The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Inventory at locations as to which all actions required to be t aken pursuant to Section 9.2 have not been taken shall constitute Collateral, but, at the option of Lender, shall not be deemed to be Eligible Inventory unless and until such requirements are satisfied, which requirements shall include UCC-11 searches, opinions of counsel and the filing of appropriate Form UCC-1 Financing Statements.
5. In no way in limitation of the provisions of Section 9.10 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower will pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Premix-Marbletite, Acrocrete and Just-Rite

This provision shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the Financing Agreements.
6. EACH BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, ALL DOCUMENTS AT ANY TIME MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN.

FINALLY, EACH BORROWER
