Document" under the Financing Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an Event
of
Default under the Financing Agreement if any representation or warranty made
by

contained

any
collateral as security for the Obligations of the Company from time to time
existing in respect of the Financing Agreement and the Loan Documents, such
pledge, assignment and/or grant of a lien is hereby ratified and confirmed
in
all respects.
