for the benefit of creditors, or (ii) admit in writing its inability, or be
generally unable, to pay its debts generally as they become due, or (iii)
voluntarily seek the benefit or benefits of any Debtor Relief Law, or (iv)
voluntarily become a party to any proceeding provided for by any Debtor Relief
Law that could suspend or otherwise affect any of the rights of Lender granted
in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Papers.
-7-
(d) INVOLUNTARY PROCEEDINGS. Borrower shall involuntarily (i) have an
order, judgment or decree entered against it by any Tribunal pursuant to any
Debtor Relief Law that could suspend or otherwise affect any of the rights
granted to Lender in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Papers, and such
order, judgment or decree is not stayed or reversed within thirty (30) days
after the entry thereof, or (ii) have a petition filed against it seeking the
benefit or benefits provided for by any Debtor Relief Law that would suspend or

days after the filing thereof.
(e) MISREPRESENTATION. Any statement, representation or warranty in
this Agreement, any of the other Loan Papers, or in any writing at any time
delivered to Lender pursuant to any of such documents, is materially false or
misleading.
6.2 REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs, the aggregate
unpaid principal balance of and accrued interest on the Obligations shall
thereupon become due and payable concurrently therewith, without any action by
Lender and without diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or
intent to accelerate, or notice of any other kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by Borrower. In lieu of the interest rate established by the
terms of the Note, Borrower shall pay Lender interest at the Default Rate on any
principal outstanding thereunder and on any unpaid interest due thereon from the
date of the Default.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its
election, do any one or more of the following:
(i) JUDGMENT. Reduce any claim to judgment.

the State of Ohio or any other jurisdiction, or by this
Agreement or any of the Loan Papers, or by Law or equity, or
otherwise, as Lender shall deem appropriate.
(iii) OFFSET. Exercise the right of offset against the interest of
Borrower in and to any funds or property in possession of
Lender to the fullest extent of the Obligation.
(a) PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. Should any covenant, duty or agreement of
Borrower fail to be performed in all respects in accordance with the terms of
the Loan papers, Lender may, at its option, perform, or attempt to perform, such
covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of Borrower. In such event, Borrower
shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay any amount expended by Lender in
such performance or attempted performance to Lender at Lender's principal
corporate offices, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the
date of such expenditure by Lender until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it
is expressly understood that Lender neither assumes nor shall ever have, except
by express written consent of Lender, any liability or responsibility for the
performance of any duties of Borrower hereunder.
(b) LENDER NOT IN CONTROL. None of the covenants or other provisions
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Papers shall, or shall be
deemed to, give Lender the rights or power to exercise control over the affairs
and/or management of Borrower, the power of Lender under the Loan Papers being
limited to the right to exercise the remedies provided in this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Papers.
-8-
(c) WAIVERS. The acceptance by Lender at any time and from time to time
of part payment on the Obligation shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Lender of any particular Event of
Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default other than said
Event of Default. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right
hereunder or under the Loan Papers shall impair such right or be construed as a
waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the
exercise of any other right hereunder or under the Loan Papers or otherwise.
(d) CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All rights available to Lender hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Papers shall be cumulative of, and in addition to,
all other rights granted to Lender at Law or inequity, whether or not the
Obligation be due and payable and whether or not Lender shall have instituted
any suit for collection or other action in connection with the Loan Papers.
6.3 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Effective immediately upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default hereunder, Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower's
attorney-in-fact with full power in Borrower's name and behalf to do every act
which Borrower is obligated to do or may be required to do hereunder; however,
nothing in this Section 6.3 shall be construed to obligate Lender to take any
action hereunder.
6.4 WAIVERS BY BORROWER. Borrower waives notices of the creation,
advance, increase, existence, extension or renewal of, and of any indulgence
with respect to, the Obligation; waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor,
and protest; waives notice of the amount of the Obligation outstanding at any
time and all other notices respecting the Obligation; and agrees that maturity
of the Obligation and any part thereof may be extended or renewed one or more
times by Lender in its discretion, without notice to Borrower.
6.5 RIGHTS AND POWERS OF LENDER. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender, without liability to Borrower, shall be entitled to obtain from
any Person information regarding Borrower or Borrower's business, which
information any such Person also may furnish without liability to Borrower.
Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission on the part of the lender,
its officers, agents or employees, except willful misconduct. The foregoing
rights and powers of Lender will be in addition to, and not a limitation upon,
any rights and powers of Lender given by Law, elsewhere in this Agreement, or
otherwise.
