            Lender so elects (provided that such election may only be made at
            any time following either (i) an Event of Default or (ii) a time
            when the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving
            Loan plus the Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the
                 ----

            the Items of Payment. The Items of Payment shall be deposited in
            precisely the form received, except for the endorsements of the
            Borrowers where necessary to permit the collection of any such Items
            of Payment, which endorsement the Borrowers hereby agree to make. In
            the event the Borrowers fail to do so, the Borrowers hereby
            authorize the Lender to make the endorsement in the name of the
            Borrowers. Prior to such a deposit, the Borrowers will not commingle
            any Items of Payment with any of the Borrowers' other funds or

            Borrowers may request advances under the Capital Expenditure Line
            Facility in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
            provided that after giving effect to the Borrowers' request (a) the
