Collateral and make the same available to the Lenders at a place to
be designated by the Lenders. The Borrower hereby waives any and
all rights it may have, by statute, constitution or otherwise to
notice or a hearing to determine the probable cause of the Lenders

disposition, including attorneys' fees, and then to the Liabilities
of the Borrower to the Lenders.
