    default;
      remedies; substitute collateral

     

    Section
      5.1 Method
      of Realizing Upon the Pledged Property: Other Remedies.

     

    If
      any
      Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

     

    (a) The
      Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Property, in addition
      to
      any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to
      it,
      all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform
      Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code applies to the
      affected Pledged Property), and also may (i) take absolute control of the
      Pledged Property, including, without limitation, transfer into the Secured
      Party's name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the
      Secured Party has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the
      benefit of the Secured Party, all payments made thereon, give all consents,
      waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect
      thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require the
      Company to assemble all or part of the Pledged Property as directed by the
      Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place or places
      to
      be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both
      parties, and the Secured Party may enter into and occupy any premises owned
      or
      leased by the Company where the Pledged Property or any part thereof is located
      or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Secured Party's
      rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to the Company
      in
      respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified
      below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Pledged Property
      for
      sale, (A) sell the Pledged Property or any part thereof in one or more
      parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party's offices or
      elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or
      prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially
      reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Pledged Property or
      any part thereof upon such terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially
      reasonable. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other
      disposition of the Pledged Property shall be required by law, at least ten
      (10)
      days' notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or the
      time
      after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Property is
      to
      be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not
      be
      obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Pledged Property
      regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn
      any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and
      place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at
      the
      time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Company hereby waives any
      claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price
      at
      which the Pledged Property may have been sold at a private sale was less than
      the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than
      the
      aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the
      first
      offer received and does not offer such Pledged Property to more than one
      offeree, and waives all rights that the Company may have to require that all
      or
      any part of such Pledged Property be marshaled upon any sale (public or private)
      thereof. The Company hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the
      Pledged Property by the Secured Party may be made without warranty,
      (ii) the Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title,
      possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth
      in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial
      reasonableness of any such sale of Pledged Property. 

     

    (b) Any
      cash
      held by the Secured Party as Pledged Property and all cash proceeds received
      by
      the Secured Party in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other
      realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Property shall be applied
      (after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section
      8.3 hereof) by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations
      in
      such order as the Secured Party shall elect, consistent with the provisions
      of
      the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds
      held by the Secured Party and remaining after the indefeasible payment in full
      in cash of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be
      lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
      shall direct.

     

    (c) In
      the
      event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are
      insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled,
      the Company shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon
      at the rate specified in the Convertible Debentures for interest on overdue
      principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law,
      together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses
      and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to
      collect such deficiency.

     

    (d) The
      Company hereby acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies with any
      applicable state, provincial, or federal law requirements in connection with
      a
      disposition of the Pledged Property, such compliance will not adversely affect
      the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged
      Property.

     

    (e) The
      Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral
      security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Pledged
      Property) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of
      them
      or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in
      any
      particular order, and all of the Secured Party's rights hereunder and in respect
      of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative
      and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent
      that the Company lawfully may, the Company hereby agrees that it will not invoke
      any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in
      or
      impede the enforcement of the Secured Party's rights under this Agreement or
      under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or
      under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
      Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the
      extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby irrevocably waives the benefits
      of all such laws.

      Regarding Pledged Property.

     

    The
      Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the
      Pledged Property or any income thereon or as to the preservation of any rights
      pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody and reasonable care of any of the
      Pledged Property actually in the Secured Party’s possession.

      Adverse Effect (as defined below); and (b) the Company shall not do, or
      cause to be done, any act impairing the Company’s corporate power or authority
      (i) to carry on the Company’s business as now conducted, and (ii) to
      execute or deliver this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection
      herewith, including, without limitation, any UCC-1 Financing Statements required
      by the Secured Party (which other loan instruments collectively shall be
      referred to as the “Loan
      Instruments”) to
      which it is or will be a party, or perform any of its obligations hereunder
      or
