or

Debtor will reimburse Secured Party for all expenses for the perfection and
the
continuation of the perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the

not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Secured Party
is required by law to perfect Secured Party’s security interest in such
Collateral.

For
purposes of this Agreement the occurrence of any one of the following events

and Remedies Upon Default.
If an
Event of Default occurs and has not been remedied within fifteen (15) days
after
the Secured Party has provided written notice of such default to Debtor, at
any
time thereafter, Secured Party shall have all the rights of a secured party
under the Code. In addition and without limitation, Secured Party may exercise

threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on
a
recognized market, Secured Party will give Debtor reasonable notice of the
time
after which any private sale or any other intended disposition of the Collateral
is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice
is given at least ten (10) days or such lesser time as required by state law,
before the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the
disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of
retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral,
shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall
be
payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure

expenditure until repaid.
(d) Collect
Receivables, Apply Accounts.
Secured
Party, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents,
income, and revenues from the Collateral. Secured Party may at any time in
its
discretion transfer any Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee
and
receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same
as
security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the indebtedness in
such
order of preference as Secured Party may determine. Insofar as the Collateral
consists of Accounts, General Intangibles, insurance policies, Instruments,
Chattel Paper, choses in action, or similar property, Secured Party may demand,
collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose, or realize
on the Collateral as Secured Party may determine, whether or not Indebtedness
or
Collateral is then due. For these purposes, Secured Party may, on behalf of
and
in the name of Debtor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Debtor;
change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes,
checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items
pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of any Collateral. To facilitate
collection, Secured Party may notify account debtors and obligors on any
Collateral to make payments directly to Secured Party.
(e) Obtain
Deficiency.
If
Secured Party chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Secured Party may
obtain a judgment against Debtor for any deficiency remaining on the
Indebtedness due to Secured Party after application of all amounts received
from
the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Debtor shall be liable
for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this subsection is a
sale
of Accounts or Chattel Paper.
(f)
Other
Rights and Remedies.
Secured
Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the
provisions of the Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition,
Secured Party shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedied
it may have available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
(g) Cumulative
Remedies.
All of
Secured Party’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or
Credit Facility Agreement or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and
may
be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Secured Party to pursue
any
remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make
expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Debtor under this
Agreement, after Debtor’s failure to perform, shall not affect Secured Party’s
right to declare a default and to exercise its remedies.
9

Note
and Credit Facility Agreement shall have expired or been terminated, this

or
at
such other address of which any party may, from time to time, advise the other
parties by notice in writing given in accordance with the foregoing. The date
of
receipt of any such notice shall be deemed to be the date of delivery or
facsimile (with confirmation) thereof.
(g) Power
of Attorney.
Debtor
hereby appoints Secured Party as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
irrevocably, with full power of substitution to do the following: (i) to demand,
collect, receive, receipt for, xxx and recover all sums of money or other
property which may now or hereafter become due, owing or payable from the
Collateral; (ii) to execute, sign and endorse any and all claims, instruments,
receipts, checks, drafts or warrants issued in payment for the Collateral,
(iii)
to settle or compromise any and all claims arising under the Collateral, and,
in
the place and stead of Debtor, to execute and deliver its release and settlement
for the claim; and (iv) to file any claim or claims or to take any action or
institute or take part in any proceedings, either in its own name or in the
name
of Debtor, or otherwise, which in the discretion of Secured Party may seem
to be
necessary or advisable. This power is given as security for the Indebtedness,
and the authority hereby conferred is and shall be irrevocable and shall remain
in full force and effect until renounced by Secured Party.
(h) Severability.
If a
court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be
invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, such finding shall
not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other persons
or
circumstances. If feasible, any such offending provision shall be deemed to
be
modified to be within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if
the
offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other
provisions of this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and
enforceable.

(i)
Successor
Interests.
Subject
to the limitations set forth above on transfer of the Collateral and in the
Note, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties, their successors and assigns.
(j)
Waiver.
Secured
Party shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless
such waiver is given in writing and signed by Secured Party. No delay or
omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate
as a
waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Secured Party of a
provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
Secured Party’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision
or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Secured Party,
nor
any course of dealing between Secured Party and Debtor, shall constitute a
waiver of any of Secured Party’s rights or of any of Debtor’s obligations as to
any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Secured Party is required
under
this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Secured Party in any instance
shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such
consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld
in
the sole discretion of Secured Party.
(k) Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to
the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of
the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same
force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original
thereof.
