recorded in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement). (d) No written claim
has been received that any Collateral or any Debtor’s use of
any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There

ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in
any jurisdiction or to any Debtor’s right to keep and

any court, governmental body or arbitrator or any applicable law,
rule or regulation applicable to any Debtor or (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to
others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of,
any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument
(evidencing any Debtor’s debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which any Debtor is a party or by which any
property or asset of any Debtor is bound or affected. If any, all
required consents (including, without limitation, from stockholders
or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any Debtor to enter into
and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.

equity interests listed on Schedule H hereto (the "

stock and other equity interests owned, directly or indirectly, by
the Company. All of the Pledged Securities are validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company is the legal and
beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities, free and clear of any
lien, security interest or other encumbrance except for the
security interests created by this Agreement and other Permitted
Liens (as defined in the Debentures).
(j) The ownership and other equity
interests in partnerships and limited liability companies (if any)
included in the Collateral (the " Pledged Interests ") by
their express terms do not provide that they are securities
governed by Article 8 of the UCC and are not held in a
securities account or by any financial intermediary.
(k) Except for Permitted Liens (as
defined in the Debentures), each Debtor shall at all times maintain
the liens and Security Interests provided for hereunder as valid
and perfected liens and security interests in the Collateral in

Interest hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 14
hereof. Each Debtor hereby agrees to defend the same against the
claims of any and all persons and entities. Each Debtor shall
safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured
Parties. At the request of the Agent, each Debtor will sign and
deliver to the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at any time
or from time to time one or more financing statements pursuant to
the UCC in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and will pay
the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing
is, or is deemed by the Agent to be, necessary or desirable to
effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor shall pay all
fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral
and the Security Interests hereunder, and each Debtor shall obtain
and furnish to the Agent from time to time, upon demand, such
releases
and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be required
to maintain the priority of the Security Interests hereunder.
(l) No Debtor will transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, encumber, license, sell or otherwise dispose of any of
the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by a
Debtor in its ordinary course of business and sales of inventory by
a Debtor in its ordinary course of business) without the prior
written consent of a Majority in Interest.

preserve its equipment, inventory and other tangible Collateral in
good condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate
any such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in any
area excluded from insurance coverage.

financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to
the Collateral, including Collateral hereafter acquired, against
loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured
against by entities of established reputation having similar

customarily carried under similar circumstances by other such
entities and otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in
similar businesses but in any event sufficient to cover the full
replacement cost thereof. Each Debtor shall cause each insurance
policy issued in connection herewith to provide, and the insurer
issuing such policy to certify to the Agent, that (a) the
Agent will be named as lender loss payee and additional insured
under each such insurance policy; (b) if such insurance be
proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for any reason
whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify the Agent and such

at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Agent of such
notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase
coverage under the policy; and (c) the Agent will have the
right (but no obligation) at its election to remedy any default in
the payment of premiums within thirty (30) days of notice from
the insurer of such default. If no Event of Default (as defined in
the Debentures) exists and if the proceeds arising out of any claim
or series of related claims do not exceed $100,000, loss payments
in each instance will be applied by the applicable Debtor to the
repair and/or replacement of property with respect to which the
loss was incurred to the extent reasonably feasible, and any loss
payments or the balance thereof remaining, to the extent not so
applied, shall be payable to the applicable Debtor; provided

to the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and, if received by
such Debtor, shall be held in trust for the Secured Parties and
immediately paid over to the Agent unless otherwise directed in
writing by the Agent. Copies of such policies or the related
certificates, in each case, naming the Agent as lender loss payee
and additional insured shall be delivered to the Agent at least
annually and at the time any new policy of insurance is issued.

(10) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the Secured

or on the Secured Parties’ security interest, through the
Agent, therein. (p) Each Debtor shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Agent such further deeds,
mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements
