PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
Pursuant to that certain Master Recapitalization Agreement dated as of
March 29, 2001 (said agreement, as it may hereafter be amended or otherwise
modified from time to time, being the "Recapitalization Agreement"), the Senior
--------------------------
Secured Debt Purchasers agreed to loan $16,200,000 to the Grantor and the
Signatory Debtholders agreed to tender their Old Notes to the Grantor in
exchange for Exchange Notes and certain other consideration pursuant to the Debt
Exchange. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Recapitalization Agreement.
It was a condition precedent to the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement that the Grantor and WTC in its
capacity as Collateral Agent shall have entered into that certain Collateral
Agency and Security Agreement dated as of March 29, 2001 (the "Original Security
-----------------
Agreement") and that the Grantor shall have granted the assignments and security
- ---------
interests and made the pledges and assignments contemplated thereunder.
The obligations of the Grantor under the Senior Secured Debt and, from and
after the Debt Exchange Closing Date, the Exchange Notes were to be secured
pursuant to the Original Security Agreement.
The parties to the Recapitalization Agreement have agreed that from and
after the Convertible Subordinated Debt Placement Closing Date the Convertible
Subordinated Debt should be secured by the collateral described in the Original
Security Agreement and that the Original Security Agreement should be amended
and restated to so provide.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the
Convertible Subordinated Debt Purchasers to purchase the Convertible
Subordinated Debt, the
parties hereto hereby agree that the Original Security Agreement shall be
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
SECTION 1. Grant of Security. The Grantor hereby assigns and pledges
-----------------
to the Collateral Agent (i) for the benefit of the Senior Secured Debt
Purchasers and (ii) from and after the Debt Exchange Closing Date, for the
benefit of (x) the Senior Secured Debt Purchasers, the Subordinated Debt Trustee
as trustee for the Convertible Subordinated Debt Purchasers (to the extent the
Convertible Subordinated Debt is then outstanding) and the Senior Debt Trustee
as trustee for the holders of the Exchange Notes for so long as the Senior
Secured Debt is issued and outstanding and (y) from and after the payment in
full or exchange of the Senior Secured Debt, the Subordinated Debt Trustee as
trustee for the Convertible Subordinated Debt Purchasers (to the extent the
Convertible Subordinated Debt is then outstanding) and the Senior Debt Trustee
as trustee for the holders of the Exchange Notes, and hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of such Secured Parties a security interest in,
all of the Grantor's right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, in and to the following (collectively, the "Collateral"):
----------
(a) all of the following:
(i) the indebtedness (the "Pledged Debt") described on
------------
Schedule I and owing to the Grantor by the issuers named therein and
----------
the instruments evidencing the Pledged Debt, and all interest, cash,
instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable
or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all
of the Pledged Debt;
(ii) all additional indebtedness from time to time owed to the
Grantor by any obligor of the Pledged Debt or any other Person and the
instruments evidencing such indebtedness, and all interest, cash,
instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable
or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all
of such indebtedness; and
(iii) the shares of capital stock described on Schedule II
-----------
(the "Pledged Securities"), together with any other shares, stock
------------------
certificates, options or warrants of any issuer listed in Schedule II
-----------
that may be issued or granted to, or held by, the Grantor while this
Agreement is in effect; and
(b) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral.
The parties hereto have agreed, and by their execution hereof acknowledge, that
the Grantor may request that any or all of the instruments evidencing any
Pledged Debt be released from the lien of this Agreement upon the exchange
thereof for (i) another instrument evidencing indebtedness from Southern Pacific
Bank (which instrument shall, without any further action by any party hereto,
become Pledged Debt for all purposes hereof) or (ii) any shares of capital stock
of Southern Pacific Bank (which instrument shall, without any further action by
any party hereto, become Pledged Securities for all purposes hereof).
Similarly, the Grantor may request that any or all of the stock certificates
evidencing the Pledged Securities be released from the lien of this Agreement
upon the exchange thereof for (i) any shares of another class of capital stock
of
2
Southern Pacific Bank (which shares shall, without further action by any party
hereto, become Pledged Securities for all purposes hereof) or (ii) any
instrument evidencing indebtedness of Southern Pacific Bank (which shall,
without any further action by any party hereto, become Pledged Debt for all
purposes hereof). By their acceptance hereof, the Senior Secured Debt
Purchasers, the Senior Debt Trustee (acting solely pursuant to the authority
granted in Section 11.01 of the Exchange Notes Indenture), and the Subordinated
Debt Trustee (acting solely pursuant to the authority granted in Section 11.01
of the Subordinated Debt Indenture) authorize the Collateral Agent to release
from the security interest hereof any Pledged Debt or Pledged Securities held by
it hereunder upon the exchange of such Pledged Debt or Pledged Securities for
other indebtedness or capital stock of Southern Pacific Bank so long as such
indebtedness or stock is pledged to the Collateral Agent and is subject to the
security interests granted hereby for all purposes.
SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, and the
------------------------
Collateral is collateral security for, the prompt payment and performance in
full when due, whether on a specified payment date, at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise (including, without limitation, the payment of amounts
that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section
362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law) of all obligations of the
Grantor under (i) the Senior Secured Debt, and (ii) from and after the
Subordinated Debt Exchange Closing Date, (x) the Senior Secured Debt, the
Convertible Subordinated Debt (to the extent outstanding) and the Exchange Notes
for so long as the Senior Secured Debt is issued and outstanding and (y) from
and after the payment in full or exchange of the Senior Secured Debt, the
Exchange Notes and the Convertible Subordinated Debt (to the extent
outstanding), including interest (including, without limitation, interest that,
but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy would accrue on such obligations)
or any fees or other expenses related thereto (any and all such obligations
being the "Secured Obligations").

benefit thereof pursuant to the terms hereof and shall be in suitable form for
transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of
transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the
Secured Parties entitled to the benefit thereof pursuant to the terms hereof.
The Collateral Agent shall have the right after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 6(a)(v)) beyond any

SECTION 9.
(a) Appointment and Authorization of Collateral Agent. By
-------------------------------------------------
acceptance of the Senior Secured Debt or execution and delivery of the
Exchange Notes Indenture or the Subordinated Debt Indenture, as the case
may be, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints WTC
as the Collateral Agent of such Secured Party under this Agreement and each
Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute
this Agreement and (i) to take action on its behalf and exercise such
powers and use such discretion as are expressly permitted hereunder and all
instruments relating hereto and thereto and (ii) to exercise such powers
and perform such duties as are, in each case, expressly delegated to the
Collateral Agent by terms hereof and thereof together with such other
powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement,
the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth herein or therein or any fiduciary relationship
with any Secured Party and no
6
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against
the Collateral Agent.
(b) Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may exercise its
--------------------
powers and execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through
employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to take and to
rely on advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such powers
and duties. The Collateral Agent may use the services of such persons as
the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion may determine and all
reasonable fees and expenses of such persons shall be borne by the Grantor.
(c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any
----------------------
of its officers, partners, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or
any Collateral (except for its or such person's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the
Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties
made by the Grantor or any officer thereof contained in, or made or deemed
to be made in connection with, any Senior Secured Debt, Convertible
Subordinated Debt, Exchange Notes, or this Agreement or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or
received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any Senior Secured Debt, Convertible Subordinated Debt or
Exchange Notes, or for the due execution, legality, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Senior
Secured Debt, Convertible Subordinated Debt, Exchange Notes or this
Agreement or any other document or instrument furnished pursuant thereto or
for any failure of the Grantor to perform its obligations thereunder. The
Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to the Secured Parties to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, statements made in, or conditions of the Senior
Secured Debt, Convertible Subordinated Debt, Exchange Notes or this
Agreement or to inspect the property, including the books and records, of
the Grantor.
(d) Reliance by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall
--------------------------------
be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected and shall incur no
liability in acting and relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document or telephone conversation
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, including without limitation counsel to the
Grantor, independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Collateral Agent may treat the payee of any Senior Secured Debt,
Convertible Subordinated Debt or Exchange Note as the registered holder
thereof until it receives notice or otherwise has actual knowledge that
such payee is no longer the registered holder of such Senior Secured Debt
or Exchange Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take action under this Agreement, including without limitation
the exercise of any rights or remedies under, or the entering into of any
agreement amending, modifying, supplementing, waiving any provision of, or
the giving of consent pursuant
7
to, any provision of this Agreement, unless it shall first receive
instructions of the Required Noteholders (as defined below) as contemplated
by Section 10 hereof and it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable
----------
satisfaction by the Senior Secured Debt Purchasers, the holders of the
Exchange Notes and/or the Convertible Subordinated Debt Purchasers against
any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of
taking, continuing to take or refraining from taking any such action. For
the purpose hereof, the "Required Noteholders" shall mean, at any time,
--------------------
the holders of at least 51% of the outstanding principal amount of all
Senior Secured Debt, until such time as no Senior Secured Debt shall be
outstanding, at which time "Required Noteholders" shall mean the Senior
Debt Trustee acting at the direction of the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Exchange Notes as provided in
Section 6.05 of the Exchange Notes Indenture, until such time as no
Exchange Notes shall be outstanding, at which time "Required Noteholders"
shall mean the Subordinated Debt Trustee acting at the direction of the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Convertible Subordinated Notes as provided in Section 6.05 of the
Subordinated Debt Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall in all such cases
be fully protected in acting or in refraining from acting under this
Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(e) hereof and in
-------------
accordance with written instructions and any action taken or any failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Secured Parties and all
other holders from time to time of the Senior Secured Debt and Exchange
Notes.
(e) Knowledge or Notice of Default and Event of Default. The
---------------------------------------------------
Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct
or indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent has received written
notice from a Secured Party or the Grantor describing such Default (as
defined below) or Event of Default, setting forth in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances thereof and stating that the Collateral Agent may
rely on such notice without further inquiry. The Collateral Agent shall
have no obligation or duty prior to or after receiving any such notice to
inquire whether a Default or Event of Default has in fact occurred and
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on
any such notice furnished to it. For the purpose hereof, "Default" means
(A) prior to the Debt Exchange Closing Date, a Default as defined in the
Senior Secured Debt, (B) from and after the Debt Exchange Closing Date and
so long as any Senior Secured Debt shall remain outstanding, a Default as
defined in the Exchange Notes Indenture or the Senior Secured Notes, (C)
after the Senior Secured Debt has been paid in full, a Default as defined
in the Exchange Notes Indenture and (D) after the Exchange Notes have been
paid in full, a Default as defined in the Subordinated Debt Indenture.
(f) Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Secured Parties. By
----------------------------------------------------------
acceptance of the Senior Secured Debt or execution and delivery of the
Exchange Notes Indenture or the Subordinated Debt Indenture, as the case
may be, each Secured Party expressly acknowledges that, except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the
Collateral Agent's partners, officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties
to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including
any review of the affairs of the Grantor, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any Secured Party.
Except for notices, reports and
8
other documents expressly required to be furnished by the Collateral Agent
hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility
to provide the Secured Parties with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and credit-worthiness of the Grantor that may come into the
possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its partners, officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
(g) Indemnification. The Grantor agrees to indemnify WTC from and
---------------
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever that may at any time, including, without limitation, at any time
following the payment of the Secured Obligations, be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of its capacity as Collateral Agent or the Recapitalization
Agreement or the Related Agreements or actions or omissions of the
Collateral Agent specifically required or permitted by this Agreement or by
written instructions of the Required Noteholders pursuant to Section 10(c)
-------------
hereof, including without limitation, costs incurred in performance of its
duties under Section 9(a), provided that the Grantor shall not be liable
------------
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting solely from the Collateral Agent's gross negligence
of willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9(g) shall survive
-----------
the payment of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.
(h) Collateral Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Collateral
-------------------------------------------
Agent and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with
the Grantor as though such person was not the Collateral Agent hereunder
and without any duty to account therefore to the Secured Parties.
(i) Successor Collateral Agent.
--------------------------
(i) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon 60 days
notice to the Secured Parties and Grantor and may be removed at any
time, with or without cause, by the Required Noteholders by written
notice delivered to the Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties. After any resignation or removal hereunder of the Collateral
Agent, the provisions of this Section 9(i) shall continue to inure to
------------
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in
connection with its agency hereunder while it was the Collateral Agent
under this Agreement and it shall be entitled to be paid promptly when
due any amounts owing to it pursuant to Section 9.6.
-----------
(ii) Upon receiving notice of any such resignation or removal,
a successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Required
Noteholders, provided, however, that such successor Collateral Agent
shall be (A) a Person having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50 million and (B) authorized under bylaw to assume the
functions of the Collateral Agent. If the appointment of such
successor shall not have become effective, as provided below, within
such 60-day period after the Collateral Agent's resignation or upon
removal of the
9
Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent may petition a court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Collateral Agent. Such
court shall, after such notice as it may deem proper, appoint a
successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications specified in
this Section 9(i)(ii).
----------------
(iii) The resignation or removal of a Collateral Agent shall
become effective upon the execution and delivery of such documents or
instruments as are necessary to transfer the rights and obligations of
the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, including without
limitation, the delivery and recordation of all amendments,
instruments, financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents necessary to maintain the perfection of the security
interests held by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Copies of
each such document or instrument shall be delivered to all Secured
Parties. The appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to
this Section 9(i) shall become effective upon the acceptance of the
------------
appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral
Agent. Upon such effective appointment, the successor Collateral Agent
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the
retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its rights, powers,
privileges and duties under this Agreement, but shall remain liable
for its actions prior to and including such date of discharge.
SECTION 10. Actions by the Collateral Agent.
-------------------------------
(a) Duties and Obligations. The duties and obligations of the
----------------------
Collateral Agent are only those set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Notification of Default. If the Collateral Agent has been
-----------------------
notified in a writing conforming to the requirements of Sections 9 (d) and
--------------
(e) by any Secured Party or Grantor that a Default or an Event of Default
---
has occurred, the Collateral Agent shall promptly furnish, and in any event
no later than three Business Days after receipt of such notice, to the
Secured Parties a copy of such written notice (a "Default Notice"). The
--------------
failure of any Secured Party having knowledge of the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default to notify the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party of such occurrence, however, does not constitute a waiver of
such Default or Event of Default by the Secured Parties. If the Required
Noteholders have not given prior instructions to the Collateral Agent, the
Default Notice may contain a recommendation of actions to be taken by the
Secured Parties and/or request instructions from the Secured Parties and
shall specify the date on which responses are due in order to be timely
within Section 10(d) hereof. If the Required Noteholders have given
-------------
prior instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall take
the actions requested by the Required Noteholders and the Default Notice
shall inform the other Secured Parties of such actions.
(c) Exercise of Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in Section
--------------------
10(e) and Section 21, the Collateral Agent shall take only such actions
----- ----------
and exercise only such remedies under this Agreement as are approved in
written instructions delivered to the Collateral Agent and signed by the
Required Noteholders. If the Collateral Agent shall
10
determine in good faith that taking the actions specified in such
instructions is contrary to law, it may refrain, and shall be fully
protected in so refraining, from taking such action and shall immediately
give notice of such fact to each of the Secured Parties. If instructions
received by the Collateral Agent are in its good faith judgment ambiguous
or conflict with other instructions received by the Collateral Agent, the
Collateral Agent (a) shall promptly notify the Secured Parties of such
ambiguity or conflict and request clarifying instructions, and (b) may
either (1) delay in taking any such action or exercising any such remedy
pending receipt of such clarifying instructions, and shall be fully
protected in so delaying, or (2) take such actions as it is entitled under
Section 10(e).
-------------
(d) Instructions from Senior Secured Debt Purchasers. If any
------------------------------------------------
Senior Secured Debt Purchaser does not respond in a timely manner to any
notice, including without limitation a Default Notice, from the Collateral
Agent or request for instructions within the time period specified by the
Collateral Agent in such notice or request for instructions, which shall be
a minimum of five Business Days, the Senior Secured Debt held by such
Senior Secured Debt Purchaser that would otherwise be included in a
determination of Required Noteholders shall not be included in the
determination of Required Noteholders for purposes of such notice or
request for instructions. Any action taken or not taken without the vote of
a Senior Secured Debt Purchaser under this Section 10(d) shall nevertheless
-------------
be binding on such Senior Secured Debt Purchaser.
(e) Emergency Actions. If the Collateral Agent has asked the
-----------------
Secured Parties for instructions and if the Required Noteholders have not
yet responded to such request, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to
take, but shall not be required to take and shall in no event have any
liability for the taking or the failure to take, such actions, other than
any action described or permitted under Section 21 hereof, with regard to a
----------
Default or Event of Default that the Collateral Agent, in good faith,
believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the interests of
the Secured Parties and to maximize both the value of the Collateral and
the present value of the recovery by the Secured Parties on the Secured
Obligations and shall give the Secured Parties appropriate notice of such
action, provided that once instructions with respect to such request have
been received by the Collateral Agent from the Required Noteholders, the
actions of the Collateral Agent shall be governed thereby and the
Collateral Agent shall not take any further action that would be contrary
thereto.
(f) Other Actions. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to
-------------
take such actions, or omit to take such actions, hereunder and not
inconsistent with the written instructions of the Required Noteholders
delivered pursuant to Section 10(c) hereof, including actions the
-------------
Collateral Agent deems necessary or appropriate to perfect or continue the
perfection of the liens on the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured
Parties. Except as otherwise provided by the applicable law, the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, the perfection, protection
or maintenance of any pledge, assignment or security interest in the
Collateral, the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income
thereon, including any duty to ascertain or take action with respect to
calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters
relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is
deemed to have knowledge of such matters, nor as to the
11
preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of
rights pertaining to the Collateral beyond the safe custody of any
Collateral in the Collateral Agent's actual possession.
(g) Cooperation. To the extent that the exercise of the rights,
-----------
powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent in accordance with this
Agreement requires that any action be taken by any Secured Party, by
acceptance of the Senior Secured Debt or the Exchange Notes, as the case
may be, such Secured Party agrees to take such action and cooperate with
the Collateral Agent to ensure that the rights, powers and remedies of all
Noteholders are exercised in full.
(h) Distribution of Proceeds. All amounts owing with respect to
------------------------
the Secured Obligations shall be secured by the Collateral without
distinction as to whether some Secured Obligations are then due and payable
and other Secured Obligations are not then due and payable. Upon any
realization upon the Collateral, by acceptance of the Senior Secured Debt
or execution and delivery of the Exchange Notes Indenture or the
Subordinated Debt Indenture, as the case may be, the Secured Parties agree
that the proceeds thereof shall be applied, (i) first, to the amounts owing
by the Grantor to the Collateral Agent solely in its capacity as Collateral
Agent hereunder pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) second, ratably to the
payment of all amounts of interest outstanding on the Senior Secured Debt
according to the aggregate amounts of such interest then owing to each
Senior Secured Debt Purchaser, (iii) third, ratably to all amounts of
principal outstanding under the Senior Secured Debt according to the
aggregate amounts of such principal then owing to each Senior Secured Debt
Purchaser, (iv) fourth, ratably to all other amounts then due to the Senior
Secured Debt Purchasers, including fees and expenses, (v) fifth, to all
fees and out-of-pocket expenses owed to the Senior Debt Trustee and
Subordinated Debt Trustee under the Exchange Note Indenture and the
Subordinated Debt Indenture, as the case may be, (vi) sixth, ratably to the
payment of all amounts of interest outstanding on the Exchange Notes
according to the aggregate amounts of such interest then owing to each
holder thereof, (vii) seventh, ratably to all amounts of principal
outstanding under the Exchange Notes according to the aggregate amounts of
principal then owing to each holder thereof, (viii) eighth, ratably to all
other amounts then due to the holders of the Exchange Notes, including fees
and expenses, (ix) ninth, ratably to the payment of all amounts of interest
outstanding on the Convertible Subordinated Debt according to the aggregate
amounts of interest then owing to each Convertible Subordinated Debt
Purchaser, (x) tenth, ratably to all amounts of principal outstanding under
the Convertible Subordinated Debt according to the aggregate amounts of
principal then owing to each Convertible Subordinated Debt Purchaser, (xi)
eleventh, ratably to all other amounts then due to the Convertible
Subordinated Debt Purchasers, including fees and expenses and (xii)
twelfth, the balance, if any, shall be returned to the Grantor or such
other Persons as are entitled thereto. Upon the request of the Collateral
Agent prior to any distribution under this Section 10(h), each Secured
-------------
Party shall provide to the Collateral Agent certificates, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, setting forth
the respective amounts referred to in clauses (ii) through (xi) above that
each such Secured Party believes it is entitled to receive, together with
such wire transfer information or other payment instructions as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request.
12
(i) Authorized Investments. Prior to any realization upon the
----------------------
Collateral, any and all funds held by the Collateral Agent in its capacity
as Collateral Agent, whether pursuant to any provision of this Agreement
shall, to the extent feasible, within a reasonable time, be invested by the
Collateral Agent in Permitted Investments (as defined on Schedule IV).
Prior to making such investment or to the extent it is not feasible to
invest such funds in Permitted Investments, the Collateral Agent shall hold
any such funds in an interest bearing account. By acceptance of the Senior
Secured Debt or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, each Secured Party
authorizes the Collateral Agent to open such an account. Any interest
earned on such funds shall be retained in such account until there shall be
a realization on the Collateral, at which time such funds shall be
disbursed to the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 10(h). The
-------------
Collateral Agent shall have no duty to place funds held and invested
pursuant to this Section 10(i) in investments that provide for a maximum
-------------
return. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any loss of any
funds invested in accordance with this Section 10(i).
-------------

Subordinated Debt Trustee, on behalf of the holders of the Convertible
Subordinated Debt agree not to accept, any payment of principal or interest
until all amounts owing in respect of the Exchange Notes shall have been paid in
full; and from and after the happening of any event described in clause (iii) of
this subsection (b) of Section 11, all payments and distributions of any kind
----------

right, in its absolute discretion, (i) to make all decisions on the

collateral or refraining from foreclosing), notwithstanding that any or all
of the Grantor's obligations to the holders of the Junior Rights (as

-------------- -----
and owing or the Grantor may be in default in any other manner with regard

SECTION 13. Agreement Available Only to Parties and Collateral Agent.
--------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto have entered
into this
15
Agreement solely for their own benefit and in order to establish solely with
respect to each other and not with respect to the Grantor their respective
rights to payment of the Secured Obligations, their respective rights to the
proceeds of the Collateral and their respective rights and priorities with
respect to certain other matters, all as more fully set forth herein. No person
or entity other than the parties hereto shall have any rights, whether as third
party beneficiary or otherwise, under this Agreement, and no agreement,
statement or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be an admission by
or against any of the parties hereto or be used by any person or entity, except
the parties hereto, for any purpose whatsoever.
SECTION 14. Rights Unaffected. The relative rights of the parties
-----------------
herein in and to the Collateral set out in this Agreement shall be unaffected by
any consent or waiver with respect to, or renewal or extension of, the Secured
Obligations.
SECTION 15. Collateral Agent's Fees, Costs and Expenses. Grantor agrees

--------
continuing beyond any grace period applicable thereto:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral,
in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it under applicable law, all the rights and remedies
of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether
or not the Uniform Commercial Code applies to the affected Collateral) and
also may (i) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it
shall at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith,
assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent
and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated
by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and
(ii) without notice, except as specified below, advertisement, hearing or
process of law of any kind, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one
or more parcels free and clear of all rights and claims of the Grantor at
public or private sale, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and
upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially
reasonable. The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by law, at least 10 Business Days' notice to the Grantor of the
time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
(b) All cash proceeds received in respect of any sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may be

Secured Obligations. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds remaining
after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be promptly paid

limitation or restriction in connection with any sale of Collateral as it

necessary in order to (i) avoid any violation of applicable law (including,
without limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the
number of prospective bidders and purchasers and/or further restrict such
prospective bidders or purchasers to persons or entities who will represent
and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and
not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral) or (ii)
obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchase by any
governmental regulatory authority or official.
SECTION 17. Establishing Required Noteholders. In order to establish what
---------------------------------
constitutes the Required Noteholders, the Collateral Agent may request from time
to time, and, by acceptance of the Senior Secured Debt, the Senior Secured Debt
Purchasers agree to provide, certificates setting forth the amount of the Senior
Secured Debt held or represented by each Senior Secured Debt Purchaser, which
certificates the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on.
SECTION 18. Amendments: Waivers; Etc. No amendment or waiver of any
------------------------
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Grantor
herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing

consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.
SECTION 19. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications
---------------------
provided to the parties hereto shall be in writing or by facsimile and

its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies
of the Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and
their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns.

-----------
full, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the
Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the
terms hereof shall revert to the Grantor. Upon the termination of any such
security interest, the Collateral Agent shall promptly return to the Grantor,
upon the Grantor's request and at the Grantor's expense, such of the Collateral
(and, in the case of a release, such of the released Collateral) held by the
Collateral Agent as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to
the terms hereof. The Collateral Agent will, at the Grantor's expense, execute
and deliver to the Grantor such other documents as the Grantor shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination or release, as the case may be.
17
SECTION 22. Governing Law; Terms. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
--------------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE

governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Recapitalization Agreement, terms used
in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code are used herein as therein defined.

--------------------------

unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
