(e) Debtor shall, promptly following Agent’s request, deliver to Agent the originals of all Accounts Receivable Documentation together with the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guaranties, and other documents and property evidencing or securing the Accounts in the same form as received by Debtor, each of which shall be properly endorsed by Debtor to Agent, with recourse.

(f) Agent shall have the right to settle, accept reduced amounts, adjust disputes and claims directly with, and give releases on behalf of Debtor to Account Debtors, upon such terms as Agent, in Agent’s good faith business judgment, determines to be appropriate.

(g) Except as otherwise provided by the UCC and except for any of the following arising from Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent shall not be directly or indirectly liable or responsible in any way or under any circumstances to Debtor or any other party for: (a) any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account; (b) any act, omission, error or delay of any kind by Agent in settling, failing to settle, collecting, or failing to collect any Account, including any act or omission which results in the loss or impairment of the Debtor’s Account, including any act or omission which results in the loss or impairment of the Debtor’s rights against any third person; (c) settling any Account for less than the full amount hereof; (d) any failure or delay by Agent in enforcing or collecting any payment under any Account; or (e) the performance or observance of any or all of Debtor’s duties, obligations, representations, or the warranties under any other agreement or document relating to any or all of the Collateral, including the Accounts.

(h) If for any reason Debtor receives any payment in connection with any of the Accounts following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor: (i) shall immediately pay or deliver such payment to Agent in the original form in which received by Debtor; (ii) shall endorse to Agent, with recourse, all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, and other instruments or documents representing such payment, (iii) shall not commingle such payment with any of Debtor’s other funds or property; and (iv) shall hold such payment separate and apart from Debtor’s other funds and property in an express trust for Lenders until paid or delivered to Agent.

6.7 Deposit and Investment Accounts. Agent may deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or similar agreement providing control of any Collateral.

6.8 Collection. Agent may take possession of and endorse and collect any or all notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment relating to the Collateral (including payments made under or with respect to any policy of insurance).

6.9 Postponement. Any public sale of any or all of the Collateral may be postponed from time to time by public announcement at the time and place last scheduled for the sale.

6.10 Discharge of Other Claims.

Security Agreement All Assets		- 11 -

6.11 Information. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6, it shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable for Agent to direct any prospective purchaser of any or all of the Collateral to Debtor to ascertain all information concerning the status of the Collateral.

6.12 Other Disposition. The Agent’s disposition of any or all of the Collateral in any manner which differs from the procedures specified above shall not be deemed to be commercially unreasonable to the extent such disposition complies with the applicable provisions of the UCC.

6.13 Judicial Action. Agent may reduce Agent’s claims for breach of any of the Obligations to judgment and foreclose or otherwise enforce its security interest in any or all of the Collateral by any available judicial procedure. If Agent has reduced its claims for breach of any of the obligations to judgment, the lien of any levy which may be made on any or all of the Collateral by virtue of any execution based upon such judgment shall relate back to the date of Agent’s perfection of its security interest in such Collateral. A judicial sale pursuant to such execution shall constitute a foreclosure of Agent’s security interest by judicial procedure, and Agent may purchase at such sale and thereafter hold the Collateral free of all rights of Debtor therein.

6.14 Receiver. Agent may obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and, at the option of Agent, to collect, sell or dispose of all or part of the Collateral.

6.15 Discharge Claims. Agent may discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances and taxes affecting any or all of the Collateral and take such other actions as Agent determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and Agent’s security interest therein. Agent, without releasing Debtor or any other party from any of the Obligations, may perform any of the Obligations in such manner and to such extent as Agent determine to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and Agent’s security interest therein.

6.16 Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral by Agent shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to all liabilities, obligations, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Agent in exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Security Agreement, including the costs and expenses of retaking, holding, and selling any or all of the Collateral and the costs and expenses of enforcing and collecting upon any or all of the Accounts;

(b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order and amounts as Agent may determine in Agent’s discretion;

(c) Third, to (i) the satisfaction of indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest in the Collateral if written demand therefor is received by Agent before distribution of any such proceeds; and (ii) to the satisfaction of any subordinate attachment lien or execution lien if notice of the levy of attachment or execution is received by Agent before distribution of any such proceeds. If requested by Agent the holder of a subordinate security interest in the Collateral shall furnish Agent with proof of its interest in the Collateral acceptable to Agent, and unless such holder does so, Agent shall have no obligation to comply with such holder’s demand; and

(d) Fourth, the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Debtor.

6.17 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Agent, as provided herein, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Agent, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of omission or commission by Agent, including specifically any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of the same, such waiver or release to be effected only through a written document executed by Agent and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.


Security Agreement All Assets		- 12 -

7. LIABILITY FOR DEFICIENCY. Debtor shall at all times remain liable for any deficiency remaining on the Obligations for which Debtor is liable after any disposition of any or all of the Collateral and after Agent’s application of any proceeds to the Obligations.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Taxes and Other Expenses Regarding the Collateral.
