|
an Event of
Default (as defined in the Debenture or other agreement or

exchange of the Collateral. At any such sale the Collateral may be
sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the
Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine. The Agent shall not
be obligated to make any such sale pursu
