in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, and (ii) delivering all Collateral in which Lender's security interest may be perfected by possession together with such endorsements as Lender may
request. Borrower authorizes Lender to execute and file UCC financing statements signed only by Lender, except to the extent prohibited by law. In order to protect or perfect the security interest

any service bureau, or obtain any record and add the cost thereof to the principal of the Revolving Loans. Lender shall have no duty of care with respect to the Collateral, except to exercise
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its custody, but shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if such property is accorded treatment either (i) substantially equal to
that which it accords its own property or (ii) as Borrower requests in writing, provided that no failure to comply with any such request nor any omission to do any such act requested by
Borrower shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender's failure to take steps to preserve rights against any parties or property shall not be deemed to be a failure to exercise
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its custody.
