Section 3.01. Title; Liens. The Individual Guarantor represents, warrants
and covenants that the Collateral is owned solely by the Individual Guarantor
and, except for the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, no
other Person has any right, title, interest, claim or Lien thereon, or thereto.
Section 3.02. Sale of Collateral; Liens. The Individual Guarantor
(a) will not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of the
Collateral,
(b) will keep all Collateral in existence on the date, and all
Collateral acquired after the date, of execution of this Agreement, free from

(c) will pay and discharge, when due, all taxes, levies and
governmental charges upon any Collateral, and shall defend all Collateral
against all claims of any Person other than the Administrative Agent.
Section 3.03. Certain Additional Rights. In connection with any sale of
Collateral by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article 4, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to execute any document or form, in
its name or the name of the Individual Guarantor, that may be necessary or
desirable in connection with such sale.
Section 3.04. Reimbursement. The Individual Guarantor shall pay any and
all reasonable costs, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, legal
expenses and court costs, that the Administrative Agent may incur in enforcing,
defending or protecting its Lien on, or rights and interests in, the Collateral,
or any of its rights and remedies under this or any other agreement between the
parties hereto or in respect to any of the transaction to be had thereunder or
hereunder and, until paid by the Individual Guarantor, such sums shall be
considered as additional obligations owing by the Individual Guarantor hereunder
and, as such shall be secured by all of the Collateral. Subject to the terms of
the Credit Agreement and except to the extent specifically limited by applicable
law, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for
the safekeeping of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto or for any
diminution in the value thereof, all of which shall be at the sole risk of the
Individual Guarantor.
Section 3.05. Further Assurances. So long as any of the Obligations, any
Letter of Credit or any Commitment shall be outstanding, the Individual
Guarantor, at his expense, will timely execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and
record, or will cause to be executed, acknowledged, delivered, filed or
recorded, all such further instruments, conveyances, transfers, financing
statements, continuation statements and assurances as may be necessary or
appropriate (and, in any event, as may be requested by the Administrative Agent)
to subject to the Lien of this Agreement, and to preserve, continue and protect
the Lien of this Agreement on, the Collateral, including, without limitation,
any Collateral acquired

after the date of this Agreement, or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
require for the better granting, bargaining, selling, demising, releasing,
confirming, conveying, warranting, assigning, transferring, pledging, delivering
and setting over to the Administrative Agent, and for perfecting the
Administrative Agent's rights in, every part of the Collateral, or as may be
required in order to transfer to, or perfect the rights of any new agent or
agents in, the Collateral.
ARTICLE 4. DEFAULTS -- REMEDIES
Section 4.01. Nature of Events. An "Event of Default" shall exist if any
Event of Default under, and as defined in, the Credit Agreement occurs and is
continuing.
Section 4.02. Default Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default exists, the
Administrative Agent may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Code and all of the rights and remedies conferred in this
Agreement and in each of the other Facility Documents, it being expressly
understood that no such remedy is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy
or remedies; but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given in this Agreement or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute, and may be exercised from time to
time as often as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent.
(b) If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent shall
have the right, at any time or from time to time, to sell any or all of the
Collateral.
(c) The Individual Guarantor and the Administrative Agent agree
that ten (10) days' notice to the Individual Guarantor of any public or private
sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be reasonable notice thereof, and
such sale shall be at such reasonable locations as the Administrative Agent
shall designate in such notice. Any other requirement of notice, demand or
advertisement for sale is, to the extent permitted by law, waived by the
Individual Guarantor. Sales for cash, or on credit to a wholesaler, retailer or
user of the Collateral, at any public or private sale are all hereby deemed
(without limitation) to be commercially reasonable (as defined in the Code). The
Administrative Agent shall have the right to bid at any such sale on behalf of
any one or more Lenders (who shall also have the right to bid individually).
Proceeds arising from any such sale shall be applied in the manner set forth in
the Credit Agreement.
(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may
also, with or without proceeding with sale or foreclosure or demanding payment
of the Guarantied Obligations, without notice, appropriate and apply to the
payment of the Guarantied Obligations and the other obligations secured under
this Agreement any and all Collateral in its possession and any and all
balances,
5
7
credits, deposit accounts, reserves or other moneys due or owing to
the Individual Guarantor held by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or otherwise.
(e) Anything in this Agreement contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, and in view of the fact that federal and state securities laws
may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Collateral
that consists of Securities may be effected after an Event of Default, the
Individual Guarantor agrees that upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event
of Default, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all
or any part of such Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the
bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent or agree as to
their investment intent or method of resale or both in a manner reasonably
required by the Administrative Agent to assure compliance with applicable
securities laws. In so doing, the Administrative Agent may solicit offers to buy
such Collateral, or any part of it, for cash, from a limited number of investors
deemed by the Administrative Agent, in its exclusive judgment, to be responsible
parties who might be interested in purchasing such Collateral, and if the
Administrative Agent solicits such offers from not less than three (3) such
investors, then the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of the highest offer
obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of
disposition (as defined in the Code) of such Collateral unless applicable law
provides otherwise.
(f) All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties,
indemnities and other undertakings of the Individual Guarantor contained in this
Agreement or any other Facility Document, or in any document referred to in this
Agreement or any other Facility Document or contained in any agreement
supplementary to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, shall be deemed
cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or agreements of the Individual Guarantor contained in
this Agreement or any other Facility Document.
(g) The Individual Guarantor will pay to the Administrative Agent
all reasonable expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses) of, or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions of
this Agreement and all other charges due against the Collateral, including,
without limitation, taxes, assessments, security interests, Liens or
encumbrances upon the Collateral and any expenses, including transfer or other
taxes, arising in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of
Collateral.
Section 4.03. Other Enforcement Rights. The Administrative Agent may
proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement by suit or suits or proceedings in
equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement in this Agreement contained or in execution or aid of any
power in this Agreement granted, or for foreclosure under this Agreement, or for
the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the Collateral or any part
thereof, for the
6
8
recovery of judgment for the obligations secured by this Agreement or for the
enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under
applicable law.
Section 4.04. Effect of Sale, etc . (a) Any sale or sales pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, whether under any right or power granted hereby or
thereby or pursuant to any legal proceedings, shall operate to divest the
Individual Guarantor of all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever,
either at law or in equity, of, in and to the Collateral, or any part thereof,
so sold, and any Property so sold shall be free and clear of any and all rights
of redemption by, through or under such Obligor. At any such sale any Lender may
bid for and purchase the Property sold and may make payment therefor as set
forth in clause (b) of this Section 4.04, and any such Lender so purchasing any
such Property, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and
dispose of such Property without further accountability.
(b) The receipt by the Administrative Agent, or by any Person
authorized under any judicial proceedings to make any such sale, of the proceeds
of any such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to any purchaser of the
Collateral, or of any part thereof, sold as aforesaid; and no such purchaser
shall be bound to see to the application of such proceeds, or be bound to
inquire as to the authorization, necessity or propriety of any such sale. In the
event that, at any such sale, any Lender is the successful purchaser, it shall
be entitled, for the purpose of making settlement or payment, to use and apply
such Collateral to the Guarantied Obligations by crediting thereon the amount
apportionable and applicable thereto out of the net proceeds of such sale.
Section 4.05. Delay or Omission; No Waiver. No course of dealing on the
part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender nor any delay or failure on the
part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right shall
impair such right or operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice
the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's rights, powers and remedies. No
waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Default or Event of
Default, whether such waiver be full or partial, shall extend to or be taken to
affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or to impair the rights
resulting therefrom except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement. Every right and remedy given by this Agreement, by any other Facility
Document or by law to the Administrative Agent may be exercised from time to
time as often as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent.
Section 4.06. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Administrative
Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Agreement or under any other Facility Document and such proceeding shall
have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been
determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case
the
7
9
Administrative Agent and the Individual Guarantor and the Lenders shall, subject
to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively
to their former positions under this Agreement and under the other Facility
Documents, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 4.07. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any exercise of
rights with respect to the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and
the avails of any remedy under this Agreement shall be paid to and applied in
accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. If there is a
deficiency, the Individual Guarantor shall, subject always to the other
provisions of this Agreement, remain liable therefor and shall forthwith pay the
amount of any such deficiency to the Administrative Agent.
Section 4.08. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy under this Agreement or
under any other Facility Document is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and
every other remedy given under this Agreement or under any other Facility
Document or otherwise existing; nor shall the giving, taking or enforcement of
any other or additional security, collateral or guaranty for the payment or
performance of the Obligations operate to prejudice, waive or affect the
security of this Agreement or any rights, powers or remedies under this
Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to look
first to, enforce or exhaust any such other or additional security, collateral
or guaranties.
Section 4.09. Waivers by the Individual Guarantor. (a) The
Individual Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of
extensions of credit, loans, advances or other financial assistance under the
Facility Documents or under any other agreement, note, document or instrument
now or at any time or times hereafter executed by the Individual Guarantor and
delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Individual Guarantor
further waives presentment and demand for payment of any of the Guarantied
Obligations, protest and notice of dishonor or default with respect to any of
the Guarantied Obligations, and all other notices to which the Individual
Guarantor might otherwise be entitled, except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents.
(b) The Individual Guarantor (to the extent that he may lawfully
do so) covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any
manner claim or take the benefit or advance of, any stay (except in connection
with a pending appeal), valuation, appraisal, redemption or extension law now or
at any time hereafter in force that, but for this waiver, might be applicable to
any sale made under any judgment, order or decree based on this Agreement or any
other Facility Document; and the Individual Guarantor (to the extent that he may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all benefit and advance
of
8
10
any and all such laws and hereby covenants that he will not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power in this Agreement or therein granted and
delegated to the Administrative Agent, but that he will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or
enacted.
Section 4.10. Consent. Except as may be otherwise provided in Section
6.01 or in the other Facility Documents, the Individual Guarantor hereby
consents that from time to time, before or after the occurrence or existence of
any Event of Default, with or without notice to or assent from the Individual
Guarantor, any security at any time held by or available to the Administrative
Agent for any of the Obligations, or any other security at any time held by or
available to the Administrative Agent for any obligation of any other Person
secondarily or otherwise liable for any of the Guarantied Obligations, may be
exchanged, surrendered, or released and any of the Guarantied Obligations may be
changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived
or released, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent or any holder
thereof may see fit, and the Individual Guarantor shall remain bound under this
Agreement notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, change,
alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver or release.
ARTICLE 5. DEFEASANCE
Section 5.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. If the Obligors shall pay and
discharge the entire indebtedness on all Obligations outstanding by well and
truly paying or causing to be paid the principal of, and interest on, all
Obligations outstanding, as and when the same become due and payable; and if the
Obligors shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable under this
Agreement with respect to the Obligations and all sums payable under any one or
more of the other Facility Documents, and fully and faithfully discharges or
causes to be discharged every other obligation herein or in any other Facility
Document contained or otherwise secured by any of the Facility Documents; and if
all Commitments shall have been terminated, then and in that case all of the
right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral created
hereby shall cease and terminate, and thereupon the Administrative Agent, upon
written request of the Individual Guarantor, shall forthwith execute and
deliver, without recourse, assignments and other instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharging all of the right, title and interest of the
Administrative Agent in the Collateral created hereby (subject to any
disposition thereof that may have been made by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to any of the Facility Documents).
Section 5.02. Release of Collateral. If, at any time, the amount of
Collateral held by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement exceeds the
amount of the Guarantied Obligations, then the Administrative Agent, upon
request of the Individual Guarantor, shall remit such excess to the Individual
Guarantor.
