NO WARRANTY AND UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION: DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SECURED PARTY HAS MADE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY, DESIGN, CAPACITY OR ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. All payments due under the Note shall be made without notice and demand and Debtor's obligation to make any payment thereunder or hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional. Debtor shall not be entitled to any reduction or set-off against such payment, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall this Security Agreement terminate, or the obligations of Debtor be otherwise affected by reason of any defect in, lack of fitness for use of, damage to, loss of possession or use of the Collateral, or for any other cause, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all amounts payable by Debtor hereunder and under the Note shall continue to be payable in all events in the manner and at the times provided in the Note and hereunder.
3. INSURANCE: Debtor agrees that from the date hereof it will, at its sole cost and expense, keep the Collateral insured against all risks of physical loss or damage including loss by fire, theft, wind and explosion with extended coverage for not less than the greater of the indebtedness or the Collateral's full replacement cost and that it will carry personal injury liability and property damage liability insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as Secured Party may reasonably require. All said insurance shall be in form and with companies satisfactory to Secured Party. The loss under all such policies against physical loss or damage shall be payable to Secured Party or its assignee and the Debtor as their interests may appear and Secured Party or its assignee shall be named as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies. Such policies shall provide that no less than thirty (30) days notice shall be given by the insurance company to Secured Party or its assignee prior to any cancellation or alteration of the policies and that the coverage afforded shall not be impaired or invalidated against Secured Party or its assignee on account of any breach of condition or warranty contained in any policy or application therefor by the Debtor or any reason of any action or inaction of the Debtor. The insurance policies and all renewals thereof, or Certificates in lieu thereof, shall be promptly delivered by the Debtor to Secured Party and shall be held by Secured Party until the indebtedness secured hereby is paid. Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party all monies, not in excess of the indebtedness secured hereby and the obligations contained herein, which may become payable under such insurance including the return of any unearned premiums, and directs any insurer to make payment directly to Secured Party and authorizes Secured Party to apply such monies in payment against the indebtedness secured hereby and the obligations contained herein and to remit any excess to the Debtor. If the Collateral is damaged, other than being totally destroyed, and such damage is repairable and covered by insurance, all loss proceeds payable by the insurance company or companies shall be made available by Secured Party to be applied to the repair and/or replacement of such damage to the Collateral provided Debtor is not in default of its obligations under this Agreement or in the payment of any of the indebtedness secured hereby and provided further than Security Party receives such assurances as it may in its sole discretion require that (i) such proceeds will be utilized for such repair or replacement and that the Debtor has advanced such sums as may be required for the repair or replacement to the extent that the insurance proceeds are insufficient therefor; (ii) all replacements shall be of the same or a later model than the item replaced and all repairs will be of first class workmanship and (iii) the Collateral will be free of mechanics' liens and title to replacements will vest in Debtor free of liens and encumbrances except for the first security interest of Secured Party therein. Any excess insurance proceeds shall be applied against the indebtedness secured hereby and the obligations contained herein. The Debtor appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact to endorse any draft, make any claim under such insurance and execute any proof of claim and to do all other things necessary and required to effect a settlement under any insurance policies. In the event of a failure by Debtor to procure and maintain such insurance, Secured Party is hereby authorized and empowered (but not obligated) to do so and the premiums paid for same shall be a lien against the Collateral, added to the amount of the indebtedness secured hereby and payable on demand with interest at the lessor of 2% per month or the maximum legal rate.
4. RISK OF LOSS AND MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL: All risks of loss, theft or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by the Debtor. Debtor agrees to keep the Collateral in first class operating condition and appearance at all times. Upon any failure of the Debtor to comply with the foregoing, Secured Party, in addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause repairs to be made to the Collateral, the cost of which shall be a lien against the Collateral, added to the amount of the indebtedness secured hereby and payable on demand with interest at the lessor of 2% per month or the maximum legal rate.
5. USE OF COLLATERAL AND OTHER DEBTOR OBLIGATIONS: Debtor agrees that it will not use the Collateral in violation of any statute or ordinance or applicable insurance policy and will promptly pay all taxes, assessments, license fees and other public or private charges levied or assessed against the Collateral and this obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement; that Debtor will not permit any lien, charge, encumbrance or security interest of any kind whatsoever (other than Secured Party's security interest) to accrue upon or attach to the Collateral; that Debtor will not remove the Collateral from its location as above set forth without the prior written consent of Secured Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld; that if any part of the Collateral is subject to a certificate of title law, Debtor will cause Secured Party's security interest to be noted thereon and promptly deliver such certificate of title to Secured Party, that Debtor will not secrete, sell, transfer, dispose of, attempt to dispose of, substantially modify or abandon the Collateral or any part thereof; that Debtor will sign and deliver to Secured Party such Financing Statements and Continuation Statements, in form acceptable to Secured Party, as Secured Party may, from time to time, reasonably request, or as are reasonably necessary in the opinion of Secured Party, to establish and maintain a valid security interest in the Collateral and Debtor will pay any relative filing fees or costs with respect thereto and for prior lien searches; and that Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any financing statement or other document which may be required to establish and/or maintain Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral and/or the additional collateral security covered by the provisions of paragraph 7 below. Debtor shall, at its own cost and expense, protect and defend its title to the Collateral and defend all actions and claims which may be asserted against the Collateral and its use thereof. In the event of a failure by Debtor to pay any taxes, assessments, license fees and other public or private changes levied or assessed against the Collateral, Secured Party, in addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payments, and the amounts so paid shall be a lien against the Collateral added to the amount of the indebtedness secured hereby and payable on demand with interest at the lesser of 2% per month or the maximum legal rate. Debtor will allow Secured Party and its representatives free access to the Collateral at all times for purposes of inspection or repair. Debtor will furnish to Secured Party unaudited quarterly financial statements within thirty (30) days after the end of its first three quarters in each fiscal year and its Form 10K or a certified Financial Statement prepared by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Secured Party within ninety (90) days after the close of its fiscal year, all of which shall be true and correct in all respects, shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be supplied until the indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full.
6.

Upon the occurrence of any default, the indebtedness secured hereby and all other obligations then owing by the Debtor to Secured Party shall, if Secured Party so elects, become immediately due and payable and Secured Party shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable laws, and it shall then be lawful for, and Secured Party is hereby authorized and empowered, with the aid and assistance of any person or persons, to enter any premises were the Collateral or any part thereof is, or may be placed, and to assemble and/or remove same and/or to render if unusable and sell and dispose of such Collateral at one or more public or private sales upon at least five business (5) days written notice to Debtor of such sale. The proceeds of each such sale shall be applied by Secured Party toward the payment of expenses of retaking, including transportation, storage, refurbishing, preparing for such sale, advertising, selling and all related charges and disbursements in connection therewith and the indebtedness and interest secured hereby. Should the proceeds of any such sale be insufficient to fully pay all the items above mentioned, Debtor hereby covenants and agrees to pay any deficiency to Secured Party and if Secured Party employs counsel for the purpose of effecting collection of any monies due hereunder (whether or not Secured Party has retaken the Collateral or any part thereof) or for the purpose of recovering the Collateral or for the purpose of protecting Secured Party's interest because of any default of Debtor, Debtor agrees to pay reasonable attorneys' fees and such attorneys' fees shall be a lien on the Collateral herein and the proceeds thereof. Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a price to be designated by Security Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties. All rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive and a waiver by Secured Part of any breach by Debtor of the terms, covenants, and conditions hereof shall not constitute a waiver of future breaches or defaults and no failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any of its options, powers, rights or remedies or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof.

ADDITIONAL SECURITY: As additional collateral security for the Debtor's obligations under the Loan and any other obligation of the Debtor to Secured Party, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in all machinery and equipment covered by any other lease, security agreement or conditional sales contract (collectively the "agreement") between the Debtor and Secured Party whether such agreement is now in existence or may hereafter come into existence and Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party all of its right, title and interest in and to any surplus money to which Debtor may be entitled upon the sale of any machinery and equipment covered by such agreement.
