this Agreement and the Loan Documents and of any security and collateral
therefor) to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Documents in the event that Borrower, any Guarantor and Debtor, or any other
party guarantying or securing the advances, loans and/or other financial
accommodations described therein:
a. fails to pay any obligation to Lender when due;
b. fails to perform or observe any term, condition or covenant, or any

10. RIGHTS OF LENDER ON DEFAULT. If there is a default under this Agreement
or any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to exercise one or
more of the following remedies without notice, presentment or demand (except
as required by law):
a. Acceleration - to declare Borrower's and any Guarantors' or Debtors'
obligations to Lender to be immediately due and payable in full (such
acceleration shall be automatic and immediate in the event Borrower
is in default under paragraph 9, part (e) above)
b. Collection Without Judicial Process - to collect Borrower's and any
Guarantors' or Debtors' outstanding obligations with or without
resorting to judicial process;
c. Delivery of Collateral - to require Borrower and any Debtors to
deliver and make available to Lender any Collateral at a place
reasonably convenient to Lender and those entities;
d. Take Possession - to take possession, management and control of the
Collateral without seeking the appointment of a receiver;
e. Collection of Proceeds - to collect all rents, issues, income,
profits and proceeds from the Collateral until Borrower's and any
Guarantors' and Debtors' obligations to Lender are satisfied in full;
f. Appointment of Receiver - to apply for and obtain, without notice and
upon ex parte application, the appointment of a receiver for the
Collateral without regard to Borrower's or any Guarantors' and
Debtors' financial condition or solvency, the adequacy of the
Collateral to secure the payment or performance of the obligations of
those entities to Lender, or the existence of any waste to the
Collateral;
g. Foreclosure - to foreclose any deed of trust, mortgage, lien,
security interest or other encumbrance on the Collateral;
h. Setoff - to setoff Borrower's and any Guarantors' and Debtors'
obligations to Lender against any amounts due to those entities
including, but not limited to, the Borrower's and Guarantors' and
Debtors' monies, instruments, and deposit accounts maintained with
Lender;
i. Additional Collateral - require Borrower or Guarantor or any Debtor
to pledge additional collateral to the Lender from the Borrower's or
Guarantor's or any Debtor's assets, the acceptability and sufficiency
of such collateral to be determined in the Lender's sole discretion;
and
j. Lender's Contractual Rights - to exercise all other rights available
to Lender under the Loan Documents, any other written agreement, or
applicable law.
Lender's rights and remedies are cumulative and may be exercised
together, separately, and in any order. In the event that Lender
institutes an action seeking recovery of any of the Collateral by way
of a prejudgment remedy in an action against Borrower or Debtors,
Borrower hereby waives and shall cause Debtors to waive the posting
of any bond which might otherwise be required.
11. BORROWING CERTIFICATE. [ ] If checked, every request for an advance
made by Borrower shall be made by mailing or telecopying to Lender a
completed Borrowing Certificate (each a "Borrowing Certificate") in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A. In addition to the Borrowing Certificate,
Borrower shall submit to Lender such other documents and certifications as
may from time to time be required together with such other information as
Lender may request. Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower to make advances
upon the receipt of a Borrowing Certificate executed by an individual
purporting to be an officer of Borrower, unless the Lender has actual
knowledge that the individual executing such Borrowing Certificate is not so
authorized.
12. HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION. Lender shall not be responsible for
the performance of any of Borrower's or any Debtors' obligations with respect
to the Collateral under any circumstances.
Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless, and shall cause any
Guarantors and Debtors to indemnify and hold Lender harmless, from all
claims, damages, liabilities (including attorneys' fees and legal expenses),
causes of action, actions, suits and other legal proceedings (cumulatively,
"Claims") in any matter relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
Loan Documents or any act, event or transaction related or attendent thereto
or pertaining to their respective businesses or the Collateral (including,
but not limited to, those Claims involving Hazardous Materials). Borrower
shall immediately provide and cause any Guarantors and Debtors to immediately
provide Lender with written notice of any such Claim. Borrower, upon the
request of Lender, shall defend or cause such Guarantors and Debtors to
defend Lender from such Claims, and pay the attorneys' fees, legal expenses
and other costs incurred in connection therewith. In the alternative, Lender
shall be entitled to employ its own legal counsel to defend such Claims at
Borrower's and/or such Guarantors' and Debtors' cost.
13. REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENSES. Upon demand, Borrower shall immediately
reimburse or cause any Guarantors and Debtors to immediately reimburse Lender
for all amounts (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses)
expended by Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the: (i)
negotiation, preparation, amendment, extension, modification, replacement or
substitution of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, (ii) attachment,
creation, filing, perfection, and recording of Lender's liens, security
interests, and other encumbrances in the Collateral or any UCC and other
searches and title or insurance policies in connection therewith, (iii)
defense of the validity and priority of Lender's liens, security interests
and other encumbrances against the Collateral, and (iv) enforcement or
defense of any obligation or the exercise of any right or remedy described in
this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and (v) refinancing or restructuring of
the advances, loans and/or financial accommodations provided under this
Agreement in the nature of a "work out" or in any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings. These sums shall bear interest at the lower of the highest rate
described in any of the Loan Documents or the highest rate allowed by law
from the date of payment until the date of reimbursement and be secured by
the Collateral.
14. APPLICATION OF MONIES. All payments to Lender made by or on behalf of
Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors or monies received by Lender from the
Collateral or otherwise may be applied against any amounts paid by Lender in
connection with the exercise of its rights or remedies described in this
Agreement and the Loan Documents (including attorneys' fees and legal
expenses together with interest at the rate described in the foregoing
paragraph) and then to the payment of the remaining obligations under this
Agreement and the Loan Documents in whatever order Lender chooses.
15. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower hereby appoints and shall cause any
Guarantors and Debtors, jointly and severally, to appoint Lender as their
attorney-in-fact to endorse their names on all instruments and other
documents payable to those entities. In addition, Lender shall be entitled,
but not required, to perform any action or execute any document required to
be taken or executed by Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors under this
Agreement or the Loan Documents. Lender's performance of such action or
execution of such documents shall not relieve Borrower or any Guarantors and
Debtors from any obligation to cure any default under this Agreement and the
Loan Documents. The powers of attorney described in this paragraph are
coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.
16. ESSENCE OF TIME. Borrower and Lender agree that time is of the essence
with respect to this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
17. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. The modification or waiver of any Borrower's or
any Guarantors' and Debtors' obligations or Lender's rights under this
Agreement or the Loan Documents must be contained in a writing signed by
Lender. Lender may perform any of Borrower's or any Guarantors' and Debtors'
obligations or delay or fail to exercise any of its rights without causing a
waiver of those obligations or rights. A waiver on one occasion shall not
constitute a waiver on any other occasion. Borrower's and any Guarantors'
and Debtors' obligations to Lender under this Agreement and the Loan
Documents shall not be affected if Lender amends, compromises, exchanges,
fails to exercise, impairs or releases any of the obligations belonging to
any co-borrower, Guarantor or obligor or any of its rights against any
co-borrower, Guarantor, obligor or Collateral.
18. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender and their
respective successors, assigns, trustees, receivers, administrators, personal
representatives, legatees and devisees.
19. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS. Borrower and any Guarantors and Debtors
shall not be entitled to assign any of their rights, remedies or obligations
described in this Agreement or the Loan Documents without the prior written
consent of Lender which may be withheld by Lender in its sole discretion.
Lender shall be entitled to grant participations in or assign some or all of
its rights and remedies described in this Agreement and the Loan Documents
without notice to or the prior consent of Borrower or any Guarantors and
Debtors in any manner.
20. NOTICES. Any notice or other communication to be provided under this
Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be in writing and sent to the parties
at the addresses described in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or such
other address as the parties may designate in writing from time to
time.
21. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents
is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue to be valid, legal and
enforceable in all respects.
22. CHOICE OF LAW AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE. This Agreement and
the Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of the state indicated in
the Lender's address (unless specified otherwise in such documents).
Borrower hereby consents and shall cause any Guarantors and Debtors to
consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any court located in the state
indicated in the Lender's address in the event of any legal proceeding with
respect to the negotiation, execution, or delivery of this Agreement or the
Loan Documents, the enforcement of any obligation, right or remedy
thereunder, or the assertion of any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim in
connection therewith.
23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LENDER AND BORROWER KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT
TO ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN, THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER
AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE
OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER
MAKING THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THE PROMISSORY NOTE.
24. MISCELLANEOUS. All references to Borrower shall refer to all of the
parties signing below. Borrower's obligations to Lender, if there be more
than one Borrower signing below, shall be joint and several. This Agreement,
the Loan Documents and other documents delivered in connection therewith
represent the entire complete and integrated understanding between Borrower,
any Guarantors or Debtors, and Lender pertaining to the terms and conditions
of those documents and the advances, loans and/or other financial
accommodations described therein and supersedes all prior agreements and
commitments, written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
