the part of the Debtors, which right or equity of redemption is hereby

expressly waived and released by the Debtors.&#160;

Upon the request of the Secured Party, the Debtors shall assemble the Collateral

and make it available to the Secured Party at any place designated by the

Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to the Debtors and the Secured

Party.&#160; Each Debtor agrees that the

Secured Party shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days prior

written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after

which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute

reasonable notice of such matters.&#160; The

Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall

determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of

Collateral may have been given.&#160; The

Secured Party may, without notice or publica&#173;tion, adjourn any public or

private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by

announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without

further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so

adjourned.&#160; Each Debtor shall be liable

for all reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or the

like, and all reasonable attorneys' fees, legal expenses and other costs and

expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connec&#173;tion with the collection of

the Obligations and the enforce&#173;ment of the Secured Party's rights under this

Agreement.&#160; Each Debtor shall remain

liable for any deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of

the Collateral applied to the Obligations are insufficient to pay the

Obligations in full.&#160; The Secured Party

may apply the Collateral against the Obliga&#173;tions as provided in the Credit

Agreement.&#160; Each Debtor waives all

rights of marshaling, valuation and appraisal in respect of the

Collateral.&#160; Any cash held by the

Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party

in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any

part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Secured Party, be held by

the Secured Party as collateral for, and then or at any time thereafter applied

in whole or in part by the Secured Party against, the Obligations in the order

permitted by the Credit Agreement.&#160; Any

surplus of such cash or cash proceeds and interest accrued thereon, if any,

held by the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the

Obligations shall be promptly paid over to the Debtors or to whomsoever may be

lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.</font></font></p>

6.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Private Sales.</u>&#160;

Each Debtor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a

public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions

contained in the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or in the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the &quot;<u>Securities

Act</u>&quot;), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to

resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers

who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral

for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or

resale thereof.&#160; Each Debtor

acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and

other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale

and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale

shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed to have been made in a

commercially reasonable manner.&#160; Neither

the Secured Party nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to delay a sale

of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer

of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any

jurisdiction outside the United States, under the Securities Act or under any

applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do

so.&#160; Each Debtor further agrees to do or

cause to be done, to the extent that such Debtor may do so under applicable

law, all such other reasonable acts and things as may be necessary to make such

sales or resales of any portion or all of the Collateral valid and binding and

in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs,

injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or

governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over

any such sale or sales, all at such Debtor's expense; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>,

no Debtor shall be required to file or cause any issuer of the Pledged Shares

to file a registration statement under applicable laws in connection with an

initial public offering of securities.</font></font></p>
