satisfactory to Secured Party prior to the commencement of such storage. Debtor
shall, upon the request of Secured Party, notify any such warehouseman, bailee,
agent or processor of the Security Interests.

believed to be located and kept, to render the Collateral useable or saleable,
to remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of Secured Party or any agent
of Secured Party for such time as Secured Party may desire in order to
effectively collect or liquidate the Collateral, and/or to require Debtor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place or
places to be designated by Secured Party. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder, Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of

the safe custody thereof, Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to any
Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of any
agent or bailee) or with respect to any income thereon or the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
9
Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is
accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own
property. Secured Party shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or
damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by
reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency,
consignee or other agent or bailee selected by Secured Party in good faith.
11. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default as set forth herein, the proceeds of any sale
of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied (pro rata among each participant in the Secured Party based on the
indebtedness then owing): first, to all fees, costs and expenses incurred by
Secured Party with respect to the Collateral; and second, to the Secured
Obligations. Secured Party shall pay over to Debtor any surplus and Debtor shall
remain liable for any deficiency.
12. Expenses. Debtor agrees to pay all insurance expenses and all expenses
of protecting, storing, warehousing, appraising, insuring, handling, maintaining
and shipping the Collateral and any and all excise, property, sales and use
taxes imposed by any state, federal or local authority on any of the Collateral,
or with respect to periodic appraisals and inspections of the Collateral, or
with respect to the sale or other disposition thereof. If Debtor fails promptly
to pay any portion of the above expenses when due or to perform any other
obligation of Debtor under this Agreement, Secured Party may, at its option, but
shall not be required to, pay or perform the same, and Debtor agree to reimburse
Secured Party therefor on demand, or the Secured Party may deem it to be an
Event of Default. All sums so paid or incurred by Secured Party for any of the
foregoing, any and all other sums for which Debtor may become liable hereunder
and all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees, legal expenses and court
costs) incurred by Secured Party in enforcing or protecting the Security
Interests or any of their rights or remedies under this Agreement shall be
payable on demand, shall constitute Secured Obligations, shall bear interest
until paid at the rate provided in the Notes and shall be secured by the
Collateral.
13. Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral. Upon payment
in full of all Secured Obligations or upon the conversion of all principal
outstanding under the Notes and all interest accrued thereon into shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Debtor, the Security Interests
shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Debtor. Upon
such termination of the Security Interests or release of any Collateral, Secured
Party will, at the expense of, and preparation by, the Debtor, execute and
deliver to Debtor such documents as Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence
the termination of the Security Interests or the release of such Collateral, as
the case may be.

other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the
performance or observance by Debtor of any term of this Agreement, the ARI or
the Notes may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written specific
consent of Secured Party. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not
expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or
delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or
demand upon Debtor shall entitle Debtor to other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances. The rights in this Agreement, the ARI and the
Notes are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by
law. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement shall not affect or impair the validity,
legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this
Agreement.
15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit of Secured
Party and its successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of all
or any of the Secured Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent
applicable to the Secured Obligations so assigned, may be transferred with such
Secured Obligations. This Agreement shall be binding on Debtor and its
successors and assigns, provided that Debtor shall not assign this Agreement
without Secured Party's prior written consent.
16. Changes in Writing. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Debtor
therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of
Secured Party and Debtor.
17. Governing Law/Venue/Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be exclusively
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof. Each of the
parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court
sitting in the Southern District of the State of New York sitting in Manhattan
in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives,
to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection
