- 9 -
upon the Collateral, perform any duty or obligation of Borrower, pay filing, recording, insurance and other charges payable by Borrower, or provide insurance as provided herein if Borrower fails to do so. Any such payments advanced by Lender shall be repaid by Borrower upon demand, together with interest thereon from the date of the advance until repaid, both before and after judgment, at the Default Rate.
8. Default. Time is of the essence of this Security Agreement. The occurrence of any Event of Default shall constitute a default under this Security Agreement.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such
- 10 -
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.
