Dcca grant, a gif~ ~o the city which we int~.irn loaned to Canton Corp- oration, and also a$400,000, loan to the city by the federal goverr~ven.t which we in turn loaned to the Canton Corporatian. The city ha.s taken the positian thorought that the very least the federal tmn.ie~ ~uld not be suborc~inated to an.y other sec~ity interest. Security interest cm ~he H.H.S, was federal mmey on the land, read estate, improv~zts to ~he real esta.te, this wo~,tl.d be a first paramotmt and security in~erest ~h.ere would be no others before it, it would be paid first, and then any others in the ev~zt of default woul.d be paid secand. The bank group and the Cantan Corporation has asked and we have basically agreed as part of our participatian that we w~uld subordina.te th~ Dcca $400,000, to the following extent: In the event the Cantcm Corporati:on dr~esn't make it, and in the event we sell the plant and the real estate and the foreclosure, then to the extent the proceeds of that sale are insufficient to pay off the Dcca $400,000. ~cmnies, and in addition to th.at exten.t of $200,000, of other security we ha.ve is insufficient to pay off the Dcca manies then, and in that event, what ever would be remaining due and owing us uncler the Dcca. loan papers cvould be subordinated to the security interest that ~he bank group ha.s in the equipm~xit that's located in ~ the plant. Basica.lly, what were saying is...we won't go after the eq~ttipment that s in the plant if we dcm't recognize the full $800,000.
