8. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES; CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Debtor agrees to
pay, prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and
assessments against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure of Debtor
to do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of
the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same.
Any such payments made by Bank shall be obligations of Debtor to Bank, due and
payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the
Collateral and Proceeds, subject to ell terms and conditions of this Agreement.
9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
"Event of Default" under this Agreement: (a) any default in the payment or
performance of any obligation, or any defined event of default, under (i) any
contract or Instrument evidencing any Indebtedness, or (ii) any other agreement
between Debtor and Bank, including without limitation any loan agreement,
relating to or executed in connection any Indebtedness; (b) any representation
or warranty made by Debtor herein
3
shall prove to be incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when

or otherwise in jeopardy or unsatisfactory in character or value.
10. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have the
right to declare immediately due and payable all or any Indebtedness secured
hereby and to terminate any commitments to make loans or otherwise extend credit
to Debtor. Bank shall have all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies
granted to a secured party upon default under the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code
or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to
contact all persons obligated to Debtor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to
instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to
Bank, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all
Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be
cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right,
power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such
right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Bank
of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions
hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth
in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for
cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property
of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially
reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different
kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and
credit risks of such dispositions.
While an Event of Default exists: (a) Debtor will deliver to Bank from time to
time, as requested by Bank, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b)
Debtor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved
by Bank; (c) at Bank's request, Debtor will assemble and deliver all Collateral
and Proceeds, and books and records pertaining thereto, to Bank at a reasonably
convenient place designated by Bank; and (d) Bank may, without notice to Debtor,
enter onto Debtor's premises and take possession of the Collateral. Debtor
further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to process or prepare any
Collateral for sale or other disposition.
11. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In
disposing of Collateral hereunder, Bank may disclaim all warranties of title,
possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any
Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Bank to the
payment of expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by
Bank toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Bank
may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds
and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility
with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be
vested with all rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to any of the
foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so
transferred Bank shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein
given.
12. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full
and all commitments by Bank to extend credit to Debtor have been terminated, the
power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and
remedies granted to Bank hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised
by Bank at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the
Indebtedness or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of
limitations, or that the personal liability of Debtor may have ceased, unless
such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Indebtedness
secured hereunder.

"Debtor" shall mean all or any one or more of them as the context requires; (b)

paid in full, no Debtor shall have any right of subrogation or contribution, and
each Debtor hereby waives any benefit of or right to participate in any of the
Collateral or Proceeds or any other security now or hereafter held by Bank.
Debtor hereby waives any right to require Bank to (i) proceed against Debtor or
any other person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security from Debtor or
any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Debtor with respect to any
Collateral or Proceeds, and (d) make any presentment or demand, or give any
notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of
dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Debtor

the Collateral or Bank's ability to exercise any of its rights or remedies with
respect thereto. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Debtor with interest from
the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the greater
of ten percent (10%) or Bank's Prime Rate in effect from time to time.
