modifications or refinancings of the Obligations, the Grantor hereby bargains,
sells, conveys, assigns, sets over, mortgages, pledges, hypothecates and
transfers to the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Secured Parties,
their successors
3
and assigns, a security interest in, all of such Grantor's right, title and
interest in, to and under the Collateral (the "Security Interest").
-----------------
Section 2.2. No Assumption of Liability. The Security Interest is granted
--------------------------
as security only and shall not subject the Secured Parties to, or in any way
alter or modify, any obligation or liability of the Grantor with respect to or
arising out of the Collateral.
ARTICLE III. Representations and Warranties
The Grantor represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that:
Section 3.1. Title and Authority. The Grantor has good and valid rights in
-------------------
and title to the Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a
security interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the
Secured Parties the Security Interest and to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent
or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval which has
been obtained.
Section 3.2. Filings; Actions to Achieve Perfection. Fully executed
--------------------------------------
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as
applicable) or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations containing
a description of the Collateral have been delivered to the Secured Parties for
filing in each United States governmental, municipal or other office specified
in Schedule A, which are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are
----------
necessary to publish notice of and protect the validity of and to establish a
legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Secured Parties in
respect of all Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by
filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political
subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or
subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or
reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under
applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements or with
respect to the filing of amendments or new filings to reflect the change of the
Grantor's name, location, identity or corporate structure. The Grantor's name is
listed in the preamble of this Agreement identically to how it appears on its
certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents.
Section 3.3. Validity and Priority of Security Interest. The Security
------------------------------------------
Interest constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all the
Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, (b) subject
only to the filings described in Section 3.2 above and other previously
perfected security interests in the Collateral listed on Schedule 3.3 to this
------------
Agreement ("Existing Liens"), a perfected security interest in all Collateral in
--------------
which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration
in the United States pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable
law in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its
territories and possessions or any other country, state or nation (or any
political subdivision thereof). The Security Interest is and shall be
subordinate to any other Existing Lien on any of the Collateral.
Section 3.4. Absence of Other Liens. The Grantor's Collateral is owned by
----------------------
the Grantor free and clear of any Lien other than Existing Liens. Without
limiting the foregoing and except as set forth on Schedule 3.4 to this
------------
Agreement, the Grantor has not filed or consented to any
4
filing described in Schedule A in favor of any Person other than the Secured
----------
Parties, nor permitted the granting or assignment of a security interest or
permitted perfection of any security interest in the Collateral in favor of any
Person other than the Secured Parties. The Grantor's having possession of all
instruments and cash constituting Collateral from time to time and the filing of
financing statements in the offices referred to in Schedule A hereto results in
----------
the perfection of such security interest. Such security interest is, or in the
case of Collateral in which the Grantor obtain rights after the date hereof,
will be, a perfected, first priority security interest. Such notices, filings
and all other action necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security
interest have been duly taken.
Section 3.5. Valid and Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes the
----------------------------
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Grantor, enforceable against the
Grantor in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification
provisions contained in this Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws. ARTICLE IV. Covenants

principal place of business, any office in which it maintains books or

made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in
order for the Secured Parties to continue at all times following such
change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security
interest in all the Collateral.
(b) Without limiting Section 4.1(a), without the prior written consent
of the Secured Parties in each instance, the Grantor shall not change its

prudent and standard practices used in industries that are the same as or
similar to those in which the Grantor is engaged, but in any event to include
complete accounting records indicating all payments and proceeds received with
respect
5
to any part of the Collateral, and, at such time or times as the Secured Parties

duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail satisfactory to the
Secured Parties showing the identity, amount and location of any and all
Collateral.

limit or relieve the Grantor of any other covenants hereunder).
Section 4.4. Protection of Security. The Grantor shall, at its own cost and
----------------------
expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral
against all persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Secured Parties
in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien.
Section 4.5. Inspection and Verification. The Secured Parties and such
---------------------------
persons as the Secured Parties may reasonably designate shall have the right to
inspect the Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and
copies from such records) and the premises upon which any of the Collateral is
located, to discuss the Grantor's affairs with the officers of the Grantor and
its independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures the
validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any
other matter relating to, the Collateral, including, in the case of collateral
in the possession of any third Person, by contacting any account debtor or third
Person possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification.

Section 4.6. Taxes; Encumbrances. At their option, the Secured Parties may
-------------------
discharge, Liens other than Existing Liens at any time levied or placed on the
Collateral and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to
the extent the Grantor fails to do so and the Grantor shall reimburse the
Secured Parties on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the
Secured Parties pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall be interpreted as excusing the Grantor from the
performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Secured Parties to cure or
perform, any covenants or other obligation of the Grantor with respect to any
Lien or maintenance or preservation of Collateral as set forth herein.
Section 4.7. Use and Disposition of Collateral. The Grantor shall not make
---------------------------------
or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of any Collateral or
shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral without the prior
written consent of the Secured Parties. The Grantor shall not make or permit to
be made any transfer of any Collateral and the Grantor shall remain at all times
in possession of the Collateral owned by it, other than with respect to Existing
Liens and other liens approved by the Secured Parties.
Section 4.8. Insurance/Notice of Loss. Within a reasonable period of time
------------------------
following the date of this Agreement, Grantor, at its own expense, shall
maintain or cause to be maintained
6
insurance covering physical loss or damage to the Collateral. In extension of
the foregoing and without limitation, such insurance shall be payable to the
Secured Parties as loss payee under a "standard" loss payee clause, and the
Secured Parties shall be listed as an "additional insured" on Grantor's general
liability insurance. Such insurance shall not be terminated, cancelled or not
renewed for any reason, including non-payment of insurance premiums, unless the
insurer shall have provided the Secured Parties at least 30 days prior written
notice. Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Secured Parties
(and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Secured Parties) as its
true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose, at any time
following the Secured Parties' demand for payment of the Notes, of making,
settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of
insurance, endorsing the name of Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or
other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for
making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that
Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the
policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part
relating thereto, the Secured Parties may, without waiving or releasing any
obligation or liability of Grantor hereunder, in their sole discretion, obtain
and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other
actions with respect thereto as the Secured Parties deem advisable. All sums
disbursed by the Secured Parties in connection and in accordance with this
Section, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other
charges relating thereto, shall be payable upon demand, by Grantor to the
Secured Parties and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby. Grantor
shall promptly notify the Secured Parties if any material portion of the
Collateral owned or held by Grantor is damaged or destroyed. The proceeds of any
casualty insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of the Collateral
shall (i) so long as the Secured Parties have not demanded payment of the Notes,
be disbursed to Grantor for direct application by Grantor solely to the repair
or replacement of Grantor's property so damaged or destroyed, and (ii) in all
other circumstances, be held by the Secured Parties as cash collateral for the
Obligations. The Secured Parties may, at their sole option, disburse from time
to time all or any part of such proceeds so held as cash collateral, upon such
terms and conditions as the Secured Parties may reasonably prescribe, for direct
application by the Secured Parties solely to the repair or replacement of
Grantor's property so damaged or destroyed, or Grantor may apply all or any part
of such proceeds to the Obligations.
Section 4.9. Legend. Grantor shall legend, in form and manner satisfactory
------

perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby,
including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest

with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States
Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any
other country) or other documents for the purpose of perfecting,
confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest
granted by Grantor, without the signature of Grantor, and naming Grantor as
debtor and the Secured Parties as secured party; and

and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully
and completely as though the Secured Parties were the absolute owner of the
Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Secured Parties
to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by the Secured Parties, or to present
or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in
respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral
or any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset
in favor of Grantor or to any claim or action against the Secured Parties.
(b) The provisions of this Article shall in no event relieve Grantor
of any of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Collateral or any part
thereof or impose any obligation on the Secured Parties to proceed in any
particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any
way limit the exercise by the Secured Parties of any other or further right
8
which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder,
by law or otherwise.
ARTICLE VI. Remedies
Section 6.1. Remedies upon Default.
---------------------
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Grantor agrees to deliver each item of its Collateral to the
Secured Parties on demand, and it is agreed that the Secured Parties shall
have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or
different times (but at all times subject to any Existing Liens): with or
without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for
performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for
trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the
purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral, exercise
Grantor's right to xxxx and receive payment for completed work and,
generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Grantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall
have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to
sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public
or private sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for
cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Secured Parties shall deem
appropriate. The Secured Parties shall be authorized at any such sale (if
it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or
purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale
the Secured Parties shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to
the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free
from any claim or right on the part of Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and
appraisal which Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under
any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(b) The Secured Parties shall give Grantor ten (10) days' written
notice (which Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of
Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code) of the Secured Parties'
intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a
public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case
of a sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, shall state the
board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the
Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such
board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times
within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Secured
Parties may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such
sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot
as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Secured Parties may (in their
sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Secured Parties shall not be
obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to
do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall
have been given. The Secured Parties may, without
9
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same
to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all
or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the
Collateral so sold may be retained by the Secured Parties until the sale
price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Secured
Parties shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in
case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like
notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale
made pursuant to this Section, the Secured Parties may bid for or purchase,
free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay,
valuation or appraisal on the part of Grantor (all said rights being also
hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral
or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account
thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Secured Parties from
Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Secured Parties
may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of
such property without further accountability to Grantor therefor. For
purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any
portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Secured Parties
shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and Grantor
shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion
thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Secured
Parties shall have entered into such an agreement all Obligations have been
paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein
conferred upon it, the Secured Parties may proceed by a suit or suits at
law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or
any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts
having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a
court-appointed receiver.
Section 6.2. Application of Proceeds. The Secured Parties shall apply the
-----------------------
proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral
consisting of cash, as follows:
(a) FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the
Secured Parties in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in
connection with this Agreement or any of the Obligations, including all court
costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, and any other
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder, under the Letter Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents;
(b) SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations; and
(c) THIRD, to Grantor, its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
Subject to the foregoing, the Secured Parties shall have absolute
discretion as to the time of application of such proceeds, moneys or balances in
accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Secured
Parties (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding), the receipt of any such proceeds, moneys or balances by
the Secured Parties or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient
discharge to the
10
purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to the Secured Parties or such officer or be answerable
in any way for the misapplication thereof.
Section 6.3. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose
---------------------------------------------
of enabling the Secured Parties to exercise rights and remedies under this
Article at such time as the Secured Parties shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Parties
an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to Grantor) to use, license or sub-license any of the
Collateral consisting of intellectual property now owned or hereafter acquired
by Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license
reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Secured Parties
may be exercised, at the option of the Secured Parties, only following the
Secured Parties' demand for payment of the Notes.

or this Agreement.

---------------------
representations and warranties made by Grantor herein and in the certificates or
other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties
and shall survive the making of the loan and the execution and delivery to the
Secured Parties of the Notes, regardless of any investigation made by the
Secured Parties or on their behalf; and shall continue in full force and effect
until this Agreement shall terminate.

Documents.

amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including all reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of any experts or
agents, which the Secured Parties may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement (including the customary fees and charges
of the Secured Parties for any audits conducted by them or on their behalf
with respect to the accounts inventory), (ii) the custody or preservation
of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the
Collateral, (iii) the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the
rights of the Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure of Grantor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
(b) Grantor agrees to indemnify the Secured Parties and the agent,
contractors and employees of the Secured Parties (collectively, the
"Indemnitees") against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all
-----------
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, incurred by or
asserted against any of them arising out of, in any way connected with, or
as a result of, the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement
or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating hereto or to the
Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby. The provisions of this Section shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of
this Agreement, the Letter Loan Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan
Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of
any term or provision of this Agreement, the Letter Loan Agreement, the
Notes or the other Loan Documents, or any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Secured Parties. All amounts due under this Section shall be
payable on written demand therefor.
Section 7.6. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
-------------
WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 7.7. Waivers; Amendment.
------------------
12
(a) No failure or delay of the Secured Parties in exercising any
power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the Letter Loan
Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement, the
Letter Loan Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents or consent to any
departure by Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
No notice to or demand on Grantor in any case shall entitle Grantor to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements, in writing
entered into by the Secured Parties and Grantor.
Section 7.8. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
--------------------
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE LETTER LOAN AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES.
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LETTER LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES, AS APPLICABLE, BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 7.9. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
------------
contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
(it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that
of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 7.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
------------
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one contract. Each party shall be entitled
to rely on a facsimile signature of any other party hereunder as if it were an
original.
Section 7.11. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
-------------------------------------------
(a) Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State
court or Federal court of
13
the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the Letter Loan Agreement or the Notes, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of
any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto 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. Nothing in
this Agreement shall affect any right that the Secured Parties may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement, the Letter Loan Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents
against Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Letter Loan
Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or
Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.1. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to process
in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 7.12. Termination. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall
-----------
terminate when all the Obligations have been paid in full, at which time the
Secured Parties shall execute and deliver to Grantor, at Grantor's expense, all
Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents which
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Any execution and
delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section shall
be without recourse to or warranty by the Secured Parties.
Section 7.13. Prejudgment Remedy Waiver. Grantor acknowledges that this
-------------------------
Agreement, the Letter Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents
evidence a commercial transaction and that it could, under certain circumstances
have the right, to notice of and hearing on the right of the Secured Parties to
obtain a prejudgment remedy, such as attachment, garnishment and/or replevin,
upon commencing any litigation against Grantor. Notwithstanding, Grantor hereby
waives all rights to notice, judicial hearing or prior court order to which it
might otherwise have the right under any state or federal statute or
constitution in connection with the obtaining by the Secured Parties of any
prejudgment remedy by reason of this Agreement, the Letter Loan Agreement, the
Notes, the other Loan Documents or by reason of the Obligations or any renewals
or extensions of the same. Grantor also waives any and all objection which it
might otherwise assert, now or in the future, to the exercise or use by the
Secured Parties of any right of setoff, repossession or self help as may
presently exist under statute or common law.
Section 7.14. Concerning Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The parties acknowledge and agree to the following provisions of this Agreement
in anticipation of the possible application, in one or more jurisdictions to the
transactions contemplated hereby, of
14
the revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the form or
substantially in the form approved in 1998 by the American Law Institute and the
National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Law ("Revised Article 9").
-----------------
(a) In applying the law of any jurisdiction in which Revised Article 9
is in effect, the Collateral is all assets of Grantor, whether or not within the
scope of Revised Article 9. The Collateral shall also include, without
limitation, the following categories of assets as defined in Revised Article 9:
goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments
(including promissory notes), documents, accounts (including
health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible or
electronic), deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the
letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities
and all other investment property, general intangibles (including payment
intangibles and software), supporting obligations and any and all proceeds of
any thereof, wherever located, whether now owned and hereafter acquired. If
Grantor shall at any time, whether or not Revised Article 9 is in effect in any
particular jurisdiction, acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in Revised
Article 9, Grantor shall immediately notify the Secured Parties in a writing
signed by Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Secured Parties
in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all
upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Secured Parties. The Secured Parties may at any time and
from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of Article V, file financing
statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the
Collateral as all assets of Grantor or words of similar effect and which contain
any other information required by Part 5 of Revised Article 9 for the
sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation
statement or amendment, including whether Grantor is an organization, the type
of organization and any organization identification number issued to Grantor.
Grantor shall furnish any such information to the Secured Parties promptly upon
request. Any such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments
may be signed by the Secured Parties on behalf of Grantor, as provided in
Article V, and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not
Revised Article 9 is then in effect in that jurisdiction.
(b) Grantor shall at any time and from time to time, whether or not
Revised Article 9 is in effect in any particular jurisdiction, take such steps
as the Secured Parties may reasonably request for the Secured Parties (i) to
obtain an acknowledgement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured
Parties, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral that the
bailee holds such Collateral for the Secured Parties, (ii) to obtain "control"
of any investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or
electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined in Revised Article 9 with
corresponding provisions in xx.xx. 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 relating to
what constitutes "control" for such items of Collateral), with any agreements
establishing control to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured
Parties, and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of
the Secured Parties' security interest in any of the Collateral and of the
preservation of its rights therein, whether in anticipation and following the
effectiveness of Revised Article 9 in any jurisdiction.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to narrow the
scope of the security interest granted hereby in any of the Collateral or the
perfection or priority thereof or to impair or otherwise limit any of the
rights, powers, privileges or remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder except
as (and then only to the extent) specifically mandated by Revised Article 9 to
the extent then applicable.
