and the Debtor agrees not to resist or interfere; (ii) require the Debtor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place to

sold on a recognized market, the Secured Parry will give the Debtor reasonable
notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof, or of the time after
which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made.
The requirements or reasonable notice will be met if such notice is mailed;
postage prepaid, to the address of the Debtor shown above, at least (3) three
days before the time of sale or disposition.
4.1 Further Agreements. Debtor further covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Insurance. To keep the Collateral insured against loss by fire
(including extended coverage), theft and other hazards, as the Secured Party may
require. The aggregate amount of such insurance shall at least equal but need
not exceed the replacement value of the Collateral. Policies shall be obtained
from reputable insurers licensed to do business in New York State. Certificates
of insurance policies, payable to the respective parties, as their interest may
appear, shall be deposited with the Secured Party who is authorized, but under
no duty, to obtain such insurance upon failure of the Debtor to do so. Debtor
shall give immediate written notice to the Secured Party and to insurers of loss
or damage to the Collateral and shall promptly file proofs of loss with
insurers. Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party the attorney for the Debtor
in obtaining, adjusting and canceling any such insurance and endorsing
settlement drafts and hereby assigns to the Secured Parry all sums which may
become payable under such insurance, including return premiums and dividends, as
additional security for the indebtedness.
(b) Damage. In the event of any damage or loss to the Collateral, or any
part thereof, resulting from fire, which loss shall be covered by appropriate
fire insurance, the proceeds received from any casualty company insuring such
risk, shall, subject to the rights of prior secured parties if any, be held and
retained in escrow by the attorney for the Secured Party (the "Escrow Agent"),
who shall apply same for repairing or replacing any such damaged or lost items
of the Collateral. The substituted chattels and equipment shall be deemed
covered by this Agreement. Any balance thereon remaining shall be paid to the
Debtor. Nothing herein contained shall vary or modify the obligation of the
Debtor to pay the Promissory Notes as and when they become due and payable.
However, should such casualty result in a termination of the real property lease
for the premises where the Collateral is situated, then and in such event, such
proceeds shall be_applied by the Escrow Agent subject to the rights of any prior
secured
9
parties, if any, to the payment of the then principal sums and interest due and
owing under this Agreement, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the
Debtor. The Debtor and the Secured Party agree to endorse any draft issued by
such casualty company upon the payment of such loss to the order of the Escrow
Agent, so as to enable the Escrow Agent to deposit the said draft for
collection, and to apply the funds as provided herein.
(c) Prepayment. Debtor shall have the privilege of prepaying with interest
to the date of such prepayment the principal sum remaining unpaid hereunder or
any part hereof in inverse order of the due dates.
(d) Impairment. It is further agreed that the lien of this Agreement shall
in no wise be affected or impaired, but shall continue until payment in full of
the Obligations have been completed in the event, among other things, that (i)
any one or more of the installments or Promissory Notes shall be increased or
decreased in amount, provided that the monthly payments shall not be increased;
or (ii) the due dates of any one or more of the installments of the Promissory
Notes shall be changed, provided the term is not shortened nor the frequency
changed; or (iii) any promissory note shall be substituted for the Promissory
Notes.
(e) Negotiate. It is further agreed that the Secured Party shall have the
right to discount, sell, pledge, negotiate or otherwise dispose of any of the
Promissory Notes without in any wise prejudicing or affecting the security
herein, and it is further expressly agreed that, should any of the Promissory
Notes, mature and remain unpaid, action may be brought and judgment be obtained
and collected on such Promissory Notes by any holder thereof, without in any way
or manner affecting or impairing this Agreement and without in any wise
altering, impairing or prejudicing the right of the Secured Party under the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement.
(f) Lease. The Debtor agrees to assign any new lease, modification or
extension thereof, procured by it to the Secured Parry, its successors or
assigns, or its designee under the same terms upon which the existing lease has,
as of the date hereof, been assigned. The Debtor, or any one procuring such
lease, modification or extension, shall be declared a trustee of such lease for
the benefit of the Secured Party, its successors or assigns, or its designee.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize or empower the Debtor to
execute any such new lease, modification or extension thereof with the landlord.
(g) Non-Compete. If there should be a default in the payment of any of the
Promissory Notes beyond the grace and applicable notice of default periods
resulting in a foreclosure of the lien of this Agreement or the repossession of
the Collateral, then the Debtor and/or its shareholders, officers, director,
partners or members if the Debtor should be a corporation, limited liability
company or partnership, jointly and severally, agree not to engage directly or
indirectly in the same or similar business of any kind or nature within a radius
of five blocks in every direction of the premises herein described for a period
of three years from the date of such foreclosure or repossession.
10
(h) Financing Statement. The Secured Party is hereby authorized to file
Financing Statements in the state and county wherein the business is situated,
duly executed by Debtor, currently herewith. (i) Further Assurances. Debtor
agrees that, from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Parry,
Debtor will execute and deliver such documents and do such acts and things as
the Secured Party may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes
of this Agreement and to secure the Collateral.
5.1 General Terms.
(a) Notes. Notes, if any, executed in connection with this Agreement, are
separate instruments and may be negotiated by Secured Parry without releasing
Debtor, the Collateral, or any guarantor or co-maker. Debtor consents to any
extension of time of payment. If there be more than one Debtor, guarantor or
co-maker of this Agreement or of notes secured hereby, the obligation of each
such party shall be primary, joint and several. The term "Promissory Notes"
shall be deemed to include any additional or substitute promissory notes given
by Debtor hereunder, now or in the future.
(b) Notices. Notice of any Default, a default in the payment of any of the
Promissory Notes, or any other Notices to either party shall be in writing and
shall be delivered personally or by certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to the party at the address set forth herein or otherwise designated
in writing. Debtor, its successor or assigns, shall have ten (10) days from the
mailing of any such notice within which to cure any such default before the
Secured Party shall have the right to assert any remedy, or to accelerate the
payment of the Promissory Notes. The date stamped upon the certification receipt
by the United States Post Office shall be deemed the date of mailing of such
notice. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to grant to the party in the
actual possession of the premises any extension of time to perform any such
covenant or to make any such payment, other than the Debtor.
(c) Expenses. Upon any Default or any request by Debtor to amend or waive
any term of this Agreement, the Debtor shall pay the Secured Party's attorneys'
fees and the legal and other expenses incurred by the Secured Party in
connection with such default, amendment or waiver.
