NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate any
law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a party, and its

accordance with its terms, is genuine, and complies with applicable laws
concerning form, content and manner of preparation and execution, and all

to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear to be on the Collateral. At

interests granted under this Agreement. Unless waived by Lender, all proceeds

insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts and general intangibles, Grantor
shall deliver to Lender schedules of such Collateral, including such information
as Lender may require, including without limitation names and addresses of
account debtors and agings of accounts and general intangibles. Insofar as the
Collateral consists of inventory and equipment, Grantor shall deliver to Lender,
as often as Lender shall require, such lists, descriptions, and designations of
such Collateral as Lender may require to identify the nature, extent, and
location of such Collateral. Such information shall be submitted for Grantor and
each of its subsidiaries or related companies.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL. Grantor shall maintain all tangible
Collateral in good condition and repair. Grantor will not commit or permit
damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part of the Collateral. Lender
and its designated representatives and agents shall have the right at all
reasonable times to examine, inspect, and audit the Collateral wherever located.
Grantor shall immediately notify Lender of all cases involving the return,

TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND LIENS. Grantor will pay when due all taxes, assessments
and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this Agreement, upon
any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness, or upon any of the
other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such payment or may elect to
contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an appropriate
proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in
the Collateral is not jeopardized in Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is
subjected to a lien which is not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor
shall deposit with Lender cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other
security satisfactory to Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the
discharge of the lien plus any interest, costs, attorneys' fees or other charges
that could accrue as a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any
contest Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any final
adverse judgment before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall name
Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest
proceedings.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Grantor shall comply promptly with
all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities, now
or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership, production, disposition, or
use of the Collateral. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance
or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including
appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral, in Lender's
opinion, is not jeopardized.
FORM OF COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral never
has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien on the
Collateral, used for the generation, manufacture, storage, transportation,
treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any hazardous waste or
substance, as those terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section
9601, et seq. ("CERCLA"), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of
1986, Pub. L. No. 99-499 ("XXXX"), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act,
49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq., or other applicable state or Federal laws, rules,
or regulations adopted pursuant to any of the foregoing. The terms "hazardous
waste" and "hazardous substance" shall also include, without limitation,
petroleum and petroleum by-products or any fraction thereof and asbestos. The
representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due
diligence in investigating the Collateral for hazardous wastes and substances.
Grantor hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for
indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or
other costs under any such laws, and (b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Lender against any and all claims and losses resulting from a breach of this
provision of this Agreement. This obligation to indemnify shall survive the
payment of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction of this Agreement.
MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain all risks
insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability coverage
together with such other insurance as Lender may require with respect to the
Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to
Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender.
Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the
policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including
stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least
ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer
of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance
policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of
Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of
Grantor or any other person. In connection with all policies covering assets in
which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide
Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. If
Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under
this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance
as Lender deems appropriate, including if it so chooses "single interest
insurance," which will cover only Lender's interest in the Collateral.
APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any
loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails
to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All proceeds of any insurance
on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held by Lender
as part of the Collateral. If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the
damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of
expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost
ot repair or restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of
the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay
all of the Indebtedness and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which
have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which
Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall
be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves
for payment of
FORM OF COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by monthly payments from
Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to produce, at least
fifteen (15) days before the premium due date. amounts at least equal to the
insurance premiums to be paid. If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the
reserve funds are insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to
Lender. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall
constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by payment of
the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor a they become due. Lender
does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor, and Lender is not the
agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by
Grantor. The responsibility for the payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's
sole responsibility.
INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to Lender
reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as Lender
may reasonably request including the following: (a) the name of the insurer; (b)
the risks insured; (c) the amount of the policy; (d) the property insured; (e)
the then current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the
manner of determining that value; and (f) the expiration date of the policy. In
addition, Grantor shall upon request by lender (however not more than annually)
have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable,
the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except
as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have
possession of the tangible person, property and beneficial use of all the
Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession
and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the
Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in
such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of
the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of
Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to
notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to
the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral,
whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if
Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender,
in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but
failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any right sin the Collateral against prior parties,
nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the
Indebtedness.
EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but
shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amount required to be discharged
or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without limitation all taxes,
liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, at any time levied or
place don the Collateral. Lender also may (but shall not be obligated to) pay
all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses shall become a
part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (a) be payable on demand,
(b) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable
with any installment payments to become due during either (i) the term of any
applicable insurance policy or (ii) the remaining term of the Note, or (c) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity. This Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be
entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

insolvency laws by or against Grantor.

proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any

upon the property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If

repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided that
Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after repossession.
SELL THE COLLATERAL. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or
otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or that

Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Grantor 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 before the
time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of the

it to payment of the Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may
determine. Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles,
insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar
property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust,
xxx for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine,
whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these purposes,
Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose
of mail addressed to Grantor; 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, Lender may notify account debtors and
obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.
OBTAIN DEFICIENCY. It Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral,
Lender may obtain a judgment against Grantor for any deficiency remaining on the
Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the

FORM OF COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by
this Agreement or the Related Documents or by any other writing, shall be

or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a
waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of
this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right
otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision
of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between
Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of
any of Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent
of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by
Lender 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 Lender.
