aggregate voting power of the Stock of each of Xxxxxxx Radiology Medical
Group, Inc., Pronet Imaging Medical Group, Inc. and Xxxxxxx Radiology Medical
Group III, (e) Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx shall cease to be involved in the day to day
operations and management of the business of Parent and each Debtor, and a
successor reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders is not appointed on terms
reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders within 30 days of such cessation of
involvement, or (f) a "Change of Control" (or any comparable term) shall occur
under any document evidencing or otherwise governing any other Indebtedness of
Debtors. For purposes hereof, "Continuing Director" means (a) any member of
the Board of Directors of Parent who was a director (or comparable manager) on
the date of this Agreement, and (b) any individual who becomes a member of the
Board of Directors after such date if such individual was appointed or

Continuing Directors, but excluding any such individual originally proposed
for election in opposition to the Board of Directors in office at such date in
an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the
directors (or comparable managers) of Parent and whose initial assumption of
office resulted from such contest or the settlement thereof. For purposes
hereof, "Stock" means all shares, options, warrants, interests,
participations, or other equivalents (regardless of how designated) of or in a
Person, whether voting or nonvoting, including common stock, preferred stock,
or any other "equity security" (as such term is defined in Rule 3a11-1 of the

(ii) PREPAYMENTS FROM ASSET SALES OR RECEIPT OF ANY PAYMENT IN
RESPECT OF THE COLLATERAL. In the event the REC III Loan Settlement occurs, if
a sale or other transfer of Collateral is to occur (a "Collateral Sale"), or,
if any Debtor or any of its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent receives a
payment that constitutes proceeds of any Collateral, including any payment of
Receivables into the Lock Box Account (a "Collateral Receipt"), then the
Debtors will notify Collateral Agent and Lenders of such prepayment and the
Debtors, jointly and severally, will prepay the principal amount of the Loans
then outstanding with the gross proceeds thereof on the date upon which the
Collateral Sale or Collateral Receipt occurs, unless the Debtor and the
Required Lenders agree to a different date, and no prepayment required
pursuant to this Section 2(e)(ii) shall be due unless the Collateral Sale or
Collateral Receipt shall occur. Each notice from the Debtors pursuant to this
Section 2(e)(iii) shall make explicit reference to this Section 2(e)(ii). No
premium shall be due in connection with a payment made pursuant to this
Section 2(e)(ii).
11
(iii) PREPAYMENTS OF ESCROWED FUNDS IN THE EVENT THE REC III
LOAN ASSIGNMENT DOES NOT OCCUR. If the Escrow Termination Date has occurred and
either the REC III Loan Settlement has not occurred or any of the conditions
set forth in Section 17(b) hereof have not been satisfied to the satisfaction
of Required Lenders (or waived by Required Lenders) or the Settlement
Agreement has terminated for any reason, then at the election of Required
Lenders in the Required Lenders' sole discretion, the Debtors, jointly and
severally, will apply the Escrowed Funds to make a partial prepayment of the
principal amount of the Loans then outstanding together with a premium of 1.0%
of the principal amount so prepaid (in lieu of any other premiums hereunder)
and accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so repaid on the date designated
by the Required Lenders and RMI shall give the Escrow Agent the written
instructions in furtherance thereof requested by Required Lenders. Each
notice from the Debtors pursuant to this Section 2(e)(iii) shall make explicit
reference to this Section 2(e)(ii).
(iv) APPLICATIONS OF ESCROWED FUNDS IN THE EVENT THE REC III
LOAN SETTLEMENT OCCURS. If the REC III Loan Settlement occurs and the
conditions set forth in Section 17(b) hereof have been satisfied to the
satisfaction of Required Lenders (or waived by Required Lenders), then, the
Debtors, jointly and severally, will apply the balance of the Escrowed Funds
after payment of the Settlement Amount to pay any unpaid Secured Party Expenses
and, to the extent any amount remains, to make a partial prepayment of the
principal amount of the Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to any
collections in respect of the Receivables from the date hereof through the date
of the REC III Loan Settlement and, to the extent any amount remains to pay to
RMI on behalf of Debtors an amount equal to $3,225,000 minus the sum of (unpaid
Secured Party Expenses, the Settlement Amount and the amount of such
Receivable collections from the date hereof through the date the REC III Loan
Settlement), and RMI shall give the Escrow Agent the written instructions in
furtherance thereof requested by Required Lenders. Each notice from the
Debtors pursuant to this Section 2(e)(iv) shall make explicit reference to
this Section 2(e)(ii). No premium shall be due in connection with a payment
made pursuant to this Section 2(e)(iv).
(f) PAYMENTS TO LENDERS. The Debtors will pay all sums becoming
due on the Loan for principal, interest, premium and other amounts to Lenders
by the method and at the address specified for such purpose in Schedule 2, or
by such other method or at such other address as a relevant Lender shall have
from time to time specified to RMI in writing for such purpose, without the
presentation or surrender of such Note or other Loan Documents or the making
of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of RMI made
concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full
of the Loans, each holder of the Notes shall surrender its Note evidencing the
Loans for cancellation, reasonably promptly after such request, to RMI at its
principal executive office.
Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them
shall, whether by voluntary or mandatory payment (other than a payment or
prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of
set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the
enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate
protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code,
receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
principal or interest or premium then due and owing to that Lender hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the "Aggregate Amounts Due"
to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other
12
Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the
Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall, unless such
proportionately greater payment is required by the terms of this Agreement,
(i) notify each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a
portion of such payment to purchase assignments (which it shall be deemed to
have purchased from each seller of an assignment simultaneously upon the
receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) of the Aggregate
Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate
Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate
Amounts Due to them; PROVIDED that (A) if all or part of such proportionately
greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered
from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Debtor or
otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for
such assignments shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the foregoing provisions
shall not apply to any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or the sale of a participation in any of its Obligations to any
Person pursuant to Section 20. Each Debtor expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangement and agrees that any purchaser of an assignment so
purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to such assignment as
fully as if that Lender had complied with the provisions of Section 20 with
respect to such assignment. In order to further evidence such assignment (and
without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth
above), each purchasing Lender and each selling Lender agree to enter into an
assignment agreement at the request of a selling Lender or a purchasing
Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
each such Lender.
(g) TAXES. Any and all payments by the Debtors hereunder or under
the Loans or other Loan Documents that are made to or for the benefit of Lenders
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present
or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and
penalties, interests and all other liabilities with respect thereto
(collectively, "Taxes"), excluding taxes, duties, assessments or fees imposed
on net income or capital and franchise taxes, duties, assessments or fees
imposed on any of them by the jurisdiction under the laws of which any of them
is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded Taxes
being hereinafter referred to as "Covered Taxes"). If any of the Debtors
shall be required by law to deduct any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder or under any Loan or other Loan Documents to Lenders,
the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making
all required deductions of Covered Taxes (including deductions of Covered
Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph), each Lender
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made. The Debtors shall make such deductions and the Debtors
shall pay the full amount so deducted to the relevant taxation authority or
other authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Debtors
agree to pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, privilege,
intangible or similar levies that arise at any time or from time to time from
any payment made under any and all Loan Documents or from the execution or
delivery by the Loan Parties or from the filing or recording or maintenance
of, or otherwise with respect to the exercise by Collateral Agent or Lenders
of their respective rights under any and all Loan Documents (collectively,
"Other Taxes"). The Debtors will jointly and severally indemnify Lenders for
the full amount of Covered Taxes imposed on or with respect to amounts payable
hereunder and Other Taxes, and any liability (including penalties, interest
and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payment of this
indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date Requisite
Lenders provide RMI with a certificate certifying and setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculation thereof as to the amount and type of such
13
Taxes. Any such certificates submitted by Requisite Lenders in good faith to
RMI shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all
parties. The obligation of the Debtors under this Section 2(g) shall survive
the payment of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement. Within thirty
(30) days after any Debtor having received a receipt for payment of Covered
Taxes and/or Other Taxes, the Debtors shall furnish to the Lenders, the
original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(h) INTEREST LIMITATION. This Agreement, the Notes and the other
Loan Documents are hereby limited by this Section 2(h). In no event, whether by
reason of acceleration of the maturity of the amounts due hereunder or
otherwise, shall interest and fees contracted for, charged, received, paid or
agreed to be paid to Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under such
applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest and fees would
otherwise be payable to Lenders in excess of the maximum amount permissible
under applicable law, the interest and fees shall be reduced to the maximum
amount permitted under applicable law. If from any circumstance, Lenders
shall have received anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in
excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excess of interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the Loans, in
such manner as may be determined by Lenders, and not to the payment of fees or
interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the
principal amount of the Loans, such excess shall be refunded to RMI on behalf
of Debtors
3. INTEREST. At Required Lenders' option, interest (including,
without limitation, any post-petition interest in any proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) will accrue on the unpaid
portion of principal of the Loan hereof and all other sums due from Debtor
hereunder and under the Loan Documents following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default until the date of payment in full of such
principal and all other sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents at a
fixed rate of 16% per annum (the "Default Rate"). Interest at the Default
Rate will be collectible as part of any judgment hereunder and secured by the
Collateral. Debtors acknowledge and agree that the increase in the interest
rate after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default is
intended to compensate the Lenders for the added risks of maintaining a
defaulted loan and is not intended as a premium, penalty, liquidated damages or
reimbursement for internal or out-of-pocket costs associated therewith. Any
judgment obtained hereunder or under the Loan Documents will accrue interest at
the Default Rate until paid.
4. SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL.
(a) In the event that the REC III Loan Settlement occurs, the
provisions under the Prior Financing Documents granting liens and security
interests in the Collateral of Debtors will be and are reaffirmed and shall be
incorporated into this Section 4 of this Agreement by reference and such liens
and security interests in the Collateral described in such Prior Financing
Documents shall be deemed for all purposes to be held by the Collateral Agent
(as successor to and assignee of REC III and of DVIBC) on behalf of the Lenders
and shall secure the Obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents without
interruption. Each Debtor party to any of the Security Documents hereby
reaffirms all the security grants and obligations of such Debtor under such
Security Documents which Security Documents shall continue to remain in effect
until all Obligations are paid in full and this Agreement is terminated. Each
Debtor party to any of the Security Documents agrees, acknowledges and
14
confirms with Collateral Agent and each Lender that upon the occurrence of the
REC III Loan Settlement, the term "DVI Indebtedness" as set forth in such
Security Documents shall include all Obligations under this Agreement, the
term "Collateral" as defined in such Security Documents shall secure the
Obligations under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be a
party to each Security Document as successor to and assignee of REC III, all
references to DVIBC or REC III in the Security Documents shall refer to the
Collateral Agent in its capacity as collateral agent hereunder and the
Collateral Agent and Required Lenders shall each be fully entitled to enforce
all rights and remedies under the Security Documents and the other Loan
Documents. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Debtors
will enter into or cause to be entered into all control or other agreements
requested by Collateral Agent or Required Lenders in order to assign to the
Collateral Agent all rights to the Receivables, the Lock Box Account and the
Lock Box Agreement and will pay all fees and expenses of the Lock Box Bank.
(b) In addition to the foregoing, each Debtor hereby grants and
assigns a security interest to the Collateral Agent and its successors and
assigns on behalf of the Lenders in all of the following whether now existing or
hereafter arising: (i) the Escrow Account and the Assignment Agreement, (ii)
all contract rights, claims and privileges in respect of the Escrow Account
and the Settlement Agreement, (iii) all cash, checks, money orders and other
items of value of Debtors now or hereafter paid, deposited, credited, held
(whether for collection, provisionally or otherwise) or otherwise in the
possession or under the control of, or in transit to, the Escrow Agent or any
agent, bailee or custodian thereof, and all proceeds of the foregoing and,
upon the occurrence of the REC III Loan Settlement, the Receivables, the Lock
Box and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, the property of
such Debtor described in Schedule 1 attached to this Agreement, and all
substitutions, renewals or replacements of and alterations, additions or
improvements, if any, to such Collateral together with in each and every case
all proceeds thereof. Each Debtor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent
(or its agent) to file at any time and from time to time such financing
statements (including, in the event the REC III Loan Settlement occurs,
assignments of financing statements in favor of REC III to the Collateral
Agent) under the uniform commercial code of any jurisdiction with respect to
the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may require and any amendments,
continuations or assignments thereto, in each case naming any Debtor, as
debtor, and the Collateral Agent, as secured party, under such financing
statements, amendments, continuations or assignments.
(c) Each item of Collateral shall secure all the Obligations and all
other present and future indebtedness or obligations of Debtors to Collateral
Agent and Lenders of every kind and nature whatsoever. Each Debtor warrants
and agrees that the Collateral will be used primarily for business or
commercial purposes and that regardless of the manner of affixation the
Collateral shall remain personal property and shall not become part of the
real estate. Each Debtor agrees to keep the Collateral at the locations of
such Debtor set forth on Schedule 1 and will not make any change in the
location of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent.
5. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE; LATE CHARGES. Time is of the essence in
this Agreement and if any scheduled installment is not paid within the ten (10)
days after the due date thereof, Required Lenders shall have the right to add
and collect, and Debtors, jointly and severally, agree to pay, a late charge
on and in addition to, such scheduled installment equal to five percent (5%)
of such scheduled installment or a lesser amount if established by any State
or Federal statute applicable thereto.
15
6. NO WARRANTIES. This Agreement is solely a financing agreement.
Each Debtor acknowledges that: The Collateral has been selected and acquired
solely by such Debtor for such Debtor's purposes; and NONE OF THE COLLATERAL
AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS MADE OR MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION
WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AS TO THE FITNESS, CONDITION,
MERCHANTABILITY, DESIGN OR OPERATION OF THE COLLATERAL, ITS FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THE VALUE OF THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.
7. INSURANCE AND RISK OF LOSS. All risk of loss of, damage to, or
destruction of the Collateral shall at all times be on Debtors. Each Debtor
will procure forthwith and maintain property and general liability insurance
with extended or combined additional coverage on the Collateral for the full
insurable value thereof for the life of this Agreement plus such other
insurance as Requisite Lenders may specify and promptly deliver each to
Collateral Agent with a standard long form endorsement attached showing loss
payable to Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or assigns as respective
interests may appear. Such policies shall name each such Debtor as owner of
the Collateral and Collateral Agent on behalf of Lenders as insured or loss
payee as the case may be. Each Insurer shall agree by endorsement upon such
policy issued by it or by independent instrument furnished to Collateral Agent
and each such Debtor that it will give Collateral Agent and such Debtor thirty
(30) days written notice before the policy in question shall be materially
altered or cancelled. Collateral Agent's acceptance of policies in lesser
amounts or risks shall not be a waiver of Debtors' foregoing obligation.
8. DEBTORS' REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Debtor represents
and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders as follows:
(a) Each Debtor is a corporation fully organized and existing under
the laws of the State of its incorporation without limit as to the duration of
its existence and is authorized and in good standing to do business in said
State. Each Debtor has corporate powers and adequate authority, rights and
franchises to own its own property and to carry on its business as now
conducted, and is duly qualified and in good standing in each state in which
the character of the properties owned by it therein or the conduct of its
business makes such qualifications necessary; and each Debtor has the
corporate power and adequate authority to make and carry out this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to which it is party.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are duly authorized and do not, to the best of each
Debtor's knowledge, require the consent or approval of any governmental body or
other regulatory authority; are not in the contravention of or in conflict
with any law or regulation or any term or provision of its articles or
certificate of incorporation, bylaws and this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which it is party is the valid, binding and legally enforceable
obligation of each Debtor enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms. The offer, sale or issuance of any of the Notes hereunder do not
require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities laws.
16
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents will not contravene or conflict with any agreement,
indenture or undertaking to which any Debtor or any of its Affiliates is a
party or by which it or any of its property or the property of any of its
Affiliates may be bound by or affected, and will not cause any lien, charge or
other encumbrance to be created or imposed upon any such property by reason
thereof. The Obligations constitute Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the
Parent Indenture). As such, all of the Obligations (and Collateral Agent and
the Lenders) are entitled to the benefits of each of the subordination and
other provisions contained in the Parent Indenture which are available in
respect of Senior Indebtedness (and to the holders thereof), and each of such
subordination and other provisions is in full force and effect and enforceable
in accordance with its terms.
(d) Each Debtor has good and valid title to its Collateral which is
free from, and will be kept free from, all Liens, except for the security
interests granted in favor of Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
(e) No financing statement covering the Collateral listed on
Schedule 1 hereto or any proceeds thereof is on file in favor of anyone other
than the Collateral Agent.
(f) All necessary action, including the filing of UCC-1 Financing
Statements, has been taken in order to provide the Collateral Agent with a
perfected security interest in the Collateral.
(g) Each Debtor (i) has obtained all material permits, licenses and
other authorizations that are required under Health Care Laws applicable to such
Debtor, (ii) is in compliance in all material respects with all terms and
conditions of such required permits, licenses and authorizations and (c) is in
compliance in all material respects with all other limitations, restrictions,
conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and
timetables contained in such Health Care Laws. Each Management Agreement, and
each of the transactions contemplated thereunder, does not and will not
violate any applicable rule or regulation: (a) relating to the eligibility of
a Managed Practice to receive payment and to participate as an accredited and
certified provider of health care services under Medicaid, Medicare or any
other Third Party Payor program, (b) applicable to such Person as a result of
its participation in such programs, (c) relating to the licenses and permits
required therein in connection therewith, or (d) relating to the practice of
medicine or the sharing of fees generated in connection therewith. For
purposes hereof, "Managed Practice" means, any radiologist, professional
corporation, professional association, partnership or similar Person that
pursuant to a Management Agreement provides radiology or other related
professional medical services at a medical office, clinic or other facility
operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; and "Management Agreement"
means an agreement between Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and any Managed
Practice pursuant to which Parent or such Subsidiary agrees to provide or
arrange for comprehensive management, administrative and other non-medical
support services to such Managed Parties in exchange for the payment by the
Managed Practice to Parent or such Subsidiary of a management or other similar
fee. For purposes hereof, "Third Party Payor" means Medicare, Medicaid, Blue
Cross/Blue Shield or any private insurance company, health maintenance
organization, preferred provider organization, alternative delivery system,
managed care system, government contracting agency, self-insured employer or
other similar entity that is obligated to make payments on behalf of any
Account Debtor of any Person.
17
(h) The Debtors have delivered to Lenders copies of its and Parent's
audited consolidated year-end financial statements for and as of the end of
the fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002 (the "Annual
Statements") and its and Parent's unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet
dated July 31, 2004 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of
income and cash flows for the 9 months then ended (the "Interim Statements").
The Annual Statements and Interim Statements were compiled from the books and
records maintained by Debtors' and Parent's management, as the case may be,
are, in all material respects, correct and complete and fairly represent the
consolidated financial condition of Debtors and Parent, respectively as of
their dates and the results of operations for the fiscal periods then ended
and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied (subject to year-end and audit adjustments and
the absence of footnotes in the case of the Interim Statements). The Debtors
do not have, on a consolidated basis, any material liabilities, contingent or
otherwise, or forward or long-term commitments that are not disclosed in the
Annual Statements or in the notes thereto and would need to be disclosed on
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and except as disclosed therein, there are no unrealized or
anticipated losses from any commitments of the Debtors that may cause a
Material Adverse Effect. Since October 31, 2003, there has been no event or
occurrence that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Debtors, taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse Effect"). All factual
information furnished by or on behalf of the Debtors to Lenders for purposes
of or in connection with this Agreement is, and all other such factual
information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Debtors will be, true
and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information
is furnished and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to
make such information not materially misleading at such time in light of the
circumstances under which such information was provided.
(i) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of each of
Parent and its Subsidiaries, including the Debtors, and the number and ownership
of all outstanding capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries of the Parent is as
set forth on Schedule 8(i) annexed hereto. As of the date hereof, none of the
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries will be subject to any obligation
(contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any
shares of its capital stock, except as set forth on Schedule 8(i) annexed
hereto. There are no agreements among Parent's or any Subsidiary of the
Parent's stockholders with respect to the voting or transfer of Parent's or any
of its Subsidiaries' capital stock other than as set forth in Schedule 8(i).
None of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries owns, or hold any rights to
acquire, any shares of stock or any other security or interest in any other
Person, and the Parent has no Subsidiaries, except in each case as set forth
on Schedule 8(i) annexed hereto. Parent does not and will not have any
directly owned Subsidiary other than RMI.
(j) There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity
or by or before any arbitrator or any governmental authority now pending or, to
the best knowledge of the Debtors' management after due inquiry, threatened
against or filed by or affecting any of the Loan Parties or any of their
respective Affiliates or any of their directors or officers or the businesses,
assets or rights of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective
Affiliates that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect and the Litigation Schedule attached as Schedule
8.1(j) identifies all actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by
or before any arbitrator or any governmental Authority now pending or, to the
18
best knowledge of the Debtors' management after due inquiry, threatened
against or filed by or affecting any Loan Party or any of their respective
Affiliates, including any Debtor, or any of their respective directors or
officers or the business, assets or rights of any of them. The Debtors and
their directors or officers shall promptly provide Lenders with a copy of all
pleadings of all lawsuits filed against others where the amount at issue is
greater than $50,000 or otherwise may be material to the business of any Loan
Party or any of their respective Affiliates, including any Debtor, and, in the
case of other actions where the amount at issue is greater than $50,000 or
otherwise may be material to the business of any Loan Party or any of their
respective Affiliates including any Debtor, a letter stating the nature of
such suits and a copy of all pleadings.
(k) None of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates
are in violation in any respect of any applicable Law, except to the extent that
any such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. None of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates are in
default with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or
regulation of any Governmental Authority. None of the Loan Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates are in, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not cause any, default concerning any judgment,
order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, and there is
no investigation, enforcement action or regulatory action pending or, to the
Debtors' knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or any of
their respective Affiliates by any Governmental Authority, except as set forth
on the Litigation Schedule. Except as set forth in the Litigation Schedule,
there is no remedial or other corrective action that any of the Loan Parties
or any of their respective Affiliates is required to take to remain in
compliance with any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of any
Governmental Authority or to maintain any material permits, approvals or
licenses granted by any Governmental Authority in full force and effect.
(l) Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party has filed
or caused to be filed all Federal, state and local tax returns that are required
to be filed by it, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due
and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, including
payroll taxes.
(m) After giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby,
(i) the aggregate fair value of the assets of the Debtors, at a fair valuation,
will exceed their consolidated debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent
or otherwise, (ii) the present aggregate fair saleable value of the property of
the Debtors will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the
probable liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and
matured, (iii) the Debtors will be able to pay their debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become
absolute and matured, and (iv) the Debtors will not have unreasonably small
capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such
business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing
Date.
(n) No Debtor or any Affiliate of any Debtor or any director,
officer or employee of any Debtor or any of their Affiliates, respectively, has
entered into, as of the date hereof, any side agreement, either oral or written,
with any individual or business, pursuant to which the director, officer,
employee, Debtor or Affiliate agreed to do anything beyond the requirements of
the formal, written contracts executed by the Loan Parties and disclosed to
Lender and Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement.
19
(o) No broker's or finder's or placement fee or commission will be
payable to any broker or agent engaged by the Debtors or any of its Affiliates
or any of their respective officers, directors or agents with respect to the
issue of the Notes or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except
as disclosed to Collateral Agent prior to the date hereof. The Debtors agree
to indemnify Collateral Agent and Lenders and hold them harmless from against
any claim, demand or liability for broker's or finder's or placement fees or
similar commissions, whether or not payable by the Debtors, alleged to have
been incurred in connection with such transactions.
(p) Set forth on Schedule 8(p) is a true and complete list of all
Indebtedness of Parent and each Subsidiary of Parent outstanding immediately
prior to the date hereof other than the Obligations and such Schedule
accurately reflects the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness (such
Indebtedness, the "Other Indebtedness" and the documentation evidencing such
Indebtedness, the "Other Debt Documents"). Lenders have received complete
copies of the Prior Loan Documents and the Other Debt Documents (including all
exhibits, schedules and disclosure letters referred to therein or delivered
pursuant thereto, if any) and all amendments thereto, waivers relating thereto
and other side letters or agreements affecting the terms thereof. None of
such documents and agreements has been amended or supplemented, nor have any

Debtor may have against such predecessor Lender.
15. N0N-TERMINABLE AGREEMENT; OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL; INDEMNIFICATION.
This Agreement cannot be cancelled or terminated except as expressly provided
herein. This Agreement and the obligations of Debtors hereunder shall terminate
upon payment in full of all the Obligations; provided that to the extent any

shall be reinstated. Each Debtor hereby agrees that its obligation to pay all
Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional and such Debtor will not be
entitled to any abatement of payments due under this Agreement or any reduction
thereof under circumstances or for any reason whatsoever. Each Debtor hereby
waives any and all existing and future claims, as offsets, against any payments
due under this Agreement as and when due regardless of any offset or claim which
may be asserted by such Debtor or on its behalf. The obligations and
liabilities of Debtors hereunder will survive the termination of this Agreement.
In addition to the payment of Secured Party Expenses, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Debtor agrees to
defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold
harmless Collateral Agent and Lenders, and the officers, directors, trustees,
employees, agents, advisors and Affiliates of Collateral Agent and Lenders
(collectively called the "Indemnitees"), from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that Company shall
not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined

"Indemnified Liabilities" means, collectively, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties,

and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees (including allocated costs of
internal counsel) in connection with any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any
such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and
any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity),
33
whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal,
state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and
commercial laws, statutes, rules of regulations and environmental laws), on
common law or equitable cause or on contact or otherwise, that may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating
to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including Lenders' agreement to
acquire the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof,
or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents), (ii) the statements contained
in any commitment letter delivered by any Lender to any Debtor with respect
thereto, or (iii) any claim relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly,
any past or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. To the extent that the
undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
Section 15 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative
of any law or public policy, each Debtor shall contribute the maximum portion
that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of
them.
16. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS. In connection with and in

might, in the absence of this provision, operate to release, discharge or
otherwise prejudicially affect the obligations of such Debtor or any other
Debtor.
(b) To the extent that any Debtor shall make a payment under this
SECTION 19 of all or any of the Obligations (other than that portion of the Loan

Amount" (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor
Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Debtor as
determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then,
following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement, such Debtor shall be entitled to receive
contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other
Debtor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective
Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

the obligations of Debtors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and

and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Debtors to which
such contribution and indemnification is owing.

under this Section 19 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible
payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
20. ASSIGNMENT OF NOTES.
(a) RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Lenders acknowledge that the Notes have
not been registered under the Securities Act or 1933 (the "Securities Act") and
may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities
Act or if an exemption from registration is available, and that the Issuers are
not required to register the Notes.
(b) LEGENDS; PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS. Each of the Lenders hereby
represents and warrants to the Debtors that it is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and is acquiring the
Loans for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing
its participation with others (except for a potential transfer or transfers of
the Loans to an affiliate or affiliates of any Lender) or reselling or otherwise
distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities laws. The Debtors may place an appropriate legend on the Notes owned
by Lenders concerning the restrictions set forth in this Section 20. Upon the
assignment or transfer by any Lender or any of its successors or assignees of
all or any part of the Loans, the term "Lender" as used herein shall thereafter
include, to the extent thereof, the then holder or holders of such Loans, or
portion thereof.
39
(c) TRANSFER OF NOTES. Subject to Section 20(b) hereof, a holder of
a Note may transfer such Note to a new holder, or may exchange such Note for
Notes of different denominations (but in no event of denominations of less than
$50,000 in original principal amount), by surrendering such Note to the Debtors
duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a duly executed instrument of
transfer naming the new holder (or the current holder if submitted for exchange
only), together with written instructions for the issuance of one or more new
Notes specifying the respective principal amounts of each new Note and the name
of each new holder and each address therefor. The Debtors shall simultaneously
deliver to such holder or its designee such new Notes, shall xxxx the
surrendered Notes as canceled and shall provide notice of such transfer to
Lender. In lieu of the foregoing procedures, a holder may assign a Note (in
whole but not in part) to a new holder by sending written notice to the Debtors
and Lenders of such assignment specifying the new holder's name and address; in
such case, the Debtors shall promptly acknowledge such assignment in writing to
both the old and new holder.
(d) REPLACEMENT OF LOTS SECURITIES. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Debtors of the mutilation, destruction, loss or
theft of any Notes and the ownership thereof, the Debtors shall, upon the
written request of the holder of such Notes, execute and deliver in replacement
thereof new Notes in the same form, in the same original principal amount and
dated the same date as the Notes so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen; and
such Notes so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall then be deemed no
longer outstanding hereunder. If the Notes being replaced have been mutilated,
they shall be surrendered to the Issuers; and if such replaced Notes have been
destroyed, lost or stolen, such holder shall furnish the Issuers with an
indemnity in writing to save it harmless in respect of such replaced Note.
(e) NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AFFECTED. Nothing contained in this
Section 20 shall limit the full force or effect of any representation, agreement
or warranty made herein or in connection herewith to Collateral Agent or any
Lender.
21. THE COLLATERAL AGENT.
(a) AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION. Each Lender and each subsequent holder
of any Note by its acceptance thereof, hereby designates and appoints Post

successors or assigns. Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action
that exposes Collateral Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement or applicable Laws. The appointment and authority of Collateral Agent
hereunder shall terminate at the indefeasible payment in full of the Loans and
related obligations.

directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with
the Loan Documents (except for its, their or such Person's own gross negligence
or willful misconduct or, in the case of Collateral Agent, the breach of its
obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, unless such action was taken
or omitted to be taken by Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required
Lenders), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party contained in
any Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, any
Loan Document for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of any Loan Document or any other document
furnished in connection herewith, or for any failure of any of the Loan Parties
to perform their respective obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction of
any condition specified in Section 17. Collateral Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions
of, any Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any of
the Loan Parties.
(d) RELIANCE. Collateral Agent shall in all cases be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to any Loan Party), independent
accountants and other experts selected by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent
shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under any Loan Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders
or all of Lenders, as applicable, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders; provided, that, unless and until
Collateral Agent shall have received such advice, Collateral Agent may take or
refrain from taking any action, as Collateral Agent shall deem advisable and in
the best interests of Lenders. Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request
of the Required Purchasers or all of Lenders, as applicable, and such request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon
all Lenders.
(e) NON-RELIANCE ON COLLATERAL AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that neither Collateral Agent, nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by Collateral Agent or
hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any
Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
Collateral Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to Collateral Agent that
it has and will, independently and without reliance upon Collateral Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and made its own decision to enter into
this Agreement.
41
(f) COLLATERAL AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Collateral Agent,
and each of its Affiliates may make loans to, purchase securities from, provide
services to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party as though Collateral
Agent were not Collateral Agent hereunder.
(g) SUCCESSOR COLLATERAL AGENT. Collateral Agent may, upon
forty-five (45) days' notice to the Loan Parties and Lender, and Collateral
Agent will, upon the direction of the Required Lenders (other than Collateral
Agent, in its individual capacity), resign as Collateral Agent. If Collateral
Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders during such fifteen-day period
shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent and if the Required Lenders direct
Collateral Agent to resign, such direction shall include an appointment of a
successor Collateral Agent. If for any reason no successor Collateral Agent is
appointed by the Required Lenders during such fifteen-day period, then effective
upon the expiration of such fifteen-day period, Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of Collateral Agent hereunder and for all purposes shall deal directly
with Lenders. After any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as
Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 21 shall inure to its benefit
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral
Agent under this Agreement.
(h) COLLECTIONS AND OTHER MATTERS. Collateral Agent will have the
right to collect and receive all Secured Party Expenses due to Collateral Agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with regard to the Notes.
Collateral Agent may treat the payees of any Note as the holder thereof until
written notice of the transfer thereof shall have been received by Collateral
Agent in accordance with Section 20.
(i) RIGHT TO INDEMNITY. Each Lender, in proportion to its pro rata
share of the Loans, severally agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent and its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional advisors and
Affiliates, to the extent that any such Person shall not have been reimbursed
by Debtors, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
counsel fees and disbursements and fees and disbursements of any financial
advisor engaged by Collateral Agent) or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Collateral
Agent or such other Person in exercising the powers, rights and remedies or
Collateral Agent or performing the duties of Collateral Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Collateral Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to Collateral Agent, be
insufficient or become impaired, Collateral Agent may call for additional
indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until
such additional indemnity is furnished.
(j) THIS ARTICLE NOT APPLICABLE TO LOAN PARTIES. This Section 21 is
included in this Agreement solely for the purpose of determining certain rights
as between Collateral Agent and Lenders and does not create, nor shall it give
rise to, any rights in or obligations on the part of any Debtor and all rights
and obligations of the Debtors (other than as specifically set forth herein)
under this Agreement shall be determined by reference to the provisions of this
Agreement other than this Section 21.
42
22. PRIOR FINANCING DOCUMENTS. The obligations and liabilities of
Debtors under the Prior Financing Agreements shall from and after the date of
the REC III Loan Settlement be deemed to continue under this Agreement as the
Obligations of Debtors to Collateral Agent and Lenders and shall continue to be
secured by the Collateral in all cases subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. The security interests and liens in the Collateral securing
the obligations and liabilities of the Debtors under the Prior Financing
Agreements shall as of the date of the REC III Loan Settlement, continue as

hereunder.

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMIT, FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR
PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY CALIFORNIA STATE COURT OR
FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN THE STATE OF

EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH CALIFORNIA COURT 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

prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating any other provision of this
Agreement. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that
if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants,

within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of
a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
