                  may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels
                  as the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may
                  determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to make
                  any public or private sale and may cause the same to be
                  adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
                  place fixed for the sale and such sale may be made at any time
                  or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any
                  sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Shares on credit or
                  for future delivery the Mortgaged Shares so sold may be
                  retained by the Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties until
                  the selling price is paid by each purchaser thereof but
                  neither the Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall
                  incur liability in the case of the failure of such purchaser
                  to take up and pay for the Mortgaged Shares so sold and in
                  case of any

<PAGE>

                  such failing such Mortgaged Shares may again be sold upon like
                  notice. The Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties
                  instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon
                  it may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to
                  foreclose this Mortgage and sell the Mortgaged Shares or any
                  portion thereof under a judgment or decree of a court or
                  courts of competent jurisdiction, the Mortgagor having been
                  given due notice of all such action;

         (d)      the proceeds of any sale or other enforcement in respect of
                  all or any part of the Mortgaged Shares shall be applied
                  by the Collateral Agent first in paying the expenses
                  of any such sale or other enforcement and thereafter in
                  reduction of the Outstanding Indebtedness in such order as
                  the Secured Parties may determine; and

         (e)      in the event of a Default, the Collateral Agent on behalf
                  of the Secured Parties shall be entitled to date and
                  implement the documents delivered to it pursuant to Clause 9
                  hereof as appropriate and to take all steps to register the
                  Mortgaged Shares in its name or that of its nominees and to
                  assume control as registered owner of the Mortgaged Shares;

         Provided that in all cases:-

         (i)      the Mortgagor shall remain liable to perform all the
                  obligations assumed by it in relation to the Mortgaged Shares
                  and the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be
                  under no obligation of any kind whatsoever in respect thereof
                  or be under any liability whatsoever in event of any failure
                  by the Mortgagor to perform its obligations in respect
                  thereof;

         (ii)     the Mortgagor shall pay all calls or other payments, and shall
                  discharge all other obligations, which may become due in
                  respect of any of the Mortgaged Shares failing which the
                  Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may if it
                  thinks fit (but shall not be required to do so) make such
                  payments or discharge such obligations on behalf of the
                  Mortgagor. Any sums so paid by the Collateral Agent on behalf
                  of the Secured Parties in respect thereof shall be payable by
                  the Mortgagor to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured
                  Parties on demand and pending such repayment shall constitute
                  part of the Outstanding Indebtedness; and

         (iii)    the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall not have
                  any duty (whether registered as the legal mortgagee of the
                  Mortgaged Shares or not) to

<PAGE>

                  ensure that any dividends, interest or other moneys and assets
                  receivable in respect of the Mortgaged Shares are duly and
                  punctually paid, received or collected as and when the same
                  become due and payable or to ensure that the correct amounts
                  (if any) are paid or received on or in respect of the
                  Mortgaged Shares or to ensure the taking up of any (or any
                  offer of any) stocks, shares, rights, moneys or other property
                  paid, distributed, accruing or offered at any time by way of
                  redemption, bonus, rights, preference or otherwise on, or in
                  respect of, any of the Mortgaged Shares.

         by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties of any right,

         thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The
