payments on the Collateral to Secured Party. Until Secured Party has

cost and expense, shall collect or cause to be collected the accounts and monies
due under the accounts, documents, instruments and general intangibles or
pursuant to the terms of the chattel paper. Secured Party shall not be liable or
responsible for any embezzlement, conversion, negligence or default by Debtor or

at such time as Secured Party, in its sole discretion, shall determine. In

same in trust for Secured Party and shall dispose of the same as Secured Party

Collateral and use it in any lawful manner consistent with this Agreement.

shall not be implied solely by virtue of any loss, destruction or disappearance.

to preserve rights against all Obligors; Secured Party shall not be obligated to

possession. Debtor waives presentment and protest with respect to any instrument

Agreement by amending the Collateral Schedule hereto to include any additional
or future trademarks, service marks and applications therefor owned or acquired
by Debtor without any further assent or signature of Debtor.
-7-
8.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to all
other rights and remedies available to Secured Party hereunder or under

instruments considered necessary, appropriate or convenient by Lender or its
counsel to effectuate the assignment, transfer and conveyance of the Trademarks
to Secured Party or its assignee. Debtor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
authorizes and empowers Secured Party as Secured Party may select, in its
exclusive discretion, as Debtor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the
power to endorse Debtor's name on all such documents, agreements and
instruments, including without limitation assignments. Debtor hereby ratifies
all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
This power of attorney shall be irrevocable as long as this Agreement remains in
effect, and constitutes a power of attorney coupled with an interest. All of

established by this Agreement, by any other document executed in connection with
the Obligation, or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately
or concurrently.
8.3 If Secured Party shall elect to exercise any of the rights
hereunder with respect to the Trademarks, the United States Patent and Trademark
Office shall have the right to rely upon Secured Party's written statement of
Secured Party's right to sell, assign and transfer the trademarks and the Debtor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes the United States Patent and
Trademark Office to recognize such sale by Secured Party either in Debtor's name
or in Secured Party's name without the necessity or obligation of the United
States Patent and Trademark Office to ascertain the existence of any default by

9.1 The occurrence of any event or condition defined in the Note as an

rights and remedies and may do one or more of the following:
(a) Declare all or any part of the Obligation to be
immediately due and payable, and the same, with all costs and charges,
shall be collectible thereupon by action at law.
(b) Without further notice or demand and without legal
process, take possession of the Collateral wherever found and, for this
purpose, enter upon any property occupied by or in the control of
Debtor. Debtor, upon demand by Secured Party, shall assemble the
Collateral and deliver it to Secured Party or to a place designated by
Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties.
(c) Operate the business of Debtor as a going concern,
including, without limitation, extend sales or services to new
customers and advance funds for such operation. Secured Party shall not

Collateral or other property of Debtor as a result of such action.
Debtor hereby waives any claim of trespass or replevin arising as a
result of such action.
(d) Pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to collect
the Obligation, to enforce its title in and right to possession of the
Collateral and to enforce any and all other rights or remedies
available to it.
-8-
(e) Upon obtaining possession of the Collateral or any part
thereof, after notice to Debtor as provided in Paragraph 8.4 herein,
sell such Collateral at public or private sale either with or without
having such Collateral at the place of sale. The proceeds of such sale,
after deducting therefrom all expenses of Secured Party in taking,
storing, repairing and selling the Collateral (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) shall be applied to the payment of the Obligation, and
any surplus thereafter remaining shall be paid to Debtor or any other
person that may be legally entitled thereto. In the event of a
deficiency between such net proceeds from the sale of the Collateral
and the total amount of the Obligation, Debtor, upon demand, shall
promptly pay the amount of such deficiency to Secured Party.
9.3 Secured Party, so far as may be lawful, may purchase all or any
part of the Collateral offered at any public or private sale made in the
enforcement of Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder.
9.4 Any demand or notice of sale, disposition or other intended action
hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the Uniform Commercial
Code or otherwise, shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable and effective
if such demand or notice is given to Debtor at least ten (10) days prior to such
sale, disposition or other intended action, in the manner provided herein for
the giving of notices.
9.5 Debtor shall pay all costs and expenses, including without
limitation costs of Uniform Commercial Code searches, court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Secured Party in enforcing payment and performance
of the Obligation or in exercising the rights and remedies of Secured Party
hereunder. All such costs and expenses shall be secured by this Agreement and by
all deeds of trust and other lien and security documents securing the
Obligation. In the event of any court proceedings, court costs and attorneys'
fees shall be set by the court and not by jury and shall be included in any
judgment obtained by Secured Party.
9.6 In addition to any remedies provided herein for an Event of
Default, Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies afforded a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code and all other legal and equitable
remedies allowed under applicable law. No failure on the part of Secured Party
to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising upon any Event of Default shall
be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any other or
subsequent Event of Default. No delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising
any such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at
any time while that Event of Default is continuing. Secured Party may enforce
any one or more rights or remedies hereunder successively or concurrently. By
accepting payment or performance of any of the Obligation after its due date,
Secured Party shall not thereby waive the agreement contained herein that time
is of the essence, nor shall Secured Party waive either its right to require
prompt payment or performance when due of the remainder of the Obligation or its
right to consider the failure to so pay or perform an Event of Default.

service, such change shall be subject to Secured Party's written approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

including without limitation the benefit of A.R.S. ss.12-1641, et seq. and Rule

reason of any disability or other defense of SEC or by reason of the cessation
from any cause whatsoever of the liability of SEC. Debtor shall have no right of
subrogation and hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which Secured
Party now has, or may hereafter have, against Borrower.
