      NON-OFFICER
DIRECTOR

      DEFERRED
STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

       

      THIS
AGREEMENT, dated as of __________ (the “Date of Grant”), is entered into by and
between JER Investors Trust Inc. (the “Company”) and the individual named as a
participant on the signature page hereto (the
“Participant”).  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the JER Investors Trust Inc. Nonqualified
Stock Option and Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”).

       

      R
E C I T A L S:

       

      WHEREAS,
the Plan provides that each individual serving as a Non-Officer Director at the
time of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders shall be granted a
Non-Officer Director Award, which award may be in the form of a restricted stock
unit award;

       

      WHEREAS,
the Board has determined to grant an equity award under the Plan to each
Non-Officer Director upon such director’s first meeting of the Board, and has
determined that such award shall be in the form of a restricted stock unit
award;

       

      WHEREAS,
the Committee has determined to grant such Non-Officer Director Award in the
form of restricted stock units consistent with the terms and conditions of the
Plan and this Agreement;

       

      WHEREAS,
such Non-Officer Director Award in the form of restricted stock units shall be
hereinafter referred to as a Deferred Stock Unit Award; and

       

      WHEREAS,
the Committee has also determined that each Deferred Stock Unit Award shall be
eligible for cash dividend equivalents commencing with the Date of Grant,
without regard to the vesting provisions of this Agreement;

       

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the
parties agree as follows:

       

      1.           Grant of Deferred Stock
Units; Dividend Equivalents.  The Company hereby grants to the
Participant, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan, __________ Deferred
Stock Units (the “DSUs”). The DSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein.  The Participant shall be entitled to the payment of
a dividend equivalent as of each date (a “Dividend Date”) on which cash
dividends and/or special dividends and distributions are paid with respect to
Stock, provided that the record date with respect to such dividend or
distribution occurs within the restricted period described in Section
2.  Such dividend equivalent shall be paid in the form (whether in
cash, Stock or other property) as dividends are paid to the Company’s
stockholders and shall equal,
(a) to the extent such dividend is paid in cash, cash equal to the product of
(i) the number of the DSUs credited to such account on the record date for such
dividend or distribution and (ii) the per share dividend (or distribution value)
payable on such Dividend Date, and (b) to the extent such dividend is paid in
shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the product of (x) the number of the DSUs credited to
such account on the record date for such dividend or distribution and (y) the
per share dividend (or distribution value) payable on such Dividend Date, by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock as of such Dividend
Date.

       

      2.           Vesting of Deferred Stock
Units.

       

      (a)           One-half
of the DSUs granted under this Agreement shall be vested on the Date of
Grant.  Subject to Section 2(b) below, the remaining DSUs shall become
vested on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, subject to the
Participant’s continued service as a Non-Officer Director on such
date.

       

      (b)           Termination of Service. Any
DSUs, and the dividend equivalent rights related to such DSUs, that are not
vested as of the effective date of the Participant’s termination of service with
the Company shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration
therefor.

       

      3.           Settlement of Deferred Stock
Units.  On the first business day following the expiration of
six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” with the
Company (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall
deliver to the Participant (or such Participant’s estate or beneficiary, as
applicable), in complete settlement of all vested DSUs, a number of shares of
Stock equal to the number of vested DSUs determined hereunder or, in the sole
discretion of the Company, an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of
such number of shares of Stock on the settlement date.

       

      4.           No Right to Continued
Service.  Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall be
construed as giving the Participant the right to remain a Non-Officer Director
of the Company, or to be employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
Affiliates.

       

      5.           Legend on
Certificates.  The certificates representing Stock, if any,
issued in respect of the DSUs shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and
other restrictions as the Committee may determine is required by the rules,
regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
any stock exchange upon which the Stock is listed, any applicable federal or
state laws and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the
Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to
make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

       

      6.           Transferability.  A
DSU may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise
transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation,
pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and
unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the
designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation,
pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

       

      7.           Taxes.  The
Company shall be entitled to require, as a condition of settlement of the DSUs,
that the Participant agree to remit and pay when due an amount in cash
sufficient to satisfy all current or estimated future federal, state and local
withholding, and other taxes relating thereto.

       

      8.           Securities
Laws.  Upon the acquisition of any shares of Stock pursuant to
the settlement of the DSUs, the Participant will make or enter into such written
representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably
request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this
Agreement.

representations, warranties and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    1. Agreement to Sell and

this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3), the Company shall

    4. Representations and
Warranties of the Company.  The Company hereby represents and
warrants to each Creditor Party as follows:

     

    4.1 Organization, Good Standing
and Qualification.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is
a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be,
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization.  The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries has the corporate, limited liability company or partnership, as the
case may be, power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets
and, insofar as it is or shall be a party thereto, to (1) execute and deliver
(i) this Agreement, (ii) the Notes to be issued in connection with this
Agreement, (iii) the Master Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof among
the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company and the Agent (as amended,
restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Master Security
Agreement”), (iv) the Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of the date hereof
made by certain Subsidiaries of the Company (as amended, restated, modified
and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Subsidiary
Guaranty”), (v) the Stock Pledge Agreement dated as of the date hereof
among the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company and the Purchaser (as
amended, restated, modified and/or or supplemented from time to time, the “Stock Pledge
Agreement”), (vi) the Funds Escrow Agreement dated as of the date hereof

clauses (ii) through (vii), collectively, the “Related Agreements”);
(2) issue and sell the Notes; and (3) carry out the provisions of this Agreement
and the Related Agreements and to carry on its business as presently
conducted.  Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly
qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in
all jurisdictions in which the nature or location of its activities and of its
properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except
for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so has not, or could not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material
adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or
otherwise), properties, operations or prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken individually and as a whole (a “Material Adverse
Effect”).

     

    4.2 Subsidiaries.  Each
direct and indirect Subsidiary of the Company, the direct owner of such
Subsidiary and its percentage ownership thereof, is set forth on Schedule
4.2.  For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Subsidiary” of any
person or entity means (i) a corporation or other entity whose shares of stock
or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power (other than stock or
other ownership interests having such power only by reason of the happening of a
contingency) to elect a majority of the directors of such corporation, or other
persons or entities performing similar functions for such person or entity, are
owned, directly or indirectly, by such person or entity or (ii) a corporation or
other entity in which such person or entity owns, directly or indirectly, more
than 50% of the equity interests at such time; provided that, for so long as
each of AVI Holding Corp., a Texas corporation (“AVI Holdings”), Line
One, Inc., a New York corporation (“Line One”) and
TelcoSoftware.com Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TelcoSoftware” and
together with AVI Holdings and Line One, the “Inactive
Subsidiaries” and each, an “Inactive Subsidiary”)
hold no significant assets or liabilities (other than in respect of AVI
Holdings, capitalized lease obligations not to exceed $43,000, and in respect of
Line One, liabilities not to exceed $50,000) and do not engage in any business
activities, the defined term “Subsidiary” as used
in this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall not include such Inactive
Subsidiary; provided, further, that if any
Inactive Subsidiary shall at any time after the date hereof hold significant
assets or liabilities or engage in any business activities, such Inactive
Subsidiary shall thereafter be deemed a Subsidiary hereunder and shall otherwise
be subject to all terms, agreements, representations, warranties and covenants
otherwise applicable to Subsidiaries under this Agreement and the Related
Agreements and (y) an “Issuer Party” means,
the Company and each direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company to the extent
party to the Master Security Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Stock
Pledge Agreement and such other security documentation required by the Creditor
Parties to grant to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Creditor Parties,
a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of such
Subsidiary’s assets to secure the Obligations (as defined in the Master Security
Agreement).

of any securities of the Company outstanding, under anti-dilution or other
similar provisions contained in or affecting any such securities.

     

    (c) All
issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock:  (i) have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable;
and (ii) were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws

    (d) The
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of the Common
Stock are as stated in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”).  When
issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Company’s
Charter, the Notes will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and
will be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that the
Notes may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal
securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the
time a transfer is proposed.

     

    4.4 Authorization; Binding

of all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder and under the
other Related Agreements at the Closing and, the authorization, sale, issuance
and delivery of the Notes has been taken or will be taken prior to the
Closing.  This Agreement and the Related Agreements, when executed and
delivered and to the extent it is a party thereto, will be valid and binding

each such person or entity in accordance with their terms, except:

     

    (a) as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights;
and

     

    (b) general
principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal
remedies.

     

    The sale
of the Notes is not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights
of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied
with.

     

    4.5 Liabilities;
Solvency.

     

    (a) Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities, except current
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and liabilities
disclosed in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (“Exchange
Act”) made prior to the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Exchange Act
Filings”), copies of which have been provided to the Agent.

instructions or agreement of the Company and (c) the payment and accrual of all
transaction costs in connection with the foregoing, the Company and each
Subsidiary of the Company, is and will be, Solvent.  For purposes of
this Section 4.5(b), “Solvent” means, with respect to any Person (as hereinafter
defined) on a particular date, that on such date (a) the fair value of the
property of such Person is greater than the total amount of liabilities,
including contingent liabilities, of such Person; (b) the present fair salable
value of the assets of such Person is not less than the amount that will be
required to pay the probable liability of such Person on its debts as they
become absolute and matured; (c) such Person does not intend to, and does not
believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such Person’s ability to
pay as such debts and liabilities mature; and (d) such Person is not engaged in
a business or transaction, and is not about to engage in a business or
transaction, for which such Person’s property would constitute and unreasonably
small capital.  The amount of contingent liabilities (such as
litigation, guaranties and pension plan liabilities) at any time shall be
computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances
existing at the time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to
become an actual or matured liability.

such property; and

that have otherwise arisen in the ordinary course of business, so long as they
have no effect on the Lien priority of the Purchaser therein.

condition and repair and are reasonably fit and usable for the purposes for

Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all material terms of each
lease to which it is a party or is otherwise bound.

     

    4.10 Intellectual
Property.

     

    (a) Except as

sufficient legal rights to use all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information and other proprietary
rights and processes necessary for its business as now conducted and, to the

    (c) Schedule 4.10 (as

licenses which are either material to the business of the Company or relate to
any material portion of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ inventory,
including licenses for standard software having a replacement value of more than
$10,000.  None of such Intellectual Property licenses are reasonably
likely to be construed as an assignment of the licensed Intellectual Property to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

     

    (d) Except as
set forth on Schedule
4.10, there are no claims pending or, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge, threatened and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any other communications, alleging that, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries has infringed, diluted, misappropriated, or otherwise violated any
Intellectual Property of any other person or entity, nor is the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries aware of any basis therefore.

provision of any indebtedness, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or
instrument to which it is party or by which it is bound or of any judgment,
decree, order or writ, which violation or default, in the case of this clause
(y), has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in
the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  The execution, delivery and
performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the Related Agreements to
which it is a party, and the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company, will
not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such
material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any
such term or provision, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the
properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the
suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any permit,
license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or

Collateral (as defined in the Master Security Agreement) or following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in each
Note)), to:

     

    (a) visit and
inspect any of the properties of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries;

     

    (b) examine
the corporate and financial records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(unless such examination is not permitted by federal, state or local law or by
contract) and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom; and

     

    (c) discuss
the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
with the directors, officers and independent accountants of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will provide any
material, non-public information to any Creditor Party unless such Creditor
Party signs a confidentiality agreement and otherwise complies with Regulation
FD, under the federal securities laws.

     

    6.7 Taxes.

     

    (a) The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries will promptly pay and discharge, or cause
to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any such
tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid currently if (i) the validity
thereof shall currently and diligently be contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, (ii) such tax, assessment, charge or levy shall have no effect on
the lien priority of the Agent in any property of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and (iii) if the Company and/or such Subsidiary shall have set
aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with
GAAP; and provided, further, that the Company and its Subsidiaries will pay all
such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of
proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as security
therefor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all state and local telecom
taxes need only be paid in accordance with industry practices.

     

    (b) All
payments made by the Company under this Agreement or any Note shall be made free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any
present or future Taxes (as defined below) now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, other than
Excluded Taxes (as defined below).  If any Non-Excluded Taxes (as
defined below) or Other Taxes (as defined below) are required to be withheld
from any amounts payable to any Creditor Party under this Agreement or any Note,
the amounts so payable to such Creditor Party shall be increased to the extent
necessary to yield to such Creditor Party (after payment of all Non-Excluded
Taxes and Other Taxes, including those imposed on payments made pursuant to this
paragraph (b) of this Section 6.7 or any such other amounts payable in this
Agreement or any Note at the rates or in the amounts specified herein or
therein), an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deductions been made; provided, however, that no
Company shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Creditor
Party with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such
Creditor Party’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) of
this Section 6.7 or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on
amounts payable to such Creditor Party at the time such Creditor Party becomes a
party to Purchase Agreement, except to the extent that such Creditor Party’s
assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional
amounts from the Company with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to
this paragraph (b).

    (c) In
addition, the Company shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     

    (d) Whenever
any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as
possible thereafter the Company shall send to the Agent for its own account or
for the account of the relevant Purchaser, as the case may be, a certified copy
of an original official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof
(or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent).  If the
Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the
Creditor Parties for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may
become payable by any Creditor Party as a result of any such
failure.

     

    (e) Each
Purchaser (or its assignee) that is not a “United States Person” as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Purchaser”)
shall deliver to the Company and the Agent two completed originals of an
appropriate U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as applicable, or any
subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly
executed by such Non-U.S. Purchaser.  Such forms shall be delivered by
each Non-U.S. Purchaser on or before the date it becomes a party to this
Agreement.  In addition, each Non-U.S. Purchaser shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Non-U.S. Purchaser.  Each Non-U.S. Purchaser shall
promptly notify the Company at any time it determines that it is no longer in a
position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Company (or any
other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such
purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (e),
a Non-U.S. Purchaser shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
paragraph that such Non-U.S. Purchaser is not legally able to
deliver.

     

    (f) The
agreements in the preceding paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) and this paragraph (f)
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and
all other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder or under any other Related
Agreement.

     

    As used
in this Section 6.7, the following terms shall have the following meanings (such
meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the
terms defined):

     

    “Excluded Taxes”
means, with respect to any Creditor Party, taxes imposed on or measured by its
overall net income and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income
taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws
of which such Creditor Party is incorporated or organized or by the jurisdiction
(or any political subdivision thereof) in which the principal place of
management or applicable lending office of such Creditor Party is
located.

     

    “Non-Excluded Taxes”
means all Taxes other than (i) Excluded Taxes and (ii) Other Taxes.

     

    “Other Taxes” means
any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or
property taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made
hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or any other Related Agreement.

     

    “Taxes” means any and
all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments,
fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect
thereto.

     

    6.8 Insurance.  Each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries will keep its assets which are of an
insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against
loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by
companies in similar business similarly situated as the Company and its
Subsidiaries; and the Company and its Subsidiaries will maintain, with
financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against other hazards and
risks and liability to persons and property to the extent and in the manner
which the Company reasonably believes is customary for companies in similar
business similarly situated as the Company and its Subsidiaries and to the
extent available on commercially reasonable terms.  The Company, and
each of its Subsidiaries, will jointly and severally bear the full risk of loss
from any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the assets pledged to the
Purchaser as security for their respective obligations hereunder and under the
Related Agreements.  At the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’
joint and several cost and expense in amounts and with carriers reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser, each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
shall (i) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which it has an
interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those
hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for
such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses
similar to the Company’s or the respective Subsidiary’s including business
interruption insurance; (ii) maintain a bond in such amounts as is customary in
the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to the Company’s or the
respective Subsidiary’s insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal
misappropriation of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or
jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries either directly or through governmental
authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such
assets; (iii) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for
personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (iv) maintain all
such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the
laws of any state or jurisdiction in which the Company or the respective
Subsidiary is engaged in business; and (v) furnish the Purchaser with (x) copies
of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies at least thirty
(30) days before any expiration date, (y) excepting the Company’s workers’
compensation policy, endorsements to such policies naming the Purchaser as
“co-insured” or “additional insured” and appropriate loss payable endorsements
in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, naming the Purchaser as
loss payee, and (z) evidence that as to the Purchaser the insurance coverage
shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of the Company or any
Subsidiary and the insurer will provide the Purchaser with at least thirty (30)
days notice prior to cancellation.  The Company and each Subsidiary
shall instruct the insurance carriers that in the event of any loss thereunder,
the carriers shall make payment for such loss to the Company and/or the
Subsidiary and the Purchaser jointly.  In the event that as of the
date of receipt of each loss recovery upon any such insurance, the Purchaser has
not declared an event of default with respect to this Agreement or any of the
Related Agreements, then the Company and/or such Subsidiary shall be permitted
to direct the application of such loss recovery proceeds toward investment in
property, plant and equipment that would comprise “Collateral” secured by the
Purchaser’s security interest pursuant to the Master Security Agreement or such
other security agreement as shall be required by the Purchaser, with any surplus
funds to be applied toward payment of the obligations of the Company to the
Purchaser.  In the event that the Purchaser has properly declared an
event of default with respect to this Agreement or any of the Related
Agreements, then all loss recoveries received by the Purchaser upon any such
insurance thereafter may be applied to the obligations of the Company hereunder
and under the Related Agreements, in such order as the Purchaser may
determine.  Any surplus (following satisfaction of all Company
obligations to the Purchaser) shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Company or
applied as may be otherwise required by law.  Any deficiency thereon
shall be paid by the Company or the Subsidiary, as applicable, to the Purchaser,
on demand.

    (a) The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall maintain in full force and effect its
existence, rights and franchises and all licenses and other rights to own or use
Intellectual Property including registrations and applications therefore, that
are necessary to the conduct of its business, as now conducted or as presently
proposed to be conducted, and shall not do any act or omit to do any act whereby
any of such Intellectual Property may lapse, or become abandoned, dedicated to
the public, or unenforceable, or the Lien therein in favor of the Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Creditor Parties, would be adversely
affected,

     

    (b) The
Company shall report to the Agent (i) the filing by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries of any application to register a Copyright no later than ten (10)
days after such filing occurs (ii) the filing of any application to register any
other Intellectual Property with any other Intellectual Property registry, and
the issuance thereof, no later than thirty (30) days after such filing or
issuance occurs and, in each case, shall, simultaneously with such report,
deliver to the Agent fully-executed documents required to acknowledge, confirm,
register, record or perfect the Lien in such Intellectual
Property.  In addition, the Company and its Subsidiaries hereby
authorize the Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule 4.10 to
include any registrations or applications for Intellectual Property
inadvertently omitted from such Schedule or filed, registered, acquired by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof and agree to cooperate
with the Agent in effecting any such amendment to include any new item of
Intellectual Property included in the Collateral.

     

    (c) The
Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, promptly upon the
reasonable request of the Agent, execute and deliver to the Agent any document
or instrument required to acknowledge, confirm, register, record, or perfect the
Lien of the Agent in any part of the Intellectual Property owned by the Company
and its Subsidiaries.

     

    (d) The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, sell,

time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and
improvements thereto; and each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries will
at all times comply with each provision of all leases to which it is a party or
under which it occupies property if the breach of such provision could, either
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     

    6.11 Confidentiality.  The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, disclose, and
will not include in any public announcement, the name of any Creditor Party,
unless expressly agreed to by such Creditor Party or unless and until such
disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the
extent of such requirement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the
Company may disclose any Creditor Party’s identity and the terms of this
Agreement and the Related Agreements to its current and prospective debt and
equity financing sources, and (ii) the Company (and each employee,

Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and any facts that

Agreement and the Related Agreements and the agreements referred to therein;
provided, however, that the
Company (and no employee, representative or other agent of the Company) disclose
pursuant to this clause (ii) any other information that is not relevant to
understanding the tax treatment or tax structure of such transactions (including
the identity of any party or any information that could lead another to
determine the identity of any party); and, provided, further, that the
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, disclose any
information to the extent that such disclosure could reasonably be expected to
result in a violation of any U.S. federal or state securities law or similar law
of another jurisdiction.  Each Creditor Party shall be permitted to
discuss, distribute or otherwise transfer any non-public information of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in such Creditor Party’s possession now or in the
future to potential or actual (i) direct or indirect investors in such Creditor
Party and (ii) third party assignees or transferees of all or a portion of the
obligations of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder and under
the Related Agreements, provided, that such entities who receive such non-public
information shall be bound by the same confidentiality requirements imposed on

applicable, is the surviving entity);

     

    (c) become
subject to (including, without limitation, by way of amendment to or

agreements contemplated hereby or thereby;

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time

the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, is a “United States real property
holding corporation” as such term is defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code
and Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2 promulgated thereunder and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall at any time take any action or
otherwise acquire any interest in any asset or property to the extent the effect
of which shall cause the Company and/or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, to
be a “United States real property holding corporation” as such term is defined
in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2
promulgated thereunder.

     

    6.17 Multiple Funding

the amount of the proceeds of the Notes issued to the Purchasers that will not
be funded on the date hereof and for which funding is subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements.  Furthermore,
the Company agrees to disclose in all public filings required by the SEC (where
appropriate) following the filing of the Transaction 8-K, the terms and
conditions relating to the release of proceeds described in the immediately
preceding sentence, together with the amount thereof.

     

    6.18 No Restrictions on
Additional Financing.  The Company will not, and will not
permit its Subsidiaries to, agree, directly or indirectly, to any restriction
with any person or entity which limits the ability of the Purchaser to extend
any additional indebtedness to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and/or the
ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to sell or issue any equity
interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the
Purchaser.

    6.21 Board Observation
Rights.  Until such time as all Obligations (as defined in the
Master Security Agreement) have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Purchasers
will be entitled to the following board observation rights (“Board Observation
Rights”):  the Company shall, upon the request of the Agent,
permit one representative of the Purchasers to attend all meetings of the board
of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”)
in a non-voting observer capacity, which observation right shall include the
ability to observe discussions of the Board of Directors, and shall provide such
representative with copies of all notices, minutes, written consents, and other
materials that it provides to members of the Board of Directors, at the time it
provides them to such members. The observation right may be exercised in person
or via telephone or videophone participation. Each Purchaser agrees, on behalf
of itself and any representative exercising the observation rights set forth
herein, that so long as it shall exercise its observation right (i) it
shall hold in strict confidence pursuant to a confidentiality and non-disclosure
agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to each Purchaser) all information
and materials that it may receive or be given access to in connection with
meetings of the Board of Directors and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect
to all information so provided (provided that this shall not limit its ability
to discuss such matters with its officers, directors or legal counsel, as
necessary), and (ii) the Board of Directors may withhold from it certain
information or material furnished or made available to the Board of Directors or
exclude it from certain confidential “closed sessions” of the
Board of Directors if the furnishing or availability of such information or
material or its presence at such “closed sessions” would
jeopardize such Company’s attorney-client privilege or if the Board of Directors
otherwise reasonably so requires.  The Board Observation Rights set
forth in this Section shall automatically terminate and be of no further force
or effect upon the indefeasibly payment in full of all Obligations (as defined
in the Master Security Agreement).

     

    6.22 Share

    (a) No later

filing of a Proxy Statement with respect to an increase in the Company’s
authorized common stock to an aggregate amount of not less than
250,000,000.

    7. Covenants of the
Purchasers.  Each Purchaser covenants and agrees with the
Company as follows:

     

    7.1 Confidentiality.  No
Purchaser will disclose, nor will it include in any public announcement, the
name of the Company, unless expressly agreed to by the Company or unless and
until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only
to the extent of such requirement.

     

    7.2 Non-Public
Information.  No Purchaser will effect any sales in the shares
of the Common Stock while in possession of material, non-public information
regarding the Company if such sales would violate applicable securities
law.

    7.3 Limitation on Acquisition of
Common Stock of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any document, instrument
or agreement entered into in connection with any other transactions with a
Purchaser and the Company, no Purchaser (and/or Subsidiaries or Affiliates of
such Purchaser) may acquire stock in the Company (including, without limitation,
pursuant to a contract to purchase, by exercising an option or warrant, by
converting any other security or instrument, by acquiring or exercising any
other right to acquire, shares of stock or other security convertible into
shares of stock in the Company, or otherwise, and such contracts, options,
warrants, conversion or other rights shall not be enforceable or exercisable) to
the extent such stock acquisition would cause any interest (including any
original issue discount) payable by the Company to a Non-U.S. Purchaser not to
qualify as “portfolio interest” within the meaning of Section 871(h)(2) or
Section 881(c)(2) of the Code, by reason of Section 871(h)(3) or Section
881(c)(3) of the Code, as applicable, taking into account the constructive
ownership rules under Section 871(h)(3)(C) of the Code (the “Stock Acquisition
Limitation”).  The Stock Acquisition Limitation shall
automatically become null and void with respect to a Purchaser, without any
notice to the Company, on and after the first date upon which such Purchaser and
each of its Affiliates which qualify as a Non-U.S. Purchaser no longer owns any
indebtedness (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees and
charges) of the Company.

     

    8. Covenants of the Company and
the Purchasers Regarding Indemnification.

     

    8.1 Company
Indemnification.  The Company agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend each Creditor Party, each of such Creditor
Party’s officers, directors, agents, affiliates, control persons, and principal
shareholders, against all claims, costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations,
losses or damages (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by
or imposed upon such Creditor Party which result, arise out of or are based
upon: (i) any misrepresentation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
breach of any warranty by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in this
Agreement, any other Related Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached
hereto or thereto; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Company or
any of its Subsidiaries of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by
Company or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder, under any other Related Agreement
or any other agreement entered into by the Company and/or any of its
Subsidiaries and such Creditor Party relating hereto or thereto.

     

    8.2 Purchaser
Indemnification.  Each Creditor Party agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company’s officers,
directors, agents, affiliates, control persons and principal shareholders, at
all times against any claims, costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations, losses
or damages (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or
imposed upon the Company which result, arise out of or are based
upon:  (i) any misrepresentation by such Creditor Party or breach of
any warranty by such Creditor Party in this Agreement or in any exhibits or
schedules attached hereto or any Related Agreement; or (ii) any breach or
default in performance by such Creditor Party of any covenant or undertaking to
be performed by such Creditor Party hereunder, or any other agreement entered
into by the Company and such Creditor Party relating hereto.

     

    9. Intentionally
Omitted.

     

    10. Offering
Restrictions.  Except as previously disclosed in the SEC
Reports or in the Exchange Act Filings, or stock or stock options granted to
employees or directors of the Company (these exceptions hereinafter referred to
as the “Excepted
Issuances”), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will, prior
to the payment in full of the Obligations, (x) enter into any equity line of
credit agreement or similar agreement or (y) issue, or enter into any agreement
to issue, any securities with a variable/floating conversion and/or pricing
feature which are or could be (by conversion or registration) free-trading
securities (i.e.  common stock subject to a registration
statement).

     

    11. Miscellaneous.

     

    11.1 Governing Law, Jurisdiction
and Waiver of Jury Trial.

     

    (a) THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER RELATED AGREEMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

     

    (b) THE
COMPANY HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN
THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO
HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE COMPANY, ON THE ONE HAND,
AND ANY CREDITOR PARTY, ON THE OTHER HAND, PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OF THE RELATED AGREEMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER RELATED AGREEMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT EACH
CREDITOR PARTY AND THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS
MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE
OF NEW YORK; AND FURTHER PROVIDED, THAT,
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE ANY CREDITOR
PARTY FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION
TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL (AS DEFINED IN THE
MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT) OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED
IN THE MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT), OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER
IN FAVOR OF ANY CREDITOR PARTY.  THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND
CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY
SUCH COURT, AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE BASED
UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON
CONVENIENS.  THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE
SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH
IN SECTION 11.8 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE
EARLIER OF THE COMPANY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT
IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

     

    (c) THE
PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH
APPLICABLE LAWS.  THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL
RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE
ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN ANY
CREDITOR PARTY AND/OR THE COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER RELATED AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR
THERETO.

    11.2 Severability.  Wherever
possible each provision of this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement or any Related Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid or illegal under applicable law such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity or illegality,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
thereof which shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     

    11.3 Survival.  The
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive
any investigation made by any Creditor Party and the closing of the transactions
contemplated hereby to the extent provided therein.  All statements as
to factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the
Company hereunder solely as of the date of such certificate or
instrument.  All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the
execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the
making and repayment of the obligations arising hereunder, under the Notes and
under the other Related Agreements.

     

    11.4 Successors.

     

    (a) Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, heirs, executors and
administrators of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by each person or entity which shall be a holder of the Notes from
time to time, other than the holders of Common Stock which has been sold by any
Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration
statement.  Each Purchaser may assign any or all of the Obligations to
any Person and, subject to acceptance and recordation thereof by the Agent
pursuant to Section 11.4(b) and receipt by the Agent of a copy of the agreement
or instrument pursuant to which such assignment is made (each such agreement or
instrument, an “Assignment Agreement”), any such assignee shall succeed to all
of such Purchaser’s rights with respect thereto.  Upon such
assignment, such Purchaser shall be released from all responsibility for the
Collateral (as defined in the Master Security Agreement, the Stock Pledge
Agreement and each other security agreement, mortgage, cash collateral deposit
letter, pledge and other agreements which are executed by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries in favor of any Creditor Party) to the extent same is assigned
to any transferee.  Each Purchaser may from time to time sell or
otherwise grant participations in any of the Obligations (as defined in the
Master Security Agreement) and the holder of any such participation shall,
subject to the terms of any agreement between such Purchaser and such holder, be
entitled to the same benefits as such Purchaser with respect to any security for
the Obligations (as defined in the Master Security Agreement) in which such
holder is a participant.  The Company agrees that each such holder may
exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off and counterclaim with
respect to its participation in the Obligations (as defined in the Master
Security Agreement) as fully as though the Company were directly indebted to
such holder in the amount of such participation.  The Company may not
assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Agent.  All of the terms, conditions, promises,
covenants, provisions and warranties of this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of each of the undersigned, and shall bind the representatives,
successors and permitted assigns of the Company.

     

    (b) The Agent
shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, for this purpose only as agent of the
Company, (i) a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and (ii) a
registry within the meaning of US Treasury Regulation Section 15f.103-1(c) (the
“Register”), in
which it will register the name and address of each Purchaser and the name and
address of each assignee of each Purchaser under this Agreement, and the
principal amount of the Notes owing to each such Purchase pursuant to the terms
hereof and each Assignment Agreement.  The Company and each Creditor
Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a
Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary or any notation of
ownership or other writing or any Note.  The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Company or any Purchaser, at any reasonable time
and from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice.

     

    11.5 Entire Agreement; Maximum
Interest.  This Agreement, the Related Agreements, the exhibits
and schedules hereto and thereto and the other documents delivered pursuant
hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the
parties with regard to the subjects hereof and no party shall be liable or bound
to any other in any manner by any representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements except as specifically set forth herein and
therein.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement
or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall
be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other
charges in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  In
the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other
charges hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by such law, any payments in
excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to
the Purchasers and thus refunded to the Company.

     

    11.6 Amendment and
Waiver.

     

    (a) This
Agreement may be amended or modified only upon the written consent of the
Company and the Agent.

     

    (b) The
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Creditor Parties under this
Agreement may be waived only with the written consent of the Agent.

     

    (c) The
obligations of the Creditor Parties and the rights of the Company under this
Agreement may be waived only with the written consent of the
Company.

    11.7 Delays or
Omissions.  It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise
any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or
noncompliance by another party under this Agreement or the Related Agreements,
shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a
waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence
therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter
occurring.  All remedies, either under this Agreement or the Related
Agreements, by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and
not alternative.
