Virgin Islands corporation and wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent Guarantor
("FSC," and together with Akashic Memories Corporation ("Akashic"), a California

herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. Unless
otherwise defined herein or in the Credit Agreement, terms used in Division 9 of
the California Uniform Commercial Code (as in effect from time to time) are used
herein as therein defined.
F. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement,

absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed
with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and
later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations
or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is
avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Agent or a Bank as a
preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise (all such obligations and
liabilities being the "Underlying Debt"), and all obligations of every nature of
Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, the
Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document (all such obligations, together

necessary to perfect and continue perfected Agent's security interests;
(c) not relocate its chief place of business, chief executive office
or residence to a new location without thirty (30) days' prior written

and also provides to Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect to such
new location in form and substance satisfactory to Agent;
(d) if Agent gives value to enable Subsidiary Guarantor to acquire
rights in or the use of any Collateral (as specified in writing by Agent to
Subsidiary Guarantor at the time of the giving of such value), use such value

SECTION 7. Special Covenants With Respect to Equipment and Inventory.
Subsidiary Guarantor shall:
(a) keep the Equipment and Inventory (other than Equipment
consisting of laptop computers and other than Inventory sold in the ordinary
course of business) at the places specified on Schedule I annexed hereto and to
the extent permitted by subsection (e) of this Section 7 or, upon thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to Agent, at such other places in jurisdictions where
all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent may request, in
order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be
granted hereby, or to enable Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder, with respect to such Equipment and Inventory shall have been
taken;
(b) maintain the Equipment or cause the Equipment to be maintained
in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted),
and in accordance with any manufacturer's manual, and make all necessary
replacements thereto so that the value and operating efficiency thereof shall at
all times be preserved, and shall forthwith, or, in the case of any loss or
damage to any of the Equipment when subsection (c) of Section 8 is not
applicable, as quickly as practicable after the occurrence thereof, make or
cause to be made all repairs, replacements and other improvements in connection
therewith that are necessary or desirable to such end. Subsidiary Guarantor
shall promptly furnish to Agent a statement respecting any material loss or
damage to any of the Equipment. Subsidiary Guarantor shall not permit any item
of Equipment to become a fixture to real estate or an accession to other
property, and the Equipment is now and shall at all times remain personal
property;
(c) keep correct and accurate records of the Inventory, in
accordance with good business practices, including itemizing Subsidiary
Guarantor's cost therefor and (where applicable) the current list prices for the
Inventory;
(d) upon Agent's request, deliver to Agent, properly endorsed, any
and all evidences of ownership of, certificates of title, or applications for
title of any items of Equipment;
(e) not, at any time now or hereafter, store any of the Equipment or
Inventory with a bailee, warehouseman, or similar party without Agent's prior
written consent. The Agent and Subsidiary Guarantor hereby consent to the
transfer of up to $1,000,000 in book value of Inventory and up to $1,000,000 of
OLV of Equipment (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to a warehouse
selected by Subsidiary Guarantor located in California, Singapore or Malaysia;
provided, however, that Subsidiary Guarantor shall provide twenty (20) days'
prior written notification thereof to the Agent and, at such time, provide
financing statements or fixture filings (or foreign equivalents) necessary to
perfect the Agent's Liens; and
(f) if any Inventory is in possession or control of any of
Subsidiary Guarantor's agents or processors, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, instruct such agent or processor to hold all such Inventory for the
account of Agent and subject to the instructions of Agent.
SECTION 8. Insurance.
6
7
(a) Subsidiary Guarantor shall, at its own expense, maintain
insurance with respect to the Equipment and Inventory in which it has an
interest in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such
insurers as is customary for similarly situated businesses. Such insurance shall
include, without limitation, property damage insurance and liability insurance.
Each policy for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses to be
paid directly to Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. Each
policy shall in addition name Subsidiary Guarantor and Agent as insured parties
thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon Agent)
as their interests may appear and have attached thereto a loss payable clause
acceptable to Agent that shall (i) contain an agreement by the insurer that any
loss thereunder shall be payable to Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor
Agreement notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or
warranty by Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) provide that there shall be no recourse
against Agent for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto, and
(iii) provide that at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of
cancellation, material amendment, reduction in scope or limits of coverage or of
lapse shall be given to Agent by the insurer. Subsidiary Guarantor shall, if so
requested by Agent, deliver to Agent original or duplicate policies of such
insurance and, as often as Agent may reasonably request (but no more frequently
than once per year, unless there is a change in the policy or the insurer), a
report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further,
and in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, Subsidiary Guarantor shall,
at the request of Agent, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of
such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 5(a) and
cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(b) Payments for claims issued by any liability insurance maintained
by Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Section 8 may be paid directly to the
Person who shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of
any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of this
Section 8 is not applicable, Subsidiary Guarantor shall make or cause to be made
the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any
proceeds of insurance maintained by Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this
Section 8 shall be paid to Subsidiary Guarantor as reimbursement for the costs
of such repairs or replacements.
(c) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event
of Default or (ii) the actual or constructive loss (in excess of $100,000 per
occurrence) of any Equipment or Inventory, all insurance payments in respect of
such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to and applied by Agent as specified
in Section 18.
SECTION 9. Special Covenants with respect to Accounts and Related
Contracts.
(a) Subsidiary Guarantor shall keep its chief place of business and
chief executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the
Accounts and Related Contracts at the location specified in Section 4 or, upon
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Agent, at such other location in a
jurisdiction where all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent
may request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby, or to enable Agent to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder, with respect to such Accounts and Related
Contracts shall have been taken. Subsidiary Guarantor will hold and preserve
such records and, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, will permit
representatives of Agent during normal business hours to inspect and make
abstracts from such records, and Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to render to Agent,
at Subsidiary Guarantor's cost and expense, such
7
8
clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard
thereto. Promptly upon the request of Agent, Subsidiary Guarantor shall deliver
to Agent complete and correct copies of each Related Contract.
(b) Subsidiary Guarantor shall, for not less than three (3) years
from the date on which such Account arose, maintain (i) complete records of each
Account, including records of all payments received, credits granted and
merchandise returned, and (ii) all material documentation relating thereto.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), Subsidiary
Guarantor shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to
become due Subsidiary Guarantor under the Accounts and Related Contracts. In
connection with such collections, Subsidiary Guarantor may take such action as
Subsidiary Guarantor or Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection of amounts due or to become due under the Accounts; provided,
however, that Agent shall have the right, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, and upon written notice to Subsidiary Guarantor of its
intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts
of the assignment of such Accounts to Agent, and to direct such account debtors
or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Subsidiary
Guarantor thereunder directly to Agent, to notify each person maintaining a
lockbox or similar arrangement to which account debtors or obligors under any
Accounts have been directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing
collections on checks and other payment items from time to time sent to or
deposited in such lock box or other arrangement directly to Agent and, upon such
notification and at the expense of Subsidiary Guarantor, to enforce collection
of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Subsidiary Guarantor might
have done. After receipt by Subsidiary Guarantor of the notice from Agent
referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Subsidiary
Guarantor in respect of the Accounts and the Related Contracts shall be received
in trust for the benefit of Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other
funds of Subsidiary Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to
Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be
held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 18, and (ii)
Subsidiary Guarantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or
obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon. If the Event of
Default giving rise to the exercise of such remedies by Agent shall be cured or
waived, then Agent shall reinstate the Subsidiary Guarantor's collection rights
with respect to such Accounts.
SECTION 10. Special Provisions with Respect to Investment Property.
(a) Subsidiary Guarantor hereby pledges, assigns, grants and
delivers to Agent, for the benefit of Banks and grants to Agent, for the benefit
of Banks a security interest in the shares of stock listed on Schedule II hereto
(the "Shares"), together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash,
stock and other moneys, investment property and property paid thereon, all
rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith,
including, but not limited to, those arising from or paid in connection with a
stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale of assets or other exchange of securities or any dividends
8
9
or other distributions of any kind and all other cash and noncash proceeds of
the foregoing (all of which shall be part of the "Pledged Collateral"), as
security for the Secured Obligations.
(b) The certificate or certificates for the securities included in
the Pledged Collateral, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed
in blank by Subsidiary Guarantor have been, or will be immediately upon the
subsequent receipt thereof by Subsidiary Guarantor, delivered by Subsidiary
Guarantor to Agent. Subsidiary Guarantor shall cause the books of each
corporation whose stock is part of the Collateral to reflect the pledge of the
Shares. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent may effect
the transfer of any securities included in the Pledged Collateral into its name
and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in its
name, but such action shall not be a strict foreclosure of its Lien therein.
Subsidiary Guarantor will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause
to be taken such actions, as Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue
the perfection of Agent's security interest in the Collateral.
(c) Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to and covenants
with Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Banks, that there are no subscriptions,
warrants or other options exercisable with respect to the Shares; the Shares
represent the percentage of the issued and outstanding stock of the Subsidiaries
listed on Schedule II; there are no agreements that require any Subsidiaries to
issue any additional shares of such Subsidiaries, and there are no outstanding
options to purchase such additional shares; the Shares have been duly authorized
and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable; and the Pledged
Collateral is not the subject of any present or, to the best knowledge of the
Subsidiary Guarantor, threatened suit, action, arbitration, administrative or
other proceeding, and Subsidiary Guarantor knows of no reasonable grounds for
the institution of any such proceedings.
(d) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights
with respect to the Pledged Collateral and to give consents, waivers and
ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or
consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be
inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute
or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights of Subsidiary
Guarantor to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall upon notice
to Subsidiary Guarantor cease in case an Event of Default hereunder shall occur
and be continuing. If the Event of Default giving rise to such exercise of
remedies by Agent shall be cured or waived, then Subsidiary Guarantor shall
again have the voting rights with respect to the stock of any of its
Subsidiaries.
(e) Subsidiary Guarantor recognizes that Agent may be unable to
effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act")
or other applicable securities laws, so that Agent may be compelled to resort to
one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be
obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for
their own account, for investment and without a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. Subsidiary Guarantor understands that private sales so made may
be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged
Collateral were sold at public sales, and agrees that Agent has no obligation to
delay the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary
(even if Agent would agree), to register such securities for sale under the Act.
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that private
9
10
sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made
in a commercially reasonable manner.
(f) Subsidiary Guarantor shall:
(i) not, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, (a) sell
assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, any of the Shares (b) create or suffer to exist any Lien
upon or with respect to any of the Shares except for the security interest under
this Agreement and other Permitted Liens, or (c) permit any issuer of Shares to
merge or consolidate unless all the outstanding capital stock of the surviving
or resulting corporation is, upon such merger or consolidation, pledged
hereunder;
(ii) (a) cause each issuer of Shares not to issue any stock or
other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Shares issued by such
issuer, except to Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) pledge hereunder, immediately upon
its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional shares
of stock or other securities of each issuer of Shares to the extent necessary to
cause the percentage of shares of such issuer pledged hereunder to equal the
percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock
of each Subsidiary of Subsidiary Guarantor set forth on Schedule II hereto, and
(c) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly)
thereof, any and all shares of stock of any Person that, after the date of this
Agreement, becomes, as a result of any occurrence, a direct Subsidiary of
Subsidiary Guarantor.
SECTION 11. Special Provisions with Respect to Brokerage and Deposit
Accounts.
(a) All deposit and brokerage accounts of Subsidiary Guarantor
existing on the date hereof are accurately listed on Schedule III hereto (which
shall be deemed to be an addendum to the Schedules to the Credit Agreement).
Subsidiary Guarantor shall notify Agent within five (5) days of the opening or
creating of any new deposit or brokerage accounts, and shall provide Agent with
such information as Agent may require in order to perfect or protect its
security interest in such deposit or brokerage accounts.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, Agent may exercise dominion and control over, and refuse to permit
further withdrawals, issuance of entitlement orders or other directions to
effect transactions by Subsidiary Guarantor (whether of money, securities,
instruments or other property) from any brokerage or deposit accounts
constituting part of the Collateral.
SECTION 12. License of Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, etc. Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Agent, for the benefit of
Agent and Banks, effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
nonexclusive right and license to use all trademarks, trade names, copyrights,
patents or technical processes owned or used (to the extent that the Subsidiary
Guarantor has the right to assign such property not owned by it) by Subsidiary
Guarantor that relate to the Collateral and any other collateral granted by
Subsidiary Guarantor as security for the Secured Obligations, together with any
goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable Agent to
use, possess and realize on the Collateral for the benefit of Agent and Banks
and to enable any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral.
This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and
10
11
transferees of Agent and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by
voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed

Subsidiary Guarantor.

(a) except to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or
otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral; or
(b) except for the security interest created by this Agreement, and
except to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor
Agreement, create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the
Collateral to secure the indebtedness or other obligations of any Person.
SECTION 14. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
irrevocably appoints Agent as Subsidiary Guarantor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Subsidiary Guarantor and in the name of
Subsidiary Guarantor, Agent or otherwise, from time to time in Agent's
discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including,
without limitation: (a) to sign and file on behalf of Subsidiary Guarantor any
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or
any part of the Collateral; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained
by Subsidiary Guarantor or paid to Agent pursuant to Section 8; (c) upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to ask, demand,
collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts
for monies due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to
receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and
chattel paper in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above; (e) upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to file any
claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Agent may deem
necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise
to enforce the rights of Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; (f) upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to pay or
discharge taxes or liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the
Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to
discharge the same to be determined by Agent in its sole discretion, any such
payments made by Agent to become obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor to Agent,
due and payable immediately without demand; (g) upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, to sign and endorse any invoices,
freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts
against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with
Accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; and (h) upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, generally to
sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Agent were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Agent's option and
Subsidiary Guarantor's expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and
things that Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and Agent's security interest therein in order to effect the intent
of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Subsidiary Guarantor might
do.
11
12
SECTION 15. Agent May Perform. If Subsidiary Guarantor fails to perform
any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith
shall be payable by Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 19.
SECTION 16. Standard of Care. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are
solely to protect its interest and the interest of the Banks in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for
the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder and
other duties imposed by applicable law, Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property.
SECTION 17. Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,
if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may
exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in any relevant jurisdiction (the "Code") (whether or not the Code
applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (a) require Subsidiary
Guarantor to, and Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense
and upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at a place to be designated by
Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (b) enter onto the property
where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without
judicial process, (c) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store,
process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Agent deems appropriate,
(d) take possession of Subsidiary Guarantor's premises or place custodians in
exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of
Subsidiary Guarantor's equipment for the purpose of completing any work in
process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (c) and collecting
any Secured Obligation, and (e) without notice except as specified below, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private
sale, at any of Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other
terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Agent may be the purchaser of
any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Agent shall be entitled, for
the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price
for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use
and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase
price for any Collateral payable by Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any
such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right
on the part of Subsidiary Guarantor, and Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives (to
the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or
appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Subsidiary Guarantor agrees
that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days'
notice to Subsidiary Guarantor of (i) the time and place of any public sale or
(ii) the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Agent may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed there for, and such sale may, without further notice, be
12
13
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby waives any claims against Agent arising by reason of the fact that the
price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less
than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Agent
accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than
one offeree, provided Agent acted in a commercially reasonable manner. If the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay all the Secured Obligations, Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law for the deficiency and the fees of
any attorneys employed by Agent to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 18. Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided
elsewhere in this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds
received by Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may in the discretion of
Agent, be held by Agent for the benefit of Agent and Banks as Collateral for,
and/or then, or at any other time thereafter, applied in full or in part by
Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority:
FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection
or other realization, including reasonable compensation to Agent and its agents
and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred
by Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Agent is entitled to
indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Agent hereunder for the
account of Subsidiary Guarantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses
paid or incurred by Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
hereunder, all in accordance with Section 19;
SECOND: To the payment of all other Secured Obligations (for the ratable
benefit of the holders thereof) in such order as Agent shall elect; and
THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Subsidiary Guarantor, or to
whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such
proceeds.
SECTION 19. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to indemnify Agent and Banks from
and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to,
growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement of this
Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result
solely from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Subsidiary Guarantor will pay to Agent upon demand the amount of
any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Agent may incur in connection
with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation,
use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon,
any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of
Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Subsidiary Guarantor to perform or
observe any of the provisions hereof.
13
14
SECTION 20. Appointment of Agent. Agent has been appointed to act as Agent
hereunder by Banks as provided in the Credit Agreement. Agent shall be
obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices,
to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from
taking any action (including without limitation the substitution of Collateral)
solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. As provided
in Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to
exercise any discretion or take any action hereunder, but subject to Section
9.01 of the Credit Agreement, shall be required to act or refrain from acting
upon the instructions of the Majority Banks, and such instructions shall be
binding upon all Banks. Upon the resignation or removal of the Agent under
Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement, the successor agent shall be entitled to
exercise rights, refrain from exercising rights, take such actions, and refrain
from taking actions, as provided to the Agent hereunder and under the Credit
Agreement.
SECTION 21. Amendments, etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, or consent to any departure by Subsidiary Guarantor here from,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
SECTION 22. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraph, telex or facsimile
communication) and mailed or telegraphed or telexed or sent by facsimile or
delivered, if to Subsidiary Guarantor or Agent, at its address set forth on the
signature pages hereof; or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties. All such
notices and communications shall be effective three (3) Business Days after
deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, when sent by telex or sent by
facsimile, or when delivered, respectively.
SECTION 23. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. Remedies Cumulative. No
failure or delay on the part of Agent in the exercise of any power, right or
privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed
to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights
and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive
of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 24. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under
this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 25. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement
are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
SECTION 26. Governing Law; Terms. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISION OF LAW AND EXCEPT
