shall be immediately delivered to the Purchasers or their duly
appointed agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the
Purchasers, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement.

inspect the Collateral at any reasonable time.
(d) Compliance with Laws, Etc.
The Company will comply in all
material respects with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of
any governmental authority applicable to the Collateral or any part
thereof, provided, however, that the Company may contest any such
law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner which shall
not, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchasers, adversely affect
the Purchasers’ rights or the priority of their liens on the
Collateral.
