MASTER EQUIPMENT FINANCE AGREEMENT # 430022
MASTER EQUIPMENT FINANCE AGREEMENT dated DECEMBER 1, 1996, by and between
VISION CAPITAL CORPORATION ("Secured Party"), having its principal office and
place of business at 00000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000,
and PARADISE BAKERY, INC. ("Debtor"), having its principal office and place of
business at 000 Xxxxxx Xx., Xxxxx X-000, Xxxxx Xxxx XX, 00000.
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual agreement set forth hereinafter and the payment
of installment debt as provided for herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. AGREEMENT; EQUIPMENT; SECURITY INTEREST: This contract constitutes a Master
Equipment Finance Agreement ("Agreement") to include one or more separate
Schedules, and each such Schedule shall incorporate by reference any and all
conditions and provisions as set forth herein. In the event that any terms
and/or conditions of a Schedule conflict with the Agreement, the terms and/or
conditions of such Schedule shall then prevail relative to such Schedule. Each
Schedule shall be substantially in the same form as Exhibit "A" annexed hereto
and made a part hereof, and shall contain additional terms and conditions as
Secured Party and Debtor shall mutually agree upon therein. Each Schedule shall
be enforceable according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as
amended therein. The terms and conditions of this Agreement cover each item of
machinery, equipment and other personal property (herein the "Equipment")
described in each Schedule now or hereafter executed between Secured Party and
Debtor. Debtor hereby grants Secured Party a security interest in and to all
Debtor's right, title and interest in and to the Equipment under the Uniform
Commercial Code as of Debtor's execution of this Agreement, or, if Debtor has no
interest in the Equipment at that time, as of such subsequent time as Debtor
acquires an interest in the Equipment. Such security interest is granted by
Debtor to secure performance by Debtor of Debtor's obligations to Secured Party
hereunder. Debtor will ensure that such security interest will be and remain a
sole and valid first lien security interest subject only to the lien of current
taxes and assessments not in default but only if such taxes are entitled to
priority as a matter of law.
2. DEBTOR'S OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of Debtor under this Agreement
respecting the Equipment, except the obligation to pay installment payments with
respect thereto which will commence as set forth in paragraph 3 below, shall
commence upon the grant to Secured Party of a security interest in the
Equipment. Debtor's obligations hereunder with respect to the Equipment and
Secured Party's security interest therein will continue until payment of all
amounts due and performance of all terms and conditions required hereunder with
respect thereto; provided, however, that if this Agreement is then in default,
said obligations and security interest will continue during the continuance of
said default. Upon termination of Secured Party's security interest in the
Equipment, Secured Party will execute such release of interest with respect
thereto as Debtor reasonably requests.
3. INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS AND OTHER PAYMENTS. Debtor will repay advances Secured
Party makes on account of the Equipment in installment payments in the amounts
and at the times set forth in the Schedules, whether or not Secured Party has
rendered an invoice therefor, at the office of Secured Party set forth herein,
or to such person and/or at such other place as Secured Party may from time to
time designate with notice to Debtor. Any other amounts required to be paid
Secured Party by Debtor hereunder are due upon Debtor's receipt of Secured
Party's invoice therefor and will be payable as directed in the invoice.
Payments under this Agreement may be applied to Debtor's then accrued
obligations to Secured Party in such order as Secured Party may choose.
4. NET AGREEMENT; NO OFFSET; SURVIVAL. This Agreement is a net agreement, and
Debtor will not be entitled to any abatement of installment payments or other
payments due hereunder or any reduction thereof under any circumstances or for
any reason whatsoever. Debtor hereby waives any and all existing and future
claims, as offsets, against any installment payments or other payments due
hereunder and agrees to pay the installment payments and other amounts due
hereunder as and when due regardless of any offset or claim which may be
asserted by Debtor or on its behalf. The obligations and liabilities of Debtor
hereunder will survive the termination of this Agreement.
5. FINANCING AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT IS SOLELY A FINANCING AGREEMENT.
DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN OR WILL BE SELECTED AND ACQUIRED
SOLELY BY DEBTOR FOR DEBTOR'S PURPOSES, THAT SECURED PARTY IS NOT AND WILL NOT
BE THE VENDOR OF ANY EQUIPMENT AND THAT SECURED PARTY HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT
MAKE ANY AGREEMENT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE
MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALIFICATION OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
VALUE OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER WITH RESPECT THERETO IN ANY RESPECT
WHATSOEVER.
6. NO AGENCY. DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO AGENT OF THE MANUFACTURER OR OTHER
SUPPLIER OF THE EQUIPMENT OR OF ANY FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY SCHEDULE HERETO IS AN AGENT OF SECURED PARTY, AND SECURED
PARTY SHALL NOT BE BOUND BY ANY REPRESENTATION OF ANY SUCH PARTY.
7. ACCEPTANCE. Execution by Debtor and Secured Party of a Schedule covering
the Equipment will conclusively establish that such Equipment has been included
under and will be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If
Debtor has not furnished Secured Party with an executed Schedule by the earlier
of fourteen (14) days after receipt of such Schedule from Secured Party or by
the expiration of a commitment period as set forth in any applicable Equipment
Finance Commitment letter issued to Debtor by Secured Party relative to such
Schedule, Secured Party may then terminate its obligation to advance funds as to
the applicable Equipment.
8. LOCATION; INSPECTION; USE. Debtor will keep, or in the case of motor
vehicles, permanently garage and not remove from the United States, as
appropriate, the Equipment in Debtor's possession and control at the Equipment
Location designated in the applicable Schedule, or at such other location to
which such Equipment may have been moved with the prior written consent of
Secured Party. Whenever requested by Secured Party, Debtor will advise Secured
Party as to the exact location of the Equipment. Secured Party will have the
right to inspect the Equipment and observe its use during normal business hours
and to enter into and upon the premises where the Equipment may be located for
such purpose. The Equipment will at all times be used solely for commercial or
business purposes and operated in a careful and proper manner and in compliance
with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, all conditions and
requirements of the policy or policies of insurance required to be carried by
Debtor under the terms of this Agreement and all manufacturer's instructions and
warranty requirements. Any modifications or additions to the Equipment required
by any such governmental edict or insurance policy will be promptly made by
Debtor.
1
9. ALTERATIONS; SECURITY INTEREST COVERAGE. Without the prior written consent
of Secured Party, Debtor will not make any alterations, additions or
improvements to the Equipment which detract from its economic value or
functional utility, except as may be required pursuant to paragraph 8 above.
Secured Party's security interest in the Equipment will include all
modifications and additions thereto and replacements and substitutions therefor,
in whole or in part. Such reference to replacements and substitutions will not
grant Debtor greater rights to replace or substitute than are provided in
paragraph 11 below or as may be allowed upon the prior written consent of
Secured Party.
10. MAINTENANCE. Debtor will maintain the Equipment in good repair, condition
and working order. Debtor will also cause the Equipment for which a service
contract is generally available to be covered by such a contract which provides
coverages typical as to property of the type involved and is issued by a
competent servicing entity.
11. LOSS AND DAMAGE; CASUALTY VALUE. In the event of the loss of, theft of,
requisition of, damage to or destruction of the Equipment ("Casualty
Occurrence"), Debtor will give Secured Party prompt notice thereof and will
thereafter place such Equipment in good repair, condition and working order;
provided, however, that if such Equipment is determined by Secured Party to be
lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair, is requisitioned or suffers a
constructive total loss as defined in any applicable insurance policy carried by
Debtor in accordance with paragraph 14 below, Debtor, at Secured Party's option,
will (a) replace such Equipment with like equipment in good repair, condition
and working order whereupon such replacement equipment will be deemed the
Equipment for all purposes hereof or, (b) pay Secured Party the "Casualty Value"
of such Equipment which value will equal the total of (i) all installment
payments and other amounts due from Debtor to Secured Party at the time of such
payment and (ii) each future installment payment due with respect to such
Equipment, with each such payment discounted to its present value at six percent
(6.0%) per annum simple interest from the date due to the date of such payment.
The discounting contemplated in this paragraph will be in accordance with the
FINANCIAL COMPOUND INTEREST AND ANNUITY TABLES, SIXTH EDITION, published by the
Financial Publishing Company. Upon such replacement or payment, as appropriate,
this Agreement and Secured Party's security interest will terminate with, and
only with, respect to the Equipment so replaced or as to which such payment is
made in accordance with paragraph 2 above.
12. TITLING; REGISTRATION. Any Equipment subject to title registration laws
will at all times be titled and/or registered by Debtor as Secured Party's agent
and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to register (but without
power to affect title to) such Equipment in such manner and in such jurisdiction
or jurisdictions as Secured Party directs. Debtor will promptly notify Secured
Party of any necessary or advisable retitling and/or re-registration of such
Equipment in a jurisdiction other than one in which such Equipment is then
titled and/or registered. Any and all documents of title will be furnished or
caused to be furnished to Secured Party by Debtor within sixty (60) days of the
date any titling or registering or retitling or re-registering, as appropriate,
as directed by Secured Party.
13. TAXES. Debtor will make all filings as to and pay when due all personal
property and other ad valorem taxes and all other taxes, fees, charges and
assessments based on the ownership or use of the Equipment and will pay as
directed by Secured Party or reimburse Secured Party for all other taxes,
including, but not limited to, gross receipts taxes (exclusive of federal and
state taxes based on Secured Party's net income, unless such net income taxes
are in substitution for or relieve Debtor from any taxes which Debtor would
otherwise be obligated to pay under the terms of this paragraph 13), fees,
charges and assessments whatsoever, however designated, whether based on the
installment payments or other amounts due hereunder, levied, assessed or imposed
upon the Equipment or otherwise related hereto or to the Equipment; now or
hereafter levied, assessed or imposed under the authority of a federal, state or
local taxing jurisdiction, regardless of when and by whom payable. Filings with
respect to such other amounts will, at Secured Party's option, be made by
Secured Party or by Debtor as directed by Secured Party.
14. INSURANCE. Debtor will procure and continuously maintain all risk
insurance against loss of or damage to the Equipment from any cause whatsoever
for not less than the full replacement value thereof naming Secured Party and/or
its assigns as Loss Payee. Such insurance must be in a form and with companies
approved by Secured Party, must provide at least thirty (30) days advance
written notice to Secured Party of cancellation, change or modification in any
term, condition or amount of protection provided therein, must provide full
breach of warranty protection and must provide that the coverage is "primary
coverage" (does not require contribution from any other applicable coverage).
Debtor will provide Secured Party with an original policy or certificate
evidencing such insurance. In the event of an assignment of this agreement of
which Debtor has notice, Debtor will cause such insurance to provide the same
protection to the assignee as its interests may appear. The proceeds of such
insurance, at the option of Secured Party or such assignee, as appropriate, will
be applied toward (a) repair or replacement of the appropriate Equipment, (b)
payment of the Casualty Value thereof or (c) payment of, or as provision for,
satisfaction of any other accrued obligations of Debtor hereunder. Debtor
hereby appoints Secured Party as Debtor's attorney-in fact with full power and
authority to do all things, including, but not limited to, making claims,
receiving payments and endorsing documents, checks or drafts, necessary to
secure payments due under any policy contemplated hereby on account of a
Casualty Occurrence. Debtor and Secured Party contemplate that the
jurisdictions where the Equipment will be located will not impose any liability
upon Secured Party for personal injury and/or property damage resulting out of
the possession, use, operation or condition of the Equipment. Debtor agrees
that if Debtor fails to procure, maintain and pay for such insurance, Secured
Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain such insurance on
behalf of and at the expense of Debtor. In the event Secured Party does obtain
such insurance, Debtor agrees to pay all costs thereof immediately upon demand.
15. SECURED PARTY'S PAYMENT. If Debtor fails to pay any amounts due hereunder
or to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement, Secured Party
may, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, pay such amounts or
perform such obligations, and Debtor will reimburse Secured Party the amount of
such payment or cost of such performance immediately upon demand.
16. INDEMNITY. Debtor does hereby assume liability for and does agree to
indemnify, defend, protect, save and keep harmless Secured Party from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
suits, costs, expenses and disbursements, including court costs and legal
expenses, of whatever kind and nature, imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against Secured Party (whether or not also indemnified against by any other
person) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the
manufacture, financing, ownership, delivery, possession, use, operation,
condition or disposition of the Equipment by Secured Party or Debtor, including,
without limitation, any claim alleging latent and other defects, whether or not
discoverable by Secured Party or Debtor, and any other claim arising out of
strict liability in tort, whether or not in either instance relating to an event
occurring while Debtor remains obligated under this Agreement, and any claim for
patent, trademark or copyright infringement. Debtor agrees to give Secured
Party and Secured Party agrees to give Debtor notice of any claim or liability
hereby indemnified against promptly following learning thereof.
17. DEFAULT. Any of the following will constitute an event of default
hereunder: (a) Debtor's failure to pay when due any installment payment or
other amount due hereunder, which failure continues for ten (10) days after the
due date thereof; (b) Debtor's default in performing any other obligation, term
or condition of this Agreement or default under any further agreement providing
security for the performance by Debtor of its obligations hereunder, provided
such default has continued for more than twenty (20) days, except as provided in
(c) and (d) hereinbelow, or, without limiting the generality of subparagraph (1)
hereinbelow, default under any lease or any mortgage or other instrument
contemplating the provision of financial accommodation applicable to the real
estate where any Equipment is located; (c) any writ or order of attachment or
execution or other legal process being levied on or charged against any
Equipment and not being released or satisfied within ten (10) days; (d) Debtor's
failure to comply with its obligations under paragraph 14 above or any transfer
by Debtor in violation of paragraph 21 below; (e) a non-appealable judgment for
the payment of money in excess of $100,000 being rendered by a court of record
against Debtor which Debtor does not discharge or make provision for discharge
in accordance with the terms thereof within ninety (90) days from the date of
entry thereof; (f) death or judicial declaration of incompetency of Debtor, if
an individual; (g) the filing by Debtor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Act
or any amendment thereto or under any other insolvency law or law providing for
the relief of debtors, including, without limitation, a petition for
reorganization, arrangement or extension, or the commission by Debtor of an act
of bankruptcy; (h) the filing against Debtor of any such petition not dismissed
or permanently stayed within thirty (30) days of the filing thereof; (i) the
voluntary or involuntary making of an assignment of substantial portion of its
assets by Debtor for the benefit of creditors, appointment of a receiver or
trustee for Debtor or for any of Debtor's assets, institution by or against

otherwise) or of any formal or informal proceeding for dissolution, liquidation,
settlement of claims

activities or the making by Debtor of a transfer of all or a material portion of
Debtor's assets or inventory not in the ordinary course of business; (j) the
occurrence of any event described in parts (e), (f), (g), (h) or (i) hereinabove
with respect to any guarantor or other party liable for payment or performance
of this Agreement; (k) any certificate, statement, representation, warranty or
audit heretofore or hereafter furnished with respect hereto by or on behalf of
Debtor or any guarantor or other party liable for payment or performance of this
Agreement proving to have been false in any material respect at the time as of
which the facts therein set forth were stated or certified or having omitted any
substantial contingent or unliquidated liability or claim against Debtor or any
such guarantor or other party; (l) breach by Debtor of any lease or other
agreement providing financial accommodation under which Debtor or its property
is bound or (m) a transfer of effective control of Debtor, if an organization.
18. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Secured Party will
have the rights, options, duties and remedies of a secured party, and Debtor
will have the rights and duties of a debtor, under the Uniform Commercial Code
(regardless of whether such Code or a law similar thereto has been enacted in a
jurisdiction wherein the rights or remedies are asserted) and, without limiting
the foregoing, Secured Party may exercise any one or more of the following
remedies; (a) declare the Casualty Value or such lesser amount as may be set by
law immediately due and payable with respect to the Equipment without notice or
demand to Debtor; (b) xxx from time to time for and recover all installment
payments and other payments then accrued and which accrue during the pendency of
such action with respect to any or all of the Equipment; (c) take possession of
and, if deemed appropriate, render unusable any or all of the Equipment, without
demand or notice, wherever same may be located, without any court order or other
process of law and without liability for any damages occasioned by such taking
of possession and remove, keep and store the same or use and operate or lease
the same until sold; (d) require Debtor to assemble the Equipment at the
Equipment Location therefor, such location to which such Equipment may have been
moved with the written consent of Secured Party or such other location in
reasonable proximity to either of the foregoing as Secured Party designates; (e)
upon ten days notice to Debtor or such other notice as may be required by law,
sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Equipment, whether or not in Secured
Party's possession, in a commercially reasonable manner at public or private
sale at any place deemed appropriate and apply the net proceeds of such sale,
after deducting all costs of such sale, including, but not limited to, costs of
transportation, repossession, storage, refurbishing, advertising and broker's
fees, to the obligations of Debtor to Secured Party hereunder or otherwise, with
Debtor remaining liable for any deficiency and with any excess being returned to
Debtor; (f) upon thirty (30) days notice to Debtor, retain any repossessed or
assembled Equipment as Secured Party's own property in full satisfaction of
Debtor's liability for the installment payments due hereunder with respect
thereto, provided that Debtor will have the right to redeem such Equipment by
payment in full of its obligations to Secured Party hereunder or otherwise or to
require Secured Party to sell or otherwise dispose of such Equipment in the
manner set forth in subparagraph (e) hereinabove upon notice to Secured Party
within such thirty (30) day period or (g) utilize any other remedy available to
Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar provision of law or
otherwise at law or in equity. No right or remedy conferred herein is exclusive
of any other right or remedy conferred herein or by law; but all such remedies
are cumulative of every other right or remedy conferred hereunder or at law or
in equity, by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised concurrently or
separately from time to time. Any sale contemplated by subparagraph (e) of this
paragraph 18 may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place appointed for such sale, or for any such adjourned sale, without further
published notice, and Secured Party may bid and become the purchaser at any such
sale. Any sale of the Equipment, whether under said subparagraph or by virtue
of judicial proceedings, will operate to divest all right, title, interest,
claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Debtor in and to
such Equipment and will be a perpetual bar to any claim against such Equipment,
both at law and in equity, against Debtor and all persons claiming by, through
or under Debtor.
19. DISCONTINUANCE OF REMEDIES. If Secured Party proceeds to enforce any right
under this Agreement and such proceedings are discontinued or abandoned for any
reason or are determined adversely, then and in every such case Debtor and
Secured Party will be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder.
20. SECURED PARTY'S EXPENSES. Debtor will pay Secured Party all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs and sales costs
not offset against sales proceeds under paragraph 18 above, incurred by Secured
Party in exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder or enforcing any of
the terms, conditions or provisions hereof. This obligation includes the
payment or reimbursement of all such amounts whether an action is ultimately
filed and whether an action filed is ultimately dismissed.
21. ASSIGNMENT. Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Debtor
will not sell, lease, pledge or hypothecate, except as provided in this
Agreement, any Equipment or any interest therein or assign, transfer, pledge or
hypothecate this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement or permit the
Equipment to be subject to any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature except
the security interest of Secured Party contemplated hereby. Debtor's interest
herein is not assignable and will not be assigned or transferred by operation of
law. Consent to any of the foregoing prohibited acts applies only in the given
instance and is not a consent to any subsequent like act by Debtor or any other
person. All rights of Secured Party hereunder may be assigned, pledged,
mortgaged, transferred or otherwise disposed of, either in whole or in part,
without notice to Debtor but always, however, subject to the rights of Debtor
under this Agreement. If Debtor is given notice of any such assignment, Debtor
will acknowledge receipt thereof in writing. In the event Secured Party assigns
this Agreement or the installment payments due or to become due hereunder or any
other interest herein, whether as security for any of its indebtedness or
otherwise, no breach or default by Secured Party hereunder or pursuant to any
other agreement between Secured Party and Debtor, should there be one, will
excuse performance by Debtor of any provision hereof, it being understood that
in the event of such default or breach by Secured Party that Debtor will pursue
any rights on account thereof solely against Secured Party. No such assignee,
unless such assignee agrees in writing, will be obligated to perform any duty,
covenant or condition required to be performed by Secured Party in connection
with this Agreement. Subject always to the foregoing, this Agreement inures to
the benefit of, and is binding upon, the heirs, legatees, personal
representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
22. MARKINGS; PERSONAL PROPERTY. If Secured Party supplies Debtor with labels,
plates, decals or other markings stating that Secured Party has an interest in
the Equipment, Debtor will affix and keep the same prominently displayed on the
Equipment or will otherwise xxxx the Equipment or its then location or
locations, as appropriate, at Secured Party's request to indicate Secured
Party's security interest in the Equipment. The Equipment is, and at all times
will remain, personal property, notwithstanding that the Equipment may now be,
or hereafter become, in any manner affixed or attached to, or embedded in, or
permanently resting upon real property or any improvement thereof or attached in
any manner to what is permanent as by means of cement, plaster, nails, bolts,
screws or otherwise. If requested by Secured Party, Debtor will obtain and
deliver to Secured Party waivers of interest or liens in recordable form
satisfactory to Secured Party from all persons claiming any interest in the real
property on which any Equipment is or is to be installed or located.
23. LATE CHARGES. If Debtor fails to pay any installment payment or any other
sum to be paid by Debtor to Secured Party within ten (10) days of when due,
Debtor will pay to Secured Party (a) an amount calculated at the rate of five
cents ($.05) per one dollar ($1.00) of each such delayed payment as compensation
for Secured Party's internal operating expenses arising as a result of such
failure, (b) any expenses incurred by Secured Party's relevant to the collection
thereof, and (c) interest on such unpaid installment or other amounts due
Secured Party, including taxes and late charges, at the rate of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month, or at such greater or lesser contract rate as may be
fixed by law, computed from the date due to the date paid.
24. NON-WAIVER. No covenant or condition of this Agreement can be waived
except by the written consent of Secured Party. Forbearance or indulgence by
Secured Party in regard to any breach hereunder will not constitute a waiver of
the related covenant or condition to be performed by Debtor.
25. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. In connection with and in order to perfect and
evidence the security interest in the Equipment granted Secured Party hereunder,
Debtor will execute and deliver to Secured Party such financing statements and
similar documents as Secured Party may request from time to time. Debtor
authorizes Secured Party, where permitted by law, to make filings of such
financing statements without Debtor's signature. Debtor further will furnish
Secured Party (a) a fiscal year end financial statement including balance sheet
and profit and loss statement within one hundred twenty (120) days of the close
of each fiscal year, (b) any other information normally provided by Debtor to
the public and (c) such other financial data or information relative to this
Agreement and the Equipment, including, without limitation, copies of vendor
proposals and purchase orders and agreements, listings of serial numbers or
other identification data and confirmations of such information, as Secured
Party may from time to time reasonably request. Debtor will procure and/or
execute, have executed, acknowledge, have acknowledged, deliver to Secured
Party,
3
record and file such other documents and showings as Secured Party deems
necessary or desirable to protect its interest in and rights under this
Agreement and its interest in the Equipment. Debtor will pay as directed by
Secured Party or reimburse Secured Party for all filing, search, title report,
legal and other fees incurred by Secured Party in connection with any documents
to be provided by Debtor pursuant to this paragraph or paragraph 22 and any
further similar documents Secured Party may procure.
26. DEBTOR'S WARRANTIES. Debtor certifies and warrants that the financial data
and other information which Debtor has submitted or will submit to Secured Party
in connection with this Agreement is, or will be at time of delivery, as
appropriate, a true and complete statement of the matters therein contained.
Debtor further certifies and warrants: (a) this Agreement and the attendant
documents have been duly authorized by Debtor and, when executed and delivered
by the person signing on behalf of Debtor below, will constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of Debtor, enforceable against Debtor in
accordance with their respective terms; (b) this Agreement and each and every
showing provided by or on behalf of Debtor in connection herewith may be relied
upon by Secured Party in accordance with the terms thereof, notwithstanding the

thereto, whether by absence of a seal or acknowledgment or otherwise; (c) Debtor
has the right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Equipment

Agreement requires, the neuter gender includes the feminine or masculine and the
singular number includes the plural; and whenever the words "Secured Party" are
used herein, they include all assignees of Secured Party, it being understood
that specific reference to "assignee" in paragraph 14 above is for further
emphasis. If there is more than one Debtor named in this Agreement, the
liability of each will be joint and several.
30. TITLES. The titles to the paragraphs of this Agreement are solely for the
convenience of the parties and are not an aid in the interpretation of the
instrument.
31. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in

related to this Agreement will be in an appropriate court in San Diego County,

provisions.
