Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York, and all other legal and

12
all of the property of the Company or Parent, all of which rights and remedies
shall be cumulative, and none of which shall be exclusive;

require the Company to assemble each item of Collateral, at the Company's

least ninety (90) days after sale or disposition of said Collateral);
(c) the right to sell or otherwise to dispose of all or any Collateral in
its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at
public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by law, in
lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit (without any assumption of credit risk),
or any combination thereof, and at such locations as may be stated in such
notice, all as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable (the
Company and Parent each hereby agreeing that ten (10) days' prior written notice
to any of them of any public or private sale or other disposition of Collateral
shall be reasonable notice thereof);
(d) the right to conduct any such sales on the premises of any Person
executing this Agreement, without charge therefor, and to adjourn such sales
from time to time in accordance with applicable law;

3.3 Pledged Securities.
(a) Parent agrees that the Lender shall not be required to register or
qualify any of the Pledged Securities under any applicable state or federal
securities laws in connection with any sale thereof if such sale is effected in
a manner that complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws. In
effecting any such sale, the Lender shall be authorized (if it deems it
advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to three
(3) Persons, who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged
Securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale thereof. In the event that any such Pledged Securities are
sold at private sale after the Lender has sought bids by the method approved in
the preceding sentence, so long as one of such bids was accepted, Parent agrees
that
(i) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all
respects,
(ii) Parent shall not be entitled to a credit against the Obligations
in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and

Parent in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a
substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale.
(b) Parent recognizes that a ready market may not exist for the Pledged
Securities if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange,
and that a sale by the Lender of any of the Pledged Securities for an amount
substantially less than a pro rata share of the Fair Market Value of the
issuer's assets minus the amount of such issuer's liabilities may be
14
commercially reasonable in view of difficulties that may be encountered in
attempting to sell Pledged Securities that is privately traded.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the sale of the Pledged
Securities, the Company and Parent will fully cooperate with the Lender to
comply with the rules and regulations of the FCC and other requirements of law
to effectuate such sale, including the giving of requisite notices to the FCC
and the solicitation of consents therefrom.
3.4 Purchase by the Lender. In the event that the Lender shall purchase all
or any portion of the Collateral at any such sale, the Lender may elect to apply
a portion of the Obligations owing to it in satisfaction of part of the purchase
price of all or such portion of the Collateral so purchased. Such part of the
purchase price shall be equal to the amount that would be distributed to the
Lender pursuant to Section 3.5 as a result of such purchase if the Lender had
paid such purchase price entirely in cash.
3.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized by the Lender from any
sale or other realization on the Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations
as follows:
First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses of foreclosure
or suit, if any, and of such sale or other exercise of rights, and of all
proper expenses, liabilities and advances, including legal expenses and
attorneys' fees (including, without limitation, the allocated costs of
staff counsel of the Lender), incurred or made hereunder by the Lender, or
any other amounts then due but unpaid to the Lender and of all taxes,
assessments or liens superior to the Security Interest, except any taxes,
assessments or superior liens subject to which said sale or other
disposition may have been made;
Second, to the payment of unpaid principal of the Obligations;
Third, to the payment of unpaid interest on the principal of the
Obligations;
15
Fourth, to the payment of unpaid fees with respect to the Obligations
and all other amounts owing under the Loan Agreement to the Persons
entitled to payment thereunder; and
Fifth, to the payment of the surplus, if any, arising from an exercise
of rights with respect to the Collateral, to the Company or Parent, as
applicable, their successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive the same.
The Company and Parent shall remain liable hereunder for payment of any
deficiency on the Obligations after application of such proceeds.
3.6 Remedies Cumulative. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties,
guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings contained in this Agreement, or
in any document referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary
hereto, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of
any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements herein contained. The
failure or delay of the Lender to exercise or enforce any rights, powers or
remedies hereunder or under any of the aforesaid agreements or other documents
shall not operate as a waiver of such rights, powers and remedies, but all such
rights, powers and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of
the Obligations shall have been fully satisfied, and all rights, powers and
remedies herein provided for are cumulative and none is exclusive. No single or
partial exercise by the Lender of any right, power or remedy under this
Agreement shall preclude the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
4. APPOINTMENT OF LENDER AS LAWFUL ATTORNEY.

Company and Parent each irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints
the Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender) as their respective true and
lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact); and the Lender, or the Lender's agent,

benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension,
moratorium, turnover or redemption law, or any law permitting it to direct the
order in which the Collateral shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in
force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or
enforcement of this Agreement, and hereby waives all benefit or advantage of all
such laws.
(b) The Company and Parent each to the extent it may lawfully do so, on
behalf of itself and all who may claim through or under it, including without
limitation any and all subsequent creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors,
waives and releases all rights to demand or to have any marshalling of the
Collateral upon any sale, whether made under any power of sale granted herein or
pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of
this Agreement and any documents or instruments executed in connection
therewith.
(c) The Company and Parent each waives, to the extent it may lawfully do
so, presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind or nature including,
without limitation, notice of default, notice of any assertion of any right by
the Lender or notice of action or inaction on the part of the Lender or any
other Person (except notices explicitly required hereunder) in connection with
this Agreement or the Collateral.
(d) The Company and Parent each waives, to the extent it may lawfully do
so, any right to require the Lender to proceed against any Person, to exhaust
any other collateral or security interests or guaranties, to pursue any other
remedy, or to pursue any of such rights in any particular order or manner, and
waives any defenses arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any
other Person. The Lender may act against the Company or Parent to enforce their
respective obligations and liabilities hereunder, whether or not any action is
brought against the others or any other Person and whether or not any other
Person is joined in any such action or actions.

5.4 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when all the Obligations
have been fully and indefeasibly paid and performed, provided that each of the
Company and Parent shall be solvent immediately after satisfaction of the
Obligations. If any of them shall not be solvent, this Agreement shall not
terminate and the Lender shall take no action under this Section 5.4 until 91
days after the satisfaction of the Obligations.
Upon such termination, the Lender shall reassign and redeliver (or cause to be
reassigned and redelivered) to the Company and Parent, as applicable, or to such
Person or Persons as the Company and Parent, as applicable, shall designate or
to whomever may be lawfully entitled thereto, against receipt, such of the
Collateral (if any) as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied by the
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof and shall still be held by it hereunder,
together with appropriate instruments of reassignment and release. Any such
reassignment shall be without recourse upon or warranty by the Lender and at the
expense of the Company and Parent, as applicable.
5.5 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH NEW YORK LAW.
5.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective. If any provisions of this
Agreement or any Lien or other right of the Lender hereunder shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision herein or
any Lien or other right granted hereby.
5.7 Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement
appear as a matter of convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction hereof.
5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Lender shall have instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such
proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall
20
have been determined adversely to the Lender, then and in every such case the
Lender, as the case may be, and the Company and Parent, shall, except as may be
limited or affected by any determination in such proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their respective former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Lender, and the rights and remedies of
the Company and Parent, shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.
5.9 Duplicate Originals; Execution in Counterpart. Two or more duplicate
originals of this Agreement may be signed by the parties, each of which shall be
an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and shall
be effective when at least one counterpart shall have been executed by each
party hereto, and each set of counterparts which, collectively, show execution
by each party hereto shall constitute one duplicate original.
5.10 Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice required
hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served,
