Loans, Notes and other Secured Obligations. This Agreement sets forth the terms

Agent to vest in the Collateral Agent acting on behalf of the Secured Parties a
valid and perfected first priority security interest in such Asset Sale Proceeds
Account. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Control Agreement,

ARTICLE V
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 5.01. Event of Default Defined. The occurrence of an Event of
Default under the Term Loan Agreement or the Indenture, whatever the reason for
such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be
effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any Collateral or governmental body,
shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
SECTION 5.02. Remedies Upon Event of Default.
(a) During any period during which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to (but
shall be under no obligation to), directly or by using an agent or broker do any
of the following:
(i) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in
it by this Agreement and under the UCC;
(ii) cause all revenues hereby pledged as security and all
other moneys and other property pledged hereunder to be paid and/or
delivered directly to it, and demand, xxx for, collect and receive any
part or all of such moneys and property;
(iii) cause any action at law or suit in equity or other
proceeding to be instituted and prosecuted to collect or enforce any
Secured Obligations of any Grantor, or rights included in the
Collateral, or for specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
contained herein, in the Term Loan Agreement or in the Indenture or
under the agreements assigned, granted or pledged to the Collateral
Agent, or in aid of the exercise of any power therein or herein
granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and sale under a judgment or
decree in any judicial proceeding, or to enforce any other legal or
equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by law;
3
(iv) foreclose or enforce any other agreement or other
instrument by or under or pursuant to which the Secured Obligations of
any Grantor are issued or secured;
(v) in connection with any acceleration and foreclosure,
vote or exercise any and all of Grantors' rights or powers incident to
its ownership of the Capital Stock and interests referred to in clause
(d) of the definition of Collateral herein;
(vi) subject to clause (b) of this Section 5.02, sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral, in one or
more transactions, at such prices as the Collateral Agent may deem
best, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without
assumption of any credit risk, at any broker's board or at public or
private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to
sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, or of time or place of disposition
(except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be
waived), it being agreed that the Collateral Agent may be a purchaser
or lessee on behalf of the Secured Parties or on its own behalf at any
such sale and that the Collateral Agent or anyone else who may be the
purchaser, lessee or recipient for value of any or all of the
Collateral so disposed of shall, upon such disposition, acquire all of
any Grantor's rights therein. The Collateral Agent may 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 the same, and such
sale may, without further notice or publication, be made at any time or
place to which the same may be so adjourned;
(vii) incur expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
consultants' fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any
right or power under this Agreement;
(viii) perform any obligation of any Grantor hereunder or
under any other Security Document, and make payments, purchase, contest
or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien, and pay taxes and
expenses;
(ix) take possession of the Collateral and render it
usable, and repair and renovate the same, without, however, any
obligation so to do, and enter upon any site where the same may be
located for that purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease the
Collateral, either separately from or in conjunction with the other
Collateral necessary or useful to such renovated Collateral, collect
all rents and income from the Collateral and apply the same to the
payment or performance of the Secured Obligations of any Grantor;
(x) make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed
desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time
of payment, arrange for payment installments, or otherwise modify the
terms of, any Collateral; and
(xi) secure the appointment of a receiver of the
Collateral or any part thereof, without notice to any Grantor.
(b) If, pursuant to applicable law, prior notice of any action
described in Section 5.02(a) is required to be given to a Grantor, such Grantor
hereby acknowledges that the
4
minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no minimum is specified, ten
Business Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period.
(c) The Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws
(collectively, the "Securities Laws"), the Collateral Agent may be compelled,
with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral constituting
"securities," however defined in the Securities Laws, to limit purchasers to
those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their
own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices
and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable
through a public sale without the restrictions applicable to a private sale and
waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties arising
by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold
at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at
a public sale, provided that such private sale is conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner.
(d) Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any
agreement under the agreements assigned, granted or pledged to the Collateral
Agent may be taken by the Collateral Agent either in a Grantor's name or in the
Collateral Agent's name, as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary.
(e) All rights of marshaling of assets of any Grantor, including
any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived by each
Grantor.
(f) The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of
the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to
Section 5.02(a) conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Grantor
hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have
been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have
obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured
Obligations of the Grantor, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer
received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, provided,
that such private sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.
SECTION 5.03. Compliance With Limitations and Restrictions; No Discount.
Each Grantor hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to
comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may
be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable
legal requirements, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or
of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and each Grantor
further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being
considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner,
nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to such Grantor for any
discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in
compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
5
SECTION 5.04. Registration of Securities. If the Collateral Agent shall
decide to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, and if, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Collateral Agent, it is necessary to
have such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the
provisions of the Securities Laws, each Grantor will execute and deliver, all at
such Grantor's expense, all such instruments and documents which, in the opinion
of the Collateral Agent, are necessary to register or qualify such Collateral,
or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Laws.
Each Grantor will execute and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
any registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain
effective for a period of not less than six months from the date of the first
public offering of such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and to
make all amendments thereto and/or to any related prospectus or similar document
which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary, all in
conformity with the Securities Laws applicable thereto. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees to comply with the applicable
provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction(s) which the
Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its
security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
SECTION 5.05. Right to Cure. In addition to the foregoing remedies, the
Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any Event of Default
and incur reasonable fees, costs and expenses in doing so, in which event the
Company shall immediately reimburse the Collateral Agent within 10 days after
demand for all such fees, costs and expenses, together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate from the date payable until the date repaid in full.
SECTION 5.06. No Impairment of Remedies. If the Collateral Agent may, under
applicable legal requirements, proceed to realize its benefits under this
Agreement, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or
enforcement, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of
its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If, in the exercise of
any of such rights and remedies, the Collateral Agent shall forfeit any of its
rights or remedies, including any right to enter a deficiency judgment against
such Grantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable legal
requirements pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, such Grantor
hereby consents to such action by the Collateral Agent and, to the extent
permitted by applicable legal requirements, waives any claim based upon such
action, even if such action by the Collateral Agent shall result in a full or
partial loss of any rights of subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement
which such Grantor might otherwise have had but for such action by the
Collateral Agent or the terms herein. Any election of remedies which results in
the denial or impairment of the right of the Collateral Agent to seek a
deficiency judgment against any of the parties to any of the Security Documents
shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, impair such
Grantor's obligation hereunder. In the event the Collateral Agent shall bid at
any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by legal
requirements or this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may bid all or less than
the amount of the Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable
legal requirements, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether
the Collateral Agent or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be
conclusively deemed to be the fair market value
6
of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining
balance of the Secured Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount
of the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 5.07. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Actionable Default, the proceeds of any sale of or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in
accordance with Section 2.6 of the Collateral Agency Agreement. Each Grantor
shall remain liable for any deficiency.
SECTION 5.08. Foreclosure Waiver. To the extent permitted by legal
requirements, each Grantor waives the posting of any bond otherwise required of
the Collateral Agent in connection with any judicial process or proceeding to
obtain possession of, replevy, attach, or levy upon the Collateral, to enforce
any judgment or other security for its Secured Obligations, to enforce any
judgment or other court order entered in favor of the Collateral Agent, or to
enforce by specific performance, temporary restraining order, preliminary or
permanent injunction, this Agreement or any other agreement or document between
any Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. Each Grantor further
agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may elect to nonjudicially or judicially foreclose
against any real or personal property security it holds for the Secured
Obligations or any part thereof, or to exercise any other remedy against any
Grantor or any other Person, any security or any guarantor, even if the effect
of that action is to deprive such Grantor of the right to collect reimbursement
from any Person for any sums paid by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party.
SECTION 5.09. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Agent attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of
such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise from time to time in
the Collateral Agent's discretion, if an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument to enforce
all rights of such Grantor with respect to the Collateral, including the right
to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on behalf of
and in the name of the Grantor or, at the option of the Collateral Agent, in the
name of the Collateral Agent, with the same force and effect as the Grantor
could do if this Agreement had not been made. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges,
consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section
5.08 is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
