harmless, protect and defend the Buyer, its officers, directors, Affiliates or employees from and against, and shall reimburse the Buyer, its officers, directors, Affiliates and employees for, any and all Buyer's Damages (as defined in 
Section 11.1(b)); provided, however, that the maximum obligation in respect of indemnification for Buyer's Damages payable by the Seller hereunder shall not exceed an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of Purchase
Price paid to the Seller except for Buyer's Damages in respect of: (i) Seller's representations in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.7 of this Agreement and  (ii) willful breach of a covenant contained herein in which each case indemnification for Buyer's Damages will not be so limited and further, provided, that
such indemnification is also limited as set forth in Section 11.4, Section 13.2 and Section 13.14.



          (b)     The term "Buyer's Damages" means all Damages sustained, incurred or suffered by the Buyer, its officers, directors, Affiliates or
employees after the Closing resulting from or arising in connection with:  (i) any misrepresentation by the Seller contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement in any certificate, instrument or agreement delivered to the Buyer as part of the Closing
under this Agreement; or  (ii) any breach of warranty or any default in the performance of any covenant or obligation of the Seller under this Agreement.



          Section 11.2     Indemnification by the Buyer.  (a) Following the Closing, the Buyer shall be liable for, shall indemnify the Seller and
its officers, directors, Affiliates and employees for, shall hold harmless, protect and defend the Seller and its officers, directors, Affiliates and employees, from and against, and shall reimburse the Seller for, any and all Seller's Damages (as defined
in Section 11.2(b)).



          (b)     The term "Seller's Damages" means all Damages sustained, incurred or suffered by the Seller and its officers, directors,
Affiliates and employees, resulting from or arising in connection with: (i) any misrepresentation by the Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or agreement delivered to the Seller as part of the Closing
under this Agreement;  (ii) any breach of warranty or any default in the performance of any covenant or obligation of the Buyer under or in connection with this Agreement;  (iii) any Assumed Liability; or  (iv) Buyer's default under either Salt Lake City

collect arises out of Buyer's performance or failure to perform such Assigned Contract; or  (vi) any claim or liabilities by or to a party under an Assigned Contract, including but not limited to any claims relating to the breach thereof arising after the
Closing.



          Section 11.3     Matters Involving Third Parties, Etc.  (a)  Following the Closing, if any legal proceeding shall be instituted, or any
claim or demand made, against an indemnified party or a party which proposes to assert that the provisions of this Article XI apply (the Indemnified Party") such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice of the claim to the party obliged or alleged to be so obliged so to indemnify such Indemnified Party (the "Indemnitor
").  The omission 


 

22

 



so to notify such Indemnitor, however, shall not relieve such Indemnitor from any duty to indemnify which otherwise might exist with regard to such claim unless (and only to the extent that) the omission to notify materially prejudices
the ability of the Indemnitor to assume the defense of such claim.  After any Indemnitor has received notice from an Indemnified Party that a claim has been asserted against such Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor shall promptly pay to the Indemnified
Party the amount of such Damages in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section; provided, however, that no such payment shall be due during any period in which the Indemnitor is contesting in good faith either its obligation to make such indemnification or the amount of Damages payable, or both.  After any Indemnitor
has received notice from an Indemnified Party that a claim has been asserted against it by a third party, the Indemnitor shall have the right, upon giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to participate in the defense of such claim and to elect to
assume the defense against the claim, at its own expense, through the Indemnified Party's attorney or an attorney selected by the Indemnitor and approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that it shall be a condition to such election to assume such defense that (i) the Indemnitor shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend
against the claim and to fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, and  (ii) the claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief.  If the Indemnitor fails to give prompt notice of such election, then
the Indemnitor shall be deemed to have elected not to assume the defense of such claim and the Indemnified Party may defend against the claim with its own attorney.



          (b)     If the Indemnitor so elects to participate in the defense of such claim or to assume the defense against a claim and the conditions of the
proviso of Section 11.3(a) are satisfied, then the Indemnified Party will cooperate and make available to the Indemnitor (and its representatives) all employees, information, books and records in its possession or under its control which are reasonably
necessary or useful in connection with such defense; and if the Indemnitor shall have elected to assume the defense of a claim, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to compromise and settle in good faith any such claim provided that the conditions of Section 11.3(a) are satisfied and further provided such release or settlement contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party.  If such conditions are not satisfied and such unconditional release not obtained, then the Indemnitor
will not compromise or settle such action, suit, proceeding, or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of a claim, the
Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its cost and expense and participate in such defense.



          (c)     If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume or is deemed to have elected not to assume the defense of a claim or in the event any of the
conditions in the proviso to Section 11.3(a) above becomes unsatisfied then:  (i) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct such defense; (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise and to settle, in good faith, the claim without the prior
consent of the Indemnitor;  (iii) the Indemnitor will periodically reimburse the Indemnified Party for costs (including reasonable legal fees); and  (iv)  if it is ultimately determined that the claim of loss which shall form the basis of such judgment or
settlement is one that is validly an obligation of the Indemnitor that elected not to assume the defense, then such Indemnitor shall be bound by any ultimate judgment or settlement as to the existence and the amount of the claim and the amount of said
judgment or settlement (including the 


 

23

 


costs and expenses of defending such claims) shall be conclusively deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be a liability on account of which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, subject to any limits on
the right to be so indemnified hereunder.  Upon the determination of liability under and subject to Section 11.1 or 11.2 hereof, the appropriate party shall within thirty (30) days of such determination, pay the amount of such claim.


          Section 11.4     Limits; Sole Remedy, Etc.  (a)  There shall be no payment of Buyer's Damages under this Article XI until
the aggregate amount of all such obligations shall exceed $100,000, at which time, subject to any limits on the right to be so indemnified, all such obligations in excess of $100,000 will become due and payable.  There shall be no payment of Seller's
Damages under this Article XI until the aggregate amount of all such obligations shall exceed $100,000, at which time all such obligations in excess of $100,000 will become due and payable.



          (b)     No party shall be liable to the other for any breach of representation or warranty to the extent  (i) such breach of representation or warranty
is disclosed in any Transaction Document or any exhibit or schedule thereto, (ii) a party has actual specific knowledge in fact that the other party is in breach of such representation or warranty on the Closing Date, or  (iii) a claim for any such breach
of representation or warranty is asserted after the applicable period of survival of such representation or warranty set forth in Section 13.2.



          (c)     Following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to a breach of representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall
be to seek indemnification under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.



          Section 11.5     Mitigation.  The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect
to which one Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability.  In the event that any Party shall fail to make such commercially reasonable
efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other Party shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any Damages that could reasonably be expected to have been
avoided if such party, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

or has failed to cure any deficiency (the "Default").  In the event of such termination, Teltronics shall be responsible for any and all costs, expenses, damages incurred by Harris arising out of such Default.



	VI.	At the time this Subcontract is novated, the Parties acknowledge that any and all outstanding accounts receivables that exist as of the date of the novation are the assets of
Harris (the "Outstanding Accounts Receivable").  Following the novation, any monies received by Teltronics from the Board, shall be immediately paid to Harris, until such time as Harris has been reimbursed the total value of the Outstanding Accounts
Receivables.  Teltronics shall be responsible for any and all disputes regarding which invoices the Board may claim the payments have been submitted for.


Any dispute between Teltronics and the board concerning payment of invoices shall in no way affect Teltronics' obligation to fully reimburse Harris for the value of the outstanding accounts receivable.

State of Florida or the Commercial Mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If not thus resolved and if both parties agree to binding arbitration, the dispute will be referred to arbitration.






	 	 	2)	Any resolution reached through mediation or award arising out of arbitration:

	 	 		c)	May in appropriate circumstances include injunctive relief; and

or substantially all of its property, assets or business or  (ii) upon any merger, reorganization or consolidation in which Maker is not the resulting or surviving entity or  (iii) upon any merger, reorganization, sale of stock or other similar event
pursuant to which the current owners of the stock of Maker cease to own less than fifty (50%) percent of the voting stock of Maker



          3.     Late Charges; Default Interest.  After maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of this Note or after the occurrence of an Event
of Default with respect to any payment of principal or interest due on this Note, this Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate of twelve and one-half (12.5%) percent per annum, but not in excess of the maximum rate allowed by law.



          4.     Security.  This Note is secured by and entitled to the benefit of a Security Agreement of Maker to Payee (the "Security Agreement
").  



          5.     Affirmative Covenants.  So long as this Note shall remain unpaid, Maker shall, unless waived by the advance written consent of the Payee:




               (a)  Legal Existence.  Maintain its existence in good standing in the jurisdiction of Delaware, and operate its business in the ordinary
course.

under this Note.



          11.     Payee's Waivers.  Payee shall not be deemed, by any act or omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies
hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Payee.  Such a written waiver signed by Payee shall waive Payee's rights and remedies only to the extent specifically stated in such written waiver.  A waiver as to one or more particular events of
defaults shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy as to another or subsequent event or default.

SECURITY AGREEMENT



 

          SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of June 30, 2000, (as modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, this "Agreement"), between TELTRONICS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Debtor") and HARRIS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Secured Party").  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in Article VII hereof.



 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

          WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith the Debtor has executed and delivered to Secured Party a promissory note (the "Note"); and



          WHEREAS, Debtor has agreed to provide collateral as security for the obligations of Debtor under the Note.



          NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Secured Party to accept the Note from Debtor and in consideration of the benefits accruing to the Debtor, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Debtor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Secured Party and hereby covenants and agrees with Secured Party as follows:



 

ARTICLE I
SECURITY INTERESTS



          1.1          Grant of Security Interest.  (a) As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when
due (whether by acceleration, on demand or otherwise) of all of its Obligations, the Debtor does hereby pledge, assign and transfer unto the Secured Party, and does hereby grant to the Secured Party a continuing security interest in and a right of setoff
against, all of the right, title and interest of the Debtor in, to and under all property of the Debtor including but not limited to all of the following, whether now owned by the Debtor or hereafter from time to time acquired and whether now existing or
hereafter coming into existence, and wherever located:  (i) each and every Receivable, (ii) all Contracts, together with Contract Rights arising thereunder, (iii) all Inventory, (iv) all Equipment, (v) all Marks, together with the registrations and right
to all renewals thereof, and the goodwill of the business of the Debtor symbolized by the Marks, (vi) all computer programs of the Debtor and all intellectual property rights therein and all other proprietary information of the Debtor, including, but not
limited to, trade secrets, (vii) all (a) Goods (b) General Intangibles, (c) Chattel Paper and Instruments, (d) Documents; and (viii) all Proceeds and products or substitutes or replacements of any and all of the foregoing (all of the above collectively,
the "Collateral").  The security interest granted hereunder in the portion of Collateral which represents assets acquired from Harris Corporation pursuant to the Asset Sale Agreement of even date herewith (the "Asset Sale




1




Agreement") and Proceeds thereon shall be a first priority purchase money security interest.  The security interest granted in the other assets of the Debtor shall have the priority established by filing of financing statement
and shall as a result be subordinate to any security interests granted to the senior lenders of the Debtor (including CIT Group/Credit Finance, Inc. and Finova Mezzanine Capital, Inc.).



                    (b)  The security interest of the Secured Party under this Agreement extends to all Collateral of the kind which is
the subject of this Agreement which the grantor may acquire at any time during the continuation of this Agreement.



          1.2          Additional Security.  The Debtor agrees that within ten (10) days of the date hereof it will
execute and deliver to Secured Party instruments sufficient to grant the Secured Party a security interest in the patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights of the Debtor.  Such instrument and agreement shall be in recordable
form and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party.  The Debtor agrees to record such instruments in the Patent and Trademark Office within five (5) days of a request by the Secured Party.  Debtor acknowledges that a default of its obligations
under this Section shall be a material breach entitling Secured Party to accelerate the maturity of the Note.


 

ARTICLE II
GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS



          The Debtor represents, warrants and covenants, which representations, warranties and covenants shall survive execution and delivery of this Agreement, as follows:



          2.1          No Liens.  The Debtor is, and as to Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the
date hereof the Debtor will be, the owner of all Collateral free from any Lien, security interest, encumbrance or other right, title or interest of any Person (other than Liens created hereby or Permitted Liens) and the Debtor shall defend its Collateral
against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Secured Party.



          2.2          Other Financing Statements.  So long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid, the Debtor
will not execute or authorize to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) or statements relating to the Collateral, except financing statements filed or to
be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted hereby by the Debtor or in connection with Permitted Liens.



          2.3          Chief Executive Office; Records.  The chief executive office of the Debtor is located at 2150
Whitfield Industrial Way, Sarasota, Florida  34243.  Documents evidencing all Receivables and Contract Rights of the Debtor and the books of account and records of the Debtor relating thereto are, and will continue to be, kept at the chief executive
office or at such new locations as the Debtor may establish in accordance with the next sentence.  The Debtor shall not establish a new location for its chief executive office until (i) it shall have given to the




2





Secured Party not less than 30 days' prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Secured Party may reasonably request, and (ii) with respect to
such new location, it shall have taken all action, reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, to maintain the security interest of the Secured Party in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect
 .



          2.4          Location of Inventory and Equipment.  All Inventory and Equipment held on the date hereof by the
Debtor is located at premises owned or leased by Debtor or the location of Secured Party. The Debtor agrees that (i) all Inventory and Equipment now held or subsequently acquired by it shall be kept at such location under the name of the Debtor, or such
new location as the Debtor may establish in accordance with the next sentence.  The Debtor may establish a new location for Inventory and Equipment only if (i) it shall have given to the Secured Party not less than 30 days' prior written notice of its
intention so to do, clearly describing such new location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Secured Party may reasonably request, and (ii) with respect to such new location, it shall have taken all action reasonably
satisfactory to the Secured Party to maintain the security interest of the Secured Party in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.



          2.5          Recourse.  This Agreement is made with full recourse to the Debtor and pursuant to and upon all the
warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements on the part of the Debtor contained herein, or in any of the Obligations.



          2.6          Trade Names; Change of Name.  The Debtor shall not change its legal name or assume or operate in
any jurisdiction under any trade, fictitious or other name except new names established in accordance with the following sentence.  The Debtor shall not assume or operate in any jurisdiction under any new trade, fictitious or other name until (i) it shall
have given to the Secured Party not less than 30 days' prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new name and the jurisdictions in which such new name shall be used and providing such other information in connection therewith
as the Secured Party may reasonably request, and (ii) with respect to such new name, it shall have taken all action, reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, to maintain the security interest of the Secured Party in the Collateral intended to be
granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.



          2.7          Payment and Performance.  Debtor shall pay, when due (whether at stated maturity, acceleration or
upon demand), the Obligations and shall timely perform all of its covenants, agreements and undertakings in accordance with the Obligations.



          2.8          Possession; Sale and Exchange.  (a) Subject to clause (b) of this Section, Debtor will remain in
possession of the Collateral provided that the Secured Party shall be entitled to possession of the Collateral as set forth herein.



                    (b) Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Debtor may use, sell or exchange Inventory in the ordinary course
of its business without the written consent of the Secured Party, if such sales or exchanges are in accordance with Debtor's usual and customary practices with





3




respect to terms of sale, credits, allowances and credit policies and as relating to the Inventory representing assets acquired under the Asset Sale Agreement.  The inclusion of "Proceeds of the Collateral" under the securities interest
granted herein, shall not be deemed a consent by Secured Party to any sale or other distribution expressly permitted herein.



          2.9          Preservation of Collateral.  Debtor shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
the Collateral, shall comply with all legal and insurance requirements permitted with respect to its use, and shall keep the same free from all Liens except Liens hereunder and Permitted Liens.



          2.10          No Significant Subsidiaries, Etc.  The Debtor hereby represents and warrants that it has
no "significant subsidiaries" as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and that substantially all assets of Debtor shown on its consolidated financial statement are owned directly by the Secured Party and not any
subsidiaries.


 

ARTICLE III
SPECIAL PROVISION CONCERNING
RECEIVABLES; CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS



          3.1          Maintenance of Records.  At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon
the request of the Secured Party, the Debtor shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver all tangible evidence of its Receivables and Contract Rights (including, without limitation, copies of all documents evidencing the Receivables and all Contracts and
such books and records) to the Secured Party or to its representatives (copies of which  evidence and books and records may be retained by the Debtor).



          3.2          Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties, etc.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and an acceleration of amounts and under the Note and if the Secured Party so directs the Debtor, the Debtor agrees (x) to cause all payments on account of the Receivables and Contracts to be made directly to the Secured
Party and (y) that the Secured Party may, at its option, directly notify the obligors with respect to any Receivables and/or under any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (x).

 

ARTICLE IV
PROVISIONS CONCERNING ALL COLLATERAL



          4.1          Protection of Secured Party's Security. Except as expressly permitted herein, the Debtor will do
nothing to impair the rights of the Secured Party in the Collateral.  The Debtor will at all times keep its Inventory and Equipment insured and at Secured Party's option, at the Debtor's own expense, all policies or certificates with respect to such
insurance shall be endorsed to the Secured Party's satisfaction for the benefit of the Secured Party (including, without limitation, by naming the Secured Party as loss payee) and, at the Secured Party's request, deposited with the Secured Party.  If an
Event of Default shall be in existence and the 




4




Debtor shall fail to insure its Inventory and Equipment in accordance with the preceding sentence, or if the Debtor shall fail to so endorse and deposit all policies or certificates with respect thereto, the Secured Party shall have the
right (but shall be under no obligation) to procure such insurance and the Debtor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party for all costs and expenses of procuring such insurance.  The Secured Party may apply any proceeds of such insurance in accordance with
Section 5.4 hereof.  The Debtor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of the Debtor to pay its Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such
Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the Debtor.



          4.2          Further Actions.  The Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file
and/or deliver to the Secured Party from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its Collateral, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer
endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Secured Party deems
reasonably appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral.



          4.3          Financing Statements.  The Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to the Secured Party such financing
statements (or similar statements or instruments of registration under the law of any jurisdiction), in form acceptable to the Secured Party, as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request or as are necessary or desirable in the opinion of
the Secured Party to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, first priority security interest in the Collateral as provided herein in the Collateral which represents assets acquired under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other rights and security
contemplated hereby all in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any and all relevant jurisdictions or any other relevant law.  The Debtor will pay any applicable filing fees and related expenses including any documentary or intangible
stamp taxes.  The Debtor authorizes the Secured Party to file any such financing statements without the signature of the Debtor to the extent permitted by law.



 

ARTICLE V
REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT



          5.1          Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default.  The Debtor agrees that, if any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law then in effect, the Secured Party, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law, shall have all rights
as a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions and may:




                    (a)  declare all Obligations to be due and payable, without notice, protest, presentment or demand all of which are expressly waived by
Debtor;






5




                    (b)  personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from the Debtor or any
other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon the Debtor's premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal
any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Debtor; and



                    (c)  instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting the Collateral
to make any payment required by the terms of such instrument or agreement directly to the Secured Party; and



                    (d)  sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Debtor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, any or all of
the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation; and



                    (e)  take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Debtor in writing to deliver the same
to the Secured Party at any place or places designated by the Secured Party, in which event the Debtor shall at its own expense (i) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Secured Party and there delivered to the
Secured Party, (ii)  store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Secured Party at such place or places pending further action by the Secured Party as provided in Section 5.2 hereof, and (iii)  while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept,
provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition; it being understood that the Debtor's obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement
and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Secured Party shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Debtor of said obligation.



          5.2          Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. Any Collateral repossessed by the Secured Party under or
pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Secured Party, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the
place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Secured Party may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially
reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Secured Party or after any overhaul or repair which the Secured Party shall determine to be commercially
reasonable.  Any such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days' written notice to the Debtor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made
and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the 10 days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the Debtor or any nominee of the Debtor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other
consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified.  Any such disposition which shall be a public sale permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days' written notice to the Debtor
specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, 




6




shall be by public auction (which may, at the Secured Party's option, be subject to reserve) after publication of notice of such auction not less than 10 day's prior thereto in a newspaper in general circulation.  To the extent
permitted by any such requirement of law, the Secured Party may bid for and become the purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section without accountability to the Debtor (except to the extent of surplus
money received).  If, under mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Secured Party shall be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the Debtor as hereinabove specified, the
Secured Party need give the Debtor only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of applicable law.



          5.3          Waiver of Claims.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, THE DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE SECURED PARTY'S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE SECURED PARTY'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR
ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH DEBTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and the Debtor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:



                    (a)  all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any damages which are the direct result of the
Secured Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct;



                    (b)  all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the
enforcement of the Secured Party's rights hereunder;



                    (c)  all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force
under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and the Debtor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter
lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws; and



                    (d)  demand, notice of non-payment, dishonor and notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made,
credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance heron.



                    Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to
divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the Debtor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Debtor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim
the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Debtor.



          5.4          Application of Proceeds.     The proceeds of any Collateral obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 or
disposed of pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be applied as follows:





7





                    (a)  to the payment of any and all expenses and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Secured Party in obtaining,
taking possession of, removing, insuring,


repairing, storing and disposing of  Collateral and any and all amounts incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith;



                    (b)  next, any surplus then remaining to the payment of the Obligations in the following order of priority:



                              (i)         
 all interest accrued and unpaid;

                              (ii)          the
principal amount owing on the Note;

                              (iii)          the fees
then owing to Secured Party; and
                              (iv)          all
other Obligations then owing;



                    (c)  if no Obligation is outstanding, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to Debtor, subject, however, to the
rights of the holder of any then existing Lien of which Secured Party has actual notice (without investigation); it being understood that Debtor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and
the aggregate amount of the sums referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section with respect to Debtor.



          5.5          Remedies Cumulative, etc.  Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the
Secured Party shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Agreement or any of the Obligations, or any document related thereto or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute and each and every
right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Secured Party.  All such rights, powers and remedies
shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise of any other or others.  No delay or omission of the Secured Party in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no
renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  No notice to or demand on the Debtor in any case shall entitle the Debtor
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Secured Party to any other further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.  In the event that the Secured Party shall
bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Secured Party may recover reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.  With
respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, Debtor assents to any extension or postponements of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person
primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Secured Party may deem advisable.  Secured Party shall have no duty
as to the collection of protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.

successors, assigns, employees, agents and servants (hereinafter in this Section 6.1 referred to individually as "Indemnitee," and collectively as "Indemnitees") harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments and any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) (for the purposes of this Section 6.1 the foregoing are collectively called "expenses") of whatsoever kind and nature imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the documents executed in connection herewith or in any other way connected with
the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or the enforcement of any of the terms of, or the preservation of any rights under any thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchase,
delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition, or use of the Collateral (including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the violation of the laws

agrees to use its best efforts to promptly notify the Debtor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge, however, the failure to so notify the Debtor shall not effect its obligations hereunder.

for (if the Secured Party shall have incurred fees, costs or expenses because the Debtor shall have failed to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), any and all fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with
the creation, preservation or protection of the Secured Party's Liens on, and security interest in, the Collateral, including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public
offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral
and the Secured Party's interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Collateral.



                    (c)  If and to the extent that the obligations of the Debtor under this Section 6.1 are unenforceable for any
reason, the Debtor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.
