---------------------
The records of the Lender as to the amount outstanding hereunder, or
as to payment of any money payable hereunder or any part thereof being in
default or of any demand for payment having been made shall be prima facie proof
of such fact.
10.2 Judgment Currency
-----------------
If any amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or in connection
herewith is received by the Lender in a currency (the "Payment Currency") other
than lawful money of the United States (the "Obligation Currency") whether as a
result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or otherwise, any
amount produced by converting the Payment Currency so received, at the time of
receipt into the Obligation Currency is less than the relevant amount of the
Obligation Currency, then the Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify
the Lender for the deficiency and in respect of any loss sustained as a result.
The said indemnity will constitute a separate covenant and obligation of the
Borrowers independent from the Borrowers' other covenants and obligations.
10.3 Waiver or Modification
----------------------
No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercise of any power
or rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of such right or power preclude any other right or power
hereunder. No amendment, modification or waiver of any condition of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless
20
the same shall be in writing signed by the Lender and nothing contained in this
Agreement may be varied, modified, abrogated, altered or compromised except by
written agreement of all parties.
10.4 Time of Essence
---------------
Time shall be of the essence hereof.
10.5 Expenses
--------
The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all costs,
charges and expenses paid or incurred at any time or from time to time by the
Lender for or in respect of the preparation of this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, and for and in respect of any and all acts, actions and proceedings
(including legal proceedings) for the exercise, enforcement or preservation of
any of its rights, remedies or recourse hereunder and under the Ancillary
Agreements.
10.6 Assignment
----------
The Borrowers shall have no right to assign or transfer their rights
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may assign
or transfer any or all of its rights or interest hereunder or under the Loan and
the Ancillary Agreements without the prior written consent of the Borrowers.
10.7 Appropriation of Monies Received
--------------------------------
The Lender may upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default appropriate any monies received by it from the Borrowers or
from any security held by the Lender in or toward payment of such of the
obligations of the Borrowers as the Lender in its sole discretion may see fit.
10.8 Non-Merger
----------
The taking of any action or dealing whatsoever by the Lender in
respect of any one or more of the Borrowers or any security held by the Lender
shall not operate as a merger of any of the obligations of the Borrowers to the
Lender or in any way suspend payment or affect or prejudice the rights, remedies
and powers, legal or equitable, which the Lender may have in connection with
such obligations, and the surrender, cancellation dealing with the said security
or any part thereof shall not release or affect the obligations of the Borrowers
or any one of them or prejudice any other part of the said security.

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party may do any of the
following:
(a) appoint by instrument a receiver, receiver and manager or
receiver-manager (the person so appointed being hereinafter called the

Party may determine, and from time to time in its absolute discretion
remove such Receiver and appoint another in its stead;

Party may deem advisable;
(d) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral,
whether by public or private sale or lease or otherwise, in such
manner, at such price as can be reasonably obtained therefor and on
such terms as to credit and with such conditions of sale and
stipulations as to title or conveyance or evidence of title or
otherwise as to the Secured Party may seem reasonable, provided that
if any sale, lease or other disposition is on credit the Debtor will
not be entitled to
9
be credited with the proceeds of such sale, lease or other disposition
until the monies therefor are actually received; and
(e) exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Act.
12.2 A Receiver appointed pursuant to this Security Agreement shall be the
agent of the Debtor and not of the Secured Party and, to the extent permitted by
law or to such lesser extent permitted by its appointment, shall have all the
powers of the Secured Party hereunder, and in addition shall have power to carry
on the business of the Debtor and for such purpose from time to time to borrow
money either secured or unsecured, and if secured by a security interest on any
Collateral, such security interest may rank before or pari passu with or behind
any of the Security Interests created by this Security Agreement, and if it does
not so specify such security interest shall rank in priority to the Security
Interests created by this Security Agreement.
12.3 Subject to the claims, if any, of the creditors of the Debtor ranking
in priority to this Security Agreement, all amounts realized from the
disposition of Collateral pursuant to this Security Agreement will be applied as
the Secured Party, in its absolute discretion, may direct, as follows:

and disbursements on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred by
the Secured Party in connection with or incidental to:
(i) the exercise by the Secured Party of all or any of the powers
granted to it pursuant to this Security Agreement; and

of all or any of the powers granted to it pursuant to this
Security Agreement, including the Receiver's reasonable
remuneration and all outgoings properly payable by the Receiver;

monies (except interest) due in respect of the Obligations;

unpaid in respect of the Obligations.
Subject to applicable law and the claims, if any, of other creditors of the
Debtor, any surplus will be paid to the Debtor.
10
13. DEFICIENCY
----------
13.1 If the amounts realized from the disposition of the Collateral are not

do such other acts and things, all as Secured Party may request, to
establish and maintain a valid, perfected security interest in the
Collateral.
(b) As long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, Debtor will not (i) permit

the Collateral to be levied upon under legal process; (iii) sell,
transfer, lease, or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or
any interest therein, or offer so to do, without the prior written
consent of Secured Party other than inventory in the ordinary course
of business; (iv) permit anything to be done that may impair the value
of any of the Collateral or the security intended to be afforded by
this Agreement; or (v) permit the Collateral to be or become an

obligation hereunder, legal, valid and binding.

possesses all Collateral presently held by it, and has good title
thereto, free from all security interests, charges, encumbrances,
liens and claims, save only for Permitted Encumbrances, and the Debtor

Collateral, notify the Secured Party thereof and furnish to the
Secured Party at the Debtor's expense any necessary proof and do any
