Grantor fails to keep or perform any of the covenants or agreements

hereafter be filed by a third party against such Grantor, or any receiver,

6. Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon and after the occurrence and
during the continuation of any one or more of the Events of Default specified in
Section 5 hereof, all of the Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender and
without any notice to or demand upon any Grantor of any kind (other than any
required by applicable law, but only to the extent the waiver of such notice by
such Grantor hereunder is not legally enforceable), become immediately due and
payable, and Lender shall thereupon have any and all rights and remedies
5
afforded to a secured party under the UCC, together with every right and remedy
available to Lender under any other applicable law, including, the right to
release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize,
process and commingle the Collateral. All of Lender's rights and remedies shall
be cumulative and not exclusive and may be exercised concurrently or seriatim,
and are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights of Lender at law, in
equity, under statute or under any other agreement with any Grantor. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at
any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more
sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then
condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in
such order as Lender may elect. Lender acknowledges and agrees that Grantors
shall have the right to redeem the Collateral in accordance with the provisions
of Section 9-623 of the UCC and that Lender shall give Grantors five (5)
calendar days notice of any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral
pursuant hereto.
7. Waivers. In addition to the other waivers contained herein and in any
other agreement between Grantors and Lender, each Grantor hereby expressly
waives, to the extent permitted by law, demand, protest, notice of protest,
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payments and nonpayments, or of any
default, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of all commercial
paper, instruments or guaranties at any time held by Lender on which such
Grantor may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by Lender
unless expressly required by this Agreement or by law.
8. Indulgences Not Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part
of Lender to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof or give rise to any estoppel, nor be construed as an
agreement to modify the terms of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial
exercise by Lender of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other
or further exercise by Lender of the same or of any other right, remedy, power,
or privilege; nor shall any waiver by Lender of any right, remedy, power or
privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right,
remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver by a
party hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
party making such waiver, and then only to the extent specifically stated in
such writing.
9. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand,
request, consent, approval, declaration, service of process or other
communication (including the delivery of Financial Statements) that is required,
contemplated, or permitted under this Agreement or with respect to the subject
matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly
served, given, delivered, and received upon the earlier of: (i) the first
business day after transmission by facsimile (receipt confirmed) or hand

or to such other address as each party may designate for itself by like notice.
10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, excluding
conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any
other jurisdiction. In the event of any dispute concerning, or action to enforce
this Agreement, each Grantor and Lender hereby consent to the venue and
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Xxxx County, Illinois,
and waive any right to object thereto.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and expresses the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and
understandings, inducements or conditions, and the express terms hereof control
and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent
with any of the terms hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or
provision hereof may be changed, altered, waived, modified, supplemented,
discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than
by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto.
7
12. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not
affect its interpretation.
13. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and
separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Agreement
shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been
contained herein.
14. Successors and Assigns. The rights, remedies, powers, and privileges
of Lender hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of
Lender, and the duties and obligations of Grantors hereunder shall bind the
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Grantors. Lender may
assign, or sell participations in, its right, title and interest herein, in any
of the Indebtedness, in the Collateral, and in any agreements or instruments now
or hereafter evidencing or securing any agreements or instruments now or
hereafter evidencing or securing any of the Indebtedness at any time or times
without notice to or the consent of any Grantor. However, Grantors may rely on
Lender continuing to hold the Indebtedness and any agreements or instruments
evidencing or securing the Indebtedness until Grantors receive actual notice
from Lender of any such assignment.
15. Mutual Waiver Of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection
with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved
by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and
federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that
their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. LENDER AND
EACH GRANTOR SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY
OTHER CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS") ASSERTED BY
ANY GRANTOR AGAINST LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST
ANY GRANTOR. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that
involve Persons other than Grantors and Lender.
16. WAIVERS. EACH GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER'S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT LENDER IS
RELYING UPON THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ITS FUTURE DEALINGS WITH GRANTORS. EACH
GRANTOR WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING WAIVERS WITH
ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS
FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS
AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
17. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
8
which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
thereof.
