RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual possessory security
interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to
Lender all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts
with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including
without limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts
Borrower may open in the future, excluding however all XXX and XXXXX accounts,
and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be
prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against
any and all such accounts.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
Default on indebtedness. Failure of Borrower to make any payment when due on
the Loans.
Other Defaults. Failure of Borrower or any Grantor to comply with or to
perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained
in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents, or failure of
Borrower to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant
or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor default
under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person
that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's or any
Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations
under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any Grantor under this
Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
respect at the time made or furnished, or becomes false or misleading at any
time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any Security
Agreement to create a valid and perfected Security interest) at any time and
for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
going business, the Insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, any type of credit workout, or the commencement of any proceeding
under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower, any creditor
of any Grantor against any collateral securing the indebtedness, or by any
governmental agency. This includes a garnishment, attachment, or levy on or
of any of Borrower's deposit accounts with Lender. However, this Event of
Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or
Granty, as the case may be, as to the validity or reasonableness of the
claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, and if
Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and furnishes reserves or a surety bond for the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding satisfactory to Lender.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes
incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
Guaranty of the Indebtedness. Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be
required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the
obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender,
and, in doing so, cure the Event of Default.
Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or
more of the common stock of Borrower.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Indebtedness is impaired.
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given
a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it
may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if Borrower or
Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving written notice from Lender
demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default within fifteen (15)
days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately
initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be
sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments
and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any
other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make
Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all Indebtedness
immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to
Borrower, except that in case of an Event of Default of the type described in
the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not
optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in
the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as
may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies shall
be cumulative an may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender
to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an
election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of
Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default
and to exercise its rights and remedies.

Multiple Parties; Corporate Authority. All obligations of Borrower under
--------------------------------------
this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to Borrower
shall mean each and every Borrower. This means that each of the persons
signing below is responsible for all obligations in this Agreement.
Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's
------------------------------
sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation
interests in the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or
unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever,
to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or
knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating
to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy it may have
with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all
notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any
repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the
purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the
absolute owners of such interests in the Loans and will have all the rights
granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale
of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of
offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or
against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally
agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower's
obligation under the Loans irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any
holder of any interest in the Loans. Borrower further agrees that the
purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce its interests
irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have
against Lender.
Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's
-------------------
expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and
collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant
to this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help collect the Loans

includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys'
fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit,

this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties,
specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's address.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there is more than one
Borrower, notice to any Borrower will constitute notice to all Borrowers.
For notice purposes, Borrower will keep Lender informed at all times of
Borrower's current address(es).
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
-------------
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any
----------------------------------------
provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without

Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this
Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other
financial accommodation to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
-----------------------
behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Survival. All warranties, representations and covenants made by Borrower in
---------
this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been
relied upon by Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery
to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
Lender or on Lender's behalf.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
-------
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
delay 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 Borrower, or between Lender and any
Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any
obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor 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 in subsequent instances where such consent is required,
and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
discretion of Lender.

Principal Amount: $800,000.00 Date of Note: February 3, 1997
Initial Rate: 10.250%
PROMISE TO PAY. WEB PRESS CORPORATION AND WEB LEADER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
("Borrower") promises to pay to Washington First International Bank ("Lender"),
or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount
of Eight Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($800,000.00) or so much as may be
outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance
of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance
until repayment of each advance.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan on demand, or if no demand is made, in one
payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on
February 3, 1998. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of
accrued unpaid interest beginning March 3, 1997, and all subsequent interest
payments are due on the same day of each month after that. Interest on this Note
is computed on a 365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio
of the annual interest rate over the number of days in a year, multiplied by the
outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the
principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address
shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Unless
otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first
to any unpaid collection costs and any late charges, then to any unpaid
interest, and any remaining amount to principal.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on charges in an index which is Lender's Prime Rate (the
"Index"). This is the rate Lender charges, or would charge, on 90-day unsecured
loans to the most creditworthy corporate customers. This rate may or may not be
the lowest rate available from Lender at any given time. Lender will tell
Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. Borrower understands
that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate
change will not occur more often than each DAY. The index currently is 8.250%
per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of
this Note will be at a rate of 2.000 percentage points over the Index, resulting
in an initial rate of 10.250% per annum. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the
interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable
law.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance
charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to
refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except
as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without
penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early
payments will not, unless agreed to be Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of
Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest.
Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $15.00, whichever is greater.
DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when
due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Note or
any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan Borrower
has with Lender. (c) Borrower defaults under any loan, extension of credit,
security agreement, purchase of sales agreement, or any other agreement, in
favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of
Borrower's property or Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this
Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the Related
Documents. (d) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by
Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material respect
either now or at the time made or furnished. (i) Borrower becomes insolvent, a
receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's property, Borrower makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either
by Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (f)
Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender has
a lien or security interest. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's
accounts with Lender. (g) Any guarantor dies or any of the other events
described in this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this
Note. (h) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition,
or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the indebtedness is
impaired.
If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Borrower has
not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within
the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (an no event of default will
have occurred) if Borrower, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding
cure of such default: (a) cures the default within (15) days; or (b) if the cur
requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender
deems in LLender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and
thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient
to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon default, including failure
to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under
applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 7.000
percentage points over the index. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help
collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will pay Lender that
amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's
attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings
(including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. If not
prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in
addition to all other sums provided by law. This Note has been delivered to
Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of Washington. If there is a lawsuit,
Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the
courts of King County, the State of Washington. This Note shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $15.00 if Borrower
makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preathorized charge with
which Borrower pays is later dishonored.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual possessory security
interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to
Lender all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts
with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including
without limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts
Borrower may open in the future, excluding however all XXX and Xxxxx accounts,
and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be
prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on this Note against any and
all such accounts.
LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under
this Note may be requested only in writing by Borrower or by an authorized
person. All communications, instructions, or directions by telephone or
otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender's office shown above. The

declare payment of this Note on its demand. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing
any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrow and
any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent
allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of

================================================================================
Enforceability of Collateral. To the extent the Collateral consists of
accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, the Collateral is enforceable
in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and complies with applicable laws
concerning form, content and manner of preparation and execution, and all
persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have authority and capacity
to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear to be on the Collateral.
At the time any account becomes subject to a security interest in favor of
Lender, the account shall be a good and valid account representing an
undisputed, bona fide indebtedness incurred by the account debtor, for
merchandise held subject to delivery instructions or theretofore shipped or
delivered pursuant to a contract of sale, or for services theretofore performed
by Grantor with or for the account debtor; there shall be no setoffs or
counterclaims against any such account; and no agreement under which any
deductions or discounts may be claimed shall have been made with the account
debtor except those disclosed to Lender in writing.
Location of the Collateral. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to
Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and
Collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations, including without
limitation the following: (a) all real property owned or being purchased by
Grantor; (b) all real property being rented or leased by Grantor; (c) all
storage facilities owned, rented, leased, or being used by Grantor; and (d) all
other properties where Collateral is or may be located. Except in the ordinary
course of its business, Grantor shall not remove the Collateral from its
existing locations without the prior written consent of Lender.
Removal of Collateral. Grantor shall keep the Collateral (or to the extent the

concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address shown above, or at such other
locations as are acceptable to Lender. Except in the ordinary course of its
business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not remove the
Collateral from its existing locations without the prior written consent of
Lender. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or other titled
property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which would require
application for certificates of title for the vehicles outside the State of
Washington, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Transactions involving Collateral. Except for inventory sold or accounts
collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor shall not sell,
offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral. While
Grantor is not in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell inventory, but

buyer in the ordinary course of business. A sale in the ordinary course of
Grantor's business does not include a transfer in partial or total satisfaction
of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not pledge, mortgage, encumber or
otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any lien, security interest,
encumbrance, or charge, other than the security interest provided for in this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lender. This includes security
interests even if junior in right to the security interests granted under this
Agreement. Unless waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the
Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and shall not

constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition. Upon receipt,
Grantor shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender.
Title. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that it holds good and
marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing statement covering any of
the Collateral is on file in any public office other than those which reflect
the security interest created by this Agreement or to which Lender has
specifically consented. Grantor shall defend Lender's rights in the Collateral
against the claims and demands of all other persons.
Collateral Schedules and Locations. As often as Lender shall require, and
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. Lender and its designated
representatives and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to

immediately notify Lender of all cases involving the return, rejection,
repossession, loss or damage of or to any Collateral; of any request for credit
or adjustment or of any other dispute arising with respect to the Collateral;and
generally of all happenings and events affecting the Collateral or the value or
the amount of the Collateral.
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 Interests 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 surely 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 judgement 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.
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 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 Conversation
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
02-03-1997 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT Page 3
(Continued)
================================================================================
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 of 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 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 as 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 an 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 often 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 persona 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 of 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 rights in the Collateral against prior parties,
not 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 amounts 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 placed on 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.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
Default on Indebtedness. Failure of Grantor to make any payment when due on
the Indebtedness.
Other Defaults. Failure of Grantor to comply with or to perform any other
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in
any of the Related Documents or in any other agreement between Lender and
Grantor.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor default
under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person
that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's or any
Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective
obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor under this Agreement, the
Note or Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect,
either now or at the time made or furnished.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral
documents to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any
time and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any
governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collateral securing
the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's deposit
accounts with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or
reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount
determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve
or bond for the dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or such Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent. Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required
to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the obligations
arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in
doing so, cure the Event of Default.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or
02-03-1997 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT Page 4
(Continued)
================================================================================
performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure.
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Grantor has not been given a prior notice of a breach of the
same provision of this Agreement, it may be cured (and no Event of Default
will have occurred) if Grantor, after Lender sends written notice demanding
cure of such default, (a) cures the default within () days; or (b), if the
cure requires more than () days, immediately initiates steps which Lender
deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and
thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps
sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the Washington Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness,
including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay,
immediately due and payable, without notice.
Assemble Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or
any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and
other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be
designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the
property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the
Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time
of 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 of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or
private sale. 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 Collateral, including without
limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale
and selling the collateral, shall become a part of the indebtedness secured
by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note
rate from date of expenditure until repaid.

have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment of a
receiver: (a) Lender may have a receiver appointed as a matter of right,
(b) the receiver may be an employee of Lender and may serve without bond,
and (c) all fees of the receiver and his or her attorney shall become part

Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts. Lender, either itself or through a

security for the indebtedness or apply 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

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.

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 exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Grantor shall
be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this
subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.

a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as
may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may
exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law,
in equity, or otherwise.
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 cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by
Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy,
and any election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to
perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to
exercise its remedies.

execute and deliver its release and settlement for the claim; and (d) to
file any claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in
any proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Grantor, or
otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary or
advisable. This power is given as security for the indebtedness, and the
authority hereby conferred is and shall be irrevocable and shall remain in
full force and effect until renounced by Lender.
Preference Payments. Any monies Lender pays because of an asserted
preference claim in Borrower's bankruptcy will become a part of the
indebtedness and, at Lender's option, shall be payable by Borrower as
provided above in the "EXPENDITURES BY LENDER" paragraph.
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Successor Interests. Subject to the limitations set forth above on transfer
of the Collateral, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
delay 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.
Waiver of Co-obligor's Rights. If more than one person is obligated for the
indebtedness, Borrower irrevocably waives, disclaims and relinquishes all
claims against such other person which Borrower has or would otherwise have
by virtue of payment of the indebtedness or any part thereof, specifically
including but not limited to all rights of indemnity, contribution or
exoneration.

($800,000.00).
GUARANTY. For good and valuable consideration, XXXXX X. XXXXXXXXXXX
("Guarantor") absolutely and unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to
Washington First International Bank ("Lender") or its order, on demand, in
legal tender of the United States of America, the Indebtedness (as that term is
defined below) of WEB PRESS CORPORATION AND WEB LEADER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
("Borrower") to Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in this Guaranty.
DEFINITIONS. The following words shall have the following meanings when used in
this Guaranty:
Borrower. The word "Borrower" means WEB PRESS CORPORATION AND WEB LEADER
INTERNATIONAL, INC..
Guarantor. The word "Guarantor" means XXXXX X. XXXXXXXXXXX.
Guaranty. The word "Guaranty" means this Guaranty made by Guarantor for the
benefit of Lender dated February 3, 1997.
Indebtedness. The word "Indebtedness" means the Note, including (a) all
principal, (b) all interest, (c) all late charges, (d) all loan fees and
loan charges, and (e) all collection costs and expenses relating to the
Note or to any collateral for the Note. Collection costs and expenses
include without limitation all of Lender's attorney's fees and Lender's
legal expenses, whether or not suit is instituted, and attorneys' fee and
legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or
vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated
post-judgment collection services.
Lender. The word "Lender" means Washington First International Bank, its
successors and assigns.
Note. The word "Note" means the promissory note or credit agreement dated
February 3, 1997 in the original principal amount of $800,000.00 from
Borrower to Lender, together with all renewals of, extensions of,
modifications of, refinancings of, consolidations of, and substitutions for
the promissory note or agreement. Notice to Guarantor: The Note evidences a
revolving line of credit from Lender to Borrower.
Related Documents. The words "Related Documents" mean and include without
limitation all promissory notes, credit agreements, loan agreements,
environmental agreements, guaranties, mortgages, deeds of trust, and all
other instruments, agreements and documents, whether now or hereafter
existing, executed in condition with the indebtedness.
MAXIMUM LIABILITY. The maximum liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall
not exceed at any one time the amount of the indebtedness described above, plus
all costs and expenses of (a) enforcement of this Guaranty and (b) collection
and sale of any collateral securing this Guaranty.
The above limitation on the liability is not a restriction on the amount of the
Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender either in the aggregate or at any one time.
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives
additional guaranties from Guarantor, the rights of Lender under all guaranties
shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall not (unless specifically provided below
to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other guaranties. The liability
of Guarantor will be the aggregate liability of Guarantor under the terms of
this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.
NATURE OF GUARANTY. Guarantor intends to guarantee at all times the performance
and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier by reason of
acceleration or otherwise, of all indebtedness within the limits set forth in
the proceeding section of this Guaranty. Any married person who signs this
Guaranty hereby expressly agrees that recourse under this agreement may be had
against both his or her separate property and community property, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired. This Guaranty covers a revolving line of credit and
guarantor understands and agrees that this guarantee shall be open and
continuous until the line of credit is terminated and the Indebtedness is paid
in full, as provided below.
DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender
without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to Guarantor or
to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all Indebtedness shall have
been fully paid and satisfied and all other obligations of Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall have been performed in full. Release of any other guarantor or
termination of any other guaranty of the Indebtedness shall not affect the
liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A revocation received by Lender from
any one or more Guarantors shall not effect the liability of any remaining
Guarantors under this Guaranty. This Guaranty covers a revolving line of credit
and it is specifically anticipated that fluctuations will occur in the aggregate
amount of indebtedness owing from Borrower to Lender. Grantor specifically
acknowledges and agrees that fluctuations in the amount of indebtedness, even to
zero dollars($0.00), shall not constitute a termination of this Guaranty.
Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty shall terminate only upon (a)
termination in writing by Borrower and Lender of the line of credit, (b) payment
of the indebtedness in full in legal tender, and (c) payment in full in legal
tender of all other obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
GUARANTOR'S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER. Guarantor authorizes Lender, without notice
or demand and without lessening Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty, from
time to time: (a) to make one or more additional secured loans to Borrower, to
lease equipment or other goods to Borrower, or otherwise to extend additional
credit to Borrower; (b) to alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or
otherwise change one or more times the time of payment or other terms of the
Indebtedness or any part of the Indebtedness, including increases and decreases
of the rate of interest on the Indebtedness; extensions may be repeated and may
be for longer than the original loan term; (c) to take and hold security for the
payment of the Guaranty of the Indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive,
subordinated, fail or decide not to perfect, and release any such security, with
or without the substitution of new collateral; (d) to release, substitute, agree
not to xxx, or deal with any one or more of Borrower's sureties, endorsers, or
other guarantors on any terms or in any manner Lender may choose; (e) to
determine how, when and what application of payments and credits shall be made
on the Indebtedness; (f) to apply such security and direct the order or manner
of sale thereof, including without limitation, any nonjudicial sale permitted by
the terms of the controlling security agreement or deed of trust, as Lender in
its discretion may determine; (g) to sell, transfer, assign, or grant
participations in all or any part of the Indebtedness; and (h) to assign or
transfer this Guaranty in whole or in part.
GUARANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor represents and warrants to
Lender that (a) no representations or agreements

and not at the request of Lender; (c) Guarantor has full power, right and
authority to enter into this Guaranty; (d) the provisions of this Guaranty do

court decree or order applicable to Guarantor; (e) Guarantor has not and will

hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of
Guarantor's assets, or any interest therein; (f) upon Lender's request,
Guarantor will provide to Lender financial and credit information in form
acceptable to Lender, and all such financial information which currently has
been, and all future financial information which will be provided to Lender is
and will be true and correct in all material respects and fairly present the
financial condition of Guarantor as of the dates the financial information is
provided; (g) no material adverse change has occurred in Guarantor's financial
condition since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to

against Guarantor is pending or threatened; (i) Lender has made no
representation to Guarantor as to the creditworthiness of Borrower; and (j)
Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower on a
continuing basis information regarding Borrower's financial condition. Guarantor
agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events, or
circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor's risks under this
Guaranty, and Guarantor further agrees that, absent a request for information,
Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Guarantor any information or
documents acquired by Lender in the course of its relationship with Borrower.
GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Guarantor waives
any right to require Lender (a) to continue lending money or to extend other
credit to Borrower; (b) to make any presentment, protest, demand, or notice of
any kind, including notice of any nonpayment of the Indebtedness or of any
nonpayment related to any collateral, or notice of any action or nonaction on
the part of Borrower, Lender, any surety, endorser, or other guarantor in
connection with the Indebtedness or in connection with the creation of new or
additional loans or obligations; (c) to resort for payment or to proceed
directly or at once against any person, including Borrower or any other
guarantor; (d) to proceed directly against or exhaust any collateral held by
Lender from Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person; (e) to pursue
any other remedy within Lender's power; or (f) to commit any act or omission of
any kind, or at any time, with respect to any matter whatsoever.
If now or hereafter (a) Borrower shall be or become insolvent, and (b) the
indebtedness shall not at all times until paid by fully secured by collateral
pledged by Borrower, Guarantor hereby forever waives and relinquishes in favor
of Lender and Borrower, and their respective successors, any claim or right to
payment Guarantor may now have or hereafter have or acquire against Borrower, by
subrogation or otherwise, so that at no time shall Guarantor be or become a
"creditor" of Borrower within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. section 547(b), or any
successor provision of the Federal bankruptcy laws.
Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (a)
any "one action" or "anti-deficiency" law or any other law which may prevent
Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against
Guarantor, before or after Lender's commencement or completion of any
foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (b) any
election of remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise adversely affects
Guarantor's subrogation rights or Guarantor's rights to proceed against Borrower
for reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor
may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the
Indebtedness; (c) any disability or other defense of Borrower, of any other
guarantor, or of any other person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrower's
liability from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full in legal tender,
of the Indebtedness; (d) any right to claim discharge of the indebtedness on the
basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for the indebtedness; (e) any
statute of limitations, if at any time any action or suit brought by Lender
against Guarantor is commenced there is outstanding indebtedness of Borrower to
Lender which is not barred by any applicable statute of limitations; or (f) any
defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and
performance of the Indebtedness. If payment is made by Borrower, whether
voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third party, on the Indebtedness and
thereafter Lender is forced to remit the amount of that payment to Borrower's
trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any federal or state
bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, the Indebtedness shall be
considered unpaid for the purpose of enforcement of this Guaranty.
Guarantor further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any
deductions to the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim of setoff,
counterclaim, counter demand, recoupment or similar right, whether such claim,
demand or right may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.
GUARANTOR'S UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS. Guarantor warrants and agrees
that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor's full knowledge
of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the
waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any such
waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such
waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy.
LENDER'S RIGHT OF SETOFF. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff
against the moneys, securities or other property of Guarantor given to Lender by
law, Lender shall have, with respect to Guarantor's obligations to Lender under
this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual possessory
security interest in and a right of setoff against, and Guarantor hereby
assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all of Guarantor's
right, title and interest in and to, all deposits, moneys, securities and other
property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with
Lender, whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held
jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise,
excluding however all XXX, Xxxxx, and trust accounts. Every such security
interest and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to
Guarantor. No security interest or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or conduct on the part of Lender or by any neglect to exercise
such right of setoff or to enforce such security interest or by any delay in so
doing. Every right of setoff and security interest shall continue in full force
and effect until such right of setoff or security interest is specifically
waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Lender.
SUBORDINATION OF BORROWER'S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR. Guarantor agrees that the
Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter created,
shall be prior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire
against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Guarantor hereby
expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may have against Borrower, upon any
account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may now or hereafter have against
Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent liquidation of the assets of
Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by
voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the
payment of the claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and
shall be first applied by Lender to the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender.
Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which it may have or acquire
against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower;
provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose
of assuring to Lender full payment in legal lender of the Indebtedness. If
Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing
any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend
that the same are subject to this Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender.
Guarantor agrees, and Lender hereby is authorized, in the name of Guarantor,
from time to time to execute and file financing statements and continuation
statements and to execute such other documents and to take such other actions as
Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its
rights under this Guaranty.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Guaranty:
Amendments. This Guaranty, together with any Related Documents, constitutes
the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set
forth in this Guaranty. No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty
shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or
parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.

injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services.

directed by the court.

Guarantor, then all words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall be

to inquire into the powers of Borrower or Guarantor or of the officers,
directors, partners, or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf,
and any indebtedness made or created in reliance-upon the professed exercise
of such powers shall be guaranteed under this Guaranty.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Guaranty unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
delay 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 Guaranty 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 Guaranty. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
course of dealing between Lender and Guarantor, shall constitute a waiver of
any of Lender's rights or of any of Guarantor's obligations as to any future
transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this
Guaranty, 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.
