5.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, and at any time thereafter, GBC, at its option, and without notice or
demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Debtor), may do
any one or more of the following: (a) Accelerate and declare all or any part of
the Obligations to be immediately due, payable, and performable, notwithstanding
any deferred or installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or
relating to any Obligation; (b) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral
wherever it may be found, and for that purpose Debtor hereby authorizes GBC
without judicial process to enter onto any of Debtor's premises without
interference to search for, take possession of, keep, store, or remove any of
the Collateral, and remain on the premises or cause a custodian to remain on the
premises in exclusive control thereof, without charge for so long as GBC deems
it reasonably necessary in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under
this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, however, that should GBC seek
to take possession of any of the Collateral by Court process, Debtor hereby
irrevocably waives: (i) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto
required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such
possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit
or action to recover possession thereof; and (iii) any requirement that GBC

from time to time without notice other than oral announcement at the time
scheduled for sale. GBC shall have the right to conduct such disposition on
Debtor's premises without charge, for such time or times as GBC deems
reasonable, or on GBC's premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be
located at the place of disposition. GBC may directly or through any affiliated
company purchase or lease any Collateral at any such public disposition, and if

disposition of Collateral shall not relieve Debtor of any liability Debtor may
have if any Collateral is defective as to title or physical condition or

interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the
Obligations.

complies with the following standards will conclusively be deemed to be
commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to Debtor at least
seven days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public sale, notice of the
sale is published at least seven days before the sale in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted; (ii) Notice of the
sale describes the collateral in general, non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is
conducted at a place designated by GBC, with or without the Collateral being
present; (iv) The sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m;
(v) Payment of the purchase price in cash or by cashier's check or wire transfer
is required; (vi) With respect to any sale of any of the Collateral, GBC may

if they are commercially reasonable.
5.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, without limiting GBC's other rights and remedies, Debtor
grants to GBC an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest,
authorizing and permitting GBC (acting through any of its employees, attorneys
or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without
notice to Debtor, and at Debtor's expense, to do any or all of the following, in
Debtor's name or otherwise, but GBC agrees to exercise the following powers in
a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Debtor any documents
that GBC may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect and
maintain GBC's security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a
right of Debtor or GBC, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions
contemplated under this Agreement, and all other present and future agreements;
(b) Execute on behalf of Debtor any document exercising, transferring or
assigning any option to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of or to lease (as
lessor or lessee) any real or personal property which is part of GBC's

materialman's or other lien; (d) Take control in any manner of any cash or
non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of
Debtor upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral
that may come into GBC's possession; (e) Endorse all checks and other forms

Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to

therewith; (h) Pay any sums required on account of Debtor's taxes or to
secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (i) Settle and adjust, and
give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral

has under this Agreement; and (k) Take any action or pay any sum required of
Debtor pursuant to this Agreement and any other present or future agreements.
Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses,
liabilities, obligations and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by GBC with
respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the
Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate
equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In
no event shall GBC's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of
GBC's other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that GBC is in
control of the business, management or properties of Debtor.
5.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale
or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied by GBC first to the
reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees
incurred by GBC in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to
the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the
Obligations, in such order as GBC shall determine in its sole discretion. Any
surplus shall be paid to Debtor or other persons legally entitled thereto;
Debtor shall remain liable to GBC for any deficiency. If GBC, in its sole
discretion, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other
credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, GBC shall have
the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole discretion, of either reducing
the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or deferring the
reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by GBC of the cash
therefor.
5.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in
this Agreement, GBC shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a
secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code and under all other
applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the
future entered into between GBC and Debtor, and all of such rights and remedies
are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by GBC of
one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar
GBC from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or
remedies. The failure or delay of GBC to exercise any rights or remedies shall
not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in
full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and
performed.

and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire

UNDERSTANDINGS, REPRESENTATIONS OR AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES WHICH ARE NOT

IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit is filed),
including, but not limited to, any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs GBC
incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this Agreement and
the documents relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in connection with
this Agreement or Debtor; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of its rights;
prosecute actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors; commence,

fees, including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
incurred in the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, decree,
award or judgment. All attorneys' fees and costs to which GBC may be entitled
pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of Debtor's

the prior written consent of GBC, and any prohibited assignment shall be void.
No consent by GBC to any assignment shall release Debtor from its liability for
the Obligations.
7.10 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Debtor consists of more than one Person,
their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any claim
with, or the release of, any Debtor shall not constitute a compromise with, or
a
release of, any other Debtor.
7.11 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any claim or cause of action by Debtor against
GBC, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, based
upon, arising from, or relating to this Agreement, or any other present or
future document or agreement, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing
whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by GBC, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be
barred unless asserted by Debtor by the commencement of an action or proceeding
in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint within one
year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause
of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of a summons and
complaint on an officer of GBC, or on any other person authorized to accept
service on behalf of GBC, within thirty (30) days thereafter. Debtor agrees
that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for Debtor to
investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period
provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written
consent of GBC in its sole discretion. This provision shall survive any
termination of this Agreement or any other present or future agreement.
