the security interests created by any Senior Document or any
Subordinated Loan Document,
(2) the time or order of filing or recording of financing
statements or other documents filed or recorded to perfect security
interests in any Collateral,
(3) anything contained in any filing or agreement to which
Greenwich or any Subordinated Lender now or hereafter may be a party,
and
(4) the rules for determining priority under the Uniform
Commercial Code or any other law governing the relative priorities of
secured creditors,
any security interest in any Collateral pursuant to any Senior Document has and
shall have priority, to the extent of any unpaid Senior Obligations, over any
security interest in such Collateral pursuant to any Subordinated Loan Document.
(b) So long as the Senior Obligations have not been paid in
full and any Senior Document remains in effect, whether or not any event or
proceeding described in clause (1) of the definition of "Insolvency Event" has
been commenced by or against Altiva,
(1) no Subordinated Lender will (A) exercise or seek to
exercise any rights or exercise any remedies with respect to any
Collateral or (B) institute any action or proceeding with respect to
such rights or remedies, including without limitation, any action of
foreclosure against any Collateral or (C) contest, protest or object to
any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by Greenwich or any other
exercise by Greenwich of any rights and remedies under any Senior
Document; and
(2) Greenwich shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights
and exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral;
PROVIDED, that, except as provided in Section 10(b) of this Agreement, nothing
contained in this Agreement shall prevent a Subordinated Lender from exercising
or seeking to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any assets pledged
by Altiva to secure the Subordinated Obligations which are not included in the
Collateral.
(c) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the
Collateral, Greenwich may enforce the provisions of the Senior Documents, all in
such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their
sole business judgment. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without
limitation, the rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral, to incur
expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the
rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any
applicable jurisdiction.
(d) When all Senior Obligations have been paid in full and the
Senior Documents
-4-
no longer are in effect, the Subordinated Lenders shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of the Subordinated Loan Documents and exercise remedies
thereunder with respect to the Collateral.
(e) Any money, property or securities realized upon the sale,
disposition or other realization by Greenwich, Altiva or any Subordinated Lender
upon all or any part of the Collateral or any collections, distributions or
other proceeds received by Greenwich in respect of the Collateral shall be
applied by Greenwich, Altiva or any Subordinated Lender in the following order:
(1) FIRST, to the payment in full of all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) paid
or incurred by Greenwich in connection with the such realization on the
Collateral or the protection of their rights and interests therein;
(2) SECOND, to the payment in full of all Senior Obligations
in such order as Greenwich may elect in its sole discretion;
(3) THIRD, to pay the balance to the Subordinated Lenders,
unless the Subordinated Lenders shall have notified Greenwich in
writing that the Subordinated Lenders have been paid in full; and
(4) FOURTH, if the Subordinated Lenders has been paid in full,
to pay to Altiva, or its representative or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining.
(f) Greenwich's rights with respect to the Collateral include
the right to release any or all of the Collateral from the lien of any Senior
Document or Subordinated Loan Document in connection with the sale of such
Collateral; PROVIDED, that the net proceeds of any such sale shall be used to
permanently prepay the Senior Obligations or Subordinated Obligations
(including, without limitation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnities
provided in the Subordinated Loan Documents), and subject to the Subordinated
Lenders' right under the Subordinated Loan Documents to retain such balance as
security for repayment of the Subordinated Notes in accordance with their terms.
If Greenwich shall determine, in connection with any sale of Collateral, that
the release of the lien of any Subordinated Loan Document on such Collateral in
connection with such sale is necessary or advisable, the Subordinated Lenders
shall execute such release documents and instruments and shall take such further
actions as Greenwich shall request, subject to the Subordinated Lenders' right
under the Subordinated Loan Documents to retain such proceeds as security for
repayment of the Subordinated Notes in accordance with their terms. Each
Subordinated Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Greenwich and
any officer or agent of Greenwich, with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
place and stead of such Subordinated Lender and in the name of such Subordinated
Lender or in Greenwich's own name, from time to time in Greenwich's discretion,
for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph,
including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of transfer or release.

Each Subordinated Lender hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully
do or cause to be done pursuant to the power of attorney granted in this
paragraph.

(c) Greenwich agrees that if and when the Senior Obligations
are paid in full and satisfied, Greenwich shall deliver physical possession of
the Collateral to (and only to) the Subordinated Lenders or their designee, at
the address designated by the Subordinated Lenders in writing, unless Greenwich

Subordinated Obligations have been paid in full and satisfied in accordance with
the terms of the Subordinated Loan Documents, in which case Greenwich shall

Indemnified Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any action taken or omitted by any of the Indemnified Parties under or in
connection herewith; PROVIDED, that no Subordinated Lenders shall be liable to
any Indemnified Party for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,

interest in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other
modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or
any of the Senior Obligations or any guarantee thereof; PROVIDED, that any
Collateral which is released by Greenwich shall no longer be subject to this
