(e)           Collateral Duties. Do whatever Secured Party may request from time
to time by way of obtaining, executing, delivering and filing financing
statements, assignments, landlord's or mortgagee's waivers, and other notices

           6.           Rights of Secured Party. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right to declare all of the
Obligations to be immediately due and payable and shall then have the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC or under any other applicable law,
including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral,
and in addition thereto, the right to enter upon any premises on which the
Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom and
the right to occupy the Debtor's premises for the purposes of liquidating
Collateral, including without limitation, conducting an auction thereon. Secured
Party may require the Debtor to make the Collateral (to the extent the same is
moveable) available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured
Party. Secured Party may, at its option, sell the Collateral on credit, and
furthermore may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the
Collateral and may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like,
which shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness
of any sale of the Collateral. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens
to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, Secured Party will give the Debtor at least ten (10) days' prior written
notice at the address of the Debtor set forth above (or at such other address or
addresses as the Debtor shall specify in writing to Secured Party) of the time
and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale
or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Any such notice shall
be deemed to meet any requirement hereunder or under any applicable law
(including the UCC) that reasonable notification be given of the time and place
of such sale or other disposition. After deducting all costs and expenses of
collection, storage, custody, sale or other disposition and delivery (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) and all other reasonable charges against the
Collateral, the residue of the Proceeds of any such sale or disposition shall be
applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order of priority as Secured
Party shall determine and any surplus shall be returned to the Debtor or to any
person or party lawfully entitled thereto. In the event the Proceeds of any
sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder, including without
limitation, the Proceeds from the collection of Accounts, are insufficient to
pay all of the Obligations in full, the Debtor will be liable for the
deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the maximum rate allowable by
law, and the costs and expenses of collection of such deficiency, including (to
the extent permitted by law) without limitation, attorneys' fees, expenses and
disbursements.

7.           Right of Secured Party to Use and Operate Collateral, Etc. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right and power
to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, and to exclude the
Debtor and all persons claiming under the Debtor wholly or partly therefrom, and
thereafter to hold, store, and/or use, operate, manage and control the same.
Upon any such taking of possession, Secured Party without obligation to do so,
may, from time to time, at the expense of the Debtor, make all such repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to the Collateral as
Secured Party may deem proper. The Debtor hereby expressly waives any obligation
of the Secured Party to process and/or prepare any Collateral prior to any sale
or other disposition thereof.  Upon any taking of possession of all or any part
of the Collateral, Secured Party shall have the right to manage and control the
Collateral and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of
the Debtor in respect thereto as Secured Party shall reasonably deem best,
including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to
the operation of the Collateral or any part thereof as Secured Party may see
fit; and Secured Party shall be entitled to collect and receive all issues,
profits, fees, revenues and other income of the same and every part thereof.
Such issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay
the expenses of holding and operating the Collateral and of conducting the
business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations,
additions and improvements, and to make all payments which Secured Party may be
required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and
other charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments
which Secured Party may be required or authorized to make under any provision of
this Agreement (including legal costs and attorneys' fees). The remainder of
such issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to the
payment of the Obligations in such order of priority as Secured Party shall
determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party shall
have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of
competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Secured Party to enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder in order to manage, protect and preserve the
Collateral and continue the operation of the business of the Debtor and to
collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of
all expenses and other charges of such receivership including the compensation
of the receiver and to the payment of the Obligations as aforesaid until a sale
or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated.

8.           Events of Default. The Debtor shall be in default under this
Agreement upon the happening of any of the following events or conditions
(herein individually called an “Event of Default” and collectively called
“Events of Default”):

(a)          Failure by Debtor to do anything required by the Note and other
Loan Documents;
(b)          The occurrence of an Event of Default under the terms of any other
Loan Document.

9.           Perfection.  The Debtor shall at any time and from time to time, at
Debtor’s expense, take such steps as the Secured Party may reasonably request
for the Secured Party (a) to obtain an acknowledgement, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Secured Party, of any bailee having possession of any of the
Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for the Secured Party, (b) to
obtain “control” of any Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-Of-Credit
Rights or electronic Chattel Paper (as such terms are defined in the UCC), with
any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance satisfactory to
the Secured Party, (c) to obtain possession of all or any portion of the
Collateral in order to perfect its security interest therein in addition to the
filing of a financing statement, and (d) otherwise to insure the continued
perfection and priority of the Secured Party’s security interest in any of the
Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein.

10.         Application of Payments.  To the extent that Debtor uses the
proceeds of the loan secured hereby to purchase any Collateral, Debtor’s
repayment shall be applied on a “first-in-first-out” basis so that the portion
of said loan used to purchase a particular item of Collateral shall be paid in
the chronological order Debtor purchased such Collateral.

11.         Termination; Assignment, Etc. This Agreement and the security
interest in the Collateral created hereby shall terminate when all of the
Obligations have been paid and finally discharged in full. No waiver by Secured
Party or by any other holder of the Obligations of any default shall be
effective unless in writing signed by Secured Party or such other holder nor
shall any waiver granted on any one occasion operate as a waiver of any other
default or of the same default on a future occasion. In the event of a sale or
assignment by Secured Party of all or any of the Obligations held by Secured
Party, Secured Party may assign or transfer its respective rights and interests
under this Agreement in whole or in part to the purchaser or purchasers of such
Obligations, whereupon such purchaser or purchasers shall become vested with all
of the powers and rights hereunder, and Secured Party shall thereafter be
forever released and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility
hereunder with respect to the rights and interests so assigned except that
Secured Party shall be liable for damages suffered by the Debtor as a result of
actions taken by Secured Party in bad faith or with willful misconduct.

assigns and all persons who become bound as a Debtor to this Agreement. In case
