Obligations, whether or not the same shall then be due. The Debtor retains all
liability and responsibility in connection with the Equipment and the liability
of the Debtor to pay the Secured Obligations shall in no way be affected or
diminished by reason of the fact that such Equipment may be lost, destroyed,
stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the Debtor.

Debtor. The Debtor will pay all applicable filing fees and related expenses in
connection with any such financing statements.

and cancel any documentary tax stamps required by and in accordance with,
applicable law and the Debtor will indemnify and hold the Secured Party harmless
