rights and remedies hereunder against the Collateral, including, without

interest by Xxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, The Access Holdings Limited Partnership, and
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx. APC shall (and Lender as manager shall cause APC to ) promptly
pay all exercise proceeds potentially directed to APC by the Optionors under the
