stock), Lender shall make available, from time to time on a revolving basis,

of Borrower therefor, advances (each, an "Advance") in an aggregate amount
(which amount shall include all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations,
whether or not then due and payable) which shall not exceed $29,500,000 (less
the sum of Scheduled and Mandatory Prepayments set forth in Section 2.5(c) and
(d)). Each Advance shall be made on notice, given no later than 1:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the proposed Advance, by
Borrower to Lender and no Advance shall be requested unless the amount thereof
is equal to the greater of (i) $500,000 and (ii) a whole number multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof unless the availability under this Agreement is less
than $500,000 in which case such Advance shall equal such amount; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that there shall be no minimum Advance with respect to any Letter of
Credit Obligations to be incurred pursuant to Section 2.2. Each such notice (a
"Notice of Advance") shall be in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto, executed by any duly authorized officer of Borrower, specifying therein
the requested date and amount of such Advance. Lender shall, before 5:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the date of the proposed
7
Advance, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3,
wire to a bank in the United States or the United Kingdom designated by Borrower
and reasonably acceptable to Lender the amount of such Advance.
(b) NOTE. The Loan made by Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note to be
executed and delivered by Borrower at or prior to the Closing Date, the form of
which is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B (the "Note"). The
Note shall be payable to the order of Lender and shall represent the obligation
of Borrower to pay the amount of the Loan, with interest thereon as prescribed
in Section 2.4. The date and amount of each Advance and each payment of
principal and interest or any capitalization of interest with respect thereto
shall be recorded on the books and records of Lender, which books and records
shall constitute PRIMA FACIE evidence of the accuracy of the information therein
recorded. Borrower acknowledges that, (i) as of the date hereof, the amount
outstanding under the Restated Loan Agreement is $10,752,555, (ii) the principal
amount outstanding under the Other Loan Agreements is $12,500,000; (iii) the
amount of accrued and unpaid interest outstanding as of the date hereof under
the Restated Loan Agreement and the Other Loan Agreements is $2,170,441.30;
(iv) that such amount constitutes the amount outstanding under this Agreement as
of the date hereof, and (v) that the amount of the Loan shall be increased by
the amount of any payments on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligations,
regardless of the date of such payments. The entire unpaid balance of the Loan
and all other Obligations shall be due and payable on the Repayment Date.
(c) TERMINATION OF OTHER LOAN AGREEMENTS. This Agreement shall supersede
and the Lender and Borrower agree that the other Loan Agreement are hereby
terminated.
2.2. LETTERS OF CREDIT. (a) Lender shall, subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, (i) incur Letter of Credit Obligations in
respect of the issuance, on the Closing Date, of such Letters of Credit
supporting obligations of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as Borrower shall
request by written notice to Lender executed by any duly authorized officer of
Borrower, which is received by Lender not less than 2 Business Days prior to the
Closing Date, and (ii) incur from time to time on written request of Borrower or
its Subsidiaries, additional Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of Letters
of Credit supporting obligations of Borrower or its Subsidiaries; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date which is after
September 30, 1998. It is understood that the determination of the bank or
other legally authorized Person (including Lender) which shall issue or accept,
as the case may be, any letter of credit or bankers acceptance contemplated by
this Section 2.2(a) shall be made by Lender, in its sole discretion.
(b) In the event that Lender shall make any payment on or pursuant to any
Letter of Credit Obligation, such payment shall then be deemed to constitute an
Advance under Section 2.1(a) hereof (whether or not Borrower is then permitted
to request Advances at such time).
8
(c) In the event that Lender shall incur any Letter of Credit Obligations
pursuant hereto at the request or on behalf of Borrower hereunder, Borrower
shall pay to Lender, as compensation to Lender for such Letter of Credit
Obligation, all fees and charges paid by Lender on account of such Letter of
Credit Obligation to the issuer or like party. Fees payable in respect of
Letter of Credit Obligations shall be paid to Lender, in arrears, on the first
day of each month for the preceding month.
2.3. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall apply the proceeds of the Advances
for the general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries.
2.4. INTEREST ON LOAN . (a) (i) From the Closing Date through and
including the Commitment Termination Date, interest accrues on the amount
outstanding from time to time under the Loan at the rate of eleven and one-half
percent (11-1/2%) per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the
number of days elapsed. Interest will be capitalized on June 30, of each year
of the Loan and shall be added to the principal amount outstanding at such time
under the Loan.
(ii) Interest accrued and uncapitalized on the Repayment Date shall be
payable on such date.
(b) So long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the interest rate
applicable to the Loan shall be increased by 3% per annum above the rate
otherwise applicable.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.4, if
at any time until payment in full of all of the Obligations, the applicable rate
of interest under this Agreement exceeds the highest rate of interest
permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a
final determination, deem applicable hereto (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"), then in
such event and so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate
of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if at any time thereafter the applicable rate of
interest under this Agreement is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower
shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such
time as the total interest received by Lender from the making of advances
hereunder is equal to the total interest which Lender would have received had
the applicable rate of interest under this Agreement been (but for the operation
of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date.
Thereafter, the interest rate payable hereunder shall be the applicable rate of
interest under this Agreement, unless and until such rate shall again exceed the
Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply.
2.5. PREPAYMENTS. (a) Upon the Lender ceasing to be the beneficial owner of
more than 50% of
9
the Borrower's Common Stock as a result of any transaction except the direct or
indirect transfer of the Common Stock of Borrower by Lender, the commitment of
Lender to make Advances under this Agreement shall immediately terminate, and
Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender the full amount of the Loan then
outstanding, together with any accrued but uncapitalized interest thereon.
(b) Borrower shall have the right, at any time, to prepay the Loan, in whole or
in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days
irrevocable notice to Lender specifying (i) the amount to be repaid and (ii) the
date of such repayment. If any such notice is given, Borrower shall make the
prepayment specified therein, and such prepayment shall be due and payable as
specified therein. Amounts prepaid may be reborrowed, but only so long as
Lender retains beneficial ownership of more than 50% of Borrower's Common Stock.
Each partial prepayment of the Loan pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be in
an amount equal to the lesser of $1,650,000 or a whole number multiple of
$1,650,000 in excess thereof or such lesser amount outstanding and shall be
accompanied by payment of interest (whether or not capitalized) allocable to the
amount of principal prepaid.
(c) Borrower will make mandatory principal prepayments (i) at the rate of
$500,000 per month beginning July 1, 2001; and (ii) at the rate of $1,000,000
per month beginning July 1, 2002 and ended May 1, 2003 ("Scheduled Prepayment")
or, if less, the amount of the Loan Outstanding..
(d) The Company will make additional prepayments of principal at the rate of
50% of the net proceeds of a Significant Financing exceeding $8,000,000 on the
second business day following the date the Borrower completes a Significant
Financing ("Mandatory Prepayments"). Concurrently with each Mandatory
Prepayment, the Borrower will pay interest (whether or not capitalized)
associated with such Mandatory Prepayment.
2.6. RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS. Borrower shall make each payment under this
Agreement not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in
lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to
Lender's depositary bank as designated by Lender from time to time for deposit
in Lender's depositary account. For purposes only of computing interest
hereunder, all payments shall be applied by Lender on the day payment has been
credited by Lender's depository bank to Lender's account in immediately
available funds. For purposes of determining the amount of funds available for
borrowing by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, such payments shall be
applied by Lender against the outstanding amount of the Loan at the time they
are credited to its account.
2.7. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct
the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received
by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower irrevocably agrees that
Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right
10
to apply any and all such payments against the then due and payable Obligations
of Borrower and in repayment of the Loan as Lender may deem advisable. Lender
is authorized to, and at its option may, make advances on behalf of Borrower for
payment of all fees, expenses, charges, costs, principal and interest incurred
by Borrower hereunder when and as Borrower fails to promptly pay any such
amounts. At Lender's option and to the extent permitted by law, any advances so
made may be deemed Advances constituting part of the Loan hereunder.
2.8. ACCOUNTING. Lender will, upon Borrower's request, provide a monthly
accounting of transactions under the Loan to Borrower within 10 days of the end
of the month. Each and every such accounting shall (absent manifest error) be
deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all
matters reflected therein, unless Borrower, within 20 days after the date any
such accounting is rendered, shall notify Lender in writing of any objection
which Borrower may have to any such accounting, describing the basis for such
objection with specificity. In that event, only those items expressly objected
to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrower. Lender's
determination, based upon the facts available, of any item objected to by
Borrower in such notice shall (absent manifest error) be final, binding and
conclusive on Borrower, unless Borrower shall commence a judicial proceeding to
resolve such objection within 45 days following Lender's notifying Borrower of
such determination.
2.9. INDEMNITY. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, Affiliates and shareholders (collectively, the
"Indemnified Persons") harmless from and against any and all suits, actions,
proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, including
those incurred upon any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or
incurred by any Indemnified Person as the result of the execution of the Loan
Documents or extension of credit hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower
shall not be liable for such indemnification to such Indemnified Person to the
extent that any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or
expense results from such Indemnified Person's negligence or willful misconduct.
2.10. ACCESS. Lender and any of its officers, employees and/or agents shall
have the right, exercisable as frequently as Lender determines to be
appropriate, during normal business hours (or at such other times as may
reasonably be requested by Lender), to inspect the properties and facilities of
Borrower and to inspect, audit and make extracts from all of Borrower's records,
files and books of account. Borrower shall deliver any document or instrument
reasonably necessary for Lender, to obtain records from any service bureau
maintaining records for Borrower, and shall maintain duplicate records or
supporting documentation on media, including, without limitation, computer tapes
and discs owned by Borrower. Borrower shall instruct its banking and other
financial institutions to make available to Lender such information and records
as Lender may reasonably request.
11
2.11. TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder or under the
Note shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.11, free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or any political
subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").
If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of
any sum payable hereunder or under the Note to Lender, (i) the sum payable shall
be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.11) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and
(iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or
other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary
taxes or any other sales, transfer, excise, mortgage recording or property
taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or
under the Note or from the execution, sale, transfer, delivery or registration
of, or otherwise with respect to the Loan Documents and any other agreements and
instruments contemplated thereby (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) Borrower shall indemnify Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.11) paid by Lender and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the
date such Lender makes written demand therefor.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower shall
furnish to Lender, at its address referred to in Section 11.10, the original or
a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section
2.11 shall survive both (i) the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder and under the Note and (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

standing under the laws of its state of incorporation; (ii) except as indicated
on Schedule 4.1(ii) hereto, is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of
property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification (except for
jurisdictions in which such failure to so qualify or to be in good standing
would not have a Material Adverse Effect); (iii) has the requisite corporate
power and authority and the legal right to own, pledge, mortgage or otherwise
encumber and operate its properties, to lease the property it operates under
lease, and to conduct its business as now, heretofore and proposed to be
conducted; (iv) except as indicated on Schedule 4.1(iv) hereto, has all material
licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, and has made all material
filings with, and has given all material notices to, all Governmental
Authorities having jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership,
operation and conduct; (v) is in compliance with its certificate of
incorporation and by-laws; and (vi) is in compliance with all applicable
provisions of law where the failure to comply would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

principal place of business is set forth in Schedule 4.2 hereto, and, after the
Closing Date, as set forth in a written amendment thereto delivered by Borrower

set forth on Schedule 4.3 hereto, which sets forth such Subsidiaries, together
with their respective jurisdictions of organization, and the authorized and
outstanding capital Stock of each such Subsidiary, by class and number and
percentage of each class legally owned by Borrower or a Subsidiary of Borrower
or any other Person, or to be owned by the Closing Date or (b) after the Closing
Date, as set forth
14
in a written amendment to Schedule 4.3 delivered by Borrower to Lender. There

4.4. CORPORATE POWER; AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS. The execution,
delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents, Ancillary Agreements
and all instruments and documents to be delivered by Borrower, to the extent it
is a party thereto, hereunder and thereunder: (i) are within Borrower's
corporate power; (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary or proper
corporate action; (iii) are not in contravention of any provision of Borrower's
certificates or articles of incorporation or by-laws; (iv) will not violate any
law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or governmental

properties is bound; (vi) will not result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien upon any of the property of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and
(vii) do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or

delivered for the benefit of or on behalf of Borrower and each constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, to the extent it is a party
thereto, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
4.5. SOLVENCY. After giving pro forma effect to the Preferred Stock Purchase
and Termination and Release and the initial Advance, if made on the Closing
Date, and the payment of all estimated legal, accounting and other fees related
hereto, Borrower will be Solvent as of and on the Closing Date.
4.6 LABOR MATTERS. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against
Borrower pending or, to Borrower's knowledge, threatened which would have a
Material Adverse Effect.
4.7 INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is
an "investment company" or an "affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or
"principal underwriter" for, an "investment company", as such terms are defined
in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The making of the Advances
by Lender, the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof by Borrower and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents will not violate any provision of such Act or any rule,
regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
4.8 MARGIN REGULATIONS. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns
any "margin security," as that term is defined in Regulations G and U of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"),
and the proceeds of the Advances will be used only for the purposes contemplated
hereunder. The Advances will not be used, directly or indi-
15
rectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security, for the
purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred
to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might
cause any of the loans under this Agreement to be considered a "purpose credit"
within the meaning of Regulations G, T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.
Borrower will not take or permit any Subsidiary or agent acting on its behalf to
take any action which might cause this Agreement or any document or instrument
delivered pursuant hereto to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve
Board.
4.9 NO LITIGATION. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9 hereto, no action,
claim or proceeding is now pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened
against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at law, in equity or otherwise,
before any court, board, commission, agency or instrumentality of any federal,
state, or local government or of any agency or subdivision thereof, or before
any arbitrator or panel of arbitrators, which, if determined adversely, could
have a Material Adverse Effect, nor to the knowledge of Borrower does a state of
facts exist which is reasonably likely to give rise to such proceedings.
4.10 PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS AND LICENSES. Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries owns all material patents, patent applications, copyrights,
trademarks, trademark applications, and know-how (collectively, "Intangible
Property") necessary to continue to conduct its business as heretofore conducted
by it, now conducted by it and proposed to be conducted by it, each of which is
listed, together with Patent and Trademark Office application or registration
numbers, where applicable, on Schedule 4.11(a) hereto. Further, (i) Borrower

hereto); (ii) to Borrower's knowledge, the Intangible Property is valid and
subsisting and is enforceable; (iii) to Borrower's knowledge, there are no
actual or threatened claims by third parties regarding the Intangible Property;
(iv) to Borrower's knowledge, the Intangible Property does not infringe or
otherwise violate any rights of any third party, except where any violation or
infringement would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

month and for the period then ended, and that there was no Default or Event of
Default in existence as of such time.

Default or Event of Default or development or information, including the
anticipated effect thereof, which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing

lender with respect to any Senior Debt (the "Senior Lender") declare all
Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all such Obligations,
without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which
are expressly waived by Borrower, shall become due and payable (x) if none of
the Senior Debt is outstanding, immediately and (y) if any Senior Debt is
outstanding, upon the first to occur of (1) acceleration of any Senior Debt or
(2) the fifth Business Day after receipt by Borrower and the Senior Lender of
such written notice given hereunder, unless on or prior to the date such amounts
become due and payable Borrower shall have cured the default, event or condition
resulting in such Event of Default and no other Event of Default is then
continuing and Borrower shall have given notice of such cure to Agent and
Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified in Section 9.1(f), (g) or (h) hereof, such Obligations shall become
due and payable without declaration, notice or demand by Lender.
Notwithstanding the above, at any time after such declaration of acceleration
has been made and before payment in full of the Obligations, Lender, by written
notice to Borrower, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences
if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of the Loan
which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured
or waived.

acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choice with respect to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions evidenced by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9.4 RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or
the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now
or hereafter existing under this Agreement, and the Note held by Lender
irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Lender
agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made
by Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Lender under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which Lender may have.
10. SUBORDINATION
10.1. LOAN SUBORDINATED TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. Borrower covenants and
agrees, and Lender likewise covenants and agrees, that all payments of the
principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on, the Loan and all other
Obligations by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (collectively the
"Subordinated Indebtedness") shall be subordinated in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 10 to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness of Borrower. For purposes of this Section 10, the term "Senior
Indebtedness" shall mean the Senior Debt of Borrower and shall include principal
of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing at the rate
provided for in the documents evidencing such Senior Indebtedness after the

hereof, whether or not an allowed claim in such proceeding) on all loans and
other extensions of credit under, and all expenses, fees, reimbursements,
indemnities and other amounts owing pursuant to, all such Senior Debt of the
Borrower.
23
10.2 PRIORITY AND PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS IN CERTAIN EVENTS. (a) Upon
payment or distribution of assets or securities of Borrower of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution or
winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of Borrower,
whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
other proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any
other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Borrower, all Senior
Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash, or payment provided for in
cash or cash equivalents in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, before any direct or indirect payments or distributions,
including, without limitation, by exercise of set-off, of any cash, property or
securities on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the
Subordinated Indebtedness and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be entitled to receive (pro rata on the basis of the respective amounts of
Senior Indebtedness held by them) directly, for application to the payment
thereof (to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full after
giving effect to any substantially concurrent payment or distribution to or
provision for payment to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness), any payment
or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness. The holders of Senior
Indebtedness are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on
behalf of Lender if they or any of them do not file, and there is not otherwise
filed on behalf of the Holders, a proper claim or proof of claim in the form
required in any such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the
time to file such claim or claims.
(b) No direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of Borrower of principal of
(premium, if any), or interest on, the Loan, whether pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, upon acceleration or otherwise, shall be made if at the time of
such payment there exists (i) a default in the payment of all or any portion of
principal of (premium, if any), interest on, fees or other amounts owing in
connection with any Senior Indebtedness, or (ii) any other default or event of
default under any document or instrument evidencing the Senior Indebtedness as
the same may be amended, modified or otherwise refinanced (and Lender has
received notice thereof from the agent for or representative of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness (the
"Representative") as provided below), and in either case such default or event
of default shall not have been cured or waived in writing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if within the period specified in the next sentence with respect to a
default or event of default referred to in clause (ii) above, the holders of
Senior Indebtedness have not declared the Senior Indebtedness to be immediately
due and payable (or have declared such Senior Indebtedness to be immediately due
and payable and within such period have rescinded such acceleration), then and
in that event, payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loan shall be
resumed. With respect to any default or event of default under clause (ii)
above the period referred to in the preceding sentence shall commence upon
receipt by Lender of a written notice or notices (which shall specify all
defaults and events of default existing under such documents or instruments on
the date of such notice and of which the Representative, whichever is giving
such notice, had actual knowledge at such time)
24
of the commencement of such period from the Representative, and shall end at the
completion of the 180th day after the beginning of such period. Only one such
180 day period may commence within any 360 consecutive days. Upon termination
of any such period, Borrower shall resume payments on account of the principal
of (premium, if any), and interest on, the Loan, and on account of all other
Subordinated Indebtedness, subject to the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2
hereof.
(c) (i) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing
provision prohibiting such payment or distribution, Lenders shall
have received any payment on account of the Subordinated
Indebtedness at a time when such payment is prohibited by such
provision before the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, then and
in such event, such payment or distribution shall be received and
held in trust by Lender apart from its other assets and paid over or
delivered to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid
to the extent necessary to pay in full in cash the principal of
(premium, if any), and interest on, such Senior Indebtedness in
accordance with its terms and after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
(ii) Nothing contained in this Section 10 will limit the right of
the Lender to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the
Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof.
(iii) Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities
referred to in this Section 10, Lender shall be entitled to rely
upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in
which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization
proceedings are pending, and upon a certificate of the receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person
making any such payment or distribution, delivered to Lender for the
purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other
Indebtedness of Borrower, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Section 10.
10.3. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS NOT TO BE IMPAIRED . No right
of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce
subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by Borrower with the terms and provisions and covenants herein
regardless of any knowledge thereof such holder may have or otherwise be charged
with.
The provisions of this Section 10 are intended to be for the benefit of, and
shall be enforceable
25
directly by, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness. Borrower and Lender
acknowledges that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are or will be relying
upon the provisions of this Section 10 in extending such Senior Indebtedness.
10.4 SUBROGATION . Upon the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness,
Lender shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made
to the holders of, or otherwise applied to payment of, the Senior Indebtedness
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 and to the rights of the holders
of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of
Borrower made on the Senior Indebtedness until the Loan shall be paid in full;
and for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to
holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which
Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 10, and no
payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 to holders of Senior
Indebtedness by Lender, shall, as between Borrower, their creditors other than
holders of Senior Indebtedness and Lender, be deemed to be payment by Borrower
to or on account of Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions
of this Section 10 are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of
the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other
hand.
If any payment or distribution to which Lender would otherwise have been
entitled but for the provisions of this Section 10 shall have been applied,
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10, to the payment of Senior
Indebtedness, then and in such case, Lender shall be entitled to receive from
the holders of Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding any payments or
distributions received by such holders of Senior Indebtedness in excess of the
amount sufficient to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full.
10.5. OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER UNCONDITIONAL . Nothing contained in this
Section 10 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Note is intended to or shall
impair, as between Borrower and Lender, the obligations of Borrower, which are
absolute and unconditional, to pay to Lender the principal of (premium, if any),
and interest on, the Loan as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of Lender and creditors of Borrower other than the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the
occurrence of a default or event of default under this Agreement, subject to the
rights, if any, under this Section 10 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in
respect of cash, property or securities of Borrower received upon the exercise
of any such remedy.
The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, or interest on, the
Loan by reason of any provision of this Section 10 shall not be construed as
preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder.
26
10.6. NOTICE TO LENDER . Borrower shall give prompt written notice to
Lender of any fact known to Borrower which would prohibit the making of any
payment on or in respect of the Loan, but failure to give such notice shall not
affect the subordination of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior
Indebtedness provided in this Section 10. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 10 or any other provision of this Agreement or the Loan, Lender
shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would
prohibit the making of any payment to or in respect of the Loan, unless and
until Lender shall have received written notice thereof from Borrower, the
Representative or other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and, prior to the receipt
of any such written notice, subject to the provisions of this Section 10, Lender
shall be entitled in all respects to assume no such facts exist. Nothing
contained in this Section 10.6 shall limit the right of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to recover payments as contemplated by Sections 10.1 and 10.2.
10.7. RIGHT OF LENDER AS HOLDER OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS . Lender in its
individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Section 10 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held
by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and
nothing in this Agreement shall deprive Lender of any of its rights as such
holder.
10.8 REINSTATEMENT . The provisions of this Section 10 shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, and the Senior Indebtedness shall not
be deemed to be paid in full, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of
any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the
holder thereof upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1. COMPLETE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT; SALE OF INTEREST.

portion thereof including, without limitation, Borrower's rights, title,

amendments, supplements, waivers or consents at the request of Borrower, then,

the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender
thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any
suspension or waiver by Lender of an Event of Default by Borrower under the Loan
Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default by
Borrower under this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents whether the
same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different
type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and
representations of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and no Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement and no
defaults by Borrower under any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such suspension or waiver is by

specifying such suspension or waiver.
11.4 REMEDIES . Lender's rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be

or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
