however, that it shall not limit the obligations of Borrower as previously set
forth herein. Borrower grants the Lender the right, at the Lender's option, to
file any or all such financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code and otherwise, without
Borrower's signature, and irrevocably appoints the Lender as Borrower's
attorney-in-fact to execute any such statements and documents in Borrower's
name and to perform all other acts which the Lender deems appropriate to
perfect and to continue the security interests conferred by this Agreement.

----------------------------------
maintain accurate books and records covering the Collateral. Borrower
immediately will xxxx all books and records with an entry showing the absolute
assignment of and granting of a security interest in all Collateral to Lender,
and hereby grants the Lender the right to audit the books and records of
Borrower relating to Collateral at any time and from time to time. Borrower
shall (i) promptly furnish the Lender with any information with respect to
Collateral requested by Lender; (ii) allow the Lender or its representatives to
inspect the Collateral, at any time and wherever located, and to inspect and

Amended and Restated Loan Agreement Draft #4 12

evidencing the shipment of goods and invoices evidencing the receipt of the
Collateral and payment for the Collateral.
4.5 No Release. No injury to the Collateral, loss or destruction
----------
of the Collateral, failure to perfect or to continue the perfection of Lender's
security interest in the Collateral, or release of Lender's security interest
in the Collateral, or any part of it, shall relieve Borrower of any obligation
under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower
expressly waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral,
and shall not be released or discharged of any obligation under the Loan
Documents, in whole or in part, by Lender's failure to protect or preserve the
Collateral. No Person, in deciding to enter into this Loan Agreement, has
relied on the execution of this Loan Agreement or the granting of a security
interest in Collateral by any other Person. Each Person comprised by the term
Borrower waives notice of any change in financial condition of any Person
liable for the Loans or any part thereof, and agrees that maturity of the Loans
or any part thereof may be accelerated, extended or renewed one or more times
by Lender in its discretion, without notice to the Person and without affecting
Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Lender shall not be required to
bring any action against any other Person or to resort to any other security or
to any balance of any deposit account as a condition of enforcing its rights
against any of the Collateral.
4.8 Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by
---------------
or against the Lender relating to the Collateral, the Borrower will save,
indemnify and keep the Lender harmless from and against all reasonable expense,
loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of any obligor thereunder,
arising out of a breach by the Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising
out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or
in favor of such obligor or its successors from the Borrower, and all such
obligations of the Borrower shall be and remain enforceable against and only
against the Borrower and shall not be enforceable against the Lender. The
foregoing obligation of the Borrower to indemnify the Lender shall survive the
payment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement but shall not extend
to any suit, proceeding or action arising out of the Lender's gross negligence
or willful misconduct.

claim adversely affecting any such Intellectual Property may be asserted against
the Borrower or any subsidiary. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no Person
is infringing upon the Intellectual Property used by the Borrower or any
subsidiary material to the operation of their respective businesses. The
