accession to other goods; sell, lease, otherwise transfer, manufacture,
process, assemble, or furnish under contracts of service, the collateral,
except goods identified herein as inventory; allow the collateral to

3. Debtor warrants: no financing statement has been filed with respect to

absolute owner of the collateral, and it is not encumbered other
than by this security interest (and the same will be true of collateral
acquired hereafter when acquired); none of the collateral is affixed to
real estate or an accession to other goods, nor will collateral acquired
hereafter be affixed to real estate or an accession to other goods when

disclaimers necessary to make this security interest valid against persons
holding interests in the real estate or other goods: all account debtors
and obligors, whose obligations are part of the collateral, are to the
extent permitted by law prevented from asserting against Secured Party any
claims or defenses they have against sellers, or can be so prevented by
Secured Party taking action provided by law for such purposes.
F. RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTY
Secured Party may, in its discretion, after default: terminate, on notice
to Debtor, Debtor's authority to sell, lease, otherwise transfer,
manufacture, process or assemble, or furnish under contracts of service,
inventory collateral, or any other collateral as to which such permission has
been given; require Debtor to give possession or control of the collateral to
Secured Party; indorse as Debtor's agent any instruments or chattel paper in
the collateral; notify account debtors and obligors on instruments to make
payment direct to Secured Party; contact account debtors directly to verify
information furnished by Debtor; take control of proceeds and use cash
proceeds to reduce any part of the obligation; take any action Debtor is
required to take or otherwise necessary to obtain, preserve, and enforce this
security interest, and maintain and preserve the collateral, without notice
to Debtor, and add costs of same to the obligation (but Secured Party is
under no duty to take any such action); release collateral in its possession
to Debtor, temporarily or otherwise; take control of funds generated by the
collateral, such as dividends, interest, and proceeds or refunds from
insurance, and use same to reduce any part of the obligation; vote any stock
which is part of the collateral, and exercise all other rights which an owner
of such stock may exercise; waive any of its rights hereunder without such
waiver prohibiting the later exercise of the same or similar rights; revoke
any permission or waiver previously granted to Debtor.
G. MISCELLANEOUS
The rights and privileges of Secured Party shall inure to its successors
and assigns. All representations, warranties, and agreements of Debtor are
joint and several if Debtor is more than one and shall bind Debtor's personal
representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns. Definitions in the Uniform
Commercial Code apply to words and phrases in this agreement; if Code
definitions conflict, Article 9 definitions apply. Debtor waives
presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and extension of time
without notice as to any instruments and chattel paper in the collateral.
Notice mailed to Debtor's address in Item A2, or to Debtor's most recent
changed address on file with Secured Party, at least five (5) days prior to
the related action (or, if the Uniform Commercial Code specifies a longer
period, such longer period prior to the related action), shall be deemed
reasonable.
H. DEFAULT
1. Any of the following is an event of default: failure of Debtor to pay
any note in the obligation in accordance with its terms, or any other
liability in the obligation on demand, or to perform any act or duty
required by this agreement; falsity of any warranty or representation in
this agreement when made; substantial change in any fact warranted or
represented in this agreement; involvement of Debtor in bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings, death, dissolution, or other termination of
Debtor's existence; merger or consolidation of Debtor with another;
substantial loss, theft, destruction, sale, reduction in value,
encumbrance of, damage to, or change in the collateral; modification of
any contract, the rights to which are part of the collateral; levy on,
seizure, or attachment of the collateral; judgment against Debtor; filing
any financing statement with regard to the collateral, other than relating
to this security interest; Secured Party's belief that the prospect of
payment of any part of the obligation, or the performance of any part of
this agreement, is impaired.
2. When an event of default occurs, the entire obligation becomes immediately
due and payable at Secured Party's option without notice to Debtor, and
Secured Party may proceed to enforce payment of same and exercise any and
all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code as well as all other rights and remedies. When
Debtor is in default, Debtor, upon demand by Secured Party, shall assemble
the collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place
reasonably convenient to both parties. Debtor is entitled to any surplus
and shall be liable to Secured Party for any deficiency.
