ARTICLE V
PROVISIONS CONCERNING ALL COLLATERAL
5.1 Protection of Security Interest. The Grantor will do nothing to
impair the rights of the Secured Party in the Collateral. The Grantor shall not
sell, convey or otherwise transfer all or any part of the Collateral or any
rights therein. The Grantor will at all times keep the Collateral insured in
favor of the Secured Party, at its own expense, to the Secured Party's
reasonable satisfaction against fire, theft and all other risks to which such
Collateral may be subject; all policies or certificates with respect to such
insurance shall be endorsed to the Secured Party's satisfaction for the benefit
of the Secured Party (including, without limitation, by naming the Secured Party
as loss payee) and deposited with the Secured Party. If the Grantor shall fail
to insure the Collateral to the Secured Party's reasonable satisfaction, or if
the Grantor shall fail to so endorse and deposit all policies or certificates
with respect thereto, the Secured Party shall have the right (but shall be under
no obligation) to procure such insurance and the Grantor agrees to reimburse the
Secured Party for all costs and expenses of procuring such insurance. The
Secured Party may apply any proceeds of such insurance when received by it
toward the payment of any of the Obligations to the extent the same shall then
be due. The Grantor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with
the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of the Grantor to pay its
Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that
such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason
whatsoever unavailable to the Grantor.
5.2 Further Actions. The Grantor will, at its own expense, make,
execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Secured Party from
time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its Collateral,
financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates,
reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating
to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest
hereby granted, which the Secured Party deems reasonably appropriate or
advisable to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the
Collateral.
5.3 Financing Statements. The Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to
the Secured Party such financing statements, including recordations in the
applicable Patent and Xxxx registries, in form acceptable to the Secured Party,
as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request or as are
necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Secured Party to establish and
maintain a valid, enforceable, first priority security interest in the
Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and security contemplated
herein, all in accordance with the UCC as enacted in any and all relevant
jurisdictions or any other relevant law. The Grantor will pay any applicable
filing fees and related expenses. The Grantor hereby authorizes the Secured
Party to file any such financing statements or recordations without the
signature of the Grantor.

ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT
6.1 Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default. The Grantor agrees
that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in
every such case, subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law then in
effect, the Secured Party, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing
under applicable law, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under the UCC
in all relevant jurisdictions and may:
(a) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from the Grantor or any other
Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or
process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon the Grantor's premises where
any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with
such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the
Grantor;
(b) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or
other obligation constituting the Collateral to render any performance required
by the terms of such instrument or agreement directly to the Secured Party;
(c) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Grantor to
sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, any or all of the Collateral or any part
thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;
and
(d) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by
directing the Grantor in writing to deliver the same to the Secured Party at any
place or places designated by the Secured Party, in which event the Grantor
shall at its own expense:
(i) promptly cause the same to be moved to the place or
places so designated by the Secured Party and there be delivered
to the Secured Party,
(ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the
Secured Party at such place or places pending further action by
the Secured Party as provided in Section 6.2, and
(iii) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept,
provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be
necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them
in good condition;
it being understood that the Grantor's obligation so to deliver the Collateral
is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a
court of equity having jurisdiction, the Secured Party shall be entitled to a
decree requiring specific performance by the Grantor of said obligation.
6.2 Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. Any Collateral repossessed
by the Secured Party under or pursuant to Section 6.1, and any other Collateral
whether or not so repossessed by the Secured Party, may be sold, assigned,
leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety,
and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be
sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or
places and on such terms as the
6
Secured Party may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable
law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold,
leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when
taken by the Secured Party or after any overhaul or repair which the Secured
Party shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such disposition which
shall be a private sale or other private proceeding permitted by such
requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days' prior written notice to
the Grantor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the
intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for
the 10 days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the Grantor or any
nominee of the Grantor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such
other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other
consideration so specified. Any such disposition which shall be a public sale
permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days' prior
written notice to the Grantor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in
the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction (which
may, at the Secured Party's option, be subject to reserve), after publication of
notice of such auction not less than 10 days prior thereto in two newspapers in
general circulation in Southern California. To the extent permitted by any such
requirement of law, the Secured Party may bid for and become the purchaser of
the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this
Section 6.2 without accountability to the Grantor (except to the extent of
surplus money received as provided in Section 6.4). If, under mandatory
requirements of applicable law, the Secured Party shall be required to make
disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the
giving of notice to the Grantor as hereinabove specified, the Secured Party need
give the Grantor only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably
practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of applicable law.
6.3 Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
THE GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND
JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE SECURED PARTY'S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE
SECURED PARTY'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR
REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH GRANTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and the
Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:
(a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any
damages which are the direct result of the Secured Party's gross negligence or
willful misconduct;
(b) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale
or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Secured Party's
rights hereunder; and
(c) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in
order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale
of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and the Grantor, for itself and all
who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may,
hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon,
any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and
demand, either at law or in equity, of the Grantor therein and thereto, and
shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Grantor and
7
against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so
sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under
the Grantor.
6.4 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any Collateral obtained
pursuant to Section 6.1 or disposed of pursuant to Section 6.2 shall be applied
as follows:
(a) to the payment of any and all expenses and fees (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Secured Party in obtaining, taking
possession of, removing, insuring, repairing, storing and disposing of
Collateral and any and all amounts incurred by the Secured Party in connection
therewith;
(b) next, any surplus then remaining to the payment of the
Obligations in the following order of priority:
(i) all interest accrued and unpaid;
(ii) the principal amount owing on the Loans; and
(iii) all other Obligations then owing;
(c) if the Commitment is then terminated and no other Obligation is
outstanding, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Grantor, subject,
however, to the rights of the holder of any then existing Lien of which the
Secured Party has actual notice (without investigation); provided, that Secured
Party shall give written notice to Grantor of such third party Lien;
it being understood that the Grantor shall remain liable to the extent of any
deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the
aggregate amount of the sums referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section
6.4 with respect to the Grantor.
6.5 Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Secured
Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Grantor and the Secured Party
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and
remedies herein or in any other Loan Document expressly provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Secured Party
would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Grantor in any case shall
entitle the Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Secured Party to any
other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
6.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Secured Party shall have
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this
Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall
have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Secured Party, then and in every such case the Grantor, the
Secured Party and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral
subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Secured Party shall continue as if no such proceeding
had been instituted.

(a) The Grantor agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold the Secured
Party and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents
(hereinafter in this Section 7.1 referred to individually as "Indemnitee" and
collectively as "Indemnitees") harmless from any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) (for the purposes of this Section 7.1 the foregoing are collectively
called "expenses") of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on,
asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the documents executed
in connection herewith and therewith or in any other way connected with the
administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or the
enforcement of any of the terms of or the preservation of any rights under any
thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership,
ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession,
operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition or use of the Collateral
(including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not
discoverable), the violation of the laws of any country, state or other
governmental body or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims
arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account

property damage) or any contract claim; provided that no Indemnitee shall be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) for expenses to the extent caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The Grantor
agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee of any assertion that could
give rise to an expense, the Grantor shall assume full responsibility for the
defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to use its best efforts to promptly
notify the Grantor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge.
(b) Without limiting the application of Section 7.1(a), the Grantor
agrees to pay, or reimburse the Secured Party for (if the Secured Party shall
have incurred fees, costs or expenses because the Grantor shall have failed to
comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document),
any and all fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in
connection with the creation, preservation or protection of the Secured Party's
Liens on, and security interest in, the Collateral, including, without
limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of
instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes
or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance with

with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and the Secured
Party's interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or
in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or
relating to the Collateral.
(c) Without limiting the application of Section 7.1(a) or (b), the
Grantor agrees to pay, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and
against any expenses which such Indemnitee may suffer, expend or incur in
consequence of or growing out of any misrepresentation by the Grantor in this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in any statement or writing
contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
9
(d) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Grantor under
this Section 7.1 are unenforceable for any reason, Grantor hereby agrees to make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations
which is permissible under applicable law.
7.2 Indemnity Obligations Secured by Collateral; Survival. Any amounts
paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to
reimbursement shall constitute obligations secured by the Collateral. The
indemnity obligations of the Grantor contained in this Article VII shall
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all the
Note and all of the other Obligations and notwithstanding the discharge thereof.
