DEBTOR WARRANTS AND AGREES:
1. Debtor's principal place of business is located at the Premises. In
the event that Debtor should relocate its principal place of business to any
other location, Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party, in writing, of the
location to which it has moved its principal place of business not less than ten

claiming the same or an interest therein.
3. No Financing Statement covering any of the Collateral or any
proceeds thereof is on file in any public office, except for capital leases (for
cubes and copiers) and the financing of insurance policies. Debtor agrees to
execute, and hereby authorizes Secured Party to execute, on behalf of both
Debtor and Secured Party, one or more Financing Statements, pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code, in form satisfactory to Secured Party, and to file or
record same in all public offices wherever filing or recording is deemed by
Secured Party to be necessary or desirable and Debtor agrees to pay the cost of
filing or recording the same and/or this Agreement.

protect the Collateral, not to commit or permit any waste thereof, and to
maintain the Collateral in good order, repair and condition, reasonable wear and
tear excepted.
5. Not to remove any of the Collateral from the Premises, except for
the purposes of repair or replacement with other articles of substantially
similar quality and value, which will not be subject to any lien, encumbrances
or interests in others, except for the security interest granted hereby, and
from time to time, to furnish Secured Party at its request itemized lists of
such replacements and to permit Secured Party to inspect the Collateral at any
time.

any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

other insurance policies (including all risk, and earthquake insurance) on the
Collateral, as Secured Party may, at its discretion, require, in amounts and
with companies satisfactory to Secured Party with loss payable to Secured Party.
8. If Debtor fails to make any payment due hereunder or do any other
act as herein required, then Secured Party, without obligation to do so and
without notice to or demand upon Debtor, may make such payments and do such acts
as Secured Party may deem necessary to protect its security interest in the
Collateral, Secured Party being hereby authorized (without limiting the general
nature of the authority hereinabove conferred) to take possession of the
Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Secured Party may so do
without breach of the peace, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any
security interest, encumbrance, charge or lien which, in the judgment of Secured
Party, appears to be prior or superior to or to jeopardize the security interest
granted hereby, and in exercising any such powers and authority to incur
necessary expenses, including attorneys' fees; provided, however, that in case
of a curable non-monetary default only, Secured Party shall first give Debtor
written notice of the default an a period of 15 days which to cure such default.
Secured Party's determination as to whether or not Debtor has failed to make any
payment or do any act as herein required shall be final and conclusive. Debtor
hereby agrees to repay immediately and without demand all sums expended
-2-

date of expenditure at the rate provided in the Note.

default within 15 days following Debtor's receipt of written notice of the
default from Secured Party;
(b) Default by Debtor under the Note or the Stock Pledge
Agreement, both dated of even date herewith, between Debtor and Secured Party,
provided, however, that in case of a curable non-monetary default only, Debtor
has failed to cure such default within 15 days following Debtor's receipt of
written notice of the default from Secured Party;
(c) Any warranty, representation or statement, made or
furnished to Secured Party by or on behalf of Debtor, proves to have been false
in any material respect when made or furnished;

is not dismissed within a period of sixty (60) days from the filing date.
10. Upon an Event of Default, Secured Party, at its option, without
demand upon or notice to Debtor, may declare all indebtednesses, obligations and
liabilities secured hereby to be immediately due and payable, and Secured Party
shall have all the rights and remedies provided a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code and may proceed to foreclose the security interest
created hereby according to law, and may, at its option, and it is hereby
empowered, with or without foreclosure action, to enter upon the Premises or any
other premises where the Collateral or any part thereof may be and take
possession thereof and remove the Collateral or any part thereof. In addition,
Secured Party may require and Debtor agrees to assemble the Collateral and make
it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which
is reasonably convenient to both parties. Unless the Collateral is perishable or
threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, Secured Party will give Debtor reasonable notice of the time
and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private or
other intended disposition is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice
shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to the address of Debtor
-3-
shown above at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition.
The Collateral may be sold in one or more lots and at one or more sales, which
may be held on different days and need not be held within view of the Collateral
being sold. Secured Party shall deduct and retain from the proceeds of such sale
or sales all costs and expenses paid or incurred in the taking, removal,
holding, preparing for sale or sales of the Collateral, including any reasonable
attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred or paid by Secured Party; the
balance of the proceeds shall be applied by Secured party upon the
indebtednesses, obligations and liabilities secured hereby, in such order and
manner as Secured Party may determine, and the surplus, if any, shall be paid to
Debtor or to the person or persons lawfully entitled to receive the same.
(a) Secured Party, at its option, shall have the right to
commence any action or proceeding against a third party or appear in or defend
any action or proceeding brought by a third party purporting to affect the
rights, duties or liabilities of the parties hereto, including, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, an action to foreclose the security interest
created hereby, and in connection therewith to incur costs, expenses and
attorneys' fees in any such action or proceeding in which the Secured Party
shall appear, all of which costs, expenses and attorneys' fees will be paid or
reimbursed to Secured Party by Debtor together with interest from the date of
expenditure at the rate provided in the Note.
(b) In the event of any default hereunder, Secured Party shall
be entitled, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the Collateral
and of any other security for the indebtedness hereby secured, to the
appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or any part of the
Collateral and to exercise such powers as the Court shall confer upon him.
(c) At any public sale or sales made under this Section 9 or
authorized herein or by laws, or at any sale or sales made upon judicial
foreclosure of this security interest, Secured Party (or its representative) may
bid for and purchase any Collateral being sold and, in the event of such
purchase, shall hold such property thereafter discharged of all rights of
redemption.
11. After an Event of Default, Secured Party shall be entitled to
enforce any indebtedness, obligation or liability secured hereby and to exercise
all rights and powers hereby conferred, although some or all of the
indebtedness, obligations and liabilities secured hereby are now or shall
hereafter be otherwise secured. Debtor's acceptance of this Agreement shall not
affect or prejudice Secured Party's right to realize upon or enforce any other
security now or hereafter held by Secured Party, and Secured Party shall be
entitled to exercise all rights of set-off to the same effect and in the same
manner as if this security interest had not been given.
12. In the event suit is brought to enforce or interpret any part of
this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as an element
of damages, its cost of suit and, not as damages, a reasonable attorneys' fee to
be fixed by the Court.
13. The words "Secured Party" and "Debtor", as used herein, shall be
construed to include the heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors,
successors and assigns,
-4-
respectively, of Secured Party and Debtor. This Agreement shall bind and inure
to the benefit of such third persons. Whenever the context so requires, the
masculine gender includes the feminine and neuter, the singular number includes
the plural, and vice versa. All references herein to the Uniform Commercial Code
means the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the State in which Secured
