2.2. Seniority. The payment of the Notes is senior to all other obligations of Debtor whether now existing or hereinafter incurred except for: (1) existing asset-based borrowings and lines of credit from commercial or financial institutions, including Madison Leasing or Central Leasing; and (2) indebtedness approved by the prior written consent from Secured Parties holding at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of the then outstanding and unpaid principal on the Notes issued under the Private Placement.

3. DEBTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Debtor represents and warrants that:
3.1. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants are within Debtor’s corporate powers, and are not in contravention of law nor of the terms of Debtor’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as amended, nor of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which Debtor is a party or by which it is bound.
3.2. Place of Business. Debtor’s principal place of business is located at the address provided on the signature page of this Agreement, and Debtor keeps its records concerning inventory, accounts, contract rights and other property at that location.
3.3. Title to Collateral. With the exception of liens created hereunder and liens related to certain existing asset-based borrowings and lines of credit from Madison Leasing or Central Leasing, Debtor owns all of its personal property and has good, clear and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
3.4. Collateral and Perfection. Neither Debtor nor, to the best of Debtor’s knowledge, any affiliate (as such term is used in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Affiliates”)) have performed any acts which might prevent the Representative from enforcing any of the terms of this Agreement or which would limit the Representative in any such enforcement. No collateral is in the possession of any person (other than Debtor) asserting any claim thereto or security interest therein. The security interests created hereunder constitute valid security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code securing the Obligations to the extent that a security interest may be created in the Collateral.
4. GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF DEBTOR
4.1. Financing Statements. Debtor agrees to execute one or more financing statements, to pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is required by applicable law to perfect a security interest or is deemed by Secured Parties to be necessary or desirable and to execute such other documents as Secured Parties shall reasonably request.
4.2. Insurance. Debtor agrees to keep or cause to be kept all the Collateral insured with coverages in amounts not less than usually carried by one engaged in a like business.
4.3. Inspection. Debtor will keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral and provide Secured Parties or any of their agents with the right to: (1) inspect the Collateral wherever located; (2) visit Debtor’s place or places of business; and (3) audit, check and make extracts from any copies of books, records, journals, orders, receipts and correspondence that relate to the Collateral or to the general financial condition of Debtor or any Affiliate. The rights granted to Secured Parties shall be subject to prior written notice of five (5) business days, shall be at reasonable intervals and shall not adversely affect, disrupt or hinder Debtor’s operations.
4.4. Negative Pledge. Debtor will not assign any accounts or other Collateral to any person other than Secured Parties, nor create or permit to be created any lien, encumbrance or security interest of any kind on any of its accounts, contract rights or inventory other than for the benefit of Secured Parties, nor grant or permit to be granted any corporate guaranty other than for the benefit of Secured Parties, except in connection with: (1) debt expressly subordinate to the Notes; or (2) purchase price liens.
4.5. Existence; Perfection. Debtor will maintain its corporate existence in good standing comply with all laws and regulations of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, or of any governmental authority which may have jurisdiction over it or its business.

3
thereof and delivered an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Secured Parties with respect thereto. Debtor will not establish or change the location of its chief executive office or its chief place of business or except in the ordinary course of business, the locations where it keeps or holds any Collateral or records relating thereto or in any event change the location of any Collateral if such change would cause the security interests hereunder to lapse or cease to be perfected.
4.6. Taxes. Debtor will pay all real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges as well as all franchise, income, unemployment, old age benefit, withholding, sales and other taxes assessed against it, or payable by it at such times and in such manner as to prevent any penalty from accruing or any lien or charge from attaching to its property, and will furnish Secured Parties upon request, receipts or other evidence that deposits or payments have been made.

6.1. Acceleration. Subject to the terms of the Notes, the Representative may make all Obligations under this or any other agreement with Debtor immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, hearing or notice of any kind and may exercise the rights of a secured party under law or under the terms of this or any other agreement with Debtor.

Upon such sale, a Secured Party may become the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Collateral, discharged from all claims and free from any right of redemption. In case of any such sale by the Representative of all or any of said Collateral on credit or for future delivery, property so sold may be retained by the Representative until the selling price is paid by the purchaser. The Representative shall incur no liability in case of the failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the property so sold. In case of any such failure, the said property may again be sold.
6.3. Power of Attorney and Notification.

Upon request of the Representative, Debtor will so notify such account debtors and will indicate on all xxxxxxxx to such account debtors that their accounts must be paid to the Representative. Debtor does hereby appoint the Representative and its agents as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact: to, upon an event of default hereunder, collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or in the name of Debtor; to endorse the name of Debtor upon any Note, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments, documents, receipts or Collateral that may come into its possession and to apply the same in full or part payment of any amounts owing to Secured Parties; to sign and endorse the name of Debtor upon any documents, instruments, drafts against account debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts, and any instrument or document relating thereto or to Debtor’s rights therein; and to give written notice to any office and officials of the United States Post Office to effect such change or changes of address that all mail addressed to Debtor may be delivered directly to the Representative. Debtor hereby grants to its said attorney-in-fact full power to do any and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully and effectually as Debtor might or could do, and hereby ratifies all that its attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable for the term of this Agreement for all transactions hereunder and thereafter as long as Debtor may be indebted to Secured Parties.
6.4. Application of Proceeds. Any and all proceeds of any Collateral realized or obtained by Representative upon exercise of the rights and remedies hereunder, shall be applied as follows:
6.4.1. Toward the payment of any and all costs and expenses, fees and commission and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization incurred by the Representative or any Secured Party:
