payments or other distributions paid in respect of the Collateral.

Default, all rights of Debtor, upon notice given by Collateral Agent, to

right to exercise such voting power and receive such payments.

received by Debtor contrary to the provisions of Section 5.3 shall be received
in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other
funds of Debtor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Collateral Agent as
Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or
appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Collateral Agent
as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
6. Further Action By Debtor; Covenants and Warranties.
4
6.1 Collateral Agent at all times shall have a perfected security interest
in the Collateral. Subject to the security interests described herein, Debtor
has and will continue to have full title to the Collateral free from any liens,
leases, encumbrances, judgments or other claims. Collateral Agent's security
interest in the Collateral constitutes and will continue to constitute a first,
prior and indefeasible security interest in favor of Collateral Agent. Debtor
will do all acts and things, and will execute and file all instruments
(including, but not limited to, security agreements, financing statements,
continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by Collateral Agent to
establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of Collateral
Agent in the Collateral, and will promptly on demand, pay all costs and expenses
of filing and recording, including the costs of any searches reasonably deemed
necessary by Collateral Agent from time to time to establish and determine the
validity and the continuing priority of the security interest of Collateral
Agent, and also pay all other claims and charges that, in the opinion of
Collateral Agent, exercised in good faith, are reasonably likely to materially
prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or Collateral Agent's or
Lenders' security interests therein.
6.2 Other than in the ordinary course of business, and except for
Collateral which is substituted by assets of identical or greater value or which
has become obsolete or is of inconsequential in value, Debtor will not sell,
transfer, assign or pledge those items of Collateral (or allow any such items to
be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged), without the prior written consent of
Collateral Agent other than a transfer of the Collateral to a wholly-owned
subsidiary on prior notice to Collateral Agent, and provided the Collateral
remains subject to the security interest herein described. Although Proceeds of
Collateral are covered by this Agreement, this shall not be construed to mean
that Collateral Agent consents to any sale of the Collateral, except as provided
herein. Sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business shall be free of
the security interest of Lenders and Collateral Agent and Lenders and Collateral
Agent shall promptly execute such documents (including without limitation
releases and termination statements) as may be required by Debtor to evidence or
effectuate the same.
6.3 Debtor will, at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, allow
Collateral Agent or its representatives free and complete access to the
Collateral and all of Debtor's records which in any way relate to the
Collateral, for such inspection and examination as Collateral Agent reasonably
deems necessary.
6.4 Debtor, at its sole cost and expense, will protect and defend this
Security Agreement, all of the rights of Collateral Agent and Lenders hereunder,
and the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons.
6.5 Debtor will promptly notify Collateral Agent of any levy, distraint or
other seizure by legal process or otherwise of any part of the Collateral, and
of any threatened or filed claims or proceedings that are reasonably likely to
affect or impair any of the rights of Collateral Agent under this Security
Agreement in any material respect.
6.6 Debtor, at its own expense, will obtain and maintain in force
insurance policies covering losses or damage to those items of Collateral which
constitute physical personal property. The insurance policies to be obtained by
Debtor shall be in form and amounts reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent.
Debtor shall make the Collateral Agent first a loss payee thereon to the extent
of its interest in the Collateral. Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably (until
the Obligations are paid in full) appointed Debtor' attorney-in-fact to endorse
any check or draft that may be payable to Debtor so that Collateral Agent may
collect the proceeds payable for any loss under such insurance. The proceeds of
such insurance (subject to the rights of senior secured parties), less any costs
and expenses incurred or paid by Collateral Agent in the collection thereof,
shall be applied either toward the cost of the repair or replacement of the
items damaged or destroyed, or on account of any sums secured hereby, whether or
not then due or payable.
5
6.7 Collateral Agent may, at its option, and without any obligation to do
so, pay, perform and discharge any and all amounts, costs, expenses and
liabilities herein agreed to be paid or performed by Debtor. Upon Debtor's
failure to do so, all amounts expended by Collateral Agent in so doing shall
become part of the Obligations secured hereby, and shall be immediately due and
payable by Debtor to Collateral Agent upon demand and shall bear interest at the
lesser of 15% per annum or the highest legal amount from the dates of such
expenditures until paid.
6.8 Upon the request of Collateral Agent, Debtor will furnish to
Collateral Agent within five (5) business days thereafter, or to any proposed
assignee of this Security Agreement, a written statement in form reasonably
satisfactory to Collateral Agent, duly acknowledged, certifying the amount of
the principal and interest and any other sum then owing under the Obligations,
whether to its knowledge any claims, offsets or defenses exist against the
Obligations or against this Security Agreement, or any of the terms and
provisions of any other agreement of Debtor securing the Obligations. In
connection with any assignment by Collateral Agent of this Security Agreement,
Debtor hereby agrees to cause the insurance policies required hereby to be
carried by Debtor, if any, to be endorsed in form satisfactory to Collateral
Agent or to such assignee, with loss payable clauses in favor of such assignee,
and to cause such endorsements to be delivered to Collateral Agent within ten
(10) calendar days after request therefor by Collateral Agent.
6.9 Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge,
file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers,
invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing
statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and
other reasonable assurances or instruments and take further steps relating to
the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest
hereby granted, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require to perfect its
security interest hereunder.
6.10 Debtor represents and warrants that it is the true and lawful
exclusive owner of the Collateral, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.
6.11 Debtor hereby agrees not to divest itself of any right under the
Collateral except as permitted herein absent prior written approval of the
Collateral Agent, except to a subsidiary organized and located in the United
States on prior notice to Collateral Agent provided the Collateral remains
subject to the security interest herein described.
6.12 Debtor shall cause each Subsidiary of Debtor not in existence on the
date hereof to execute and deliver to Collateral Agent promptly and in any event
within 10 days after the formation, acquisition or change in status thereof (A)
a guaranty guaranteeing the Obligations and (B) a security and pledge agreement
substantially in the form of this Agreement together with (x) certificates
evidencing all of the capital stock of any entity owned by such Subsidiary, (y)
undated stock powers executed in blank with signature guaranteed, and (z) such
opinion of counsel and such approving certificate of such Subsidiary as
Collateral Agent may reasonably request in respect of complying with any legend
on any such certificate or any other matter relating to such shares and (E) such
other agreements, instruments, approvals, legal opinions or other documents
reasonably requested by Collateral Agent in order to create, perfect, establish
the first priority of or otherwise protect any lien purported to be covered by
any such pledge and security agreement or otherwise to effect the intent that
all property and assets of such Subsidiary shall become Collateral for the
Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, "Subsidiary" means, with respect to
any entity at any date, any corporation, limited or general partnership, limited
liability company, trust, estate, association, joint venture or other business
entity) of which more than 50% of (A) the outstanding capital stock having (in
the absence of contingencies) ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the
board of directors or other managing body of such entity, (B) in the case of a
partnership
6
or limited liability company, the interest in the capital or profits of such
partnership or limited liability company or (C) in the case of a trust, estate,
association, joint venture or other entity, the beneficial interest in such
trust, estate, association or other entity business is, at the time of
determination, owned or controlled directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, by such entity.
7. Power of Attorney.
After the occurrence and during the uncured continuation of an Event of
Default as defined in Section 9 below, Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Collateral Agent as the true and lawful attorney of Debtor, with
full power of substitution, in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of
Debtor or otherwise, at any time or times, in the discretion of the Collateral
Agent, to take any action and to execute any instrument or document which the
Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable until the Obligations are satisfied.
8. Performance By The Collateral Agent.
If Debtor fails to perform any material covenant, agreement, duty or
obligation of Debtor under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, after any
applicable cure period, at any time or times in its discretion, take action to
effect performance of such obligation. All reasonable expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection with the foregoing authorization shall be payable
by Debtor as provided in Paragraph 12.1 hereof. No discretionary right, remedy
or power granted to the Collateral Agent under any part of this Agreement shall
be deemed to impose any obligation whatsoever on the Collateral Agent with
respect thereto, such rights, remedies and powers being solely for the
protection of the Collateral Agent.
9. Event of Default.
An event of default ("Event of Default") shall be deemed to have occurred
hereunder upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined and described
in this Agreement, in the Notes, Subscription Agreement, and any other agreement
to which Debtor and a Lender are parties. Upon and after any Event of Default,
after the applicable cure period, if any, any or all of the Obligations shall
become immediately due and payable at the option of the Collateral Agent, for
the benefit of the Lenders, and the Collateral Agent may dispose of Collateral
as provided below. A default by Debtor of any of its material obligations
pursuant to this Agreement shall be an Event of Default hereunder and an event
of default as defined in the Notes, and Subscription Agreement.
10. Disposition of Collateral.
Upon and after any Event of Default which is then continuing,
10.1 The Collateral Agent may exercise its rights with respect to each and
every component of the Collateral, without regard to the existence of any other
security or source of payment for the Obligations. In addition to other rights
and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the Collateral
Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a lender on default under the
Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the State of New York.
10.2 If any notice to Debtor of the sale or other disposition of
Collateral is required by then applicable law, five business (5) days prior
written notice (which Debtor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of
Section 9.612(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code) shall be given to Debtor of the
time and place of any sale of Collateral which Debtor hereby agrees may be by
private sale. The rights granted
7
in this Section are in addition to any and all rights available to Collateral
Agent under the Uniform Commercial Code.
10.3 The Collateral Agent is authorized, at any such sale, if the
Collateral Agent deems it advisable to do so, in order to comply with any
applicable securities laws, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to
persons who will represent and agree, among other things, that they are
purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof, or otherwise to restrict such sale
in such other manner as the Collateral Agent deems advisable to ensure such
compliance. Sales made subject to such restrictions shall be deemed to have been
made in a commercially reasonable manner.
10.4 All proceeds received by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders in respect of any sale, collection or other enforcement or disposition
of Collateral, shall be applied (after deduction of any amounts payable to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to Paragraph 12.1 hereof) against the Obligations pro
rata among the Lenders in proportion to their interests in the Obligations. Upon
payment in full of all Obligations, Debtor shall be entitled to the return of
all Collateral, including cash, which has not been used or applied toward the
payment of Obligations or used or applied to any and all costs or expenses of
the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the liquidation of the
Collateral (unless another person is legally entitled thereto). Any assignment
of Collateral by the Collateral Agent to Debtor shall be without representation
or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly without recourse. To the extent
allowed by law, each Lender may purchase the Collateral and pay for such
purchase, in part, by offsetting up to such Lender's pro rata portion of the
proceeds of the Collateral.
11. Waiver of Automatic Stay. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that should a
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against
Debtor, or if any of the Collateral should become the subject of any bankruptcy
or insolvency proceeding, then the Collateral Agent should be entitled to, among
other relief to which the Collateral Agent or Lenders may be entitled under the
Note, Subscription Agreement and any other agreement to which the Debtor,
Lenders or Collateral Agent are parties, (collectively "Loan Documents") and/or
applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the
automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Collateral Agent
to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or
applicable law. Debtor EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY
IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362. FURTHERMORE, Debtor EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE
BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11
U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY
WAY THE ABILITY OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW. Debtor hereby consents
to any motion for relief from stay which may be filed by the Collateral Agent in
any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against Debtor, and
further agrees not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay
filed by the Collateral Agent. Debtor represents, acknowledges and agrees that
this provision is a specific and material aspect of this Agreement, and that the
Collateral Agent would not agree to the terms of this Agreement if this waiver
were not a part of this Agreement. Debtor further represents, acknowledges and
agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that
neither the Collateral Agent nor any person acting on behalf of the Collateral
Agent has made any representations to induce this waiver, that Debtor has been
represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in the signing of
this Agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel
selected by Debtor and that Debtor has had the opportunity to discuss this
waiver with counsel. Debtor further agrees that any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding initiated by Debtor will only be brought in the Federal Court within
the Southern District of New York.

12. Miscellaneous.

amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, legal expenses and brokers' fees, which the Collateral Agent
may incur in connection with (a) sale, collection or other enforcement or
disposition of Collateral; (b) exercise or enforcement of any the rights,

all of the Obligations upon breach or threatened breach; or (c) failure by
Debtor to perform and observe any agreements of Debtor contained herein which

12.2 Waivers, Amendment and Remedies. No course of dealing by the
Collateral Agent and no failure by the Collateral Agent to exercise, or delay by
the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, remedy or power of the Collateral Agent. No amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent to any departure by
Debtor therefrom, shall, in any event, be effective unless contained in a
writing signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given. The rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent, not only
hereunder, but also under any instruments and agreements evidencing or securing
the Obligations and under applicable law are cumulative, and may be exercised by
the Collateral Agent from time to time in such order as the Collateral Agent may
elect.
