obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Lender shall have no
obligation or liability under any Contract or License by reason of or arising
out of this Security Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the
receipt by Lender of any payment relating to any Contract or License pursuant
hereto. Lender shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or
fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract
or License, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or
the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any
performance by any party under any Contract or License, or to present or file
any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the
payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.
(b) Lender may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and
be continuing, without prior notice to any Grantor, notify Account Debtors and
other Persons obligated on the Collateral that Lender has a security interest
therein, and that payments shall be made directly to Lender. Upon the request of
Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on

Person obligated on the Collateral, the affected Grantor shall not give any
contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without Lender's

to verify with such Persons, to Lender's satisfaction, the existence, amount
terms of, and any other matter relating to, any such Accounts, Contracts,
Instruments or Chattel Paper and/or payment intangibles. If a Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor, at its own

Security Agreement and the Liens granted hereby. If any Grantor retains
possession of any Chattel Paper or Instruments with Lender's consent, such
Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be marked with the following legend: "This
writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the
security interest of GNB Bank Panama S.A., as Lender".
(c) Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.
---------------------------------------------------------------
(i) Grantors shall notify Lender immediately if they know or have
reason to know that any application or registration relating to any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or
dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including the
institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States
Copyright Office or any court) regarding any Grantor's ownership of any
Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep
and maintain the same.
(ii) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any
agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the
registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any
similar office or agency without giving Lender prior written notice
thereof.
(iii) Grantors shall take all actions necessary or requested by
Lender to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant
registration and to maintain the registration of each of the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing
of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of
noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation
proceedings.
(iv) In the event that any of the Patent, Trademark or Copyright
Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third
party, such Grantor shall comply with Section 5(a)(vii) of this Security
Agreement. Such Grantor shall, unless such Grantor shall reasonably
determine that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral is in no way
material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly xxx for
infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all
damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take
such other actions as Lender shall deem appropriate under the circumstances
to protect such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral.
(d) Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by
Lender relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or to
enforce
13
any rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor will save, indemnify and
keep Lender harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense,
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the
Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a
breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other
agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such
obligor or its successors from such Grantor, except to the extent such expense,
loss, or damage is attributable solely to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
All such obligations of Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and
only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable against Lender.
(e) Compliance with Terms of Accounts, etc. In all material respects,
each Grantor will perform and comply with all obligations in respect of the
Collateral and all other agreements to which it is a party or by which it is
bound relating to the Collateral.
(f) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. No Grantor will create, permit
or suffer to exist, and each Grantor will defend the Collateral against, and
take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral
except Permitted Encumbrances, and will defend the right, title and interest of
Lender in and to any of such Grantor's rights under the Collateral against the
claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(g) Limitations on Disposition. No Grantor will sell, license, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt or contract
to do so except as permitted herein or in the Loan Agreement.
(h) Further Identification of Collateral. Grantors will, if so
requested by Lender, furnish to Lender, as often as Lender requests, statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as Lender may reasonably request, all
in such detail as Lender may specify.
(i) Notices. Grantors will advise Lender promptly, in reasonable
detail, (i) of any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) or claim made or
asserted against any of the Collateral, and (ii) of the occurrence of any other
event which would have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the
Collateral or on the Liens created hereunder.
(j) Good Standing Certificates. Not less frequently than once during
each calendar semester, unless Lender shall otherwise consent, provide to Lender
a certificate of good standing from its state of incorporation or organization.
(k) No Reincorporation. Without limiting the negative covenants
provided under the Loan Agreement, no Grantor shall reincorporate or reorganize
itself
14
under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which it is
incorporated or organized as of the date hereof without the prior written
consent of Lender.
(l) Terminations; Amendments Not Authorized. Each Grantor acknowledges
that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or
termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior
written consent of Lender and agrees that it will not do so without the prior
written consent of Lender, subject to such Grantor's rights under Section
9-509(d)(2) of the Code.
6. LENDER'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
-----------------------------------------
On the date hereof each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Lender a
power of attorney (the "Power of Attorney") substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of
Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the
Secured Obligations have been paid in full. The powers conferred on Lender under
the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender
agrees that (a) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of
Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power
of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b)
Lender shall account for any moneys received by Lender in respect of any
foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney
provided that Lender shall not have any duty as to any Collateral, and Lender
shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of
the exercise of such powers. NEITHER LENDER NOR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY
GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE,
EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES.
7. REMEDIES: RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
------------------------------
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under
this Security Agreement and the Loan Agreement and under any other instrument or
agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, if
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may exercise
all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such
event Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to
the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable
15
law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral
is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining
a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and
opportunity for a hearing on Lender's claim or action and may collect, receive,
assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or
options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral
(or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public
or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem
acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales
and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to
purchase for the benefit Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so
sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each
Grantor hereby specifically waives and releases. Such sales may be adjourned and
continued from time to time with or without notice. Lender shall have the right
to conduct such sales on any Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the
right to use any Grantor's premises without charge for such time or times as
Lender deems necessary or advisable.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continued, each
Grantor further agrees, at Lender's request, to assemble the Collateral and make
it available to Lender at a place or places designated by Lender which are
reasonably convenient to Lender and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor's
premises or elsewhere. Until Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other
disposition of Collateral, Lender shall have the right to hold or use
Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the
purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed
appropriate by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to any Grantor to
maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with
respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Lender. Lender
may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take
possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Lender's remedies (for the
benefit of Lender), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or
hearing as to such appointment. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Secured
Obligations, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the
payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, need
Lender account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and
demands against Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the
Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Lender of the time and
place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take
place is reasonable notification of such matters. Grantors shall remain liable
for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys' fees
and other expenses incurred by Lender to collect such deficiency.
16
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor
hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security
Agreement or any Collateral.
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to
exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges
and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (i) to fail
to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare
Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in
process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to
fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or
third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be
collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against
Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on
or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies
against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or
through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to
contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for
expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral,
(vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition
of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii)
to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the
auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the
reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets,
(ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to
disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,
(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender against
risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the
Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or
(xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of
other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist
the Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each
Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender would not
be commercially unreasonable in the Lender's exercise of remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed
commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section 7(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Section 7(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose
any duties on Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this
Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).
(d) Lender shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or
exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor,
17
guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the
Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with
respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof.
Lenders shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the
Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any
particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under the Loan
Agreement shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor
absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of,
and covenants not to assert against Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement,
extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may
have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might
be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or
decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this
Security Agreement, or otherwise.
8. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. For the
purpose of enabling Lender to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7
hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 7 hereof, in order to
take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market
for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as Lender shall
be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby
grants to Lender an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without
payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or
sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license
access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout
thereof.
9. LIMITATION ON LENDER'S DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL. Lender shall
use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under
its control. Lender shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of
Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
10. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or
against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become
insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or
should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any
Grantor's assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations,
or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in
amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured
Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event
18
that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by
such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11. NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is
provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration
or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the
parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and
serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Security
Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or
other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and
deemed received, as provided for in the Loan Agreement.
12. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Security
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating
the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security
Agreement. This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together
with the Loan Agreement which, taken together, set forth the complete
understanding and agreement of Lender and Grantors with respect to the matters
referred to herein and therein.
13. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Lender shall not by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Lender and
then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Lender of any right or
remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No
failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Lender, any
right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are
cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of
any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this
Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing, duly executed by Lender and Grantors.
14. LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this
Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof
does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this
Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory
provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they shall not
19
render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any
applicable law.
15. TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. Subject to Section 10
hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon payment in full of the
secured Obligations.
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and all obligations
of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each
Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and
shall, together with the rights and remedies of Lender, hereunder, inure to the
benefit of Lender, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the
Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of
participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any
agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any
portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted
to Lender hereunder. No Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number
of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately
constitute one agreement.
18. GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY
AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE,
AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY
CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY,
CITY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR
AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTORS AND LENDER PERTAINING TO
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT LENDERS AND GRANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM
THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY,
AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO
PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL
20
OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR
OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF LENDER. EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND
CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY
SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED
UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND
HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED
APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE
SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH
ON SECTION 8.1 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED
COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER
DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.
19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH
COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN
EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL
LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES
ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH
APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG LENDER AND GRANTORS
ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP
ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN AGREEMENT.
20. SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in this Security
Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind
whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.
21. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated
jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event
an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.
21
22. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents to each other
party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and, specifically,
the provisions of Section 18 and Section 19, with its counsel.
23. BENEFIT OF LENDER. All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall
be for the benefit of Lender, and all proceeds or payments realized from
Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Secured Obligations.
22
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Security
Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the
date first set forth above.

EXHIBIT A
---------
POWER OF ATTORNEY
-----------------
This Power of Attorney is executed and delivered by
______________________, a _____________________ corporation ("Grantor") to GNB
Bank Panama S.A., a bank organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama
(hereinafter referred to as "Attorney"), as Lender, under a Loan Agreement and a
Security Agreement, both dated as of September 30, 2002 (collectively, the "Loan
Documents"). No person to whom this Power of Attorney is presented, as authority
for Attorney to take any action or actions contemplated hereby, shall be
required (including in respect of clauses (d) and (e) in the next succeeding
paragraph) to inquire into or seek confirmation from Grantor as to the authority
of Attorney to take any action described below, or as to the existence of or
fulfillment of any condition to this Power of Attorney, which is intended to
grant to Attorney unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions
contemplated herein, and Grantor irrevocable waives any right to commence any
suit or action, in law or equity, against any person or entity which acts in
reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this Power of
Attorney. The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest, and
may not be revoked or canceled by Grantor without Attorney's written consent.
Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Attorney
(and all officers, employees or agents designated by Attorney), with full power
of substitution, as Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the
name of Grantor or in its own name, from time to time in Attorney's discretion,
to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all
documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the
purposes of the Loan Documents and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Grantor hereby grants to Attorney the power and right, on behalf of
Grantor, without notice to or assent by Grantor, (other than in connection with
a change of address as specified in clause (a), as to which Attorney shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to give Grantor concurrent notice thereof
