement Agreement among the Debtor, Fleet, and Xxxxxxxx contains similar
features in the form of conditions precedent.
21. Moreover, the Circle K court noted that the signatories to the
--------
agreement, consistent with congressional intent, based their decision upon
adequate information, engaged in open negotiation, and were sufficiently
sophisticated to protect their interests. In re Circle K Corp., et al., No. CIV
-------------------- ------
93-1222, slip op. at 11 (D. Ariz. April 11, 1994) referring to In re Xxxxxxx,
-------------
104 B.R. at 215; In re Allegheny Intern., Inc., 118 B.R. 282, 294 (Bankr. W.D.
-----------------------
Pa. 1990)). These factors were also present in negotiations between the Debtor,
Fleet, and Xxxxxxxx. Indeed, the Settlement Agreement is the product of
extensive negotiations, spanning many weeks, and multiple drafts and revisions.
CONCLUSION
----------
22. Courts have consistently held consent agreements enforceable as
permissible negotiations if they contain affirmative and negative covenants that
do not request a direct vote in favor of a final plan prior to when the parties
receive a court-approved disclosure statement. Examples of affirmative and
negative covenants held by courts to be enforceable in a consent agreement
include promises to "support" or use "best efforts" to support the final plan;
11
provisions that the agreement will remain executory until parties cast their
final ballot after court approval and dissemination of the disclosure statement;
and promises not to accept another plan or modify the current plan. Based on
the foregoing, to the extent such approval is required under section 363(b)(1)
of the Bankruptcy Code, the Court should approve the Settlement Agreement and
authorize the Debtor to take any actions necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated therein.
