(b) Remedies Upon Payment Default. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or of the Note, if any Event of Default as described in subsection (i) of Section 8(a) above (hereinafter a "Payment Default") shall occur, then Lender may exercise any and all legal and equitable rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement or the Note, including the following: (i) Cure Period. For a period of 30 days following the due date of any payment giving rise to a Payment Default (the "Cure Period"), Borrower shall have an opportunity to cure such default by making full payment of all amounts due to Lender, including the payment of all interest that accrues under the terms of the Note through the date of payment. (ii) Default Rate Period. For an additional period beginning on the date following the expiration of the Cure Period and continuing for 30 days thereafter (the "Default Rate Period"), Borrower shall have an opportunity to cure any Payment Default by making full payment of all amounts then due to Lender, including the payment of all interest that accrues under the terms of the Note through the date of payment; provided that the rate of interest applied to such default payment shall increase to a rate equal to 200% times the Interest Rate (hereinafter, the "Default Rate"). (iii) Default Option Period. In the event that Borrower fails to cure a Payment Default on or before the expiration of the Default Rate Period, Lender shall, thereafter and for a period continuing until such time as Maker has made full payment of all amounts then due to Lender (the "Default Option Period"), have the option, in lieu of exercising any other remedies that may be available to Lender, to purchase from Borrower a number of shares of GED (as determined herein) in exchange for the release by Holder of Borrower's obligation to pay any such amounts then due to Lender. Holder may exercise such option by delivering a notice of exercise to Maker at any -6- time during a Default Option Period; provided that, such notice is received by Maker prior to payment by Maker of the amounts then due to Lender. The total number of shares subject to the option shall be determined by dividing the total amount of the debt then due and payable to Lender (converted into British Pounds) by the GED Option Price (defined below). The conversion of indebtedness to British Pounds shall be computed using the currency exchange rate (U.S. Dollars to British Pounds) as reported in the Wall Street Journal as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of Lender's notice of exercise of such option. The parties agree to use best efforts to close the sale of GED shares as contemplated herein within 30 days of Lender's notice to Borrower and to execute and provide such documents as necessary to effect the transfer of the GED shares to Lender and the release of indebtedness contemplated herein. During the Default Option Period, interest will continue to accrue and be payable at the Default Rate. As used herein, the "GED Option Price" shall mean the lesser of (i) 25 pence or (ii) 70% of the closing bid price of GED shares as quoted on the London Stock Exchange on the Business Day immediately preceding the delivery of a notice of exercise of the option by Lender. (c) Remedies Upon Non-Payment Default. If any Event of Default as described in subsections (ii) through (ix) of Section 8(a) above (hereinafter a "Non-Payment Default") shall occur and such Non-Payment Default has not been cured by Borrower, then Lender may exercise any and all legal and equitable rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement or the Note including, without limitation, declaring all principal and accrued interest under the Note immediately due and payable. (d) Obligations Continue. The obligations of Borrower and the rights of Lender under this Agreement and the Note shall continue in full force and effect until the Term Loan has been paid in full. 9. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay Lender for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Lender; such fees are agreed to be $50,000. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall bear its own legal expenses related to this transaction. (b) Transfer; Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may not assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer its obligations or rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Borrower.

Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9(c) shall be binding upon the Lender, the Borrower and each transferee of the Agreement. Any waiver by the Lender or the Borrower of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement.
