The aforementioned lien and security interest shall secure any and all of our Obligations to you, matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent, now existing or that may hereafter arise, and howsoever acquired by you, whether arising directly between us or acquired by you by assignment and whether relating to this agreement or independent hereof, together with all interest, charges, commissions, expenses, attorneys’ fees and other items chargeable against us in connection with any of said Obligations.

Should we fail for any reason to furnish you with such insurance, you shall have the right to effect the same and charge any costs in connection therewith to us. You shall have no risk, liability or responsibility in connection with payment or nonpayment of any loss, your sole obligation being to credit our account with the net proceeds of any such insurance payments received on account of any loss. Any and all assessments, taxes or other charges that may be assessed upon or payable with respect to the Inventory or any part thereof shall forthwith be paid by us, and we agree that you, in your discretion, may effect such payment and charge the amount thereof to us.
