Borrower will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws,
regulations, and policies and otherwise shall be in such amounts, contain such
terms, be in such forms and be for such periods as may be reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender. In addition, all such insurance shall be payable to
the Lender under a Lender Loss Payable Endorsement. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Borrower will:

          9.7.1. Keep all of its physical property insured with casualty or
physical hazard insurance on an "all risks" basis, with broad form flood and

          9.7.2. Maintain all such workers' compensation or similar insurance as
may be required by law;

                                 Page 14 of 22

petition, application, or otherwise) against any Obligor; or any judgment, writ,

provide non- exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender

CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER SS.9-513(C) OF THE UCC.

     24.4. NO WAIVER. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any
right, power, or remedy hereunder shall impair any right, power, or remedy which
Lender may have, nor shall any such delay be construed to be a waiver of any of

discontinuance of action begun to enforce, any such right or remedy. The rights
and remedies specified herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or

Section shall survive any termination of this agreement. A copy of the waiver
may be filed as a written consent in any judicial proceeding.

     24.7. VENUE. The parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of the subject matter hereof, or the interpretation, performance or breach

agrees that the Acceptable Forums are convenient to it, and each party
irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Acceptable Forums, irrevocably
agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this
Agreement, and waives any and all objections to jurisdiction or venue that it
may have under the laws of the Controlling State or otherwise in those courts in
any such suit, action or proceeding. Should such proceeding be initiated in any
other forum, Borrower waives any right to oppose any motion or application made
by Lender as a consequence of such proceeding having been commenced in a forum
other than an Acceptable Forum.

     24.8. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. IN RECOGNITION OF THE HIGHER COSTS AND DELAY

<PAGE>
EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR
OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH
ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A
JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND
CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED
BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE
CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
