case of Pledged Securities constituting uncertificated securities, when the
steps required by Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code have been
taken to perfect Secured Party's security interest therein, the security
interest created by this Agreement in the Pledged Securities to the extent
provided in the Uniform Commercial Code is enforceable in accordance with its
terms against all creditors of Debtor and any Person purporting to purchase any
such Pledged Collateral from Debtor, except as enforcement of such security
interest may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally or general equitable principles (whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).

violates the terms of any agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
equipment lease, instrument or other document to which Debtor, or any of its
Subsidiaries, is a party, or by which any of them may be bound or to which any
of their Property may be subject, which violation or conflict, individually or
in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect, or a material adverse
effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral or a material adverse effect on
the security interests hereunder, or (iii) conflicts with any law, order, rule
or regulation applicable to Debtor, or any of its Subsidiaries, of any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Debtor, or any of its
Subsidiaries, or their Property, or (iv) results in or requires the creation or
imposition of any Lien (other than the Lien contemplated hereby) upon or with
respect to any of the Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Debtor, or any
of its Subsidiaries.
(n) Upon reasonable request to Debtor, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, Secured Party shall have full and free access during normal

necessary for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.

instrument or chattel paper shall be immediately delivered to Secured

or communications received by such Debtor with respect to the Pledged
Collateral, all in such manner as Secured Party may require; and

which Secured Party is not named as the sole secured party other than with
respect to Prior Liens.
4.03. Preservation of Rights. Regardless of whether or not
there shall have occurred any Event of Default, Secured Party may institute and
maintain, or cause in its name or in the name of Debtor to be insti-
10
-10-
tuted and maintained, such suits and proceedings as Secured Party may reasonably
deem to be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security
interest in or perfection of the Pledged Collateral in contravention of the
terms of the Financing Document. Debtor agrees not to knowingly take or permit
to be taken any action which would impair the Pledged Collateral or Secured
Party's rights in the Pledged Collateral. Secured Party shall not be required to
take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the
Pledged Collateral.
4.04. Special Provisions Relating to Certain Collateral.
(a) Pledged Securities.
(1) Debtor shall cause the Pledged Securities to constitute at
all times, with respect to each Issuer, all of the shares of each class of
capital stock of each such Issuer then owned by Debtor.
(2) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Debtor shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual,
partnership, managerial and membership rights and powers and other powers of
ownership pertaining to the Pledged Securities (collectively, the "Voting
Powers") for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
other Financing Documents or any other instrument or agreement referred to
herein or therein; provided, however, that Debtor agrees that no vote shall be
cast or other action taken which materially impair the Pledged Securities (other
than pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under the Purchase Agreement)
or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision
of any of this Agreement or any other Financing Document. Secured Party shall
execute and deliver to Debtor or cause to be executed and delivered to Debtor
all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such
instruments, in each case without recourse or warranty, as Debtor may reasonably
request for the purpose of enabling the Debtor to exercise the Voting Powers
that they are entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.04(a)(2). Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Secured Party's
sole and absolute option and following written notice from Secured Party to the
Debtor (such written notice to be effective immediately upon the giving thereof
as provided below) all rights of Debtor to exercise the Voting Powers they are
entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.04(a)(2), and the obligations of
Secured Party under this Section 4.04(a)(2), shall cease, and all such Voting
Powers shall thereupon become transferred to and vested in Secured Party, which
shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such Voting
Powers, including, without limitation, the right to act by shareholder, partner,
member or other interestholder consent. Such authorization shall constitute an
irrevocable voting proxy from each Debtor to Secured Party or, at Secured
Party's option, to Secured Party's nominee. Notwithstanding any other term or
condition contained herein, Secured Party may not exercise
11
-11-
any of the rights or powers described herein with respect to the ownership, sale
or voting of the Pledged Securities, including the foreclosure upon or sale of
the Pledged Securities, unless and until the Secured Party (and, in the case of
a sale of the Pledged Securities, the purchaser thereof) has complied with the
filing requirements of all applicable laws regulating the acquisition of voting
securities or control of an insurance company or health maintenance
organization, and the acquisition of the Pledged Securities or control of the
Issuer thereof by the Secured Party hereunder (or by the purchaser in any such
sale) has been duly approved in accordance with all such laws.
(3) Subject to Section 4.04(a)(4) below, Debtor shall be
entitled to receive and retain any dividends or distributions on the Pledged
Securities to the extent that the payment of such dividends is permitted by the
Purchase Agreement.
(4) If any Event of Default shall have occurred, then so long
as such Event of Default shall continue, and whether or not Secured Party
exercises any available right to declare any Secured Obligation due and payable
or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable
law or under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any other
agreement relating to such Secured Obligation, all dividends and other
distributions on the Pledged Securities shall be paid directly to Secured Party
and retained by it as part of the Pledged Collateral, subject to the terms of
this Agreement, and, if Secured Party shall so request in writing, Debtor agrees
to execute and deliver to Secured Party appropriate additional dividend,
distribution and other orders and documents to that end; provided, however, that
if such Event of Default is cured, any such dividend or distribution theretofore
paid to Secured Party shall (except to the extent theretofore applied to the
Secured Obligations) promptly be returned by Secured Party to Debtor, without
interest and without recourse or warranty. (5) Secured Party shall have the
right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in
its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or
the name of Debtor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of Secured Party.
The Debtor shall promptly give to Secured Party copies of any notices or other
communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in
the name of Debtor. Secured Party shall at all times have the right to exchange
the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or
larger denominations for any reasonable purpose consistent with this Agreement.
(6) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, in order to fully effectuate Secured Party's Voting Powers
pertaining to the Pledged Securities, subject to Section 4.04(a)(2), Debtor,
upon the request of Secured Party, shall secure (if not already se-
12
-12-
cured by Secured Party) executed resignations of the officers, directors or
representatives of any members committee of each issuer whose securities
constitute Pledged Securities in order that Secured Party may elect or appoint
the officers, directors or representatives of such members committee of such
Issuer. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Event of
Default, subject to Section 4.04(a)(2), this Section 4.04(a)(6) shall constitute
and grant an irrevocable proxy which shall become effective and shall entitle
Secured Party, at its election, to vote the Pledged Securities upon any and all
corporate matters.
(7) Debtor hereby represents and warrants that it has made its
own arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting
the Pledged Securities (including, without limitation, rights to convert, rights
to subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender
offers and voting rights of the Pledged Securities), and Debtor agrees that
Secured Party shall have no responsibility or liability for informing Debtor of
any such changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to
take any action with respect thereto.
(8) Subject to Section 4.04(a)(2), Secured Party may, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without notice
and at its option, transfer or register the Pledged Securities or any part
thereof, into its or its nominee's name, without any indication that such
Pledged Securities are subject to the security interest hereunder.
(b) Motor Vehicles. At any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor shall, upon the
request of Secured Party, deliver to Secured Party originals of the
certificates of title or ownership for the Motor Vehicles, and any
other Equipment covered by certificates of title or ownership, owned by
it with Secured Party listed as lienholder.
4.05. Events of Default; Remedies; Etc. During the period
during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) Debtor shall, at the request of Secured Party assemble the
Pledged Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably
convenient to both Secured Party and Debtor, designated in its request;
(b) Secured Party may make any reasonable compromise or
settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Pledged
Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
installments, or otherwise modify the terms, of any of the Pledged
Collateral;
13
-13-
(c) Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies with
respect to the Pledged Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the
jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional
rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in
effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be
asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.04(a)(2) to
exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the
Pledged Collateral as if Secured Party were the sole and absolute owner thereof
(and Debtor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect
to such right);
(d) Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion may, in its name
or in the name of Debtor or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any
money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange
for any of the Pledged Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
and
(e) Secured Party may, upon ten (10) business days' prior written
notice to Debtor of the time and place, with respect to the Pledged Collateral
or any part thereof that shall then be or shall thereafter come into the
possession, custody or control of Secured Party or any of its agents, sell,
lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Pledged
Collateral, at such place or places as Secured Party deems best, and for cash or
for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at
public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to
effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice
as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and Secured
Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any
or all of the Pledged Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the
extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same
absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right
or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Debtor, any such demand,
notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. Secured
Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or
cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to
which the sale may be so adjourned, subject to notice as may be required by law.
In case any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit
or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by
Secured Party until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or
purchasers thereof, but Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any
such purchaser or
14
-14-
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be
sold again upon like notice. For purposes hereof, (i) a written
agreement to purchase the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof
shall be treated as a sale thereof, (ii) Secured Party shall be free to
carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement, and (iii) Debtor shall
not be entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or any portion
thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after Secured
Party shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default
shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As
an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon
it, to the extent permitted by law, Secured Party may proceed by a suit
or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Pledged Collateral
and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a
judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction
or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.05 shall be deemed to
conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section
9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions. If under mandatory requirements of applicable law,
Secured Party shall be required to make disposition of the Pledged
Collateral within a period of time that does not permit the giving of
notice to Debtor as herein before provided, Secured Party need give
Debtor only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably
practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of law.
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section
4.05, including by virtue of the exercise of the license granted to Secured
Party in Section 4.04(b) hereof, shall be applied in accordance with Section
4.09 hereof.
Debtor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, Secured
Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the
Pledged Securities, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other
things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Debtor acknowledges
that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to
Secured Party and Debtor than those obtainable through a public sale without
such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage in public sales
and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of
time necessary to permit the respective Issuer or issuer thereof to register it
for public sale.
15
-15-
If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell
any or all of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section 4.05, and if in
the opinion Secured Party it is necessary or reasonably advisable to have the
Pledged Securities or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the
provisions of the Securities Act, Debtor shall cause each issuer of such
securities to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the committee of directors and
officers of such issuer of such securities 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 opinion of Secured Party, necessary or advisable to register the
Pledged Securities or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of
the Securities Act, (ii) use its diligent best efforts to cause the registration
statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a
period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of
the Pledged Securities or that portion thereof to be sold, ending when all the
Pledged Securities or that portion thereof to be sold, are sold, and (iii) make
all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of
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. Debtor agrees to cause
each issuer of such securities to comply with the applicable provisions of the
securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which Secured Party
shall designate and to 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. Debtor further
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Secured Party and any underwriter
and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons
from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses to Secured Party of legal
counsel), and claims (including, without limitations, the costs of
investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or
claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in
any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar
as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon
information relating to Secured Party furnished in writing to Debtor or the
issuer of such Pledged Collateral by Secured Party expressly for use therein.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in any such
event Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to applicable
law, (i) may proceed to make a private sale of the Pledged Securities
notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering
such Pledged Securities or part thereof shall have been filed under such
Securities Act, (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser
to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a pur-
16
-16-
chaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its
own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of
such Pledged Securities or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, Secured
Party shall incur no responsibility or liability to Debtor for selling all or
any part of the Pledged Securities at a price which Secured Party may in good
xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility
that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred
until the registration as aforesaid.
Debtor further agrees to use its diligent 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 Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section
4.05 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable legal
requirements. Debtor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in this Section 4.05 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party,
that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and,
as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.05
shall be specifically enforceable against Debtor, and, to the extent permitted
by law, Debtor 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 and is continuing.
4.06. Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other
realization of or upon the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof
are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the
payment in full of the Secured Obligations, Debtor shall remain liable for any
deficiency.
4.07. Removals, Name Change, Etc. Without at least thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to Secured Party, Debtor shall not (i) maintain any
of its books and records with respect to the Pledged Collateral at any office or
maintain its principal place of business at any place other than at the address
set forth in Schedule 2 hereto, or permit any Equipment to be located anywhere,
other than in one of the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule 1 hereto, or (ii)
change its corporate name, or the name under which it does business, from the
name shown on the signature pages hereto.
4.08. Private Sale. Secured Party shall not incur liability as
a result of the sale of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at any
private sale pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner. Debtor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising
by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral may have
been sold at any such private sale held in a commercially reasonable manner was
less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less
than the aggregate amount of the Se-
17
-17-
cured Obligations, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and
does not offer the Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.
4.09. Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein
expressly provided and except as provided below in this Section 4.09, the
proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the
Pledged Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by
Secured Party under this Section 4, shall be applied by Secured Party:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such
collection, sale or other realization, including out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of Secured Party and the fees and expenses of its agents
and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by Secured
Party in connection therewith;
Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations; and
Finally, to the payment to Debtor, or its successors or
assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any
surplus then remaining.
As used in this Section 4 "proceeds" of Pledged Collateral shall mean cash,
securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind
of, Pledged Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization,
liquidation or adjustment of debt of Debtor or any issuer of or obligor on any
of the Pledged Collateral.
4.10. Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers
granted by this Agreement to Secured Party while no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, subject to applicable law, Secured Party is hereby
appointed the attorney-in-fact of Debtor for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Section 4 and taking any action and executing any instruments
that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, so long as Secured Party shall be entitled
under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the Pledged Collateral,
Secured Party shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all
checks made payable to the order of Debtor representing any dividend, payment or
other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and
to give full discharge for the same. Debtor agrees, in the absence of willful
wrongdoing or gross negligence, that neither Secured Party nor any of its
agents, designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission
or omission, or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law with respect
to the exercise of the power of attorney granted under this Section 4.10.
4.11. Perfection. Within five Business Days after the date
hereof, Debtor shall (i) file such financing statements and other documents in
such offices as Secured Party may request to perfect the security interests
granted by Section 3 of this Agreement and (ii) deliver to Secured Party all
certificates identified in Annex 1 hereto, accompanied by undated stock powers
duly executed in blank.
18
-18-
4.12. Termination. When all Secured Obligations shall have
been paid in full and the commitments of Secured Party under the Purchase
Agreement shall have expired or been terminated, this Agreement shall terminate,
and Secured Party shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and
delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation
whatsoever, any remaining Pledged Collateral and money received in respect
thereof, to or on the order of the respective Debtor and to be released and
canceled all licenses and rights referred to in Section 4.04(b) hereof. Secured
Party shall also execute and deliver to Debtor upon such termination or upon the
sale or other disposition of Property permitted by the Purchase Agreement such
Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, certificates for terminating the
Liens on the Motor Vehicles and such other documentation as shall be reasonably
requested by Debtor to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the
Pledged Collateral.
4.13. Expenses. Debtor agrees to pay to Secured Party all
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of
every kind) of, or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions of this
Section 4, or performance by Secured Party of any obligations of Debtor in
respect of the Pledged Collateral which Debtor have failed or refused to
perform, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement,
collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Pledged
Collateral, and for the care of the Pledged Collateral and defending or
asserting rights and claims of Secured Party in respect thereof, by litigation
or otherwise, including expenses of insurance, and all such expenses shall be
Secured Obligations to Secured Party secured under Section 3 hereof.
4.14. Further Assurances. Debtor agrees that, from time to
time upon the written request of Secured Party, Debtor shall execute and deliver
such further documents and do such other acts and things as Secured Party may
reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
4.15. Irrevocable Authorization and Instruction to Issuers,
LLCs and Partnerships. Debtor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer to
comply with any instruction received by it from Secured Party in writing that
(a) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) is
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other Financing
Document to which it is a party, without any other or further instructions from
Debtor, and Debtor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so
complying.
4.16. Effect of Sale, etc. (a) Any sale or resales 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
Debtor of all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever either at law
or in equity, of, in and to the Pledged 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 Debtor. At any such sale Secured Party may bid
for and purchase the Pledged Collateral sold and may make payment therefor as
set forth in clause (b) of this Section 5.16, and Secured Party so purchasing
any such Pledged Collateral, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold,
retain and dispose of such Pledged Collateral without further accountability.
19
-19-
(b) The receipt by Secured Party, or by any Person authorized
under any judicial proceedings to make such sale, of the proceeds of any such
sale shall be a sufficient discharge to any purchaser of the Pledged 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 Pledged
Collateral to the Secured Obligations by crediting thereon the amount
apportionable and applicable thereto out of the net proceeds of such sale.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
5.01. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Secured Party or
any of its agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no
delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Secured Party or any
of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of Secured Party in order
to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible,
and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any

in any other jurisdiction.
5.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If Secured Party
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 have been determined adversely to Secured Party, then and in
every such case Secured Party and Debtor shall, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions under this Agreement and under the other Financing Documents, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of Secured Party shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted.
5.11. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy under this Agreement 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 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 Secured Obligations operate to prejudice, waive or affect the

Agreement, nor shall Secured Party or any Lender be required to look first to,

guaranties.
5.12. Consent. Debtor 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 Debtor, any security at any time held by or

any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any of the Secured
Obligations, may be exchanged, surrendered, or released and any of the Secured
Obligations may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered,

alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver or release.
5.13. Waivers by Debtor. (a) Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICES AND HEARINGS FOR ANY
PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT THAT THE DEBTORS WOULD
OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF
ANY STATE THEREOF, and, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor
hereby further waives:
(i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except
any damages which are the direct result of Secured Party's gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;
21
-21-
(ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of
sale or other requirements, with respect to the enforcement of Secured
Party's rights and powers hereunder; and
(iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay,
marshaling of assets, extension or moratorium, existing at law or in
equity, by statute or otherwise, now or hereafter in force, in order to
prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the sale or other
disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof, and
Debtor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it now or
hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives all such rights.
(b) Debtor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this
Agreement and of extensions of credit under the Financing Documents or
under any other agreement, note, document or instrument now or at any
time or times hereafter executed by Debtor and delivered to Secured
Party. Debtor further waives presentment and demand for payment of any

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

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 Financing Document; and
Debtor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives and relinquishes all benefit and advance of any and all such
laws and hereby covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power in this Agreement or therein granted and
delegated to Secured Party, but that it will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been
made or enacted.
5.14. Additional Collateral. Without notice or consent of
Debtor and without impairment of the security interests and rights created by
this Agreement, Secured Party may accept from any person or persons additional
collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations. Neither the creation
of the security interests created hereunder nor the acceptance of any such
additional collateral or security shall prevent Secured Party from resorting to
such additional collateral or security or to the Pledged Collateral, in any
order without affecting Secured Party's rights hereunder.
5.15. Obligations Absolute. The liability of Debtor under this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not
be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by (a) any
change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any of the Secured
Obligations, or in any other term of the Financing Documents, the Notes, any
waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or
addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or
inaction under or in respect of the Notes or any other Financing Document or any
assignment or transfer thereof; (b) any lack of
22
-22-

Financing Document; (c) any furnishing of any additional security for the
Secured Obligations or any acceptance thereof or any release or non-perfection

release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any agreement
pursuant to which a Lien is created in favor of Secured Party, pursuant to which
a person other than Debtor has granted a security interest; or (g) to the extent
permitted by law, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, Debtor.
5.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. Debtor and Secured Party each
hereby irrevocably waives all right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding
or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.

Party agree to execute such amendments to this agreement as may be reasonably
required by the department of insurance of the respective states of
incorporation of the Issuers.
