Such replacement part shall be free and clear of all Liens and upon installation, attachment or incorporation in, on or into such Item of Equipment, such replacement part immediately, and without further act, shall be deemed to constitute an Item of Equipment and fully be subject to the security interest granted to KEF hereunder. If KEF repossesses the Equipment pursuant to its rights under this Agreement and at that time, in the opinion of KEF, any Item of Equipment fails to meet the standards set forth above, Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses incurred in connection with repairing or restoring such Item of Equipment so as to meet such standards and/or assembling and delivering such Item of Equipment.

(b) Upon KEF’s receipt of the payment required under clause (3) above, KEF shall release its security interest in such Item of Equipment. If Borrower fails to either restore or replace the Item of Equipment pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) above, respectively, Borrower shall make the payment under clause (3) above.

11. Insurance. (a) Borrower, at Borrower’s own cost and expense, shall maintain (1) insurance against all risks of physical loss or damage to the Equipment (which shall include theft and collision for Equipment consisting of motor vehicles, and shall not exclude loss resulting from flood or earthquake) in an amount not less than the full replacement value thereof and (2) comprehensive public liability insurance including blanket contractual liability for personal and bodily injury and property damage in an amount satisfactory to KEF.

Prior to funding the Note, and thereafter not less than 15 days prior to the expiration dates of the expiring policies theretofore delivered pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall deliver to KEF a duplicate original of all policies (or in the case of blanket policies, certificates thereof issued by the insurers thereunder) for the insurance maintained pursuant to this Section.

13. KEF’s Right to Perform for Borrower. If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations contained in the Loan Documents, KEF may (but shall not be obligated to) itself perform such obligations, and the amount of the reasonable costs and expenses of KEF incurred in connection with such performance, together with interest on such amount from the date paid by KEF until the date repaid by Borrower to KEF, at the Default Rate, shall be payable by Borrower to KEF upon demand. No such performance by KEF shall be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies of KEF, or be deemed to cure the default of Borrower hereunder. All such sums and amounts so expended by KEF shall be repayable by the Borrower immediately without notice or demand, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate.

14. Delinquent Payments; Interest. If Borrower fails to pay any of the Installments on the date when the same becomes due, Borrower shall pay to KEF a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such delinquent amount. Such late charge shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by KEF and shall be deemed part of the Secured Obligations. In no event shall such late charge exceed the maximum amounts permitted under Applicable Law.

15. Personal Property; Liens; Warranty of Title. The Borrower is, and will continue to be, the sole owner of the Equipment, free from any Lien. KEF and Borrower hereby agree that the Equipment is, and shall at all times remain, personal property notwithstanding the fact that any Item of Equipment may now be, or hereafter become, in any manner affixed or attached to real property or any improvements thereon. Borrower shall at all times keep the Equipment free and clear from all Liens, and the Borrower shall obtain and deliver to KEF (to be recorded at the Borrower’s expense) from each person having a Lien on any Equipment Location waivers of any Lien which such person might have or hereafter obtain or claim with respect to the Equipment. Borrower shall (a) give KEF immediate written notice of any Lien on the Collateral, (b) promptly, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, take such action as may be necessary to discharge any such Lien, and (c) indemnify and hold KEF, on an after-tax

basis, harmless from and against any loss or damage caused by any such Lien. Borrower warrants that it has good, valid and marketable title to the Equipment, and that (1) the security interest in the Collateral granted to KEF hereunder, when properly perfected by filing, shall constitute a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral and, (2) the Collateral is not subject to, and Borrower will not grant or permit to exist, any Liens or claims on or against the Collateral, whether senior, superior, junior, subordinate or equal to the security interest granted to KEF hereby, or otherwise.

16. Events of Default; Remedies. (a) As used herein, the term “Event of Default” shall mean any of the following events: (1) Borrower fails to pay any Installment within ten (10) days after the same shall have become due and payable; (2) Borrower or any Guarantor becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (3) a receiver, trustee, conservator or liquidator of Borrower or any Guarantor or of all or a substantial part of Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s assets is appointed with or without the application or consent of Borrower or such Guarantor, respectively; (4) a petition is filed by or against Borrower or any Guarantor under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar legislation; (5) Borrower or any Guarantor violates or fails to perform any provision of either the Loan Documents or any other loan, lease or credit agreement or any acquisition or purchase agreement with KEF or any other party; (6) Borrower violates or fails to perform any covenant or representation made by Borrower in the Loan Documents; (7) any representation or warranty made herein or in any of the Loan Documents, certificates, financial statements or other statements furnished to KEF (or KEF’s parent, subsidiaries or affiliates) shall prove to be false or misleading in any material respect as of the date on which the same was made; (8) Borrower makes a bulk transfer of furniture, fixtures or other equipment or inventory; (9) there is a material adverse change in Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s financial condition; (10) Borrower merges or consolidates with any other corporation or entity, or sells, leases or disposes of all or substantially all of its assets without the prior written consent of KEF; (11) without the written consent of KEF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, a change in control occurs in Borrower or any Guarantor; (12) the death or dissolution of Borrower or any Guarantor; (13) any of the liens created or granted hereby, or intended to be granted or created hereby, to KEF shall fail to be valid, first priority perfected liens subject to no prior or equal lien; or (14) an additional Lien attaches to the Equipment or the Equipment becomes subject to risk of seizure or forfeiture.

(b) (1) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, KEF, at its option, may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Note, to be immediately due and payable, without demand or notice to Borrower or any Guarantor. The obligations and liabilities accelerated thereby shall bear interest (both before and after any judgment) until paid in full at the Default Rate. Should there occur a Default and if a voluntary or involuntary petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against Borrower while such Default remains uncured, the Secured Obligations automatically shall be accelerated and due and payable and interest thereon at the Default Rate automatically shall apply as of the date of the first occurrence of the Default, without any notice, demand or action of any type on the part of KEF (including any action evidencing the acceleration or imposition of the Default Rate). The fact that KEF has, prior to the filing of the voluntary or involuntary petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, acted in a manner which is inconsistent with the acceleration and imposition of the Default Rate shall not constitute a waiver of this provision or estop KEF from asserting or enforcing KEF’s rights hereunder.

(2) Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, KEF shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the other Loan Documents or by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code under the laws of the State of New York (the “UCC”) (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further KEF may do any one or more of the following as KEF in its sole discretion may elect, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others: (a) enter and remain on any premises on which any of the Equipment may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Borrower, without liability to KEF by reason of such entry or taking possession, take possession of the Equipment, (b) prepare for sale and sell or otherwise dispose of any Equipment on any such premises, (c) require the Borrower to assemble and make available to KEF at Borrower’s expense any

Equipment at any place and time designated by KEF, (d) remove any Equipment from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, (e) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which the Borrower hereby waives, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Equipment held by or for it at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as KEF deems advisable, in its sole discretion, or (f) lease all or any portion of the Equipment on such terms and conditions as KEF in its sole discretion may determine. In addition to all other sums due KEF hereunder, the Borrower shall pay KEF all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by KEF, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in obtaining or liquidating the Collateral, in enforcing payment of Secured Obligations, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against KEF or the Borrower concerning any matter arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, the Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including without limitation any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

(3) Borrower’s waivers regarding disposition of the equipment. IF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY DEFENSES, RIGHTS, OFFSETS OR CLAIMS AGAINST KEF ARISING OUT OF THE REPOSSESSION, RETENTION, SALE, MANNER OR METHOD OF SALE OR DISPOSITION OF ANY ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY REQUIREMENT OF REASONABLE NOTICE SHALL BE MET IF SUCH NOTICE IS PERSONALLY SERVED ON OR MAILED, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NOTICE PROVISIONS HEREOF AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE TIME OF SALE OR OTHER EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE REQUIREMENT OF SUCH NOTICE. KEF SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE ANY SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE EQUIPMENT REGARDLESS OF NOTICE HAVING BEEN GIVEN. KEF MAY BE THE PURCHASER AT ANY SUCH SALE. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL OF ITS RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION FROM ANY SUCH SALE. KEF MAY POSTPONE OR CAUSE THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE SALE OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE EQUIPMENT BY ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE TIME AND PLACE OF SUCH SALE, AND SUCH SALE MAY, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE, BE MADE AT THE TIME AND PLACE TO WHICH THE SALE WAS SCHEDULED. NONE OF KEF’S RIGHTS OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER ARE INTENDED TO BE EXCLUSIVE OF, BUT EACH SHALL BE CUMULATIVE AND IN ADDITION TO, ANY OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY REFERRED TO HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE AVAILABLE TO KEF OR ITS ASSIGNS AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, AND MAY BE PURSUED SINGLY, SUCCESSIVELY OR CONCURRENTLY AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF LENDER AND MAY BE EXERCISED AS OFTEN AS OCCASION THEREFOR SHALL OCCUR. THE FAILURE TO EXERCISE, OR ANY DELAY IN THE EXERCISE OF, ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY SHALL IN NO EVENT BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER, RELEASE OR EXHAUSTION OF ANY SUCH REMEDIES. NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WAIVER BY KEF OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF ANY OTHER EVENT OF DEFAULT OR A WAIVER OF ANY OF KEF’S RIGHTS UPON THE REOCCURRENCE OF ANY SUCH EVENT OF DEFAULT.

(c) The Borrower hereby authorizes KEF, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, at KEF’s option to adjust, compromise and settle any losses under any insurance afforded, and the Borrower does hereby irrevocably constitute KEF and each of its designees, as its attorneys-in-fact, with full power and authority, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, to effect such adjustment, compromise and/or settlement and to endorse any drafts drawn by an insurer of the Equipment or any part thereof and to do everything necessary to carry out such purposes and to receive and receipt for any unearned premiums due under policies of such insurance; but unless or until KEF elects to adjust, compromise or settle losses as aforesaid, such insurance proceeds shall be subject to the lien and security interest of KEF hereunder.

(d) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default hereunder, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by KEF in cash or its equivalent, will be applied first to costs of collection and, thereafter, in reduction of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as KEF may direct in its sole discretion, and the Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that KEF shall have the

continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all such payments and proceeds in KEF’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records. The Borrower shall remain liable to KEF for any deficiency. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Borrower or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

(e) To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral, or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, then KEF also shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, and KEF shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, liens, security interests or remedies KEF shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, without in any way affecting the Secured Obligations or any of KEF’s rights under this Agreement.

17. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be transmitted by hand, overnight courier or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid. Such notices and other communications shall be addressed to the respective party at the address set forth above or at such other address as any party may from time to time designate by notice duly given in accordance with this Section. Such notices and other communications shall be effective upon the earlier of receipt or three (3) days after mailing if mailed in accordance with the terms of this section.

18. General Indemnification. Borrower shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold KEF and its directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and advisors harmless on an after-tax basis from and against, any and all liabilities, causes of action, claims, suits, penalties, damages, losses, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), obligations, liabilities, demands and judgments, and Liens, of any nature whatsoever (collectively, a “Liability”) arising out of or in any way related to: (a) the Loan Documents, (b) a failure to comply fully with Applicable Law and (c) Borrower’s failure to perform any covenant, or breach of any representation or warranty under the Loan Documents; provided, that the foregoing indemnity shall not extend to the Liabilities to the extent resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of KEF. Borrower shall promptly deliver to KEF copies of any documents received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency or to any state, county or municipal environmental or health agency concerning the Equipment or its operation and copies of any documents submitted by Borrower or any of its subsidiaries to the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any state, county or municipal environmental or health agency concerning the Equipment or its operation. Borrower further agrees to indemnify KEF against and hold it harmless from all present and future stamp, transfer, documentary and other such taxes, levies, fees, assessments or other charges made by any jurisdiction by reason of the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Loan Documents.

19. Severability; Captions. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law. If, however, any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law, or if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without affecting the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Captions are intended for convenience or reference only, and shall not be construed to define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provisions hereof.

20. Financial and Other Data. During the Term hereof, Borrower shall furnish KEF (a) as soon as available, and in any event within 120 days after the last day of each fiscal year, financial statements of Borrower and each Guarantor and (b) from time to time as KEF may reasonably request, other financial reports, information or data (including federal and state income tax returns) and quarterly or interim financial statements of Borrower and each Guarantor.
