1. Standby; Subordination; Subrogation. No Creditor will ask, demand, sue for, take or, except as provided in Section 2 below, receive from Company or any other party, by setoff or in any other manner:

(a) The whole or any part of any indebtedness, obligations and liabilities which may now or hereafter be owing by Company, or any successor or assign of Company, including, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor in possession (the term “Company” hereinafter shall include any such successor and assign of Company), to such Creditor in respect of the Subordinated Notes and the Series B Collateral Documents (all such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as the “Subordinated Debt”); or

(b) Any security for any of the foregoing (other than the Series B Collateral); unless and until all obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness of Company to Agent and Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising directly between Company and Agent or any Lender, or acquired outright, conditionally or as collateral security from another by Agent or any Lender, shall have been fully paid and satisfied in cash with interest, including, without limitation, any interest accruing after the commencement of insolvency proceedings with respect to Company, whether or not such interest is allowed as a claim in such proceeding (all such obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of Company to Agent and each Lender being hereinafter referred to as the “Senior Debt”) and all financing arrangements between Company, Agent and Lenders have been terminated. All liens and security interests of each Creditor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of Company or any assets securing the Senior Debt (including, without limitation, the Series B Collateral) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights and interests of Agent and Lenders in those assets irrespective of whether Agent’s liens and security interests have been perfected, or the time or order of attachment or perfection of liens or security interests, or the time of filing or recording of financing statements, mortgages or other agreements or documents, or the time of giving or failure to give notice of acquisition of purchase money or other security interests or liens; no Creditor shall have any right to possession of any such assets, to notify account debtors of Company or to foreclose upon or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to any such assets, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Senior Debt shall have been fully paid and satisfied in cash and all financing arrangements between Company, Agent and Lenders have been terminated. Each Creditor also hereby agrees that, (i) the Senior Debt shall include all obligations, indebtedness and

 

-2-


liabilities of Company to Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Senior Debt, or any right or power of Company or any other entity or individual to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such obligation, indebtedness or liability and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the agreements and obligations of such Creditor hereunder; and (ii) regardless of whether the Senior Debt is secured or unsecured, Agent and Lenders shall be subrogated for such Creditor with respect to such Creditor’s claims with respect to the Subordinated Debt against Company and such Creditor’s rights, liens and security interests, if any, in any of Company’s assets (including, without limitation, the Series B Collateral) and the proceeds thereof until all of the Senior Debt shall have been fully paid and satisfied in cash and all financing arrangements between Company, Agent and Lenders have been terminated.

2. Modifications to Subordinated Notes. Except as contemplated by Section 17 below, Company and Creditors hereby agree and understand that the terms of the Subordinated Debt, the Subordinated Notes and the Series B Collateral Documents may not be modified or amended without Agent’s prior written consent.

3. Subordinated Debt Owed Only to Creditors. Each Subordinated Noteholder warrants and represents (a) that such Subordinated Noteholder has not previously assigned or transferred any interest in the Subordinated Debt, (b) that no other party owns an interest in the Subordinated Debt other than Subordinated Noteholders, (c) that the Subordinated Debt had not been guaranteed by any person and Company is the only obligor with respect to the Subordinated Debt and (d) that the entire Subordinated Debt is owing only to Subordinated Noteholders and covenants that the entire Subordinated Debt shall continue to be owing only to Subordinated Noteholders unless assigned or transferred subject to the terms of this Agreement. No Subordinated Noteholder or the Trustee will, without the prior written consent of Agent: (a) cancel, waive, forgive, or subordinate to any other indebtedness of Company (other than the Senior Debt), any of the Subordinated Debt or any rights in respect thereof; (b) except for the Series B Collateral, take any collateral security for any of the Subordinated Debt; (c) take any guaranty from any person with respect to all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt; or (d) commence, or join with any other creditor in commencing, any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings with respect to Company.

4. Priority of Agent and Lenders; Grant of Authority to Agent. In the event of any distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of Company or the proceeds thereof to the creditors of Company or readjustment of the obligations and indebtedness of Company, whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, or the application of the assets of Company to the payment or liquidation thereof, or upon the dissolution, liquidation, cessation or other winding up of Company’s business, or upon the sale of all or substantially all of

 

-3-


Company’s assets, then, and in any such event, (i) Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, shall be entitled to receive payment in cash in full of any and all of the Senior Debt then owing prior to the payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt and (ii) any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all of the Subordinated Debt shall be paid or delivered directly to Agent for application on any of the Senior Debt, due or not due, until such Senior Debt shall have first been fully paid and satisfied in cash. Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered, in its discretion, to make and present for and on behalf of any Creditor such proofs of claim against Company on account of the Subordinated Debt as Agent may deem expedient or proper and to vote such proofs of claim in any such proceeding and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply the same on account of any of the Senior Debt. Each Creditor irrevocably authorizes and empowers Agent to demand, sue for, collect and receive each of the aforesaid payments and distributions and give acquaintance therefor and to file claims and take such other actions, in Agent’s own name or in the name of such Creditor or otherwise, as Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Agreement; and such Creditor will execute and deliver to Agent such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments or documents, including notes (together with such assignments or endorsements as Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate) as may be requested by Agent in order to enable Agent to enforce any and all claims upon or with respect to any or all of the Subordinated Debt and to collect and receive any and all payments and distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt, all for the benefit of Agent and Lenders. Following payment in full of the Senior Debt in cash, Agent will remit to Creditors, to the extent of Creditors’ interest therein, all dividends or other payments or distributions paid to and held by Agent in excess of the Senior Debt.

5. Payments Received by Creditors; Consent to Sale; Allocation.

(a) Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument, or any proceeds thereof, be received by any Creditor upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt prior to the satisfaction of all of the Senior Debt in cash and termination of all financing arrangements between Company, Agent and Lenders, such Creditor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and shall forthwith deliver the same to Agent in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by such Creditor where necessary), for application on any of the Senior Debt, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Creditor as the property of Agent. In the event of the failure of any Creditor to make any such endorsement or assignment to Agent, Agent, or any of its officers or employees, is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same.

(b) In the event Company desires to dispose of any of the Collateral (as herein defined) and Agent consents to such disposition, each Creditor shall be deemed to have consented to such disposition free and clear of any liens and security interests of such

 

-4-


Creditor in such Collateral (including, without limitation, the Series B Collateral) and such Creditor agrees that any purchaser of any Collateral may rely on this Agreement as evidence of such Creditor’s consent to such disposition free and clear of any liens and security interests of such Creditor in such Collateral (including, without limitation, the Series B Collateral). Each Creditor agrees to execute such releases with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Series B Collateral) to be disposed of as Company or as Agent requests; provided, that (i) the failure of such Creditor to execute such releases shall not affect the right of the purchaser of such Collateral (including, without limitation, the Series B Collateral) to rely on this Agreement and (ii) in furtherance of the foregoing, such Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Creditor and in the name of such Creditor, to execute and deliver the releases which such Creditor may be required to deliver pursuant to this Section 5(b). In the event any Creditor receives any proceeds of Collateral to which Agent is entitled under this Agreement, such Creditor shall hold such proceeds in trust and promptly remit such proceeds in the same form received to Agent unless the Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash.

6. Instrument Legend; Amendments. Any instrument or certificate evidencing any of the Subordinated Debt, or any portion thereof, will be inscribed with a legend conspicuously indicating that payment thereof is subordinated to the claims of Agent and Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and a copy thereof will be delivered to Agent. Any instrument or certificate evidencing any of the Subordinated Debt, or any portion thereof, which is hereafter executed by Company will, on the date thereof, be inscribed with the aforesaid legend and a copy thereof will be delivered to Agent on the date of its execution or within five (5) business days thereafter and the original thereof will be delivered as and when described hereinabove. Each Creditor hereby authorizes Agent to take such action as Agent deems appropriate to evidence the subordination effected hereunder, including without limitation the filing by Agent on behalf of each Creditor of Uniform Commercial Code amendment statements that provide that the Series B Collateral in favor of Trustee has been subordinated to Agent.

7. Continuing Nature of Subordination; Subrogation. This Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall continue to be effective (notwithstanding the insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of Company) until the Senior Debt shall have been paid in cash in full and all financing arrangements between Company, Agent and Lenders have been terminated. This is a continuing agreement of subordination and Agent and Lenders may continue, at any time and without notice to any Creditor, to extend credit or other financial accommodations and loan monies to or for the benefit of Company on the faith hereof. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt, all as though such payment had not been made. Upon the payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt and termination of all financing arrangements between Company, Agent and Lenders, Creditors shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to Agent, or otherwise applied to payment of, the Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

8. Additional Agreements Between Company, Agent and Lenders. Agent and each Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Creditor, enter into such agreement or agreements with Company as Agent or such Lender may deem proper, extending the time of payment of or renewing or otherwise altering, amending, modifying or supplementing the terms of the Loan Agreement, other agreements, instruments and documents evidencing the Senior Debt or all or any of the Senior Debt or affecting the collateral or any guaranty underlying any or all of the Senior Debt, and may exchange, sell, release, surrender or otherwise deal with any such security or guaranties, without in any way thereby impairing or affecting this Agreement.

9. Creditors’ Waivers. Each Creditor expressly waives all notice of (i) the existence or creation or nonpayment of all or any portion of the Senior Debt and (ii) the acceptance by Agent and Lenders of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement and all the notices not specifically required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement whatsoever and each Creditor expressly waives reliance by Agent and Lenders upon the subordination and other agreements as herein provided. This Agreement shall remain valid and effective and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each Creditor and Agent regardless of the validity, enforceability or priority of the Senior Debt or any liens securing the Senior Debt. Each Creditor agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender has made any warranties or representations with respect to the due execution, legality, validity, completeness or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, or the collectability of the Senior Debt, that Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to manage and supervise their financial arrangements with Company without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement and without regard to the existence of any rights that such Creditor may now or hereafter have in or to any of the assets of Company, and that neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability to such Creditor for, and waives any claim which such Creditor may now or hereafter have against, Agent or any Lender arising out of (i) any and all actions which Agent or any Lender takes or omits to take (including, without limitation, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of liens or security interests in any existing or future collateral for the Senior Debt (the “Collateral”), actions with respect to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release, or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Senior Debt from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) with respect to the Loan Agreement or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Senior Debt or the valuation, use, protection or release of the Collateral, (ii) Agent’s election, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (iii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by Company, as debtor in possession. In that regard, each Creditor agrees that (A) if Company desires to use cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Agent consents to such use, such Creditor will also consent to such use without asserting any objection of any kind (including an objection on the grounds of failure to provide adequate

 

-6-


protection for such Creditor’s junior lien on the Series B Collateral), and (B) if Company desires to obtain credit from Agent and Lenders under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code to be secured by the Collateral, such Creditor will consent to such credit without asserting any objection of any kind (including an objection on the grounds of failure to provide adequate protection for such Creditor’s junior lien on the Series B Collateral). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Creditor waives the right to assert the doctrine of marshalling with respect to any of the Collateral, and consents and agrees that Agent may proceed against any or all of the Collateral in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.

10. Agent’s Waivers. No waiver shall be deemed to be made by Agent of any of its rights hereunder, unless the same shall be in a writing, and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Agent or any Lender or the obligations of Creditors to Agent and each Lender in any other respect at any other time. No delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

11. Information Concerning Financial Condition of Company. Each Creditor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Company, any and all endorsers and any and all guarantors of the Senior Debt and/or the Subordinated Debt and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Debt and/or Subordinated Debt that diligent inquiry would reveal, and such Creditor hereby agrees that Agent shall have no duty to advise such Creditor of information known to Agent regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes, at any time or from time to time, to provide any such information to any Creditor, Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to provide any such information to such Creditor on any subsequent occasion or (ii) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine and shall be under no obligation to disclose any information which, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, Agent wishes to maintain confidential. Each Creditor hereby agrees that all payments received by Agent may be applied, reversed, and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of the Senior Debt, without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement and assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Debt or to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of all or any of the Collateral and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

12. No Offset. In the event any Creditor at any time is indebted to Company, such Creditor hereby irrevocably agrees that such Creditor shall not deduct from or setoff against any amounts owing by such Creditor to Company any amounts such Creditor claims are due to such Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF ILLINOIS AND NOT THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS GOVERNING CONTRACTS TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE. EACH CREDITOR HEREBY AGREES TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF COOK, STATE OF ILLINOIS OR, AT THE SOLE OPTION OF AGENT, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH AGENT SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY. EACH CREDITOR WAIVES ANY OBJECTION OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND VENUE.

The Series C Notes have been issued in the aggregate principal amount of $7,879,835.51

I. GENERAL TERMS

1.1 Interest only shall be payable at the rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum, on the principal balance of this Note from time to time outstanding from and after the date hereof, and shall be due and payable quarterly, until the principal has been paid in full, on the first day of April, July, October, and January in each year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rate of


interest shall be increased to an amount necessary to result in a payment to the holder of fourteen percent (14%) per annum net of withholding for United States Federal Income Taxes, it being contemplated that Borrower shall receive substantiation for Federal Income Tax purposes of circumstances supporting withholding at a rate no greater than seventeen and one-half percent (17  1/2%) of interest hereunder. The first interest payment shall be due January 1, 1996 and shall include all interest accrued from the date hereof until the date of such interest payment.

1.2 If not sooner paid, the outstanding and unpaid principal balance shall be paid on October 1, 2000, together with accrued and unpaid interest on this Note.

1.3 Principal, premium, if any, and interest on this note are payable in lawful money of the United States. The principal of this Note may be prepaid at any time after ten (10) days, written notice to the Lender, in whole or in part, and shall be accompanied by payment in cash of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid, together with, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, a Payment Premium.

1.4 In the event of a Public Offering of the common stock of the Company, or in the event of a Refinancing, the principal then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable, together with, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, a Payment Premium in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Net Proceeds of such Public Offering or Refinancing or (ii) the amount determined in accordance with § 1.6(iv). The Net Proceeds shall be applied toward the payment of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Notes, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, such Payment Premium.

1.5 In the event of a Merger or Dissolution, the principal then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, a Payment Premium in the amount determined in accordance with § 1.6(iv).

For the Collateral Trustee’s further security, it agrees that the Collateral Trustee shall have a special property interest, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, in all of the Grantor’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral (and in any computer programs necessary to use such books and records) and following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, it shall deliver and turn over copies of any such books and records (and such programs) to the Collateral Trustee or its representative at any time on demand of the Collateral Trustee.

6.3. Compliance with Laws. The Grantor will comply, in all material respects, with all laws, acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions of any governmental authority applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of its business (to the extent that the same may affect the Collateral); provided, however, that it may contest any action,

 

-12-


regulation, order, decree or direction in any reasonable manner which shall not adversely affect the Collateral Trustee’s rights or the perfection of its security interest in the Collateral.

6.4. Payment of Obligations. The Grantor will pay promptly when due, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of its income or profits therefrom, as well as all claims of any kind (including claims for labor, materials and supplies), except that no such charge need be paid if (i) the validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) such proceedings do not involve any danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral or any interest therein and (iii) such charge is adequately reserved against in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

6.5. Limitation on Liens on Collateral or Other Financing Statements. Except with respect to Permitted Liens, or Liens for taxes which are not yet due and payable or for taxes, assessments, charges or levies permitted to be unpaid pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, which Liens are not material, the Grantor will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and it will defend the Collateral against and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral, and it will defend the right, title and interest of the Collateral Trustee in and to any of its rights in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. Except for financing statements or assignments filed pursuant to this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement or relating to Permitted Liens, the Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee, file or suffer to be on file or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file in any jurisdiction any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Collateral Trustee is not named as the sole secured party.

6.6. Limitations on Dispositions of Collateral. The Grantor will not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt, offer or contract to do so, other than in the ordinary course of its business consistent with past practice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor may, consistent with the terms of this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement, dispose of or otherwise utilize cash proceeds of the Collateral in the ordinary course of its business. Whether or not any Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the proceeds of the Collateral, other than those referred to in this Section 6.6, immediately upon receipt thereof by the Grantor, shall be held by the Collateral Trustee as additional Collateral hereunder.

6.7. Insurance. The Grantor will, at all times, maintain or cause to be maintained on the Collateral, insurance against loss or damage by fire or other casualty to the extent customary with respect to like properties of companies conducting similar businesses and will maintain or cause to be maintained public liability and workmen’s compensation insurance insuring the Grantor to the extent customary with respect to companies conducting similar businesses and, upon request, will furnish to the Collateral Trustee satisfactory evidence of the

 

-13-

If the Grantor shall at any time fail to obtain and maintain any of the policies of insurance required herein, or fail to pay any premium in whole or in part relating to any such policies, the Collateral Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain or cause to be maintained insurance coverage with respect to the Collateral, and pay all or part of the premium thereunder, without waiving any Event of Default by the Grantor, and any sums disbursed by the Collateral Trustee shall be obligations of the Grantor to the Collateral Trustee payable on demand. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, the Collateral Trustee, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, shall have the right to settle and compromise any and all claims under any of the policies required to be maintained by the Grantor hereunder, to demand and receive all monies payable thereunder, and to execute in the name of the Grantor and/or the Collateral Trustee any proof of loss, notice or other instruments in connection with such policies or any loss thereunder.

7. Performance by Collateral Trustee of Grantor’s Obligations. If the Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Collateral Trustee or its agent shall perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Collateral Trustee or its agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 1.1 of the Series B Notes, shall be payable by the Grantor to the Collateral Trustee on demand.

8. Events of Default.

-15-


Subordination Agreement, the provisions of the Subordination Agreement shall be binding. The Collateral Trustee hereby acknowledges that it has had presented to it and has read the Subordination Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of the obligations of the Lenders therein as a party thereto, including the provisions of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.14.

9.2. Proceeds. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, or an event set forth in Section 8 hereof which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, any proceeds, if and when collected by the Grantor, whether consisting of checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders, commercial paper of any kind whatsoever, or other instruments or documents, received in payment for any Collateral shall be promptly turned over to the Collateral Trustee by the Grantor in precisely the form received, except for its endorsement when required, and until so turned over, shall be deemed to be held in trust by the Grantor for and as the Collateral Trustee’s property and shall not be commingled with the Grantor’s other funds. Such proceeds, when turned over, shall continue to be security for all of the Series B Notes and shall be applied by the Collateral Trustee on account of the Series B Notes in the order and manner set forth in Section 9.4 hereof. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, or an event set forth in Section 8 hereof which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, the Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Trustee all original and other documents evidencing, or relating to, the Collateral.

9.3. Payments. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:

(i) All payments received by the Grantor under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of the Grantor and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Grantor be turned over to the Collateral Trustee, in the same form as received by the Grantor (duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, if required); and

(ii) any and all such payments so received by the Collateral Trustee (whether from the Grantor or otherwise) shall be applied by the Collateral Trustee against the Series B Notes in such order and manner as set forth in Section 9.4 hereof. Any balance of such payments held by the Collateral Trustee and remaining after application in full of all such amounts to the Series B Notes shall be held in trust for the account of and paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to received the same.

9.4. Foreclosure. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement and in any other instrument, document or

 

-16-


agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Series B Notes, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the Collateral Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Trustee’s offices or elsewhere at such price or prices as it may deem satisfactory, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and the Collateral Trustee may enter into any property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement, the Collateral Trustee may not take any action to foreclose or otherwise realize upon the Collateral or to take possession of the Collateral except in express accordance with the Subordination Agreement and Section 9.5 hereof. Prior to the disposition of any Collateral, the Collateral Trustee may store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent that the Collateral Trustee deems appropriate. The Collateral Trustee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold on behalf of the Lenders, and to offset the purchase price thereof against the Series B Notes or any portion thereof, and thereafter to hold the same, absolutely free and clear of any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waived and released. Upon any such sale, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waived and released, and any rights of stay or appraisal which the Grantor has or may have under any rule of law or statute how existing or hereafter adopted. Any such public or private sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as may be required by law, as the Collateral Trustee may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such private or public sale the Collateral may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Trustee may determine. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Trustee 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 such sale, and such sale may without further notice be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Trustee until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Collateral

 

-17-


Trustee shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Collateral Trustee, however, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interest granted pursuant to this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of court or courts of competent jurisdiction, the Grantor having been given notice of all such action. The Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at places that the Collateral Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The proceeds of any such collection, sale, enforcement or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement, shall be applied by the Collateral Trustee:

(i) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of every kind paid or incurred by the Collateral Trustee in connection with this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement or the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, including the costs and expenses of any collection, sale, enforcement or other realization, and the costs and expenses incidental to the care or safe-keeping of any or all of the Collateral until such costs and expenses shall be paid in full;

(ii) Second, application to payment of the Series B Notes (including any principal, interest, fees or expenses due under the terms of the Series B Notes) until all such Series B Notes shall be paid in full; and

(iii) Third, after the irrevocable payment in full of the amount referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii), the balance, if any, shall be paid over to such other Person or Persons as may be required by law.

To the extent permitted by law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Collateral Trustee arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. The Grantor agrees that the Collateral Trustee need not give more than ten business days’ prior notice (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed, postage prepaid, addressed to it at its address set forth in Section 11 hereof) of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Lenders are entitled, the Grantor also being liable for the fees of counsel employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect such deficiency.

9.5. Permission of Lenders. The Collateral Trustee may not foreclose, collect, receive, appropriate or realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or

 

-18-


contract to do so), or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of the Lenders holding at least 90% of the outstanding principal amount of the Series B Notes at such time. In addition, any action, consent, waiver, instruction, or other approval by the Lenders under this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement shall require the prior written consent of the Lenders holding at least 90% of the outstanding principal amount of the Series B Notes at such time.

9.6. Waivers of Notice. The Grantor waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the extent permitted by law) of any kind in connection with this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement or any Collateral.

9.7. No Liability of the Collateral Trustee and the Lenders. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Lenders shall incur any liability to the Grantor as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Trustee and the Lenders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Series B Notes even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree; provided, that the Collateral Trustee conducts any such sale in a commercially reasonable manner.

10. Limitation on Collateral Trustee’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Collateral Trustee shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Trustee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

The Collateral Trustee shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid as to the Collateral Trustee unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Trustee and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Collateral Trustee of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Trustee would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Collateral Trustee of any right, power or privilege hereunder, 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. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Collateral Trust

Each Lender may assign this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement and any assignee of any such Lender shall have such rights as if originally named herein in place of such Lender.

14. Governing Law. This Collateral Trust and Security Agreement, and all rights, obligations and liabilities arising hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

15. Severability. Any provision of this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

16. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Trustee and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

 

  (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any provision of any Series B Note;

 

  (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Series B Notes;

 

  (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Series B Notes; or

 

  (d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Grantor.

17. Further Indemnification. The Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold harmless the Collateral Trustee and the Lenders from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement.

18. Termination. When all the Series B Notes shall have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid, discharged and retired, this Collateral Trust and Security Agreement shall terminate, and the Collateral Trustee shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the Collateral and any money received in respect thereof, to or on the order, of the Grantor, and to execute such termination statements as required by the Grantor.

19. Counterparts. This Collateral Trust and Security Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and all of such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND SETOFF: CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS COLLATERAL TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE COLLATERAL OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS COLLATERAL TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM OR DISPUTE HOWSOEVER ARISING, BETWEEN GRANTOR ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE, ON THE OTHER HAND; AND GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY SETOFF OR COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LITIGATION, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OF SUCH SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FAILURE SO TO ASSERT ANY SUCH SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM WOULD PERMANENTLY PRECLUDE THE PROSECUTION OF OR RECOVERY UPON SAME.
