Moreover, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to, and each Grantor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right that it may have to require Lender to (i) clean up or otherwise prepare any of the Collateral for sale, (ii) pursue any Person to collect any of the Obligations or (iii) exercise collection remedies against any Persons obligated on the Collateral. Lender's compliance with applicable local, state or federal law requirements, in addition to those imposed by the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction, in connection with a disposition of any or all of the Collateral will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any disposition of any or all of the Collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction.

        8.2    Notice of Disposition; Allocations.    If any notice is required by law to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, (i) Lender will give the applicable Grantor(s) written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made, and at any such public or private sale, Lender may purchase all or any of the Collateral; and (ii) Lender and each Grantor agree that such notice will not be unreasonable as to time if given in compliance with this Agreement ten days prior to any sale or other disposition. The proceeds of the sale will be applied first to all costs and expenses of such sale including attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses, and second to the payment of all Obligations in the manner and order determined by Lender in its discretion. Each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable to Lender and the Lenders for any deficiency. Unless otherwise directed by law, Lender will return any excess to Grantors.

        8.3    Payment of Expenses.    Grantors shall, jointly and severally, pay to Lender, on its demand, all costs and expenses, including court costs, attorneys' fees and costs of sale, incurred by Lender in exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder, all of which constitute part of the Obligations and are secured by the Collateral.

9.    INDEMNIFICATION.    In consideration of the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement and the making of the Loan to Grantors, each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold Lender and each of Lender's directors, affiliates and agents (for the purposes of this Section 9 each is an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, obligations and liabilities arising out of or resulting from any or all of (i) this Agreement and (ii) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), except for claims, losses or liabilities to the extent resulting from an Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification or insurance provided by any Grantor to Lender.

10.    NOTICE.    Any notice, certificate, request, notification and other communication required, permitted or contemplated hereunder must be in writing and given in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Loan Agreement.

10

11.    GENERAL.

        11.1    Severability.    If any term of this Agreement is found invalid under California law or other laws of mandatory application by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid term will be considered excluded from this Agreement and will not invalidate the remaining terms of this Agreement.

        11.2    GOVERNING LAW.    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (WITHOUT REGARD TO CALIFORNIA CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES).

        11.3    Survival and Continuation of Representations and Warranties.    All of each Grantor's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall (i) survive the execution, delivery and acceptance hereof by the parties hereto and the closing of the transactions described herein or related hereto and (ii) shall be brought down from time to time as provided in the Loan Agreement.

        11.4    Lender's Additional Rights Regarding Collateral.    All of the Obligations shall constitute one obligation secured by all of the Collateral. In addition to Lender's other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, Lender may, in its discretion exercised in good faith, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement: (i) exchange, enforce, waive or release any of the Collateral or portion thereof, (ii) apply the proceeds of the Collateral against the Obligations and direct the order or manner of the liquidation thereof (including any sale or other disposition), as Lender may, from time to time, in each instance determine, and (iii) settle, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate any such security in any manner without affecting or impairing its right to take any other further action with respect to any security or any part thereof.

        11.5    Application of Payments; Revival of Obligations.    Lender shall have the continuing right to apply or reverse and reapply any payments to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent any Grantor makes a payment or payments to Lender or Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral or any other security for any Grantor's benefit, which payment(s) or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently voided, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee; receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and shall continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

        11.6    Additional Waivers by Grantors.    Each Grantor waives presentment and protest of any instrument and notice thereof, and, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, demand, notice of default and all other notices to which such Grantor might otherwise be entitled. No Grantor shall assert any claim against Lender on any theory of liability for consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages.

        11.7    Equitable Relief.    Each Grantor recognizes that, in the event any Grantor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender; therefore, each Grantor agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

        11.8    Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Fax Signatures.    This Agreement and the other Loan Documents set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all previous understandings, written or oral, in respect thereof. Any request from time to time by any Grantor for Lender's consent under any provision in the Loan Documents must be in writing, and any consent to be provided by Lender under the Loan Documents from time to time must be in writing in order to be binding on Lender; however, Lender will have no obligation to provide any consent requested by any Grantor, and Lender may, for any reason in its discretion

11

exercised in good faith, elect to withhold the requested consent. Two or more duplicate originals of this Agreement may be signed by the parties, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any documents delivered by, or on behalf of, any Grantor by fax transmission (i) may be relied on by Lender as if the document were a manually signed original and (ii) will be binding on such Grantor for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

        11.9    Headings.    Section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not relate to the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

        11.10    Cumulative Remedies.    The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Exercise of one or more remedy(ies) by Lender does not require that all or any other remedy(ies) be exercised and does not preclude later exercise of the same remedy.

        11.11    Waivers and Amendments in Writing.    Failure by Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or in any Loan Documents or delay by Lender in exercising the same shall not operate as a waiver by Lender of its right to exercise any such right, remedy or option. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in a writing signed by Lender and each Grantor affected thereby and may not be amended, modified, supplanted or otherwise changed orally.

        11.12    Recourse to Directors or Officers.    The obligations of each party under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of each party. No recourse shall be had for any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any stockholder, employee, officer, or director of each party.

        11.13    Assignment.    Lender shall have the right to assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Loan Agreement. No Grantor may assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, and any such assignment, transfer or other disposition without Lender's written consent shall be void. All of the rights, privileges, remedies and options given to Lender under the Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Lender, and all the terms, conditions, covenants, provisions and warranties herein shall inure to the benefit of and bind the permitted successors and assigns of each Grantor and Lender, respectively.

        11.14    Conflict.    If there is any conflict, ambiguity, or inconsistency, in Lender's judgment, between the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, then the applicable terms and provisions, in Lender's judgment, providing Lender with greater rights, remedies, powers, privileges, or benefits will control.

        11.15    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.    AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR TE LENDERS AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES TO EXTEND CREDIT TO GRANTORS, EACH GRANTOR AND LENDER EACH WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN RESPECT OF OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LENDER AND GRANTORS.

        11.16    Release of Lien.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Loan Document, the Lender agrees that, (a) upon the repayment in full of the Obligations of the Grantors under the Loan Agreement and the Note, the Lender shall take all such actions and execute all such releases as are requested by the Grantors (at the Grantors' expense) to release the Lender's Lien upon the Collateral; and (b) any sale or transfer of assets of any Grantor permitted under the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement or otherwise permitted by the Senior Lender shall be made free and clear of the Lender's Lien, and the Lender shall take all such actions and execute all such releases as are requested by the Grantors (at the Grantors' expense) to release the Lender's Lien upon the Collateral that is subject to such sale.
