request, each of the Assignors shall assemble or cause the Collateral to be
assembled and make it available to Laurus at a place designated by Laurus. If

to enforce this Master Security Agreement according to its terms, immediately

Assignor's joint and several account and at each Assignor's joint and several

Assignor or on any Assignor's behalf; to file financing statements against us

power being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as any
Obligations remains unpaid.

other right, privilege, remedy or option, and no waiver whatever shall be
