any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights,
privileges or options pertaining to such Securities as if it were the absolute
owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its
discretion any and all of such Securities upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate
structure of the issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the Company, its
Subsidiaries or the Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining
to such Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and
deliver any and all of such Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it
may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually
received by it, but the Secured Party shall have no duty to the Company and its
Subsidiary to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. The Secured Party
hereby acknowledges that (i) the rights contained herein regarding voting,
corporate and other rights pertaining to the capital stock of Atlantic North
Casualty Company are subject in all cases to the prior approval of the
Commissioner of the Vermont Department and (ii) such stock may not be
registered.
6.2 Rights and Remedies Generally. (a) If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Secured Party shall
have all the rights of a secured party under the UCC, shall have all rights now
or hereafter existing under all other applicable laws, and, subject to any
mandatory requirements of applicable law then in effect, shall have all the
rights set forth in this Security Agreement and all the rights set forth with
respect to the Collateral or this Security Agreement in any other agreement
between the parties.
(b) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Secured Party may, and within three Business Days after instructions from the
Majority Holders shall, commence the
14
taking of such actions toward collection or enforcement of this Security
Agreement and the Collateral (or any portion thereof), including, without
limitation, action toward foreclosure upon any Collateral, as the Secured Party
deems in its discretion to be appropriate or as otherwise instructed by the
Majority Holders. The Secured Party hereby acknowledges that taking any action
toward collection or enforcement of its rights with respect to the capital stock
of Atlantic North Casualty Company is subject to the supervision and approval of
the Commissioner of the Vermont Department.
6.3 Assembly of Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, upon five days notice to AETG, the Company and each Restricted
Subsidiary, AETG, the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall, at its
own expense, assemble the Collateral (or from time to time any portion thereof)
and make it available to the Secured Party at any place or places designated by
the Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties.
6.4 Disposition of Collateral. The Secured Party will determine the
circumstances and manner in which the Collateral will be disposed of,
including, but not limited to, the determination of whether to foreclose on the
Collateral following an Event of Default. The Secured Party will give AETG, the
Company and each Restricted Subsidiary reasonable notice of the time and place
of any public sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or of the time after
which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made.
AETG, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary agrees that the requirements of
reasonable notice to it shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid
to its address specified in Section 7.3 of this Security Agreement (or such
other address that AETG, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may provide to
the Secured Party in writing) at least ten (10) days before the time of any
public sale or after which any private sale may be made.
6.5 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
(i) all proceeds and distributions on the Collateral received by AETG, the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries shall be held in trust for the Secured
Party, segregated from other funds of AETG, the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries in a separate deposit account containing only such proceeds and
distributions, and shall forthwith upon receipt thereof, be turned over to the
Secured Party in the same form received (appropriately indorsed or assigned to
the order of the Secured Party or in such other manner as shall be satisfactory
to the Secured Party) and (ii) any and all such proceeds and distributions
received by the Secured Party (whether from AETG, the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary or otherwise), or any part thereof, may, in the sole discretion of
the Secured Party, be held by the Secured Party in a separate account as
Collateral hereunder and/or then or at any time or from time to time thereafter,
be applied by the Secured Party against the
15
Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and related expenses, including
attorney's fees as provided in Section 6.8 below.
6.6 Registration Rights; Private Sales.
(a) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its
rights to sell any or all of the Securities, and if in the opinion of the
Secured Party it is necessary or advisable to have the Securities, or that
portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each of AETG, the Company and
each Restricted Subsidiary will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
issuer thereof to, (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers
of the issuer thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and
documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the
reasonable opinion of the Secured Party, necessary to register the Securities,
or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act
and, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement
relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of
three years from the date of the first public offering of the Securities, or
that portion thereof to be sold, (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the
related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Secured Party, are necessary or
advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
thereto, (iv) comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of
any and all jurisdictions which the Secured Party shall designate and (v) make
available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement
(which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act.
(b) Each of AETG, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary
(i) recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of
any or all the Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be
compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group
of purchasers that will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such
securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that any such
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such
sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any
such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially
unreasonable manner by virtue of such sale having been private. The Secured
Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Securities for
the period of time necessary to permit the issuer to register such securities
for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities
laws, even if the issuer thereof would agree to do so.
16
(c) Each of AETG, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary
further agrees (i) to use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done
all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any
portion of the Securities pursuant to this Section 6.6 valid and binding and in
compliance with any and all other applicable requirements of law and (ii) that a
breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.6 will cause
irreparable injury to the Secured Party and the Holders, that the Secured Party
and the Holders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as
a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.6 shall
be specifically enforceable against AETG, the Company, and the Restricted
Subsidiaries and each such person hereby waives and agrees not to assert any
defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for
a defense that no Event of Default has occurred.
6.7 Recourse. AETG, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries
shall jointly and severally pay or remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
satisfy the Obligations. AETG, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall
also be jointly and severally liable for all expenses of the Secured Party
incurred in connection with collecting such deficiency, including, without
limitation, the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Secured
Party to collect such deficiency.
6.8 Expenses; Attorneys Fees. AETG, the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries shall jointly and severally pay or reimburse the Secured Party for
all its expenses in connection with the exercise of its rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, (i) all reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses incurred by the Secured Party and (ii) all filing fees and related
expenses contemplated by Section 4.1 hereof. Expenses of retaking, holding,
preparing for sale, selling or the like shall include the reasonable attorneys'
fees and legal expenses of the Secured Party. All such expenses shall be secured
hereby.
6.9 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. (a)
The Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and
physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207
of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.
(b) The Secured Party shall have no obligation to take any
steps to preserve rights against prior parties to any Collateral.
(c) Neither the Secured Party nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any
17
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
the Debtor or otherwise.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Indemnity. Each of AETG, the Company and each Restricted
Subsidiary agrees jointly and severally to indemnify, reimburse and hold the
Secured Party and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents
("Indemnitees") harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs or expenses or
disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) for whatsoever
kind or nature ("Losses") which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred
by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or arising out of this Security
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that
such Losses are caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such
Indemnitees. The obligations of AETG, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary
under this Section shall be secured hereby and shall survive payment and
performance or discharge of the Obligations and the termination of this Security
Agreement.
7.2 Governing Law. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS).
7.3 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be
effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy, telex, or cable
communication), and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when
delivered by hand, or five days after being deposited in the United States mail,
postage prepaid, or, in the case of telex notice, when sent, answer-back
received, or in the case of telecopy notice, when sent, or in the case of a
nationally recognized overnight courier service, one business day after delivery
to such courier service, addressed, in the case of each party hereto as follows:

7.4 Successors and Assigns. This Security Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of AETG, the Company and each Restricted
Subsidiary, the Secured Party, all
18
future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns,
except that AETG, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary may not assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without
the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
7.5 Waivers and Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this
Security Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
except in accordance with the terms of Article IX of the Indenture. In the case
of any waiver, AETG, the Company, each Restricted Subsidiary and the Secured
Party shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under
the outstanding Obligations, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be
deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent
thereon.
7.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part
of the Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and
no course of dealing among AETG, the Company, each Restricted Subsidiary and the
Secured Party shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
A waiver by the Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and
remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or
concurrently and as often and in such order as the Secured Party deems expedient
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Party would
otherwise have whether by security agreement or now or hereafter existing under
applicable law. No notice to or demand on AETG, the Company and each Restricted
Subsidiary in any case shall entitle AETG, the Company and each Restricted
Subsidiary to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Secured Party to any
other or future action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
7.7 Termination; Release. When the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid and performed in full this Security Agreement shall terminate,
and the Secured Party, at the request and sole expense of AETG, the Company and
each Restricted Subsidiary, will execute and deliver to AETG, the Company and
each Restricted Subsidiary the proper instruments (including UCC termination
statements) acknowledging the termination of this Security Agreement, and will
duly assign, transfer and deliver to the AETG, the Company and each Restricted
Subsidiary, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever,
such of the Collateral and Securities as may be in possession of the
19
Secured Party and has not theretofore been disposed of, applied or released.
7.8 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and
subsections of this Security Agreement are inserted for convenience only and
shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Security Agreement.
7.9 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this
Security Agreement or the Obligations shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
7.10 Additional Restricted Subsidiaries. Each new Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company shall become a party to this Security Agreement for
purposes of this Security Agreement upon execution and delivery by such
Restricted Subsidiary of an addendum to this Security Agreement in the form of
Annex 1 hereto.
7.11 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security
Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
20
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Security and
Pledge Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above
written.
