of any goods purporting to be represented by any such documents; and Lender, by
accepting a Lien on the Collateral or by releasing any Collateral to a

may not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) A Guarantor remains liable to perform all of its duties and

SECTION 7
PROVISIONS CONCERNING COLLATERAL
SECTION 7.1. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each Guarantor shall execute and
deliver to Lender, concurrent with Guarantor's execution of this Agreement and
at any time or times hereafter at the request of Lender, all financing
statements, continuation financing statements, security agreements, chattel
mortgages, assignments, endorsements of certificates of title, applications for
titles, affidavits, reports, notices, schedules of accounts, letters of
authority and all other documents Lender may reasonably request, in form
satisfactory to Lender, to perfect and maintain perfected Lender's Liens in the
Collateral and in order to consummate fully all of the transactions contemplated
under the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes,
and appoints Lender (and any of Lender's officers, employees or agents
designated by Lender) as such Guarantor's true and lawful attorney with power to
sign the name of Guarantor on any of the above-described documents or on any
other similar documents that need to be executed, recorded, or filed in order to
perfect or continue perfected Lender's Liens in the Collateral. The appointment
of Lender as each Guarantor's attorney is irrevocable as long as any Obligations
are outstanding. Any person dealing with Lender is entitled to rely conclusively
on any written or oral statement of Lender that this power of attorney is in
effect.
SECTION 7.2. LENDER'S DUTY OF CARE. Lender has no duty of care with
respect to the Collateral except that Lender shall exercise reasonable care with
respect to the Collateral in
6
7
Lender's custody. Lender will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if
such property is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender
accords its own property or if Lender takes such action with respect to the
Collateral as a Guarantor requests or agrees to in writing, provided that no
failure to comply with any such request nor any omission to do any such act
requested by Guarantor may be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
Lender's failure to take steps to preserve rights against any parties or
property may not be deemed to be failure to exercise reasonable care with
respect to the Collateral in Lender's custody. All risk, loss, damage or
destruction of the Collateral is borne by each Guarantor.
SECTION 7.3. REINSTATEMENT OF LIENS. If, at any time after payment in
full of all Obligations and termination of Lender's Liens, any payments on
Obligations previously made by a Guarantor or any other Person must be disgorged
by Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, the insolvency, bankruptcy, or
reorganization of a Guarantor or such other Person), this Agreement and Lender's
Liens granted hereunder are reinstated as to all disgorged payments as though
such payments had not been made, and a Guarantor shall sign and deliver to
Lender all documents and things necessary to perfect all terminated Liens.
SECTION 7.4. LENDER EXPENSES. If a Guarantor fails to pay any moneys
(whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or otherwise) due to third
persons or entities, fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of
payment or deposit or fails to discharge any Lien not permitted hereby, all as
required under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may, to the extent that
it determines that such failure by a Guarantor could have a material adverse
effect on Lender's interest in the Collateral, in its discretion and without
prior notice to such Guarantor, make payment of the same or any part thereof.
Any amounts paid or deposited by Lender constitute Advances, become part of the
Obligations, and are secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Lender do
not constitute (a) an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future
or (b) a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Lender
need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax,
security interest, encumbrance or Lien, and the receipt of the usual official
notice for the payment of moneys to a governmental entity is conclusive evidence
that the same was validly due and owing. Each Guarantor hereby authorizes and
approves all advances and payments by Lender for items constituting Lender
Expenses.
SECTION 7.5. INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL AND RECORDS. During usual
business hours, Lender may inspect and examine the Collateral and check and test
the same as to quality, quantity, value and condition. Lender also has the right
at any time or times hereafter, during usual business hours to inspect and
verify each Guarantor's Books in order to verify the amount or condition of, or
any other matter relating to, the Collateral and to copy and make extracts
therefrom. Each Guarantor waives the right to assert a confidential
relationship, if any, it may have with any accounting firm or service bureau in
connection with any information requested by Lender pursuant to this Agreement.
Lender may directly contact any such accounting firm or service bureau in order
to obtain such information.
SECTION 7.6. WAIVERS. Except as specifically provided for herein, each
Guarantor waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or
dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at
maturity, release, compromise, settlement,

(e) (i) endorse Guarantor's name on all checks, notes, drafts, money
orders or other forms of payment of or security for Accounts or other
Collateral; (ii) sign Guarantor's name on drafts drawn on Account Debtors or
issuers of letters of credit; and (iii) notify the postal authorities in
Guarantor's name to change the address for delivery of Guarantor's mail to an
address designated by Lender, receive and open all mail addressed to Guarantor,
copy all mail, return all mail relating to Collateral, and hold all other mail
available for pickup by Guarantor.
SECTION 11.2. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Guarantor hereby appoints Lender
(and any of Lender's officers, employees, or agents designated by Lender) as
such Guarantor's attorney, with power whether before or after the occurrence of
an Event of Default: (a) to endorse Guarantor's name on any checks, notes,
acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may
come into Lender's possession; (b) to sign Guarantor's name on drafts against
Account Debtors, on schedules and assignments of Accounts, on verifications of
Accounts, and on notices to Account Debtors; (c) to notify the post office
authorities to change the address for delivery of Guarantor's mail to an address
designated by Lender, to receive and open all mail addressed to Guarantor and to
retain all mail relating to the Collateral and forward all other mail to
Guarantor; (d) to send requests for verification of Accounts; (e) to execute UCC
Financing Statements; and (f) to do all things necessary to carry out this
Agreement. The appointment of Lender as each Guarantor's attorney and each and
every one of Lender's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, are
irrevocable as long as any Obligations are outstanding. Lender may not exercise
the power granted in clauses 11.2(a) through 11.2(c) unless an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and may not exercise the power granted in clause
11.2(d) prior to notification of a Guarantor of its intent to do so, but such
limitations do not limit the effectiveness of such power of attorney at any
time. Any person dealing with Lender is entitled to rely conclusively on any
written or oral statement of Lender that this power of attorney is in effect.
Lender may also use each Guarantor's stationery in connection with exercising
its rights and remedies and performing the Obligations of a Guarantor.
SECTION 11.3. EXPENSES SECURED. All expenses, including attorney fees,
incurred by Lender in the exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this
Agreement or by law are payable by each Guarantor to Lender, are part of the
Obligations, and are secured by the Collateral.
SECTION 11.4. EQUITABLE RELIEF. Each Guarantor recognizes that in the
event such Guarantor fails to perform, observe, or discharge any of its
Obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, no remedy of law will provide
adequate relief to Lender, and Lender is entitled
13
14
to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the
necessity of proving actual damages.
SECTION 11.5. REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE. No remedy set forth herein is
exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each is cumulative and
in addition to every other right or remedy given under this Agreement or under
any other agreement between Lender and a Guarantor or Borrower or any other
Guarantor or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Lender
may pursue its rights and remedies concurrently or in any sequence, and no
exercise of one right or remedy may be deemed to be an election. No delay by
Lender constitutes a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. Each Guarantor on
its behalf waives any rights to require Lender to proceed against Borrower or
any other Guarantor or any other party; or proceed against or exhaust any
security held from Borrower or any other Guarantor. Lender may at any time and
from time to time, without notice to, or consent of, a Guarantor, and without
affecting or impairing the obligation of Guarantor hereunder do any of the
following: (i) renew or extend any obligations of Borrower or any other
Guarantor, or of any other party at any time directly or contingently liable for
payment of any of the obligations of Borrower or any other Guarantor; (ii)
accept partial payments of the obligations of Borrower or any other Guarantor;
(iii) settle, release (by operation of law or otherwise), compound, compromise,
collect or liquidate any of the obligations of Borrower or any other Guarantor
and the security therefor in any manner; (iv) consent to the transfer or sale of
any security or bid and purchase at any sale of any security of either Borrower
or any other Guarantor. The validity of this Agreement and the Obligations of a
Guarantor are not terminated, affected or impaired by reason of the waiving,
delaying, exercising or non-exercising, of any of Lender's rights against
Borrower or any other Guarantor or as a result of the substitution, release,
repossession, sale, disposition or destruction of any Collateral securing any
obligations of Borrower or any other Guarantor. A Guarantor is not released or
discharged, either in whole or in part, by Lender's failure or delay to perfect
or continue the perfection of any security interest in any Collateral which
secures the obligations of Borrower or any other Guarantor or to protect the
property covered by such security interest.
SECTION 12
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 12.1. DELAY AND WAIVER. No delay or omission to exercise any
right impairs any such right or be a waiver thereof, but any such right may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver on
one occasion is limited to that particular occasion.
SECTION 12.2. COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Schedules and the
other Loan Documents are the complete agreement of the parties hereto and
supersede all previous understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing that explicitly
states that it amends this Agreement and is signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the amendment is sought. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which will constitute
a single agreement.

SECTION 12.3. SEVERABILITY; HEADINGS. If any part of this Agreement or
the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
remainder of this Agreement is unaffected thereby. The section headings herein
are included for convenience only and may not be deemed to be a part of this
Agreement.
SECTION 12.4. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement is binding upon and inures
to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns
of the parties hereto; provided however, a Guarantor may not assign any of its
rights or delegate any of its Obligations hereunder. Lender (and any subsequent
assignee) may transfer and assign this Agreement and deliver the Collateral to
the assignee, who thereupon has all of the rights of Lender; and Lender (or such
subsequent assignee who in turn assigns as aforesaid) is then relieved and
discharged of any responsibility or liability with respect to this Agreement and
said Collateral.
SECTION 12.5. NOTICES. Any notices under or pursuant to this Agreement
are deemed duly sent when delivered in hand or when mailed by registered or
