DEFINITIONS.
1. "ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" shall consist of accounts, chattel paper and general
intangibles (including patents as described in the attached Schedule A) as those
terms are defined in the Michigan Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC"). Also included

Also included are letters of credit, and drafts under them, given in support of
Accounts Receivable. Debtor warrants that its chief executive office is at the
address shown above.
2. "INVENTORY" shall consist of all property held at any location by or for
Debtor for sale, rent, or lease, or furnished or to be furnished by the Debtor
under any contract of service, or raw materials or work in process and their
products, or materials used or consumed in its business, and shall include
containers and shelving useful for storing. Without limiting the security
interest granted, Inventory is presently located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

Debtor at any location primarily for use in its business, including, but not
limited to, machinery, fixtures, furniture, furnishings and vehicles, and any
accessions, parts, attachments, accessories, tools, dies, additions,
substitutions, replacements and appurtenances to them or intended for use with

4. "INSTRUMENTS" shall consist of Debtor's interest of any kind in any
negotiable instrument or security as those terms are defined in the UCC, or any
other writing which evidences a right to payment of money and is of a type which
is, in the ordinary course of business, transferred by delivery alone or by
delivery with any necessary endorsement or assignment.
2
WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. The Debtor warrants and covenants to the Bank that:
1. It will pay its Liabilities to the Bank secured by this agreement;
2. It is or will become the owner of the Collateral free from any liens,
encumbrances or security interests, except for this security interest, and
existing liens disclosed to and accepted by the Bank in writing, and will defend
the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons at any time
claiming any interest in it;
3. It will keep the Collateral free of liens, encumbrances and other security
interests, maintain it in good repair, not use it illegally, and exhibit it to
the Bank on demand;
4. At its own expense, the Debtor will maintain comprehensive casualty insurance
on the Collateral against such risks, in such amounts, with such deductibles and
with such companies as may be satisfactory to the Bank, and provide the Bank
with proof of insurance acceptable to the Bank. Each insurance policy shall
contain a lender's loss payable endorsement satisfactory to the Bank and a
prohibition against cancellation or amendment of the policy or removal of the
Bank as loss payee without at least 30 days prior written notice to the Bank. In
all events, the amounts of such insurance coverages shall conform to prudent
business practices and shall be in such minimum amounts that the Debtor will not
be deemed a co-insurer;
5. It will not sell or offer to sell or otherwise transfer the Collateral, nor
change the location of the Collateral, without the written consent of the Bank,
except in the ordinary course of business;
6. It will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral,
or for its use or operation;
7. No financing statement covering all or any part of the Collateral or any
proceeds is on file in any public office, unless the Bank has approved that
filing. At the Bank's request, Debtor will execute one or more financing
statements in form satisfactory to Bank and will pay the cost of filing them in
all public offices wherever filing is deemed by Bank to be desirable;
8. It will immediately notify Bank in writing of any name change or any change
in business organization;
9. It will provide any information that Bank may reasonably request, and will
permit Bank upon prior notice to inspect and copy its books and records during
normal business hours.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. The Debtor acknowledges that if the Collateral includes
"Accounts Receivable," then until the Bank gives notice to Debtor to the
contrary, Debtor will, in the usual course of its business and at its own cost
and expense, on the Bank's behalf but not as the Bank's agent, demand and
receive and use its best efforts to collect all moneys due or to become due on
the Accounts Receivable. Until the Bank gives notice to Debtor to the contrary
or until the Debtor is in default, it may use the funds collected in its
business. Upon notice from the Bank or upon default, the Debtor agrees that all
sums of money it receives on account of or in payment or settlement of the
Accounts Receivable shall be held by it as trustee for the Bank without
commingling with any of its funds, and shall immediately be delivered to the
Bank with endorsement to the Bank's order of any check or similar instrument. It
is agreed that, at any time the Bank elects, it shall be entitled, in its own
name or in the name of the Debtor or otherwise, but at the expense and cost of
the Debtor, to collect, demand, receive, ▇▇▇ for or compromise any and all
Accounts Receivable, and to give good and sufficient releases, to endorse any
checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money payable to the Debtor in
payment and, in its discretion, to file any claims or take any action or
proceeding which the Bank may deem necessary or advisable. It is expressly
understood and agreed, however, that the Bank shall not be required or obligated
in any manner to make any demand or to make any inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file any claim or
take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may
have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
All notices required in this paragraph will be immediately effective when sent.
Such notices need not be given prior to the Bank taking action.
REPRESENTATIONS BY DEBTOR. Each Debtor represents: (a) that the execution and
delivery of this agreement and the performance of the obligations it imposes do
not violate any law, conflict with any agreement by which it is bound, or
require the consent or approval of any governmental authority or any third
party; (b) that this agreement is a valid and binding agreement, enforceable
according to its terms; and (c) that all balance sheets, profit and loss
statement, and other financial statements furnished to the Bank are accurate and
fairly reflect the financial condition of the organizations and persons to which
they apply on their effective dates, including contingent liabilities of every
type, which financial condition has not changed materially and adversely since
those dates. Each Debtor, other than a natural person, further represents: (a)
that it is duly organized, existing and in good standing pursuant to the laws
under which it is organized; and (b) that the execution and delivery of this
agreement and the performance of the obligations it imposes (i) are within its
powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action of its governing
body; (ii) do not contravene the terms of its articles of incorporation or
organizations, its by-laws, or any partnership, operating or other agreement
governing its affairs.

PLEDGE. If the Debtor is not liable for all or any part of the Borrower's
obligations to the Bank (the "Debt"), then it agrees that:
(a) If any monies become available to the Bank that it can apply to any Debt,
the Bank may apply them to Debt not secured by this agreement.
(b) Without notice to or the consent of the Debtor, the Bank may (i) take any
action it chooses against any Borrower, against any collateral for the Debt, or
against any other person liable for the Debt; (ii) release any Borrower or any
other person liable for the Debt, release any collateral for the Debt, and
neglect to perfect any interest in any such collateral; (iii) forbear or agree
to forbear from exercising any rights or remedies, including any right of
setoff, that it has against the Borrower, any other person liable for the Debt,
or any other collateral for the Debt; (iv) extend to any Borrower additional
Debt to be secured by this agreement; or (v) renew, extend, modify or amend any
Debt, and deal with any Borrower or any other person liable for the Debt as it
chooses.
(c) None of the Debtor's obligations under this agreement shall be affected by
(i) any act or omission of the Bank; (ii) the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of any Borrower, (iii) any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization
or other similar proceedings affecting any Borrower or any of its assets; or
(iv) any change in the composition or structure of any Borrower or any Debtor,
including a merger or consolidation with any other entity.
(d) The Bank's rights under this section and this agreement are unconditional
and absolute, regardless of the unenforceability of any provision of any
agreement between any Borrower and the Bank, or the existence of any defense,
setoff or counterclaim that any Borrower may be able to assert against the Bank.
(e) It waives all rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity,
exoneration, implied contract, recourse to security, and any other claim (as
that term is defined in the federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to
time) that it may have or acquire in the future against any Borrower, any other
person liable for the Debt, or any collateral for the Debt, because of the
existence of this agreement, the Debtor's performance under this agreement, or
the Bank's availing itself of any rights or remedies under this agreement.
(f) If any payment to the Bank on any Debt is wholly or partially invalidated,
set aside, declared fraudulent or required to be repaid to the Borrower or
anyone representing the Borrower or the Borrower's creditors under any
bankruptcy or insolvency act or code, under any state or federal law, or under
common law or equitable principles, then this agreement shall remain in full
force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, until payment in full to
the Bank of the repaid amounts, and of the Debt. If this agreement must be
reinstated, the Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to the Bank new agreements
and financing statements, if necessary, in form and substance acceptable to the
Bank, covering the Collateral.
DEFAULT/REMEDIES. If the Debtor or the Borrower fails to pay any of the
Liabilities when due, or if a default by anyone occurs under the terms of any
agreement related to any of the Liabilities, or if the Debtor dies or fails to
observe or perform any term of this agreement, or if any representation or
warranty contained in this agreement is untrue, or if there is a material change
in the financial condition of the Debtor which the Bank in good faith determines
to be materially adverse, then the Bank shall have the rights and remedies
provided by law or this agreement, including but not limited to the right to
require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Bank
at a place to be designated by the Bank which is reasonably convenient to both
parties, the right to take possession of the Collateral with or without demand
and with or without process of law, and the right to sell and dispose of it and
distribute the proceeds according to law. In connection with the right of the
Bank to take possession of the Collateral, the Bank may take possession of any
other items of property in or on the Collateral at the time of taking
possession, and hold them for the Debtor without liability on the part of the
Bank. If there is any statutory requirement for notice, that requirement shall
be met if the Bank sends notice to the Debtor at least seven (7) days prior to
the date of sale, disposition or other event giving rise to the required notice.
The Debtor shall be liable for any deficiency remaining after disposition of the
Collateral.
MISCELLANEOUS.
1. Where the Collateral is located at, used in or attached to a facility leased
by the Debtor, the Debtor will obtain from the lessor a consent to the granting
of this security interest and a subordination of the lessor's interest in any of
the Collateral, in form acceptable to the Bank.
2. At its option the Bank may, but shall be under no duty or obligation to,
discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time
levied or placed on the Collateral, pay for insurance on the Collateral, and pay
for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral, and the Debtor agrees to
reimburse the Bank on demand for any payment made or expense incurred by the
Bank, with interest at the maximum legal rate.

3. No delay on the part of Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy shall
operate as a waiver, no single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right or
remedy shall preclude any other exercise of it or the exercise of any other
right or remedy, and no waiver or indulgence by the Bank of any default shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by the Bank, nor shall a waiver on one
occasion be construed as a waiver of that right on any future occasion.
4. If any provision of this agreement is invalid, it shall be ineffective only
to the extent of its invalidity, and the remaining provisions shall be valid and
effective.
5. Notice from one party to another relating to this agreement shall be deemed
effective if made in writing (including telecommunications) and delivered to the
recipient's address, telex number or telecopier number set forth above by any of
the following means: (a) hand delivery, (b) registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, with return receipt requested, (c) first class or express mail,
postage prepaid, (d) Federal Express, Purolator Courier or like overnight
courier service or (e) telecopy, telex or other wire transmission with request
for assurance of receipt in a manner typical with respect to communications of
that type. Notice made in accordance with this section shall be deemed delivered
on receipt if delivered by hand or wire transmission, on the third business day
after mailing if mailed by first class, registered or certified mail, or on the
next business day after mailing or deposit with an overnight courier service if
delivered by express mail or overnight courier.
6. All rights of the Bank shall inure to the benefit of the Bank's successors
and assigns; and all obligations of the Debtor shall bind the Debtor's heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns. If there is more than one
Debtor, their obligations are joint and several.
7. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this agreement is sufficient,
and can be filed as a financing statement. The Bank is irrevocably appointed the
Debtor's attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement on Debtor's behalf
covering the Collateral.
8. The terms and provisions of this security agreement shall be governed by
Michigan law.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The Bank and the Debtor knowingly and voluntarily waive
any right either of them have to a trial by jury in any proceeding (whether
sounding in contract or tort) which is in any way connected with this or any
related agreement, or the relationship established under them. This provision
may only be modified in a written instrument executed by the Bank and the
Debtor.
