Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of
this Agreement do not contravene Debtor's constating documents,
or 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
4
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

regulatory body is required for the grant by Debtor of the
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

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

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