Liable. Anything herein to the contrary

liable under the contracts and agreements included

thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement

agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) the

obligation or liability under the contracts and
agreements included in the Collateral by reason of

Collateral in which a security interest may be
perfected by such filing, subject only to liens
permitted by this Agreement.
(d) No authorization, approval or other
action by, and no notice to or filing with, any

Secured Parties to perfect, maintain and protect
the Secured Parties' security interests in and liens
on and against the Collateral granted or purported
to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured
Parties to exercise their rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral,
including, without limitation, (i) executing and
filing financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereof, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Parties,
(ii) delivering to the Secured Parties all certificates

transfer or assignment, (iii) marking conspicuously

statements and amendments thereto, disclosing the
security interest granted to the Secured Parties
under this Agreement without the Grantors'
signatures appearing thereon and the Secured
Parties agree to notify the Grantors when such a
filing has been made. The Grantors agree that, to

sufficient as a financing statement.

residual value with respect to the related
Automobile;
(h) not grant, create, incur, permit or suffer

the Liens granted to III Finance pursuant to the

the Obligations, including, without limitation,
directing the Servicer to remit to the Secured
Parties all funds held by the Servicer on account

(d) sell, transfer, dispose of or otherwise
release any of the Collateral;

without limitation, filing or prosecution of any
third party claim or other legal action or proceed-

the Secured parties with respect to any of the
Collateral.
SECTION 12. The Secured Parties May
Perform. If the Grantors fail to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Secured Parties
may, upon three days' prior notice to the Grantors,
perform, or cause performance of, such agreement,
and the expenses of the Secured Parties incurred
in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Grantors under Section 18.
SECTION 13. Secured Parties' Duties.
The powers conferred on the Secured Parties here-
under are solely to protect their interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
either Secured Party to exercise any such powers.
Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in
their possession and the accounting for moneys ac-
tually received by them hereunder, the Secured
Parties shall not have any duty as to any
Collateral. The Secured Parties shall be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of the Collateral in their
possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Secured
Parties accord their own property, it being
understood that the Secured Parties shall be under
no obligation to take any necessary steps to
preserve rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining to any Collateral, but may do so
at their option, and all reasonable expenses
incurred in connection therewith shall be for the
sole account of the Grantors or the Borrower and
shall be added to the Obligations.
SECTION 14. Remedies. (a) If any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:
(i) the Secured Parties shall have, in
addition to other rights and remedies provided for
herein or otherwise available to them, all the
rights and remedies of a Secured Party upon
default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC
applies to the affected Collateral) and further, the
Secured Parties may, without notice, demand or
legal process of any kind (except as may be
required by law), all of which the Grantors waive,
at any time or times, (x) enter Grantors' owned or
leased premises and take physical possession of
the Collateral and maintain such possession on
Grantors' owned or leased premises, at no cost to
the Secured Parties, or remove the Collateral, or
any part thereof, to such other place(s) as the
Secured Parties may desire, (y) require the
Grantors to, and the Grantors hereby agree that
they will at their expense and upon request of the
Secured Parties forthwith, assemble all or any part
of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Parties
and make it available to the Secured Parties at a
place to be designated by the Secured Parties
which is reasonably convenient to the Secured
Parties and (z) without notice except as specified
below, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or
options to purchase or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral or any part thereof at public or private
sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any of
the offices of the Secured Parties or elsewhere, for
cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon
such other terms as the Secured Parties may deem
commercially reasonable. The Grantors agree
that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required
by law, at least ten (10) days' notice to the
Grantors of the time and place of any public sale
or the time after which any private sale is to be
made shall constitute reasonable notification. The
Secured Parties shall not be obligated to make any
sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Secured Parties may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed
therefor, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it
was so adjourned;
(ii) the Secured Parties shall apply all cash
proceeds received by the Secured Parties in
respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral
(after payment of any amounts payable to the
Secured Parties pursuant to Section 18), against
all or any part of the Obligations in such order as
may be required by the Loan Agreement, or, to
the extent not specified therein, as is determined
by the Secured Parties. Any surplus of such cash
or cash proceeds held by the Secured Parties and
remaining after payment in full of all the
Obligations shall be paid over to the Grantors or
to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
such surplus;
(b) the Grantors waive all claims, damages
and demands against the Secured Parties arising
out of the repossession, retention or sale of any of
the Collateral or any part or parts thereof, except
any such claims, damages and awards arising out
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Secured Parties, as determined in a final non-
appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction; and
(c) The rights and remedies provided
under this Agreement are cumulative and may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by
law or equity.
SECTION 15. Exercise of Remedies. In
connection with the exercise of their remedies
pursuant to Section 14, the Secured Parties may,
(i) exchange, enforce, waive or release any portion
of the Collateral and any other security for the
Obligations, (ii) apply such Collateral or security
and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as
the Secured Parties may, from time to time,
determine and (iii) settle, compromise, collect or
otherwise liquidate any such Collateral or security
in any manner following the occurrence of a
Default, without affecting or impairing the
Secured Parties' rights to take any other further
action with respect to any Collateral or security or
any part thereof.
SECTION 16. Injunctive Relief. The
Grantors recognize that in the event the Grantors
fail to perform, observe or discharge any of their
obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any
remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief
to the Secured Parties; therefore, the Grantors
agree that the Secured Parties, if they so determine
and request, shall be entitled to temporary and
permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages.
SECTION 17. Interpretation and
Inconsistencies; Merger.
(a) The rights and duties created by this
Agreement shall, in all cases, be interpreted
consistently with, and shall be in addition to (and
not in lieu of), the rights and duties created by the
Loan Agreement.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (a)
above, this Agreement represents the final
agreement of the Grantors and the Secured Parties
with respect to the matters contained herein and
may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or
contemporaneous agreements, or subsequent oral
agreements, between the Grantors and the Secured
Parties.
SECTION 18. Expenses. The Grantors
will upon demand pay to the Secured Parties the
amount of any and all reasonable expenses,
including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
their counsel and of any experts and agents,
incurred in connection with the enforcement of the
Loan Agreement and/or of this Agreement.
SECTION 19. Amendments, Etc. No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement nor consent to any departure by the
Grantors herefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
the Secured Parties and the Grantors, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given.
SECTION 20. Notices. All notices and
other communications provided for hereunder shall
be delivered to the applicable party in writing, by
telecopy, mail, messenger or overnight courier
delivery, and to the address set forth below such
party's name under this Agreement, or to another
address as to which such party shall have
informed the other party hereto by written notice
given in the manner described above.
SECTION 21. Continuing Security
Interest; Termination. (a) Except as provided in
Section 21(b), this Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the
later of the payment or satisfaction in full of the
Obligations (other than contingent indemnity
obligations), (ii) be binding upon the Grantors,
their successors and assigns and (iii) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of the
Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the
Secured Parties, their successors and assigns.
Nothing set forth herein or in the Loan Agreement
is intended or shall be construed to give any other
person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in
respect of this Agreement or any Collateral. The
Grantors' successors and assigns shall include,
without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor-in-
possession thereof or therefor.
(b) Upon the payment in full in cash of
the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity
obligations), this Agreement and the security
interest granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors.
Upon any such termination of security interest, the
Grantors shall be entitled to the return, upon their
request and at their expense, of such of the
Collateral held by the Secured Parties as shall not
have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to
the terms hereof and the Secured Parties will, at
the Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to the
Grantors such other documents as the Grantors
shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.
SECTION 22. Severability; No Strict
Construction. It is the parties' intention that this
