the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or
this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the
Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section 4.06 shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor
from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any
Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the
other Loan Documents.
SECTION 4.07. Assignment of Security Interest. If at any time any
Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or
any other person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor
shall promptly assign (to the extent permitted to do so) such security interest
to the Collateral Agent; provided that such Grantor shall make all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain consent to assign such property as security to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Such assignment need not be filed
of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the
security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor
or other person granting the security interest.
SECTION 4.08. Continuing Obligations of the Grantors. Each Grantor
shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to
be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument
relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and
all liability for such performance.
SECTION 4.09. Use and Disposition of Collateral. None of the Grantors
shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the
Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral, except as
expressly permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. None of the
Grantors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Collateral and each
Grantor shall remain at all times in possession of the Collateral owned by it,
except that (a) Inventory and Accounts Receivable may be sold in the ordinary
course of business and (b) unless and until the Collateral Agent shall notify
the Grantors that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
that during the continuance thereof the Grantors shall not sell, convey, lease,
assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Collateral (which notice may be
given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), the Grantors may use and
dispose of the Collateral in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that it
shall not permit any Inventory to be in the possession or control of any
warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor at any time unless such warehouseman,
bailee, agent or processor shall have been notified of the Security Interest and
such Grantor shall have taken all commercially reasonable steps necessary to
obtain the agreement from such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor in
writing to hold the Inventory subject to the Security Interest and the
instructions of the Collateral Agent and to waive and release any Lien held by
it with respect to such Inventory, whether arising by operation of law or
otherwise.
SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Modification of Accounts. None of the
Grantors will, without the Collateral Agent's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, grant any extension of the time of
payment of any of the Accounts Receivable, compromise, compound or settle the
same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any
person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever
thereon, other than extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements
granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its
current and past practices and in accordance with such commercially prudent and
11
standard practices used in industries that are the same as or similar to those
in which such Grantor is engaged.
SECTION 4.11. Insurance. The Grantors, at their own expense, shall
maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to
the Inventory and Equipment in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Credit
Agreement. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the
Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the
Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact)
for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making,
settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of
insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or
other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for
making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that
any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or main tain any of the
policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part
relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any
obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in
its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such
premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent
deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with
this Section 4.11, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses
and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the
Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby.
SECTION 4.12. Legend. Each Grantor shall legend, in form and manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, its Accounts Receivable and its
books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto with an
appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts Receivable have been
assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that
the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein. Collateral Agent shall
provide Grantors with its legending requirements in writing.
SECTION 4.13. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Collateral. (a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any of
its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent which is
material to the conduct of such Grantor's business may become invalidated or
dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to mark any products
covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient
to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.
(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its
sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor's
business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of
abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and
services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice
of Federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to
establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law and (iv) not
knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any
third party rights.
(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, for each
work covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce, display,
adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and
sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable
copyright laws.
(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent immediately if it
knows or has reason to know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to
the conduct of its business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the
public, or of any adverse determination or development (including the
institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or
any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor's ownership
of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to
12
keep and maintain the same.
(e) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright (or for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright) with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any
office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any
other country or any political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs
the Collateral Agent, and, upon request of the Collateral Agent, executes and
delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent's
security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and each Grantor
hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file
such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby
ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable.
(f) Each Grantor will take all commercially reasonable necessary steps
that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or
agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country
or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each material
application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain
the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each
registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of
any Grantor's business, including timely filings of applications for renewal,
affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance
fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition,
interference and cancelation proceedings against third parties.
(g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any
Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the
conduct of any Grantor's business has been or is about to be infringed,
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify
the Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment,
promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any
and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take
such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Collateral.
(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Grantor shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite
consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License
or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all of such Grantor's right,
title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

SECTION 5.01. Lockbox System. Terex shall maintain its existing
lock-box arrangements for the benefit of the Secured Parties with UMB Bank of
St. Louis, N.A. ("UMB") pursuant to the Lockbox Operating and Procedural
Agreement, dated as of April 7, 1997, among Terex, certain of its Subsidiaries,
UMB and BankBoston, N.A. (formerly The First National Bank of Boston), or at the
request of CSFB, shall enter into a substantially similar arrangement with CSFB
(any such arrangement the "Lockbox System").
SECTION 5.02. Power of Attorney. Each Grantor irrevocably makes,
constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or
agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful
agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity the Collateral Agent shall have
the right, with power of substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor's
13
name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes,

to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment
of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the

things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and
completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the
Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with
respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due
in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim
or offset in favor of any Grantor or to any claim or action against the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. It is understood and agreed that the
appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the
Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall in no event relieve any
Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on
the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to proceed in any particular manner
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the
exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other or further
right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether
hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise.
ARTICLE VI
Remedies
SECTION 6.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of
Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following
actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest
to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such
Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to license or
sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive
or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms
and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other
than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that
waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or
without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the
Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the
Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing
the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of
applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
14
Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the
Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be
authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that
they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any
such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and
deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from
any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal
which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors 10 days' written notice
(which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section
9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or
its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent's intention to
make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall
state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's
board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which
such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof,
will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale
shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such
place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any)
of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold
may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine
not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral
shall have been given. The Collateral Agent 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 sale, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers
thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such
purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold
and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like
notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made
pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to
the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or
appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived
and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof
offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then
due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the
purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of
sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability
to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase
the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the
Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement
and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion
thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral
Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have
been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising
the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by
a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the
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.
15
SECTION 6.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply
the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any
Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in its
capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in
connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with
this Agreement or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and
the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of
all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other
Loan Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses
incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts
so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in
accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date
of any such distribution); and
THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of
application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this
Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including
pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding),
the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold
and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the
application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent
or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
SECTION 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the
purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under
this Article at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, to the extent permitted to do so (and each
Grantor shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent to
license all Intellectual Property referred to below to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Section 6.03) each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of
royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sub-license
any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in
such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items
may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent
shall be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license,
sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, and
the execution and delivery to the Lenders of any notes evidencing such Loans,
regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and
shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.
SECTION 7.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf
of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent,
and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and
their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such
Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the

expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement
shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may
be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the
obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of

successors and assigns.
SECTION 7.06. Collateral Agent's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay upon demand to the

claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel
fees, other charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of
the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) any
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from
the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) Any amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions
of this Section 7.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under
this Section 7.06 shall be payable on written demand therefor and shall bear
interest at the rate specified in Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.07. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the
Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder
and of the Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent
to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle
such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to
which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent
required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF,
18
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.09.
SECTION 7.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the
validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which
when taken together shall constitute but one contract (subject to Section 7.04),

signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
