               shall endeavor to send a copy of the filing of any such Financing
               Statement to the Borrowers; provided, however, the failure to
               send that copy shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
               any such filing. The Lender shall not be liable for any mistake
               in or failure to file any financing statement, modification,
               continuation or other perfection document. The Borrowers will pay

               recording this Agreement in all public offices wherever filing or
               recording is deemed by Lender to be necessary or desirable. Any
               Financing Statements may, to the extent a signature is necessary,
               be signed by Lender on behalf of any Borrower, and may be filed
               at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9
               is then in effect in that jurisdiction. If any Receivable becomes
               evidenced by a promissory note or any other instrument for the
               payment of money, Borrowers will immediately deliver such
               instrument to Lender appropriately endorsed or assigned.",

     to provide as follows:

               "(c) Each Borrower shall at any time and from time to time, take
               such steps as Lender may request for Lender to obtain "control"
               of any Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit
               Rights or electronic Chattel Paper (as such terms are defined in
               Revised Article 9), to the extent that any of the foregoing may
               be proceeds of any Collateral, with any agreements establishing
               control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
               Lender." and

               contain the case title together with the applicable court and
               brief description of the claim(s). Upon delivery of each such
               notice, Borrowers shall be deemed to hereby grant to Lender a
               security interest and lien in and to such commercial tort claims
               and all proceeds thereof. The Borrowers may, so long as no Event
               of Default exists, without notice to or the consent of the
               Lender, pursue any course of action relating to any commercial
               tort claims."
