(d) have and maintain insurance at all times with respect to all Collateral against risks of fire (including so-called extended coverage), theft, sprinkler leakage, and other risks (including risk of flood if any Collateral is maintained at a location in a flood hazard zone) as the Secured Party may reasonably require, in such form, in the minimum amount of the outstanding principal of the Note and written by such companies as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party.

In the event of failure to provide insurance as herein provided, the Secured Party may, at its option, obtain such insurance and the Debtor shall pay to the Secured Party, on demand, the cost thereof. Proceeds of insurance may be applied by the Secured Party to reduce the Obligations or to repair or replace Collateral, all in the Secured Party's sole discretion.
(e) If any of the Collateral is, at any time, in the possession of a bailee, Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party thereof and, if requested by Secured Party, shall promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Secured Party and shall act upon the instructions of Secured Party, without the further consent of Debtor.
6. Negative Pledge; No Transfer. The Debtor will not sell or offer to sell or otherwise transfer or grant or allow the imposition of a lien or security interest upon the Collateral or use any portion thereof in any manner inconsistent with this Agreement or with the terms and conditions of any policy of insurance thereon.
7. Further Assurances. Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the California Uniform Commercial Code or such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the California Uniform Commercial Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including, but not limited to (i) whether Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and (ii) any organization identification number issued to Debtor. Xxxxxx agrees to furnish any such information to Secured Party promptly upon request. Debtor also ratifies its authorization for Secured Party to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

(b) the failure by the Debtor to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement within ten (10) days of notice from Secured Party of the same;
(c) falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by the Debtor of any written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the Secured Party by or on behalf of the Debtor;

Secured Promissory Note
Page 18 of 33
(e) the failure of the Secured Party to have a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral;
(f) any indication or evidence received by the Secured Party that the Debtor may have directly or indirectly been engaged in any type of activity which, in the Secured Party's discretion, might result in the forfeiture of any property of the Debtor to any governmental entity, federal, state or local; or,
(g) any event of default under the Note, which is incorporated by reference herein.
9. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party may declare all Obligations secured hereby immediately due and payable and shall have, in addition to any remedies provided herein or by any applicable law or in equity, all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC. The Secured Party’s remedies include, but are not limited to, to the extent permitted by law, the right to:
(a) peaceably by its own means or with judicial assistance enter the Debtor's premises and take possession of the Collateral without prior notice to the Debtor or the opportunity for a hearing,
(b) render the Collateral unusable,
(c) dispose of the Collateral on the Debtor's premises, and
(d) require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place designated by the Secured Party.

The Debtor waives all relief from all appraisement or exemption laws now in force or hereafter enacted.
10. Payment of Expenses. At its option, the Secured Party may, but is not required to: discharge taxes, liens, security interests or such other encumbrances as may attach to the Collateral; pay for required insurance on the Collateral; and pay for the maintenance, appraisal or reappraisal, and preservation of the Collateral, as determined by the Secured Party to be necessary. The Debtor will reimburse the Secured Party on demand for any payment so made or any expense incurred by the Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization, and the Collateral also will secure any advances or payments so made or expenses so incurred by the Secured Party.
11. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt. Such notices and other communications may be hand-delivered, sent by facsimile transmission with confirmation of delivery and a copy sent by first-class mail, or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, to a party’s address set forth herein or to such other address as any party may give to the other in writing for such purpose.
