in
favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting
any
of the Collateral. So long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company

(except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement).
(d) No
part
of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable. No written claim

first priority security interest in such Collateral. Except for the filing
of
financing statements on Form-1 under the UCC with the jurisdictions indicated
on
Schedule
B,
attached hereto, no authorization or approval of or filing with or notice to
any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant
by the Company of, or the effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby

or (ii) for the perfection of or exercise by the Secured Party of its rights
and
remedies hereunder.

date of execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to the Secured
Party one or more executed UCC financing statements on Form-1 with respect

the Security Interest for filing with the jurisdictions indicated on
Schedule

Secured Party.
(h) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with
or
cause a breach or default, or an event that with or without the passage of
time
or notice, shall constitute a breach or default, under any agreement to which
the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound. No consent (including,
without limitation, from stock holders or creditors of the Company) is required
for the Company to enter into and perform its obligations
hereunder.
(i) The
Company shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided
for

safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Party.

Secured Party at any time or from time to time one or more financing statements

all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Secured Party to
be,
necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall pay all
fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the
Security Interest hereunder, and the Company shall obtain and furnish to the
Secured Party from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or
subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the

interest therein.

with interest thereon, at the rate of 15% per annum (the "Default
Rate"),
and
the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect
such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives
all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the
repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due to the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party.

claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party might
prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interest
therein. The Company will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount
of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses
of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur
in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody
or
preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon,
any
of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights
of
the Secured Party under the Debentures. Until so paid, any fees payable
hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Debentures and shall
bear interest at the Default Rate.

for Collateral.
The
Company assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all
Collateral, and the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Debentures
shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction,
damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason.
7
10. Security
Interest Absolute.
All
rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations of the Company hereunder, shall
be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, the Debentures or any agreement entered into
in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver
of or any consent to any departure from the Debentures or any other agreement
entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or
nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver
of
or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guaranty, or
any
other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured
Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance
claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e)
any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable
defense available to the Company, or a discharge of all or any part of the
Security Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid
and
performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the
Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the
running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Company expressly
waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment
and
demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any
Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be
deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a
voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency
laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party
other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Company's obligations
hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of
this
Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Company waives all right
to
require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any
Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets,
or to pursue any other remedy. The Company waives any defense arising by reason
of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured
hereby.

Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all
payments under the Debentures have been made in full and all other Obligations
have been paid or discharged. Upon such termination, the Secured Party, at
the
request and at the expense of the Company, will join in executing any
termination statement with respect to any financing statement executed and
filed
pursuant to this Agreement.

Company authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and
appoint it, and its respective officers, agents, successors or assigns with
