Borrower may request  advances against the Loan periodically.

Payment

Representations and Covenants of the Borrower

4. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that:

(d) it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lender, create, permit,  assume, have outstanding or suffer to exist, any assignment, mortgage, lien,  charge, security interest or other encumbrance on the Collateral, or any part  thereof, ranking or purporting to rank prior to or pari passu with the charge and  security interest created by this Agreement.

(d) Borrower shall commence, or have commenced involuntarily against it, any  case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its  behalf as debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking  reorganization, liquidation or dissolution under any law relating to bankruptcy,  insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors or seeking an appointment of a  receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any  substantial part of its property.
