(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank's rights with respect to the Collateral shall be those of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law in effect from time to time. The Bank shall also have any additional rights granted herein and in any other agreement now or hereafter in effect between the Borrower and the Bank.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the Bank to proceed against the Collateral or any part thereof before or as a condition to the pursuit of any of its other rights and remedies with respect to the Indebtedness. 7. Miscellaneous. ------------- (a) The Borrower authorizes the Bank at the Borrower's expense to file any financing statements relating to the Collateral (without the Borrower's singature thereon) which the Bank deems appropriate and the Borrower appoints the Bank as the Borrower's attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statements in the Borrower's name and to perform all other acts which the Bank deems appropriate to perfect and to continue perfection of the Security Interest. (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to any act by the Bank or its agents in entering upon any premises for the purposes of either (i) inspecting the Collateral or (ii) taking possession of the Collateral after any Event of Default in any commercially reasonable manner. The Borrower hereby waives its right to assert against the Bank or its agents any claim based upon trespass or any similar cause of action for entering upon any premises where the Collateral may be located. (c) The Borrower authorizes the Bank to collect and apply against the Indebtedness any refund of insurance premiums or any insurance proceeds payable on account of the loss or damage to any of the Collateral and appoints the Bank as the Borrower's attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or draft representing such proceeds or refund.

(e) No delay or omission by the Bank in exercising any right hereunder or with respect to any Indebtedness shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude the Bank from any other or further exercise of the right or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The Bank may cure any Event of Default by the Borrower in any reasonable manner without waiving the Event of Default so cured and without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default by 5 the Borrower. All rights and remedies of the Bank under this Agreement and under the Uniform Commercial Code shall be deemed cumulative. (f) The Bank shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral to the extent required by law and it shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it takes such action for that purpose as the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing; however, no omission to do any act not requested by the Borrower shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care and no omission to comply with any requests by the Borrower shall of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. The Bank shall have no obligation to take and the Borrower shall have the sole responsibility for taking any steps to preserve rights against all prior parties to any instrument or chattel paper in the Bank's possession as Collateral or as proceeds of the Collateral. The Borrower waives notice of dishonor and protest of any instrument constituting Collateral at any time held by the Bank on which the Borrower is in any way liable and waives notice of any other action taken by the Bank. (g) The Borrower shall, upon request of the Bank, direct each of its Account Debtors (as defined herein) to remit payment of all accounts to such lockbox, post office box or as the Bank may designate from time to time. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank may notify each Account Debtor of the Security Interest and may also direct such Account Debtor to make all payments on the Collateral to the Bank. All payments on and other proceeds from the Collateral received by the Bank directly or from the Borrower shall be applied to the Indebtedness in such order and manner and at such time as the Bank shall in its sole discretion determine. Unless the Bank notifies the Borrower in writing that it dispenses with one or more of the following requirements, any payments on or other proceeds of the Collateral received by the Borrower before or after notification to any Account Debtor shall be held by the Borrower in trust for the Bank in the same medium in which received, shall not be commingled with any assets of the Borrower and shall be turned over to the Bank not later than the next business day following the day of their receipt. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall also promptly notify the Bank of the return to or repossession by the Borrower of goods underlying any Collateral. For purposes hereof, an "Account Debtor" shall mean any person or entity who is obligated to pay the Borrower any amounts under any receivables, accounts, notes, instruments, chattel paper or general intangibles. (h) The Borrower authorizes the Bank without affecting the Borrower's obligations hereunder from time to time: (i) to take from any party and hold collateral (other than the Collateral) for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, and to exchange, enforce or release such collateral or any part thereof; (ii) to accept and hold the endorsement or guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof and to release or substitute any such endorser or guarantor or any party who has given any security interest in any collateral as security for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof or any party in any way obligated to pay the Indebtedness or any part thereof; and (iii) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default to direct the manner of the disposition 6 of the Collateral and any other collateral and the enforcement of any endorsements or guaranties relating to the Indebtedness or any part thereof as the Bank in its sole discretion may determine. (i) The Bank may demand, collect and sue for all proceeds (either in the Borrower's name or the Bank's name at the Bank's option), with the right to enforce, compromise, settle or discharge any proceeds. The Borrower irrevocably appoints the Bank as the Borrower's attorney-in-fact to endorse the Borrower's name on all checks, commercial paper and other instruments pertaining to the proceeds before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default. (j) The rights and benefits of the Bank under this Agreement shall, if the Bank agrees, inure to any party acquiring an interest in the Indebtedness or any part thereof. (k) The terms "Bank" and "Borrower" as used in this Agreement include the heirs, personal representatives and successors or assigns of those parties. (l) This agreement may not be modified or amended nor shall any provision of it be waived except in writing signed by the Borrower and by an authorized officer of the Bank.
