	Obligor's agreements and duties hereunder shall be performed by it at its sole cost and expense.


	If Obligor shall fail to do any act or thing which it has agreed to do hereunder, Telifonda may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done, either in its name or in the name and on behalf of Obligor, and Obligor hereby irrevocably authorizes Telifonda so to act.

	Assignment.  Telifonda may assign to an Affiliate of Telifonda any or all of the Obligations and may transfer therewith any or all of the Collateral therefor and the transferee shall have the same rights with respect thereto as had Telifonda. 


	Continuing Agreement; Termination.



	This Agreement shall be a continuing agreement and shall apply to all future Obligations, notwithstanding that at any particular time all of the Obligations then outstanding shall have been paid in full.


	Subject to Subsection 11(c) below, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until written notice of termination shall have been received by Telifonda at its address stated below, but, notwithstanding any such notice, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations then outstanding (whether absolute or contingent) shall have been paid in full.  Upon receipt of any such notice, Telifonda shall have no obligation to make further loans, extensions of credit or other financial accommodations to or on behalf of Obligor, anything in any other agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.


	This Agreement shall terminate immediately and without further notice or action if Telifonda, or any of its Affiliates, fails to vote (or cause to be voted) any and all Shares (defined below):  (i) in favor of the approval of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between Obligor and Telifonda (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), to effectuate the Transaction (as defined in the Loan Agreement); and (ii) against any proposal or transaction which could prevent or delay the consummation of the Transaction, whether such vote is at any meeting (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) of the stockholders of Obligor, however called, or in any action by written consent of the stockholders of Obligor.  The term "Shares" shall mean all issued and outstanding shares of Obligor common stock and preferred stock owned of record and beneficially owned (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 13d-3")) by Telifonda or over which Telifonda exercises sole voting power.


	Upon (i) payment in full of the Obligations, as described in Subsection 11(b) above, or (ii) termination of this Agreement as described in Subsection 11(c) above, the security interest of Telifonda in the Collateral shall automatically, and without further action or notice, terminate regardless (with respect to the termination of the Agreement described in Subsection 11(c) above) of whether any Obligations are then outstanding.  Upon such payment or termination described above, Obligor shall be deemed to have been authorized by Telifonda to file all necessary documentation to evidence the termination of the security interests granted by Obligor hereunder, without further action by Telifonda.

	Each of Obligor and Holder waives personal service of process and consents that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to such party at its address last specified for notices hereunder, and service so made shall be deemed completed on the date that such mail is received or rejected by such party, as shown on the return receipt.
