                            Acts Constituting Default
                            -------------------------

         4. The happening of any of the following events shall constitute a
default by Debtor under this Security Agreement:

                  4.1. A court having jurisdiction shall enter a decree or
order for relief in respect of Debtor in an involuntary case under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in

similar official of Debtor or for any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order
shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days;
provided, however, that if Secured Party is a party to bringing such case,
directly or indirectly causes such case to be brought, or has any other
involvement in the events described in this Section 4.1 (i.e., Secured Party is
involved in obtaining the involuntary bankruptcy of Debtor), the events of this
Section 4.1 shall not result in a default by Debtor under this Security
Agreement; or

official of Debtor or for any substantial part of its property, or shall make a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; provided, however, that if
Secured Party is a party to bringing the involuntary case consented to by
Debtor, or directly or indirectly causes such involuntary case to be brought
against Debtor, the consent to such order or appointment shall not result in a
default by Debtor under this Security Agreement.
