2.           Secured
Agreement.





2.1         General.To
secure repayment and performance of all Obligations hereunder, Company grants
Lender a security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable (other than
accounts factored with Wells Fargo),  ATSI’s ownership in ATSICOM,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any value received in exchange for
any of the foregoing including, without limitation, all proceeds of insurance
covering the same and all tort claims in connection therewith (collectively, the
“Collateral”).  For
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, “Obligations” means
and includes all loans, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties
owing by the Company to the Lender of any kind or nature, present or future,
whether or not evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument, which may
arise under, out of, or in connection with, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or any other agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith,
whether or not for the payment of money, whether arising by reason of a loan,
guaranty, indemnification or in any other manner, whether direct or indirect
(including those acquired by assignment, purchase, discount or otherwise),
whether absolute or contingent, due or to become due, and however
acquired.  The term includes, without limitation, all interest,
charges, expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any other sum properly
chargeable to the Company under this Agreement, the Note, the other Loan
Documents or any other agreement executed in connection herewith or
therewith.





As
further security for the Obligations, and to provide other assurances to the
Lender, the Lender shall receive, among other things:





(a)         This
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement for purposes of the
UCC.





2.3        Recourse to
Security.  Recourse to security shall not be required for any
Obligation hereunder and the Company hereby waives any requirement that the
Lender exhausts any right or take any action against any of the Collateral
before proceeding to enforce the Obligations against the
Company.





2.4         Special Provisions Relating
to Receivables.





(a)           Records, Collections,
Etc.  The Company shall report all customer credits, disputes
and discrepancies in calls and minutes in each case with a value in excess of
$100,000 to the Lender.  Such report shall include a general
description of each such dispute and resolution.  The Company shall
not settle or adjust any dispute or claim, or grant any discount (except
ordinary trade discounts), credit or allowance or accept any disputes, except in
the ordinary course of its business, without the Lender’s
consent.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Lender may (i) settle or adjust disputes or claims directly with
account debtors for amounts and upon terms which it considers advisable and (ii)
notify account debtors on the Company’s receivables that such receivables have
been assigned to the Lender, and that payments in respect thereof shall be made
directly to the Lender.  Where Company receives collateral of any kind
or nature by reason of transactions between itself and its customers or account
debtors, the Company will hold the same on the Lender’s behalf, subject to the
Lender’s instructions, and as property forming part of the Company’s
Receivables.  If the Company sells goods or services to a customer
which also sells goods or services to it or which may have other claims against
it, the Company will so advise the Lender immediately to permit the Lender to
establish a reserve therefore.





(b)           Receivables
Covenants.  During the term of this Agreement, the Company
shall always maintain current unfactored receivables greater than or equal to
the Principal Amount.  The Company shall notify the Lender promptly
of:  any material delay in the Company’s performance of any of its
obligations to any account debtor or the assertion of any claims, offsets,
defenses or counterclaims by any account debtor or any disputes with account
debtors or any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, all material
adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account debtor
and any event or circumstance which, to the Company’s knowledge, could be
reasonably expected to cause an Event of Default.  The Lender shall
have the right at any time or times, in the Lender’s name or in the name of a
nominee of Lender, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating
to any account or other Collateral, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission
or otherwise.





2.5        Continuation of Liens,
Etc.  The Company shall defend the Collateral against all
claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming any interest therein,
other than claims relating to liens permitted by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.  The Company agrees to comply with the requirements of
all state and federal laws to grant to the Lender valid and perfected security
interests in the Collateral and shall obtain a Deposit Account Control Agreement
or Control Agreement from any securities intermediary or depository bank in
possession of any of the Company’s investment property or deposit
accounts.  The Lender is hereby authorized by the Company to sign the
Company’s name on any document or instrument as may be necessary or desirable to
establish and maintain the liens covering the Collateral and the priority and
continued perfection thereof or file any financing or continuation statements or
similar documents or instruments covering the Collateral whether or not the
Company’s signature appears thereon.  The Company agrees, from time to
time, at the Lender’s request, to file notices of liens, financing statements,
similar documents or instruments, and amendments, renewals and continuations
thereof, and cooperate with the Lender’s representatives, in connection with the
continued perfection (and the priority status thereof) and protection of the
Collateral and the Lender’s liens thereon.  The Company agrees that
the Lender may file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement (or any financing statement related hereto) as a financing
statement.





2.7        Power of
Attorney.  In addition to all of the powers granted to the
Lender hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Lender (and all persons designated by the Lender) as the Company’s true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes the Lender (and its designees), in the
Company’s or the Lender’s name, to, at any time an Event of Default exists or
has occurred and is continuing (i) demand payment on receivables or other
Collateral, (ii) enforce payment of receivables by legal proceedings or
otherwise, (iii) exercise all of the Company’s rights and remedies to collect
any receivable or other Collateral, (iv) sell or assign any receivable or other
Collateral upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as the
Lender deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew any
receivable, (vi) discharge and release any receivable, (vii) prepare, file and
sign the Company’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar
document against an account debtor or other obligor in respect of any
receivables or other Collateral, (viii) notify the post office authorities to
change the address for delivery of remittances from account debtors or other
obligors in respect of receivables or other proceeds of Collateral to an address
designated by the Lender, and open and dispose of all mail addressed to the
Company and handle and store all mail relating to the Collateral; (ix) make any
payment or take any action necessary or desirable to protect or preserve any
Collateral; and (x) do all acts and things which are necessary, in the Lender’s
determination, to fulfill the Company’s Obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.  The Company hereby releases the Lender and each
Lender and their respective officers, employees and designees from any
liabilities arising from any act or acts under this power of attorney and in
furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission, except as a result of
the Lender’s or any of its officer’s, employee’s or designee’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final
non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The
Lender’s authority hereunder shall include, without limitation, the authority to
execute and give receipt for any certificate of ownership or any document, to
transfer title to any item of Collateral and to take any other actions arising
from or incident to the powers granted to the Lender under this
Agreement.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable until the Obligations are repaid in full.

Company irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes the Lender to file at any
time and from time to time such financing statements and similar instruments

party and the Company as debtor, as the Lender may require, and including any
other information with respect to the Company or otherwise required by the
Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction as the Lender may determine,
together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which
authorization shall apply to all financing statements and similar instruments
filed on, prior to or after the date hereof.  The Company hereby

instruments that the Company has or may at any time acquire, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Lender may

or chattel paper to be conspicuously marked in a form and manner acceptable to
the Lender with the following legend referring to chattel paper or instruments

interest of, ATV Texas Ventures III, LP as Lender, and any sale, transfer,
assignment or encumbrance of this [chattel paper][instrument] violates the
rights of such secured party.”

Company does not have any deposit accounts, except for Wells Fargo, as of the
date hereof., The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, after the date
hereof open, establish or maintain any deposit account unless each of the
following conditions is satisfied: (i) the Lender shall have received not less
than one (1) Business Days prior written notice of the intention of the Company
to open or establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable
detail and specificity reasonably acceptable to the Lender the name of the
account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the bank or other
financial institution at which such account is to be opened or established, the
individual at such bank or other financial institution with whom the Company is
dealing and the purpose of the account and (ii) on or before the opening of such

Lender to enforce, the security interest of the Lender in any and all of the
Collateral, including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where
appropriate, filing financing statements and similar instruments and amendments
relating thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, to the extent, if any,
that the Company’s signature thereon is required therefore, (ii) causing the

titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or
priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the security interest of the
Lender in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of any statute,
regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance
with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or

or third party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor,

remedies of the Lender therein or the ability of the Company to perform its
Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (b) pay or bond on
appeal any judgment entered against the Company, (c) discharge taxes, liens,
security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with

3.           Representations, Warranties
and Covenants of Company.





3.1         Corporate Existence and
Authority.  Company is and will continue to be duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or organization.  Company is and will continue to be
qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure
to do so would have a material adverse effect on Company.  Company has
all requisite power to transact the business it transacts and proposes to
transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement, and all other documents and
agreements contemplated by this Agreement, and to perform the provisions of this
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and all other documents
and agreements contemplated by this Agreement, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, have been duly authorized and
approved by Company.  This Agreement, and all other documents and
agreements contemplated by this Agreement have each been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by, and each is the valid and binding obligation of,
Company enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, except as may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or
other similar laws or by legal or equitable principles relating to or limiting
creditors’ rights generally.





3.2         No Conflicts. The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and any other
documents or agreements contemplated by this Agreement will not
(i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement, corporate
charter, by-laws or other material agreement or instrument to which Company is a
party or by which Company or any of its properties or the Collateral is
bound,  (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any order of any court, arbitrator or
Federal, State, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (collectively, “Governmental Person”)
applicable to Company or (iii) violate any material provision of any statute or
other rule or regulation of any Governmental Person applicable to Company, which
could have a material adverse effect on Company.





3.3         Place of Business; Location
of Collateral.  The address set forth in Section 9.3 of this
Agreement is Company’s chief executive office and the Collateral is located only
at such location and at such other location or locations listed
herein.  Company will give Lender prior written notice before opening
any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving
any of the Collateral to a location other than Company’s chief executive
office.





3.4         Title to Collateral;
Permitted Liens.  Company is now, and will at all times in the
future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of equipment
which are leased by Company.  The Collateral now is and will remain
free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances
and adverse claims, other than Permitted Liens.  Lender now has, and
will continue to have, a perfected and enforceable security interest in all of
the Collateral subject only to Permitted Liens, and Company will at all times
defend Lender and the Collateral against all claims of others (subject to the
rights of holders of the Permitted Liens).  So long as the Loan is
outstanding, none of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real
property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a
fixture.  Company is not and will not become a lessee under any real
property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the
Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit,
restrain or impair Company’s right to remove any Collateral from the leased
premises (subject to statutory rights of landlords).  Whenever any
Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest
(whether as owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or
otherwise), Company shall, whenever requested by Lender, use its best efforts to
cause such third party to execute and deliver to Lender, in form acceptable to
Lender, such waivers and subordinations as Lender shall specify, so as to ensure
that Lender’s rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be, superior to
the rights of any such third party.  Company will keep in full force
and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease of real property
where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.





As used
in this Agreement, “Permitted Liens”
shall mean (a) the lien, charges, security interests in favor of the Lender (b)
liens, charges, security interests, licenses, leases, and other encumbrances
4 attached
hereto and made a part hereof, (c) liens, charges, security interests, and other
encumbrances arising under or relating to the sale of accounts receivable under
that certain Account Transfer Agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit and any
renewal, extension or replacement thereof; (d) liens for taxes or assessments or
other charges by a Governmental Person that are not yet due and payable or, if
due and payable, are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and for which appropriate reserves are maintained; (e) mechanics’ materialmen’s,
landlords’, warehousemen’s, carrier’s and other similar liens imposed by law and
securing obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business which are not
past due for more than thirty (30) days or which are being diligently contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves have
been established; (f) liens under workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance,
Social Security and other similar legislation’ (g) liens, deposits, or pledges
securing the performance of contracts, leases, public or statutory obligations,
surety, stay, appeal and performance bonds and other similar obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of business; (h) liens securing capital lease
obligations or the payment of the purchase price of any asset; and (i) with
respect to real property, easements, restrictive covenants, rights-of-way and
other similar liens and encumbrances that do not impair the continued use of
such real property.





3.5         Maintenance of
Collateral.  Company will maintain the Collateral in good
working condition, ordinary wear and tear accepted, and Company will not use the
Collateral for any unlawful purposes.  Company will immediately advise
Lender in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral as more fully
set forth in Section
3.29(c).  The Company will not directly or indirectly, in any
fiscal year, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral (other
than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business), or grant any
option.





3.6         Books and
Records.  Company has maintained and will maintain at Company’s
chief executive or chairman’s office at the address set forth in Section 9.3 complete
and accurate books and records, comprising an accounting system in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principals.  The Company shall, (i)
maintain books and records (including computer records and programs) of account
pertaining to the assets, liabilities and financial transactions of the Company
in such detail, form and scope as is consistent with good business practice and
(ii) provide the Lender access to the premises of the Company at any time and
from time to time, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice under
the circumstances, but in all events at least one (1) Business Day notice, and
at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, for the purposes of (A) inspecting and verifying the Collateral, (B)
inspecting and copying (at the Company’ expense) any and all records pertaining
thereto, and (C) discussing the affairs, finances and business of the Company
with any officer or director thereof, all of whom are hereby authorized to
disclose to the Lender all financial statements, work papers, and other
information relating to such affairs, finances or business.





3.7         Financial Condition,
Statements and Reports.  All financial statements now or in the
future delivered to Lender have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and now and in
the future will completely and fairly reflect the financial condition of
Company, at the times and for the periods therein stated.  Between the
last date covered by any such statement provided to Lender and the date hereof,
the Company represents that there has been no material adverse change in the
financial condition or business of Company.  The Company will not at
any time make or permit any material change in accounting policies or reporting
practices, except as required by GAAP.





3.8         Compliance with
Law.  Company has complied, and will comply, in all material
respects, with all provisions of all applicable laws and regulations, including,
but not limited to, those relating to Company’s ownership of real or personal
property, the conduct and licensing of Company’s business, and all environmental
matters.





3.9         Litigation.  Except
as disclosed, there is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation
pending or (to the best of Company’s knowledge) threatened by or against or
affecting Company in any court or before any Governmental Person (or any basis
therefore known to Company) which could normally or reasonably be expected to
result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in
the financial condition or business of Company, or in any material impairment in
the ability of Company to carry on its business in substantially the same manner
as it is now being conducted.  Company will promptly inform Lender in
writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future
threatened or instituted by or against Company.





3.10       Use of
Proceeds.  All proceeds of the Loan shall be used solely in
accordance with this Agreement.  In no event shall the Company (i) use
any portion of the proceeds of the Loan for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve
Board) in any manner which violates the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of
the Federal Reserve Board or for any other purpose in violation of any
applicable statute or regulation, or of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, or (ii) take, or permit any person acting on its behalf to take, any
action which could reasonably be expected to cause this Agreement or any
document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto to violate any regulation of
the Federal Reserve Board.





3.11       Intellectual
Property.  Company possesses all material licenses, permits,
franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names and
any other tangible or intangible or intellectual property rights, or rights
thereto, required to conduct its business substantially as now conducted and as
currently proposed to be conducted, and such rights do not infringe any material
intellectual property rights of others in any material respect and no claim or
litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened
against the Company that contests its right to sell or use any such product,
process, method, substance, part or other material.  The Company shall
do and cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force
and affect all of its material registrations of intellectual property, including
without limitation all trademarks, service marks and other marks, trade names
and other trade rights.





3.12       Indebtedness.  Except
as set forth on the Debt Schedule and as reported in the Company’s SEC filings,
Company has no outstanding indebtedness of any kind.





3.13       Disclosure.  No
representation or other statement made by Company to Lender contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
any statements made to Lender not misleading.





3.14       No Actual or Pending
Material Modification of Business.  There exists no actual or,
to the best of the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, threatened
termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any modification or change in,
the business relationship of the Company with any customer or group of customers
which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect.





3.15       No Broker’s or Finder’s
Fees.  No broker or finder brought about the obtaining, making
or closing of the Loan or financial accommodations afforded hereunder or in
connection herewith by the Lender or any of its affiliates.





3.16       Investment
Company.  Company is not an “investment company,” or an
“affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an
“investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.  Neither the making of the Loan or the application
of the proceeds or repayment thereof by the Company, nor the consummation of the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
will violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation or order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission there under.





3.17       Solvency.  Company
is Solvent and will be Solvent upon the completion of all transactions
contemplated to occur on or before the making of the Loan by the
Lender.  For purposes of this Agreement “Solvent” means, that
as of the date as to which the Company’s solvency is to be
measured:





(a)           it
has sufficient capital to conduct its business; and





(b)           it
is able to meet its debts as they mature.





3.18       Affiliate
Transactions.  Except as specified in herein, the Company
is not a party to or bound by any agreement or arrangement (whether oral or
written) to which any affiliate of the Company is a party except (i) in the
ordinary course of and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the business
of the Company and (ii) upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the
Company than it could obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an
unaffiliated person.





3.19       Performance.  Company
shall pay the Principal Amount of, and interest on, the Loan evidenced by this
Agreement in the manner provided in this Agreement.  The obligation of
Company described in the preceding sentence is absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any tax or accounting treatment of such obligation including
without limitation any documentary stamp, transfer, ad valorem or other taxes
assessed by any jurisdiction in connection with this transaction.





3.20       Stay, Extension and Usury
Laws.  Company agrees (to the extent it may lawfully do so)
that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any
usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive Company from paying all or
a portion of the Principal Amount of, finance fee, or interest on the Loan
contemplated by this Agreement, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereinafter
in force, or that may materially affect the covenants or the performance of this
Agreement in any manner inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement.  Company expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law.  If a court of competent jurisdiction prescribes that
Company may not waive its rights to take the benefit or advantage of any stay or
extension law or any usury law or other law in accordance with the prior
sentence, then the obligation to pay interest on the Principal Amount shall be
reduced to the maximum legal limit under applicable law governing the interest
payable in connection with this Agreement, and any amount of interest paid by
Company that is deemed illegal shall be deemed to have been a prepayment of the
Principal Amount on the Loan.





3.21       Taxes.  The
Company has properly completed and timely filed all income tax returns it is
required to file. The information filed within such tax returns is complete and
accurate in all material respects.  All deductions taken in such
income tax returns are appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, except deductions that may have been disallowed but are being
challenged in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established
in accordance with GAAP.  All taxes, assessments, fees and other
governmental charges for periods beginning prior to the date hereof have been

established) by it and the Company has no liability for taxes in excess of the
amounts so paid or reserves so established.  No deficiencies for taxes
have been claimed, proposed or assessed by any taxing or other Governmental
Person against the Company and no tax liens have been filed with respect
thereto.  There are no pending or threatened audits, investigations or
claims for or relating to any liability of the Company for taxes and there are
no matters under discussion with any Governmental Person which could result in
an additional liability for taxes.  No extension of a statute of
limitations relating to taxes, assessments, fees or other governmental charges
is in effect with respect to the Company.  Company is not a party to,
and has no obligations under, any written tax sharing agreement or agreement
regarding payments in lieu of taxes.  Until payment and satisfaction
of all Obligations in full the Company shall pay, when due, (i) all tax
assessments, and other governmental charges and levies imposed against it or any
of its property and (ii) all lawful claims that, if unpaid, might by law become
a lien upon its property; provided, however, that, unless such tax assessment,
charge, levy or claim has become a lien on any of the property of the Company it
need not be paid if it is being contested in good faith, by appropriate
proceedings diligently conducted and an adequate reserve or other appropriate
provision shall have been established therefore as required in accordance with
GAAP.





3.22       Limitations on
Indebtedness.  Without Lender’s prior written consent, Company

Company shall at all times, maintain with financially sound and reputable
insurers insurance with respect to the Collateral against loss or damage and all
other insurance of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against or
carried by corporations of established reputation engaged in the same or similar
businesses and similarly situated.  Such policies of insurance shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender as to form, amount and
insurer.  The Company shall furnish certificates, policies or
endorsements to the Lender as the Lender shall request as proof of such
insurance, and, if the Company fails to do so, the Lender is authorized, but not
required, to obtain such insurance at the expense of the Company.  All
policies shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
Lender of any cancellation or reduction of coverage and that the Lender may act
as attorney for the Company in obtaining, and at any time an Event of Default
exists or has occurred and is continuing, adjusting, settling, amending and
canceling such insurance.  The Company shall cause the Lender to be
named as a loss payee and an additional insured (but without any liability for
any premiums) under such insurance policies and the Company shall obtain
non-contributory lender’s loss payable endorsements to all insurance policies in
form and substance satisfactory to the Lender.  Such Lender’s loss
payable endorsements shall specify that the proceeds of such insurance shall be
payable to the Lender as its interests may appear and further specify that the
Lender shall be paid regardless of any act or omission by a Company or any of
its affiliates.  In the event of a loss that results in a material
adverse effect, at its option, the Lender may apply any insurance proceeds
received by the Lender at any time to the cost of repairs or replacement of
Collateral and/or to payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in any
order and in such manner as the Lender may determine or hold such proceeds as
cash collateral for the Obligations.  In all other circumstances, the
Company shall determine whether the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the
cost of repairs or replacement of Collateral or to payment of the
Obligations.

payment and satisfaction of all Obligations in full, the Company will not
directly or indirectly, at any time make or hold any investment in any person

any part of the Collateral at any such public sale; or





(ix)

to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of
prejudgment remedy, the Company waives the posting of any bond which might
otherwise be required.





(b)         The
Lender may bid or become a purchaser at any sale, free from any right of
redemption, which right is expressly waived by the Company.  If notice
of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that

and occupy any of the Company’s leased or owned premises and facilities, without
charge, to exercise any of the Lender’s rights or remedies.

receivables.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Lender may at such time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors,
secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the receivables
have been assigned to the Lender and that the Lender has a security interest
therein and the Lender may direct any or all accounts debtors, secondary
obligors and other obligors to make payment of receivables directly to the
Lender, extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash,
credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions,
any and all receivables or other obligations included in the Collateral and
thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or
other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations,
demand, collect or enforce payment of any receivables or such other obligations,
but without any duty to do so, and the Lender shall not be liable for its

Lender or its attorneys with respect thereto and take whatever other action the
Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its
interests.

  License

occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Company hereby

bases, processes, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, labels, trade secrets,

other rights, assets and materials of Company, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any
of the foregoing may be stored or recorded and to all computer programs used for
the compilation or printout thereof.





8.3         No Marshaling; Deficiencies;
Remedies Cumulative.  The Lender shall have no obligation to
marshal any Collateral or to seek recourse against or satisfaction of any of the
Obligations from one source before seeking recourse against or satisfaction from
another source.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the Lender’s
exercise of any of the foregoing rights to liquidate Collateral shall be applied
by the Lender to such of the Obligations and in such order as the Lender shall
elect in its sole and absolute discretion, whether due or to become
due.  The Company shall remain liable to the Lender and the Lenders
for any deficiency with interest at the highest rate applicable to Loan
hereunder and the Lender agrees to remit to the Company or its successor or
assign, any surplus resulting therefrom.  All of the Lender’s remedies
under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously
against any Collateral and the Company or in such order and with respect to such
Collateral or the Company as the Lender may deem desirable, and are not intended
to be exhaustive.





8.4         Waivers.  Except
as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other Loan Document,
the Company hereby waives any right to a judicial or other hearing with respect
to any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Lender to take
possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of Collateral in any
instance (regardless of where the same may be located) where such action is
permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by
applicable law or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the
exercise of the Lender’s rights hereunder and also waives any bonds, security or
sureties required by any statute, rule or other law as an incident to any taking
of possession by the Lender of any Collateral.  The Company also
waives any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the
enforcement of the Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document including the taking of possession of any Collateral or the giving of
notice to any account debtor or the collection of any receivable of the
Company.  The Company also consents that upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender may enter upon any
premises owned by or leased to it without obligations to pay rent or for use and
occupancy, through self-help, without judicial process and without having first
obtained an order of any court.  These waivers and all other waivers
provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated
by the parties, and the Company acknowledges that it has been represented by
counsel of its own choice, has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights
hereunder and has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as the result of arm’s-length negotiations.





8.5         Indemnification;
Reimbursement of Expenses of Collection.   Company hereby
agrees that, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents are consummated, the Company will
indemnify, defend and hold harmless (on an after-tax basis) the Lender and its
successors and assigns and its directors, officers, agents, employees, advisors,
shareholders, attorneys and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies,
obligations, fines, penalties, actions (whether threatened or existing),
judgments, suits (whether threatened or existing) or expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, experts,
consultants and other professionals) imposed on, asserted against or incurred by
any of them (collectively, “Claims”) (except, in
the case of each Indemnified Party, to the extent that any Claim is determined
in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have directly resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct) arising out of or by reason of (i) any litigation, investigation,
