Lender may be the purchaser at any such sale, and payment may be made, in whole or in part, in respect of such purchase price by the application of Obligations due from Debtor to Lender. Debtor shall be obligated for, and the proceeds of sale shall be applied first to, the costs of retaking, refurbishing, storing, guarding, insuring, preparing for sale, and selling the Collateral, including the fees and disbursements of attorneys, auctioneers, appraisers, consultants and accountants employed by Lender. Proceeds from the Sale or other disposition or Collateral shall be applied to the payment, in whatever order Lender may elect, of all Obligations of Debtor. Lender shall return any excess to Debtor and Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency. Collateral securing purchase money security interests also secures non-purchase money security interests. To the extent Debtor uses an advance under the Loan Documents to purchase Collateral, Debtor's repayment of such advance shall apply on a "first-in-first-out" basis so that the portion of the advance used to purchase a particular item of Collateral shall be paid in the chronological order Debtor purchased the Collateral. Upon request of Lender, Debtor will assemble and make the Collateral available to Lender, at a reasonable place and time designated by Lender. Debtor's failure to take possession of any Collateral at any time and place reasonably specified by Lender in a Record to Debtor shall constitute an abandonment of such Property.

(c) Lender shall not be responsible to Debtor for loss or damage resulting from Lender's failure to enforce or collect any Collateral or any monies due or to become due under any liability of Debtor to Lender.
(d) After a Default or an Event of Default, Debtor (i) will make no change in any Receivable or General Intangible, and (ii) shall receive as the sole property of Lender and hold in trust for Lender all monies, checks, notes, drafts, and other property (collectively called "Items of Payment") representing the proceeds of any Collateral.

(e) After an Event of Default, Lender may but shall be under no obligation to: (i) notify all appropriate parties that the Collateral, or any part thereof, has been assigned to Lender; (ii) collect any Receivables or General Intangibles in Lender's own or Debtor's name, and apply any such collections against such obligations of Debtor to Lender as Lender may select; (iii) take control of any cash or non-cash proceeds of any item of the Collateral; (iv) compromise, extend or renew any Receivables, General Intangible, or document, or deal with the same as it may deem advisable; and (v) make exchanges, substitutions or surrender of items comprising the Collateral.

5.9 Lender's Right of Set-Off. Lender may, at any time upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder and without any further notice to Debtor (such notice being expressly waived), set-off or apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, or any other Indebtedness at any time owing by Lender or any affiliate of Lender or any participant in Lender's loans, to Debtor to or for the credit or the account of Debtor against any Obligation irrespective of whether any demand has been made hereunder or whether such Obligation is mature.

5.10 Expense of Collection and Sale. Debtor agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement or any other

12






document, or any other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, in determining Lender's rights under, and in enforcing and collecting the indebtedness represented by the guaranty and in determining its rights under and enforcing the security interests created by this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs and expenses relating to taking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale, appraising, selling or otherwise realizing on the Collateral, and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any of the foregoing. All such reasonable costs and expenses shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at the highest rate charged on any Obligation, payable on demand, from the date of Lender's payment of such costs and expenses until payment of all Obligations is made in full, at the highest rate of interest permitted by law.

5.11 Compliance with Other Laws. Lender may comply with any applicable law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

5.12 Warranties. Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

5.13 Sales on Credit. If Lender sells any of the Collateral on credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the Indebtedness. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral, and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

6.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

6.1 Waivers. Debtor expressly waives notice of nonpayment, demand, presentment, protest or notice of protest in relation to the Loan Documents or the Collateral. No delay or omission of Lender in exercising or enforcing any of its rights, powers, privileges, options or remedies under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Lender of any default by Debtor shall operate as a waiver of any other default.

6.2 Remedies Not Exclusive. All rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, irrespective of any other collateral guaranty, right or remedy and may be exercised by Lender at such time or times and in such order as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine, and are for the sole benefit of Lender. The exercise or failure to exercise such rights and remedies shall not result in liability to Debtor or others except in the event of willful misconduct or bad faith by Lender, and in no event shall Lender be liable for more than it actually receives as a result of the exercise or failure to exercise such rights and remedies.

6.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is entered into for the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. It shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of such parties, their successors and assigns. Lender shall have the right, without the necessity of any further consent or authorization by Debtor, to sell, assign, securitize or grant participation in all, or a portion of, Lender's interest in the Collateral, to other financial institutions of the Lender's choice and on such terms as are acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion.

6.4 Notices. Wherever this Agreement provides for notice to any party (except as expressly provided to the contrary), it shall be given by messenger, certified U.S. mail with return receipt requested, or nationally recognized overnight courier with receipt requested, effective when either received or receipt rejected by the party to whom addressed, and shall be addressed as follows:

6.5 Strict Performance. The failure by Lender at any time to require Debtor’s strict compliance with or performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect, impair or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand Debtor’s strict compliance with and performance of such provision. Any suspension or waiver by Lender of any Default or Event of Default shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or Event of Default, whether the same is prior or subsequent to such suspension or waiver and whether of the same or a different type.

6.6 Construction of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the terms, provisions and language of this Agreement were the result of negotiations between the parties, and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against either party. Any controversy over the construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.

6.7     WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. Debtor and Lender recognize that in matters related to this Agreement, and as it may be subsequently modified and/or amended, either party may be entitled to a trial in which matters of fact are determined by a jury (as opposed to a trial in which such matters are determined by a judge, magistrate, referee or other elected or appointed decider of facts). By executing this Agreement, Lender and Debtor will give up their respective right to a trial by jury. Debtor and Lender each hereby expressly acknowledges that this waiver is entered into to avoid delays, minimize trial expenses, and streamline the legal proceedings in order to accomplish a quick resolution of claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement.



(a) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, DEBTOR AND LENDER EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT DEBTOR OR LENDER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, AT ANY TIME ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, BEFORE OR AFTER MATURITY.

(b) CERTIFICATIONS. DEBTOR HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NEITHER ANY REPRESENTATIVE NOR AGENT OF LENDER NOR LENDER'S COUNSEL HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, OR IMPLIED THAT LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LENDER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATION HEREIN.

6.8 Entire Agreement; Amendments; Lender's Consent. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits) constitutes the entire agreement between Lender and Debtor with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements or conditions between Lender and Debtor, whether express or implied, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by Debtor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be Authenticated by Lender in a Record, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

6.9 Cross Default; Cross Collateral. Debtor hereby agrees that (a) a Default or an Event of Default under this Agreement is a default or an event of default under all the other Loan Documents and a default under any of such other Loan Documents is a Default or an Event of Default under this Agreement, and (b) the Collateral under this Agreement secures the Obligations now or hereafter outstanding under all other agreements between Debtor and Lender and the Collateral pledged under any other agreement with Lender secures the Obligations under this Agreement.

6.10 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

6.11 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.12     Schedules. All of the Schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof.

17
