(J) no
default or event of default under the terms of the sale giving rise to such
Installment Sales Receivables has occurred and is continuing, other than a

deferred payment programs pursuant to which the initial payment in respect
thereof is not due within thirty (30) days of the shipment of the Inventory the
sale of which gave rise to such Installment Sales Receivable.
No

respect. Any Installment Sales Receivables that are not Eligible
Installment Sales Receivables shall nevertheless be part of the
Collateral.

or precedent upon which any claim or liability may be
asserted. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that, to the
extent any such claims may exist, they are of a speculative nature so as to be
incapable of objective valuation and that, in any event, the value to Borrower

materially exceeds any and all value of any kind or nature whatsoever of any
such claims. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees Bank is in no way
responsible or liable for the previous, current or future condition or
deterioration of the business operations and/or financial condition of Borrower
and that Bank has not breached any agreement or commitment to loan money or
otherwise make financial accommodations available to Borrower or to fund any

demand, action or cause of action that Borrower has or ever had against
Bank.

benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; and
may be executed and then delivered via facsimile transmission, via the sending
of .pdf or other copies thereof via email and in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. A default by Borrower under this
