Party:
11.1.1. to not incur expenses to prepare Collateral for disposition or
otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or

Page 11 of 15
that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed
commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall
be construed to grant any rights to the Debtor or to impose any duties on the
Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or
by applicable law in the absence of this Section.
12. No Waiver by Secured Party, No failure to exercise and no delay in
--------------------------
exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall impair any right, power,
or remedy which Secured Party may have, nor shall any such delay be construed to
be a waiver of any of such rights, powers, or remedies, or any acquiescence in
any breach or default hereunder; nor shall any waiver by Secured Party of any
breach or default by Debtor hereunder be deemed a waiver of any default or
breach subsequently occurring. All rights and remedies granted to Secured Party
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any single or
partial exercise of, or any discontinuance of action begun to enforce, any such
right or remedy. The rights and remedies specified herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of each other or of any rights or remedies that Secured Party would

Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the
residue of any proceeds of collection or sale of the Obligations or Collateral

---------
waived, discharged or terminated, nor may any consent to the departure from the
terms hereof be given, orally (even if supported by new consideration), but only
by an instrument in writing signed by all parties to this Agreement. Any waiver
or consent so given shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.
15. Survival. All representations, warranties and agreements herein contained
--------
shall be effective so long as any portion of this Agreement remains executory.
16. No Lien Termination without Release. In recognition of the Secured
--------------------------------------
Party's right to have its attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in
connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding
payment in full of all Obligations by Debtor, Secured Party shall not be
required to terminate any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements filed in
its favor against the Debtor relating to the Collateral unless and until Debtor
and all entities which are secondarily liable on the Obligations has executed
and delivered to Secured Party a general release, covering claims both known and
unknown, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party. Debtor understands
that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under (S)9-513 of the
