10
ney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of the
Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in
the Investors's discretion, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which the Investors may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including, without limitation,

designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee
shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission (other than
acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final judgment or a court of competent jurisdiction), nor
for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law. This power is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations
are paid in full and the Investment Agreement is terminated.
(c) If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained

agreement or obligation, in the name of the Grantor or the Investors, and
the expenses of the Investors incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by the Grantor pursuant to Section 7 and 9.
(d) The powers conferred on the Investors hereunder are solely to
protect their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any
Collateral in their possession and the accounting for moneys actually

Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
SECTION 7. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:
10
11
(a) The Investors may exercise in respect of the Collateral, or
any part thereof, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for
herein, in the Investment Agreement, the Notes or in the Note Documents
or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a
secured party in default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies
to the affected Collateral), and are hereby authorized and empowered, at
their election, (i) to (if they have not previously done so pursuant to
Section 2) transfer and register in their or their nominee's name the
whole or any part of the Collateral, (ii) to exercise all voting rights
with respect thereto, (iii) to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and
give acquittance for any and all cash dividends or other distributions
or monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof, and to settle
prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto, (iv)
to otherwise to act with respect to the Collateral or the proceeds
thereof as though the Investors were the outright owners thereof,
Grantor hereby irrevocably constituting the Investors as their proxies
and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution to do so and (v)
without notice, except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any
part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of
the Investors's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the
Investors may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees that, to
the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days'
notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the
time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. The Investors shall not be obligated to make
any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
The Investors may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. The Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Investors
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may
have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might
have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate
amount of the Obligations, even if the Investors accept the first offer
received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree and
waives all rights which the Grantor may have to require that all or any
part of the Collateral be marshalled upon any sale (public or private)
thereof.
11
12
(b) Any cash held by the Investors as Collateral and all proceeds
received by the Investors in respect of any sale or collection from, or
other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral, after payment
from such proceeds of the Investors's out-of-pocket costs and expenses in
connection with such sale, including, without limitation reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, may, in the discretion of the Investors, be
held by the Investors as collateral for, and/or then or at any time
thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Investors against, all or
any part of the Obligations in such manner as the Investors may elect in
their sole discretion.
(c) Other than the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral, the Investors shall have no duty with
respect thereto. The Investors shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in
their possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which it accords their own property, and shall not be
liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or
for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission
of any agent or bailee selected by the Investors in good faith.
(d) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or
realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Investors
are legally entitled, the Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency,
together with interest thereon at the Default Rate or such other rate as
shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection
and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any
attorneys employed by the Investors to collect such deficiency.
(e) The Investors may employ and maintain in the premises of the
Grantor one or more custodians selected by the Investors who shall have
full authority to do all acts necessary or desirable to protect the
Investors's interests hereunder. The Grantor hereby agree to cooperate
with any such custodian and to do whatever the Investors may reasonably
request to preserve the Collateral. All costs and expenses incurred by
the Investors, by reason of the employment of the custodian, shall be
payable the Grantor pursuant to Section 9.
12
13
SECTION 8. Registration Rights. If the Investors shall determine to
exercise their right to sell all or any of the Pledged Shares pursuant to
Section 7, the Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Investors, the Grantor
will, at its own expense:
(a) Execute and deliver, and cause the Subsidiaries and the
directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts
and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Agent,
advisable to register the Pledged Shares under the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the "Securities
Act"), and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become
effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are
required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and
supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion
of the Investors, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto;
(b) Use its best efforts to qualify the Pledged Shares under the
state securities or "Blue Sky" laws and to obtain all necessary
governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Shares, as requested
by the Investors;
(c) Cause the Subsidiaries to make available to their security
holders, as soon as practicable, an earning statement which will satisfy
the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and
(d) Do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may
be necessary to make such sale of the Pledged Shares or any part thereof
valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. The Grantor
further acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of
damages which would be suffered by the Investors by reason of the failure
by the Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section
and, consequently, agrees that, if the Grantor shall fail to perform any
of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Pledged Shares on the date
the Investors shall demand compliance with this Section.
13
14
SECTION 9. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) The Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold the
Investors, their Affiliates and each officer, director and agent of
the Investors or any of their Affiliates (the "Indemnitees") harmless
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities,
obligations, penalties, costs or expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs, expenses and other client
charges) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result
from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of
this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting
solely and directly from an Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a final determination of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Grantor will upon demand pay to each Indemnitee (i) the amount of any
and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs,
expenses and other client charges of counsel for such Indemnitee and
of any experts and agents (including, without limitation, any Person
which may act as agent of such Indemnitee), which such Indemnitee may
incur in connection with (A) the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other
modification or termination of this Agreement, or (B) the custody,
preservation, use or operation of the Collateral and (ii) the amount
of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees,
costs, expenses and other client charges of counsel for such
Indemnitee and of any experts and agents (including, without
limitation, any Person which may act as agent of such Indemnitee),
which such Indemnitee may incur in connection with (A) the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (B) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such Indemnitee
hereunder, or (C) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof.

provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, telecopied or
delivered, if to the Grantor, to them at the addresses specified in the
Investment Agreement; and if to the Investors, to them at their address

no consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom, shall be

then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(b) No failure on the part of the Investors to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other
Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and
remedies of the Investors provided herein and in the other Note
Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive
of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the
Investors under any Note Document against any party thereto are not
conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Investors to exercise
any of their rights under any other Note Document against such party
or against any other Person.
(c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or

pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement and such other
Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in
respect thereof granted to the Investors herein or otherwise. Upon
any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to
the Investors shall mean the assignee of the Investors. None of the
rights or obligations of the Grantor hereunder may be assigned or
otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the
Investors, and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and
void.
(e) Upon the satisfaction in full of the Obligations and
the termination of the Investment Agreement, (i) this Agreement and
the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all rights
