As an inducement to Secured Party to make the loans, advances and extensions of credit to Debtor which are secured hereby, Debtor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Secured Party as follows:
(a) | Debtor now owns the Collateral, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, charges, security interests, and other encumbrances of every type, kind or nature.

Debtor will defend the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest in the same against any and all claims and demands of any person or persons who at any time claim any ownership or other interest therein; |
(b) | Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file all such Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements as Secured Party may require to perfect Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral and protect the same against the claims of third parties. No other financing statement has been filed or recorded which includes the Collateral or the proceeds of the Collateral, in whole or in part, within its collateral description; |
(c) | During the term of this Agreement, Debtor will not grant or suffer the existence of any other lien, claim, charge, security interest or other encumbrance of any type, kind or nature with respect to the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party and will, at all times, maintain good and merchantable title with respect to the same; |
(d) | Debtor will cause the Collateral to be insured with companies who are acceptable to the Secured Party, which insurance policies: (i) shall have such coverage provisions, policy limits and exclusions as Secured Party shall require; (ii) shall name Secured Party as an additional insured and/or loss payee thereunder, as its interests may appear; (iii) shall require at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Secured Party of any intended cancellation, modification, termination or expiration of the policy or policies evidencing such insurance.

The requirement of providing reasonable notice to Debtor shall be deemed satisfied if any such notice is delivered to Debtor at least five (5) days prior to the date on which any such disposition of the Collateral is to occur, which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Paragraph 9 of this Agreement. All costs and expenses which are expended or incurred by Secured Party to retake, hold, prepare for disposition and/or dispose of the Collateral including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, shall be added to the indebtedness secured hereby and shall be paid by Debtor to Secured Party.

8. | Waiver. |
No failure by Secured Party to insist upon exact compliance with any of the terms, provisions and/or conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as a waiver of the right to require exact compliance with each and every duty and obligation herein contained in the future.
