                                    (a)        Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, immediately and without notice or other action to set-off against any Obligations any money owed by Lender (or any affiliate of Lender) in any capacity to Borrower, including, without limitation money in any credit or deposit account, whether or not then due, and Lender shall deemed to have exercised such right of set off and to have made a charge against any such money immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default even though the actual book entries may be made at a time subsequent thereto.

                                    (b)        If other lenders, including without limitation, affiliates of Lender, have participated with Lender with respect to loans to Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, then, Borrower hereby authorizes such other participating lenders, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, immediately and without notice or other action, at the request of Lender, to set off against any of Borrower's liabilities to Lender any money owed by such participating lenders in any capacity to Borrower, whether or not due, and to remit the monies set-off to Lender.

                        8.3       Cumulative Remedies; Waivers.   No remedy referred to herein is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lender at law or in equity.  No express or implied waiver by Lender of any default or Event of Default hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent default or Event of Default.  The failure or delay of Lender in exercising any rights granted it hereunder upon any occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth herein shall not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or recurrence of any such contingencies or similar contingencies and any single or

27


partial exercise of any particular right by Lender shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein.  The Events of Default and remedies provided herein are in addition to and are not restrictive of and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies of Lender provided under the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, or other applicable law.

                        8.4       Waive Jury Trial   Lender and Borrower hereby waive all right to a trial by jury in any litigation relating to this Agreement, the Relevant Documents or other agreements or instruments between them.

                        8.6       No Marshaling.   Lender shall be under no obligation whatsoever to proceed first against any of the Collateral before proceeding against any other of the Collateral.  It is expressly understood and agreed that all of the Collateral stands as equal security for all Obligations, and that Lender shall have the right to proceed against any or all of the Collateral in any order, or simultaneously, as in its sole and absolute discretion it shall determine.  It is further understood and agreed that Lender shall have the right, as it in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine to sell any or all of the Collateral in any order or simultaneously.

            9.         WAIVERS, CONSENTS

                        9.1       Waivers.   Borrower waives demand, presentment, notice of dishonor or protest of any instruments either of Borrower or others which may be included in the Collateral.

                                    (a)        To any extension, postponement of time of payment, indulgence or to any substitution, exchange or release of Collateral.

            10.       SURVIVAL

                        13.1     Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender.

                        13.3     Termination By Borrower.

                                    (a)        Borrower may terminate this Agreement, without penalty, upon any anniversary date of the execution hereof by giving Lender no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the anniversary date if and only if Borrower has on the anniversary date paid to Lender in full all of the Obligations.

                                    (b)        Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (a) hereof, Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time upon:

                                                (i)         giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to Lender of its intention to do so; and

                                                (ii)        paying to Lender, in full all of Borrower's Obligations; and

                                                (iii)       paying to Lender, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to six (6) times the average monthly interest owed by Borrower to Lender on the Obligations during the Twelve (12) month period immediately preceding Borrower's notice.  The average monthly interest computation shall exclude any month for which no interest is owed by Borrower to Lender.

                                    (c)        For purposes of Subsection (b) hereof, Lender may, at its option, deem this agreement terminated by Borrower if, (i) within a ninety day period, more than 50% of the average of the preceding six month's balances of Borrower's Obliga­tions to Lender are repaid, without Lender's express written consent, from funds arising from sources other than payments made directly by Account Debtors or other obligors on their respective obligations included in the Collateral; or (ii) there has occurred an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default hereunder, the occurrence of which would permit Lender to exercise any of its remedies under Section 8 of this Agreement (without regard to whether such remedies have been exercised).

30


                                    (d)        Liquidated damages payable under Subsection (c) shall be an amount equal to six (6) times the average monthly interest owed by Borrower to Lender on the Obligations during the Twelve (12) month period, excluding any month for which no interest is owed by Borrower to Lender, immediately preceding the first day of the ninety day period under Subsection (c)(i) or the date of occurrence under Subsection (c)(ii).  The average monthly interest calculation shall not exclude any month for which interest would have been owed by Borrower to Lender but for Borrower's acts that caused termination hereunder.

                        13.4     Rights Upon Termination.   Notwithstanding Lender's termination of this Agreement as herein provided, Lender's security interest, rights and remedies herein set forth shall remain in full force and effect until all of Borrower's Obligations to Lender are paid in full.  Upon full payment of all Obligations and termination of this Agreement, Lender shall, upon request of Borrower, reassign all Receivables to Borrower without recourse and without warranties express or implied.

            14.       AMENDMENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS

                        14.7     Cross Default/Cross Collateral.   All other agree­ments between Borrower and Lender and/or any of Lender's affiliates are hereby amended so that (a) a default under this Agreement is a default under all other agreements and a default under any one of the other agreements is a default under this Agreement; and (b) the Collateral under this Agreement secures the Obligations now or hereafter outstanding under all other agreements with Lender and/or its affiliates and the collateral pledged under any other agreement with Lender and/or its affiliates  secures the Obligations under this Agreement.

                        14.8     Expenses of Lender.   Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, and administration of this Agreement and other instruments and documents to be executed contemporaneously herewith.
