equity, the Secured Party shall have, both before and after default, all rights
and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA. Provided always, that the

remedies, take possession of, collect, enforce, realize, sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral or to institute any proceedings for such
purposes. Furthermore, the Secured Party shall have no obligation to take any
steps to preserve rights against prior parties to any Instrument or Chattel

will decline speedily in value, the Secured Party will give the Debtor such
notice of the date, time and place of any public sale or of the date after which
any private disposition of the Collateral is to be made, as may be required by
the PPSA.

(a) The Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file such
financing statements and other documents and do such acts, matters and things
(including completing and adding schedules hereto identifying the Collateral or
any permitted Encumbrances affecting the Collateral or identifying the locations

relating thereto are situate) as the Secured Party may deem appropriate to
perfect and continue the Security Interest, to protect and preserve the
Collateral and to realize upon the Security Interest and the Debtor hereby

indulgences, take and give up security, accept compositions, compound,

other security as the Secured Party may see fit without prejudice to the
liability of the Debtor or the Secured Party's right to hold and realize the
Security Interest. Furthermore, the Secured party may demand, collect and xxx on
the Collateral in either the Debtor's or the Secured Party's name, at the
Secured Party's option, and may endorse the Debtor's name on any and all
cheques, commercial paper, and any other Instruments pertaining to or
constituting the Collateral.

remedy hereunder or with respect to any of the Indebtedness shall operate as a

exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy. Furthermore, the Secured Party, may
remedy any default by the Debtor hereunder or with respect to any Indebtedness
