and preservation of such of the Collateral as may be in Secured Party's
possession if Secured Party takes such action for that purpose as Debtor shall
request in writing, PROVIDED, HOWEVER that Secured Party shall not be required
to take any such requested action if in the judgment of Secured Party, such
action would impair Secured Party's security interest in such Collateral or its
rights in, or the value of, such Collateral, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER that
such written request is received by Secured Party in sufficient time to permit
Secured Party to take the requested action. Debtor acknowledges that failure of
Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a
failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of Secured Party to preserve
or protect any rights with respect to such Collateral against prior parties, or
to do any act with respect to the preservation of such Collateral not so
requested by Debtor, shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in
the custody or preservation of such Collateral. If all or any part of the
Collateral consists of any
-9-
10
stock, bond or other security, Secured Party shall be under no obligation to
sell or otherwise dispose of such security, or to cause such security to be sold
or otherwise disposed of, by reason of any diminution in the fair market value
thereof, and Secured Party's failure to do so shall under no circumstances be
deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
the Collateral, anything in this Section 10 or in any other section of this
Agreement notwithstanding.
Section 11. REMEDIES FOR EVENT OF DEFAULT.
11.1. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs, in addition to
the remedies set forth in the Agreement and the other Loan Documents:
11.1.1. Secured Party may exercise such rights and
remedies as are provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, including without
limitation the right to enter any premises where any of the Collateral is
located and take possession of the same without demand or notice and without
prior judicial hearing or legal proceedings, which Debtor hereby expressly
waives, and to sell all or any portion of the Collateral at public or private
sale, without prior notice to Debtor except as otherwise required by law (and if
notice is required by law, after 10 days' prior written notice), at such place
or places and at such time or times and in such manner and upon such terms,
whether for cash or on credit, as Secured Party in its sole discretion may
determine. Upon any such sale of any of the Collateral, Secured Party may
purchase all or any of the Collateral being sold, free from any equity or right
of redemption. Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to the
Secured Obligations as provided in Section 6 hereof. If such proceeds are
insufficient to pay the amounts owed by Debtor, Debtor shall be liable for any
deficiency in the amount so realized from the Collateral.
11.1.2. Debtor shall, upon the demand of Secured
Party, promptly assemble the Collateral, or any part thereof and make it
available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which
shall be reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Debtor. The right of Secured
Party under this Section 11.1.2 to have the Collateral assembled and made
available to it is of the essence of this Agreement and Secured Party may, at
its election, enforce such right by an action for specific performance.
11.2. NO REQUIREMENT TO MARSHAL COLLATERAL. Debtor, to the
extent that it has any right, title or interest in any of the Collateral, waives
and releases any right to require Secured Party to collect any of the Secured
Obligations from any portion of the Collateral under any theory of marshaling of
assets, or otherwise, and specifically authorizes Secured Party to apply any of
its Collateral against any of the Secured Obligations in any manner that Secured
Party may determine.
Section 12. AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS. No amendment, modification or waiver
to this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party to
be charged.
Section 13. PERMITTED LIENS. Liens arising from purchase money security
interests so long as (a) the lien is for no more than 90% of the purchase price
of the property and (b) such lien
-10-
11
attaches only to the property acquired by Debtor in connection therewith shall
be deemed "Permitted Liens."
Section 14. DEFEASANCE. Upon payment and performance in full of the
Secured Obligations, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured
Party in the realization upon the Collateral, including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, this Agreement shall terminate
and be of no further force and effect, and in such event, Secured Party shall,
at the expense of Debtor, take all action necessary to terminate the security
interests of Secured Party in the Collateral. Until such time, however, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is being executed and
delivered in the State of Ohio and, except to the extent that the laws of any

enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.
Section 19. CAPTIONS. Captions and section headings used in this
Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this
Agreement.
Section 20. CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. The Debtor hereby authorizes any
attorney at law to appear for it, in an action on this Security Agreement, as

elsewhere, to waive the issuing and service of process against the Debtor and to
