Bank the right to receive proceeds of such insurance to the full amount of the
Secured Obligations and hereby directs any insurer to pay all proceeds directly
to U. S. Bank, and authorizes U. S. Bank to endorse any draft. In U. S. Bank's

rights and remedies in the Credit Agreement and in any other Loan Documents and
any other rights and remedies at law and in equity, simultaneously or
consecutively, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The choice

or in equity.
(b) No delay or omission by U. S. Bank in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy,
