REMEDIES
Section

of Realizing Upon the Pledged Property: Other Remedies.
If
any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
4
(a) The
Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Property, in addition
to
any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to
it,
all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code
(whether or not the Code applies to the affected Pledged Property), and also
may
(i) take absolute control of the Pledged Property, including, without
limitation, transfer into the Secured Party's name or into the name of its
nominee or nominees (to the extent the Secured Party has not theretofore done
so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Secured Party, all payments
made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof
and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner
thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to assemble all or part of the Pledged
Property as directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured
Party at a place or places to be designated by the Secured Party that is
reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Secured Party may enter into
and
occupy any premises owned or leased by a Grantor where the Pledged Property
or
any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to
effectuate the Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder or under law,
without obligation to the Grantor in respect of such occupation, and
(iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation
to prepare or process the Pledged Property for sale, (A) sell the Pledged
Property or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any of the Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or
for
future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the
Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or
dispose of the Pledged Property or any part thereof upon such terms as the
Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to
the
extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Pledged Property shall
be
required by law, at least ten (10) days' notice to the Grantor of the time
and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other
disposition of the Pledged Property is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale or
other
disposition of any Pledged Property regardless of notice of sale having been
given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Property
may
have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the
Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and
does
not offer such Pledged Property to more than one offeree, and waives all rights
that the Grantor may have to require that all or any part of such Pledged
Property be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor
hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the Pledged Property by the
Secured Party may be made without warranty, (ii) the Secured Party may
specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment
or
the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such
sale
of Pledged Property.
(b) Any
cash
held by the Secured Party as Pledged Property and all cash proceeds received
by
the Secured Party in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Property shall be applied
(after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section
8.3 hereof) by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations
in
such order as the Secured Party shall elect, consistent with the provisions
of
the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds
held by the Secured Party and remaining after the indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
shall direct.
(c) In
the
event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled,
each Grantor shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together
with interest thereon at the increased rate as specified in the Bridge Notes
for
interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed
by
applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees,
costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the
Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(d) Each
Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies with any
applicable state, provincial, or federal law requirements in connection with
a
disposition of the Pledged Property, such compliance will not adversely affect
the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged
Property.
(e) The
Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Pledged
Property) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of
them
or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in
any
particular order, and all of the Secured Party's rights hereunder and in respect
of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent
that the Grantor lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not
invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay
in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party's rights under this Agreement
or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations
or
under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the
extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby irrevocably waives the benefits
of all such laws.

to
the return, at its expense, of such of the Pledged Property as shall not have
been sold in accordance with Section 5.2
hereof
or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and the Secured Party shall
deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request
to
evidence such termination.

covenant and irrevocably submit to the in personam
jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and
State of New York and agree that any process in any such action may be served
upon any of them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them
or their agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect
as
if personally served upon them in New York City. The parties hereto waive any
claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit
or
proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam
jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or
proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from
the
other party hereto of all of its reasonable legal fees and expenses.,
Provided,
however,
that
nothing herein or elsewhere shall prevent the Secured Party from enforcing
its
rights and remedies (including, without limitation, by filing a civil action)
with respect to the Pledged Property and/or the Grantors in any other
jurisdiction in which the Pledged Property and/or the Grantors may be
located.
13

A
FURTHER INDUCEMENT FOR THE SECURED PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND TO

At
any time, without demand or notice, the Secured Party may set off the same
or
any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of the
Grantors even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other
collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE SECURED
PARTY TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL
WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH
RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE GRANTORS, ARE HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
