hereby (i) agrees to cause to be
assigned, transferred and delivered to the Borrower collateral
under the Loan Documents held by the Lender under the Loan
Documents, (ii) agrees to execute and deliver to the Borrower
such instruments of satisfaction and other documents as shall be
reasonably requested by the Borrower to terminate of record such

Agreement and the Security Agreement, in the Collateral (as
hereinafter defined), which security interests shall continue until
payment in full of all amounts outstanding under said Loans and the
other Obligations. If this Agreement is executed below by a
guarantor or guarantors (collectively the
“Guarantors”), then the full and punctual payment and
performance of the Loans and all other Obligations of Borrower
shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to one or more
guaranty agreements (collectively the “Guaranty”). The
term “Collateral” as used herein shall be deemed to
include all property and assets of the Borrower and Guarantors
secured, mortgaged, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or
covered by any of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited
to, the Security Agreement. The Borrower and the Guarantor covenant
and agree to take such further actions and to execute such
additional documents as may be reasonably necessary from time to
time to enable the Lender to obtain and maintain the security
interests and liens arising under the Loan Documents. If the
Collateral includes accounts and account receivables of Borrower,
then, in addition to such other rights and remedies as are provided
the Lender under the Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees that
Lender may communicate with account debtors in order to verify the
existence, amount and terms of any such accounts and account
receivables. Lender may notify account debtors of the
Lender’s security interest and require that payments on
accounts and account receivables be made directly to Lender, and
upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall notify account debtors
and indicate on all billings that payments and returns are to be
made directly to Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as attorney with full power to
collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the
Borrower’s accounts and account receivables or proceeds
thereof and to perform the terms of any contract in order to create
accounts and account receivables in Lender’s name or in the
name of Borrower.
VI. SUBORDINATION AND STANDBY OF
DEBT. The Borrower and Guarantors covenant and agree that all
existing debt of Borrower to Guarantors and all future debt, if
permitted hereunder from Borrower to Guarantors, shall be and
hereby is, without need for further writing, made subject and
subordinate to the prior payment and performance of all the Loans
and other Obligations of Borrower. The Guarantors further covenant
and agree that any claims against the Borrower (or against each
other or any other guarantor of the Loans), individually or
jointly, to which the Guarantors may become entitled (including,
without limitation, claims by subrogation or otherwise by reason of
any payment or performance by the Guarantors, individually or
jointly, in satisfaction and discharge, in whole or in part, of his
or their obligations under the Guaranty) shall be and hereby are,
without need for further writing, subject and subordinate to the
payment and performance in full of all of the Loans and other
Obligations due the Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, the
Borrower and Guarantors shall provide such subordinations,
certificates and other documents and shall mark its corporate
books, records, stock certificates and ledgers as the Lender may
reasonably request from time to time, in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender and Lender’s counsel, evidencing the
subordination of all debt of Borrower to Guarantors, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, in accordance with the covenants of
Borrower and Guarantors hereunder.

so long as any of the Obligations are outstanding:
A. Good Standing .
Borrower, if other than a natural person, is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware. Borrower has the power to own its properties and to
carry on its business as now being conducted.
B. Authority .
Borrower and Guarantors have full power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and to borrow under the Loan Documents, to execute
and deliver the Loan Documents and to incur the obligations
provided for herein and in the Loan Documents, all of which have
been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate or other
action. The persons executing the Loan Documents on behalf of the
Borrower and the Guarantors have been duly authorized to do
so.
C. Binding Agreement .
This Agreement and the Loan Documents constitute the valid and
legally binding obligations of the Borrower and Guarantors,
enforceable in accordance with their terms.
D. Litigation . There
are no suits or proceedings of any kind or nature pending or, to
the knowledge of the Borrower and Guarantors, threatened against or
affecting the Borrower or the Guarantors or their assets which, if
adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or business of the Borrower or the Guarantors
and which have not been disclosed in writing to the
Lender.
E. Conflicting Agreements;
Consents . There is no charter, bylaw or preference stock of
the Borrower or the Guarantors and no provision(s) of any existing
mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement binding on the Borrower
or the Guarantors or affecting their property, which would conflict
with, have a material adverse effect upon, or in any way prevent
the execution, delivery or performance of the terms of this
Agreement or the Loan Documents. Neither the Borrower nor the
Guarantors is required to obtain any order, consent, approval,

. The financial statements delivered to the Lender by the Borrower
and the Guarantors have been and shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied, are and will be complete and correct, and fairly present

Guarantors. Other than those liabilities disclosed in writing to
the Lender, there are no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or
contingent, of the Borrower or the Guarantors which are not
reflected in the financial statements or in the notes thereto which
would be required to be disclosed therein and there has been no
material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of

or written agreement or commitment relating to employment or fringe
benefits or prerequisites for employees, officers or directors of
the Borrower (an “Employee Benefit Plan”), and no

Waste has been, is being, is intended to be or is threatened to be
spilled, released, discharged, disposed, placed or otherwise caused
to be found in the soil or water in, under or upon the Premises.
The Borrower and the Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold the
Lender harmless from and against any claims, damages, liabilities
(whether joint or several), losses and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the
Lender as a result of the breach of these representations. For the
purpose of this Agreement, the term “Hazardous Waste”

material”, “hazardous substance” and
“oil” as presently defined in the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, the Hazardous Material
Transportation Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and
corresponding state and local statutes, ordinances and regulations,
