Agreement, grant to the Secured Party a valid security
interest in the Collateral and perform all of its obligations
under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance
by Debtor of this Agreement do not contravene Debtor's
constating documents, or
4
violate any provision of any statute, law, rule, regulation,
judgment, order or decree and will not conflict with, or
constitute a breach or default under, any indenture, loan
agreement, contract or other agreement or instrument to which
Debtor is a party or by which Debtor or any of its property is
bound.
(c) No authorization, consent or approval or other action by, and
no notice to or other filing with, any governmental authority

security interest granted hereby, the due execution and
delivery by Debtor of this Agreement or the performance by
Debtor of any of its obligations hereunder, except filing of a
financing statement in the office of the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware.
(d) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Debtor
and is Debtor's legal, valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against Debtor in accordance with its terms,
subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating
to or affecting the enforceability of rights of creditors
generally and to general equitable principles that may limit
the right to obtain equitable remedies. This Agreement creates
in Secured Party's favor a valid and, upon the filing of an
appropriate financing statement in the office of the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware, perfected (to the extent
perfection is obtained by the filing of such financing
statement) lien on and security interest in the Collateral,
enforceable against Debtor and all third parties and superior

Secured Party to cure any default in payment or performance by
Debtor with respect to Intangible Collateral; provided,
however, that the Secured Party shall be under no obligation

deductions; and (c) Debtor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
