expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part
of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to
Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is
reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice or demand or
legal process, enter upon any premises of Debtor and take possession of the

redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now
existing or hereafter enacted.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Secured
Party shall have the right to enter upon the premises of Debtor where the

believed to be located and kept, to render the Collateral useable or
saleable, to remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of Secured
Party or any agent of Secured Party for such time as Secured Party may

the safe custody thereof, Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to any
Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of any
agent or bailee) or with respect to any income thereon or the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Secured
Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. Secured
Party shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the
Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or
omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other

of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon,

surplus and Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

of protecting, storing, warehousing, appraising, insuring, handling, maintaining
and shipping the Collateral, all costs, fees and expenses of perfecting and
maintaining the Security Interests, and any and all excise, property, sales and
use taxes imposed by any state, federal or local authority on any of the
Collateral, or with respect to periodic appraisals and inspections of the
Collateral, or with respect to the sale or other disposition thereof. If Debtor
fails promptly to pay any portion of the above expenses when due or to perform
any other obligation of Debtor under this Agreement, Secured Party may, at its
option, but shall not be required to, pay or perform the same, and Debtor agrees
to reimburse Secured Party therefore on demand. All sums so paid or incurred by
Secured Party for any of the foregoing, any and all other sums for which Debtor
may become liable hereunder and all costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees, legal expenses and court costs) incurred by Secured Party in enforcing or
protecting the Security Interests or any of their rights or remedies under this
