sums resulting from any such sale shall be paid to the Debtor.
6. GENERAL AGREEMENTS.
(a) Debtor agrees to allow the Creditors, through the
representative of Creditors, at all reasonable times, to examine or inspect any
of the Collateral and to examine, inspect and make extracts from the books and
records of Debtor relating to the Collateral.
(b) Debtor promptly will pay when due all taxes and assessments
upon the Collateral or for its use or operation or upon the Proceeds thereof or
upon this Agreement or upon any instrument or instruments evidencing the
Liabilities, except such taxes the amount, applicability or validity of which
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to
which the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with
respect to such taxes as are required by GAAP.
(c) At their option, the Creditors may discharge taxes, liens or
Security Interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the
Collateral, and obtain insurance and pay for the maintenance and preservation of
the Collateral, and the Debtor agrees to reimburse the Creditors on demand for
any payment made or any expense incurred by the Creditors pursuant to the
foregoing authorization, including counsel fees and disbursements incurred or
expended by the Creditors in connection with this Agreement.
(d) Debtor hereby authorizes the Creditors to file financing
statements under the Uniform Commercial Code and any amendments thereto or
extensions thereof without the signature of Debtor. Such authorization is
limited to the Security Interest granted by this Agreement.
(e) The Creditors shall not be deemed to have waived any of their
rights hereunder or under any other agreement, instrument or paper signed by the
Debtor unless such waiver is in writing and signed by a majority of the
Creditors. No delay or omission on the part of the Creditors in exercising any
right shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right. A waiver upon any
one occasion shall not be construed as a bar or a waiver of any right or remedy
on any future occasion. All of the rights and remedies of the Creditors, whether
evidenced hereby or by the Note or other instrument or paper, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.

7. EXECUTION BY CREDITOR.
This Agreement shall take effect immediately upon execution by the
Debtor, and the execution hereof by the Creditors shall not be required as a
condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement. The provision for execution of
this Agreement by the Creditors is only for purposes of filing this Agreement as
a Security Agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code, if execution hereof by
the Creditors is required for such purposes.
8. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; ASSIGNMENT.
This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in
the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in
full of the Liabilities and such time as the Notes shall not remain outstanding.
If at any time or times, by sale, assignment, negotiation, pledge or otherwise,
Creditors shall transfer any Liability or Liabilities, which Creditors shall at
all times be free to do, such transfer shall carry with it Creditor's rights,
powers and remedies under this Agreement with respect to the Liability
transferred, and the transferee shall become vested with such rights and
remedies whether or not they are specifically referred to in the transfer,
unless, and then only to the extent, that the terms of such transfer otherwise
provide. If and to the extent Creditors retain any other Liability or
Liabilities, Creditors shall continue to have the rights, powers and remedies
herein set forth with respect thereto.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor, its successors and assigns,
and shall inure to the benefit of the Creditors and their heirs, executors,
beneficiaries, successors and assigns. Debtor shall not assign this Agreement
except with the express written consent of Creditors. No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by Debtor
herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Creditors, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. If
one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be prohibited, invalid or
unenforceable under applicable law, such provision will be effective to the
fullest extent possible excluding the terms affected by such prohibition,
invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If the prohibition,
invalidity or unenforceability referred to in the prior sentence requires such
provision to be excluded from this Agreement in its entirety, the balance of
this Agreement will be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and
will be enforceable in accordance with its terms. This Agreement and the rights
and obligations of the Creditors and Debtor hereunder shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York,
except only to the extent that the validity or perfection of the Security
Interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular
Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of
New York. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as the Note has been fully
paid or converted in accordance with its terms.
