5. Preservation and Protection of Security Interest. Each of the Borrower and the Stockholder represents and warrants that it has, and covenants and agrees that at all times during the term of this Agreement, it will have, good and marketable title to the Collateral from time to time owned or acquired by it free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances, except for the Permitted Liens and those junior in right of payment and enforcement to that of the Lender or in favor of the Lender, and shall defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons, firms and entities whomsoever. Assuming Lender has taken all required action to perfect a security interest in the Collateral as provided by the Code, each of the Borrower and the Stockholder represents and warrants that as of the date of this Agreement the Lender has, and that all times in the future the Lender will have, a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, prior and superior to the rights of all third parties in the Collateral existing on the date of this Agreement or arising after the date of this Agreement, subject to the Permitted Liens. Except as permitted by this Agreement, each of the Borrower and the Stockholder covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lender (i) borrow against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral from any other person, firm or entity, except for borrowings which are subordinate to the rights of the Lender, (ii) grant or create or permit to attach or exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance, or security interest on, of or in any of the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral except those in favor of the Lender or the Permitted Liens, (iii) permit any levy or attachment to be made against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral, except those subject to the Permitted Liens, or (iv) permit any financing statements to be on file with respect to any of the Collateral, except financing statements in favor of the Lender or those with respect to the Permitted Liens. The Borrower and the Stockholder shall faithfully preserve and protect the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and shall, at their own cost and expense, cause, or assist the Lender to cause that security interest to be perfected and continue perfected so long as the Debt or any portion of the Debt is outstanding, unpaid or executory. For purposes of the perfection of the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Stockholder shall from time to time at the request of the Lender file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, such instruments, documents and notices, including assignments, financing statements and continuation statements, as the Lender may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. The Borrower and the Stockholder shall do all such other acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other instruments and documents, including further security agreements, pledges, endorsements, assignments and notices, as the Lender in its discretion may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and preserve the priority of such security interest as a first lien security interest in the Collateral prior to the rights of all third persons, firms and entities, subject to the Permitted Liens and except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Borrower and the Stockholder agree that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed instead of the original.

6. Insurance. Risk of loss of, damage to or destruction of the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures is on the Borrower. The Borrower shall insure the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures against such risks and casualties and in such amounts and with such insurance companies as is ordinarily carried by corporations or other entities engaged in the same or similar businesses and similarly situated or as otherwise reasonably required by the Lender in its sole discretion. In the event of loss of, damage to or destruction of the Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures during the term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such loss, damage or destruction. At the reasonable request of the Lender, each of the Borrower’s policies of insurance shall contain loss payable clauses in favor of the Borrower and the Lender as their respective interests may appear and shall contain provision for notification of the Lender thirty (30) days prior to the termination of such policy. At the request of the Lender, copies of all such policies, or certificates evidencing the same, shall be deposited with the Lender. If the Borrower fails to effect and keep in full force and effect such insurance or fails to pay the premiums when due, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) do so for the account of the Borrower and add the cost thereof to the Debt. The Lender is irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of the Borrower to endorse any draft or check which may be payable to the Borrower in order to collect the proceeds of such insurance. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender will turn over to the Borrower the proceeds of any such insurance collected by it on the condition that the Borrower apply such proceeds either (i) to the repair of damaged Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures, or (ii) to the replacement of destroyed Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures with Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures of the same or similar type and function and of at least equivalent value (in the sole judgment of the Lender), provided such replacement Equipment, Fixtures or Inventory is made subject to the security interest created by this Agreement and constitutes a first lien security interest in the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures subject only to Permitted Liens and other security interests permitted under this Agreement, and is perfected by the filing of financing statements in the appropriate public offices and the taking of such other action as may be necessary or desirable in order to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. Any balance of insurance proceeds remaining in the possession of the Lender after payment in full of the Debt shall be paid over to the Borrower or its order.
10
7. Maintenance and Repair. The Borrower shall maintain the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures, and every portion thereof, in good condition, repair and working order, reasonable wear and tear alone excepted, and shall pay and discharge all taxes, levies and other impositions assessed or levied thereon as well as the cost of repairs to or maintenance of the same. If the Borrower fails to do so, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the cost of such repairs or maintenance and such taxes, levies or impositions for the account of the Borrower and add the amount of such payments to the Debt.
8. Preservation of Rights Against Third Parties; Preservation of Collateral in Lender’s Possession. Until such time as the Lender exercise its right to effect direct collection of the Accounts and the Chattel Paper and to effect the enforcement of the Borrower’s contract rights, the Borrower assume full responsibility for taking any and all commercially reasonable steps to preserve rights in respect of the Accounts and the Chattel Paper and their contracts against prior parties. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such of the Collateral as may come into its possession from time to time if the Lender takes such action for that purpose as the Borrower shall request in writing, provided that such requested action shall not, in the judgment of the Lender, impair the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral or its right in, or the value of, the Collateral, and provided further that the Lender receives such written request in sufficient time to permit the Lender to take the requested action.
9. Events of Default and Remedies.
(a) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist, the Lender may then or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, foreclose the lien or security interest in the Collateral in any way permitted by law, or upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Borrower or the Stockholder, sell any or all Collateral at private sale at any time or place in one or more sales, at such price or prices and upon such terms, either for cash or on credit, as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect, or sell any or all Collateral at public auction, either for cash or on credit, as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect, and at any such sale, the Lender may bid for and become the purchaser of any or all such Collateral. Pending any such action the Lender may liquidate the Collateral.
(b) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist, the Lender may then, or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, grant extensions to, or adjust claims of, or make compromises or settlements with, debtors, guarantors or any other parties with respect to Collateral or any securities, guarantees or insurance applying thereon, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower or the Stockholder, without affecting the Borrower’s or the Stockholder’s liability under this Agreement or the Note. Each of the Borrower and the Stockholder waives notice of acceptance, of nonpayment, protest or notice of protest of any Accounts or Chattel Paper or any of its contract rights and any other notices to which the Borrower or the Stockholder may be entitled.
11
(c) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist and be continuing, then in any such event, the Lender shall have such additional rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof as are provided by the Code and such other rights and remedies in respect thereof which it may have at law or in equity or under this Agreement, including without limitation the right to enter any premises where Equipment, Inventory and/or Fixtures are located and take possession and control thereof without demand or notice and without prior judicial hearing or legal proceedings, which the Borrower and the Stockholder expressly waive.
(d) The Lender shall apply the Proceeds of any sale or liquidation of the Collateral, and, subject to Section 6, any Proceeds received by the Lender from insurance, first to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such sale or collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, second to the payment of the Debt, whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect, and then to pay the balance, if any, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. If such Proceeds are insufficient to pay the amounts required by law, the Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency.
(e) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Borrower shall promptly upon written demand by the Lender assemble the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures and make them available to the Lender at a place or places to be designated by the Lender. The rights of the Lender under this paragraph to have the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures assembled and made available to it is of the essence of this Agreement and the Lender may, at its election, enforce such right by an action in equity for injunctive relief or specific performance, without the requirement of a bond.
10. Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement upon payment and performance in full of the Debt, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and the Lender shall thereupon terminate its security interest in the Collateral. Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns, provided that, without the prior written consent of the Lender, the Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement or delegate any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement and any such attempted assignment or delegation shall be null and void. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to obligate the Lender to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or disability of the Borrower.
12
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
(b) No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement and the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Lender under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other right, remedy, power or privilege or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Lender under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they may otherwise have.
