Management of Collateral.  

(a)

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may send a notice of assignment and/or notice of the Holders’ security interest to any and all Account Debtors or third parties holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral, and thereafter the Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Accounts Receivable and/or take possession of the Collateral and the books and records relating thereto.  During the continuance of a Default (except with respect to an Account Receivable owed by an unaffiliated third party and only in the ordinary course of business in an amount and manner consistent with past practice) or Event of Default, the Obligors shall not, without prior written consent of the Agent, grant any extension of time of payment of any Account Receivable, compromise or settle any Account Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, release, in whole or in part, any Person or prop erty liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

Obligations Upon Acceleration.

(a)

Issuer Option to Invoke Equity Put Transaction.  Upon the acceleration of the Notes pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 9.01 (the date of such acceleration, the “Acceleration Date”), the Issuer shall have the option of requiring the Equity Put Transaction (as defined below) for so long as each of the following conditions are met:

(1)

within 7 calendar days after the Acceleration Date, the Issuer delivers written notice to each of the Holders, stating that the Issuer is preserving (but is not necessarily exercising) its right to invoke the Equity Put Transaction (a “Preservation Notice”);

(2)

within 30 calendar days after the Acceleration Date, the Issuer delivers written notice (the “Equity Put Invocation”) to the Holders, stating that the Issuer shall exercise its right to invoke the Equity Put Transaction and specifying a date for consummation of the Equity Put Transaction (it being agreed that, immediately upon delivery of the Equity Put Invocation and without further action but subject to Section 9.02(d), all of the Notes shall become due and payable at a price of 102% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest); and

(b)

Equity Put Transaction.  On the Equity Put Date, each Holder of Notes (a “Noteholder”) shall be obligated to sell certain equity securities to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall be required to repurchase such equity securities, as follows:  (1) each Noteholder shall deliver to the Issuer all Qualifying Equity held by it, (2) the Issuer shall be



- 72 -






obligated to repurchase from such Noteholder the Preferred Stock portion of such Qualifying Equity for a purchase price equal to the original purchase price for such Preferred Stock, plus any dividends declared and/or accrued but unpaid thereon to the date of repurchase, and (3) the Warrant portion of such Qualifying Equity shall be cancelled, and such Noteholder shall waive any right to exercise such Warrant(s) (collectively, the “Equity Put Transaction”).  For the purposes of this Section 9.02, “Qualifying Equity” of a Noteholder shall consist of, for every $1000 principal amount of Notes held by such Noteholder, 3.569 shares (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications or similar transactions) of Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 4.286 Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrants, and as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications or similar transactions and pursuant to the anti-d ilution provisions thereof).

(c)

Election Not to Participate.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.02(a) and 9.02(b), any Noteholder (a “Non-Participating Holder”), by written notice delivered to the Issuer within 10 calendar days after receipt of the Preservation Notice, may elect to be excluded from the Equity Put Transaction and, instead, shall be required not later than the Equity Put Date to exercise the Warrant portion of all Qualifying Equity held by such Non-Participating Holder.  Such Warrants may be exercised by any method specified therein including, without limitation, net exercise.  If the Issuer has not funded and consummated the Equity Put Transaction on or prior to the Outside Date, each Non-Participating Holder may at any time thereafter, by written notice to the Issuer, elect to participate in the Equity Put Transaction.  If any Non-Participating Holder so elects, such Non-Participating Holder shall no longer be required to exercise its Warrants and Section 9.02(b)(2) shall immediately apply to all Qualifying Equity held by it.

(d)

Non-Qualifying Equity.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.02 to the contrary, only the following Notes shall be due and payable at a price of 102% of the principal amount, plus accrued an unpaid interest (with all other Notes to be due and payable at a price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued an unpaid interest):  (1) Notes for which corresponding Qualifying Equity has been delivered pursuant to the Equity Put Transaction, and (2) Notes for which the Warrant portion of corresponding Qualifying Equity has been exercised in accordance with Section 9.02(c).  The reference to “corresponding” in this Section 9.02(d) means that the Securities are delivered or exercised, as applicable, in the proportions specified in the definition of Qualifying Equity in Section 9.02(b).

(e)

Remedies.  Nothing contained in this Section 9.02 shall be construed to limit the rights or the Agent or the Holders to take reasonable actions to protect their rights under the Notes and preserve the Collateral, the Agent’s Lien, and the Holders’ rights with respect thereto during the pendency of the Equity Put Option or to exercise any and all of its or their other rights and remedies under applicable law (including, but not limited to, the Bankruptcy Code and the Uniform Commercial Code), hereunder and under the other Note Documents.

Section 9.03

No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc.  No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Reliance.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

Section 10.05

Indemnification.  To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Obligors, the Holders will reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its affiliates, partners, members, directors, officers, managers, attorneys, agents and employees from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.07; provided, however, that no Holder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penal ties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The obligations of the Holders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.06

Successor Agent.

(a)

The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Note Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Issuer and each Holder.  Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b)

Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Agent, and the Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents.  After the Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

(d)

Any corporation into which the Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Agent, shall be the successor to the Agent without further action.

Section 10.07

Collateral Matters.

(a)

The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which the Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Sections 8.01(d) or 12.04; provided, that the Agent will provide notice to the Issuer at least 5 days prior to making any Agent Advances (unless giving such notice would prejudice the Agent’s ability to preserve and protect the Collateral, in which case the Agent will provide whatever notice is practicable).  The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand, shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.04(a) or, as applicable, Section 2.04(b), and shall be secu red by the Collateral.  The Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Note Account in accordance with Section 4.02.  All such "Agent Advances" shall be funded with monies made available by the Holders, as no provisions of this Agreement or any Note Document shall require the Agent to expand or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, unless it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is assured to it.  

(b)

The Holders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral upon final payment and satisfaction of all Loans and all other Obligations; or Collateral constituting property being sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of any Obligor’s business and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Note Documents; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Holders.  Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Holders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.07(b).

(c)

Without in any manner limiting the Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Required Holders (as set forth in this Section 10.07(c)), each Holder agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Agent under this Section 10.07.  Upon receipt by the Agent of confirmation from the Holders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Obligor, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Holders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Holders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obliga tions or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Obligor in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Obligor.



- 78 -







(d)

The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Holder to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Obligors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 10.07 or in any other Note Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral if it also is one of the Holders and tha t the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Holder, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 10.08

Agency for Perfection.  Each Holder hereby appoints the Agent and each other Holder as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Agent and each Holder hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and the Holders as secured parties.  Should any Holder obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Holder shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. &n bsp;Each Obligor by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

Section 10.09

Compensation for Services.  For services rendered as Agent hereunder, the Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as is set forth in Exhibit I hereto or as may be agreed between the Agent and the Issuer from time to time.  All such compensation shall be paid to the Agent by the Issuer.

any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Funding Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Obligor or otherwise;

(c)

any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d)

any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Obligor; or

(e)

any other circumstance whatsoever (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agent or the Holders that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor or any other Guarantor or surety.

This Article XI shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent, the Holders or any other Person, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 11.03

Waiver.  Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article XI and any requirement that the Agent or the Holders exhaust any right or take any action against any Obligor or any other Person or any Collateral.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.03 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.  Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Article XI, and acknowledges that this Article XI is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

Section 11.05

Subrogation.  No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Obligor or any other Guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent and the Holders against any Obligor or any other Guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Obligor or any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obliga tions and all other amounts payable under this Article XI shall have been paid in full in cash.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent and the Holders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Article XI thereafter arising.  If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Agent and the Holders of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI shall be paid in full in cash, the Agent and the Holders will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

- 88 -






order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Note Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Note Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to the Agent or such Holder hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent or such Holder.

Section 12.15

Indemnification.

(a)

General Indemnity.  In addition to each Obligor’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Obligor agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Holder and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Closing Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Funding Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Agent’s or any Holder’s furnishing of funds to the Issuer under this Agreement or the other Funding Documents, (iii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Funding Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Funding Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Obligors shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b)

Payment; Survival.  The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Note Account; provided, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the recourse of the Agent directly against the Indemnitees for such indemnification.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Obligor shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.  The indemnities set forth in this Section 12.15 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Note Documents.

Section 12.16

Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Obligor, the Agent and each Holder and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Obligor, the Agent and each Holder, and their respective successors and assigns, except no Issuer or Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Holder, and any assignment by any Holder shall be governed by Section 12.07 hereof.



- 89 -







Section 12.17

Interest.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Agent and each Holder shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it.  Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Note Document would be usurious as to the Agent or any Holder under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to the Agent or such Holder notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Note Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to the Agent or any Holder that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or re ceived by the Agent or such Holder under this Agreement or any other Note Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by the Agent or such Holder on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the Agent or such Holder, as applicable, to the Issuer); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to the Agent or any Holder may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwi se shall be canceled automatically by the Agent or such Holder, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the Agent or such Holder, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the Agent or such Holder to the Issuer).  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to the Agent or such Holder, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Notes until payment in full.  If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to the Agent or any Holder on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Agent or such Holder pursuant to this Section 12.17 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest comput ation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Agent or such Holder would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Agent or such Holder computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Agent or such Holder, then the amount of interest payable to the Agent or such Holder in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Agent or such Holder until the total amount of interest payable to the Agent or such Holder shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Agent or such Holder if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.17.

For purposes of this Section 12.17, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Issuer, on



- 90 -






the one hand, and the Agent and the Holders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

Section 12.18

 Customer Identification Program.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges receipt of the notice included in Exhibit I hereto and made part hereof, which provides that information may be required by the Agent to verify the identities of the parties.  Each of the parties hereto shall ensure that any successors or assigns acknowledge receipt of such notice.
