upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take
any action and to execute any instrument with respect to the Collateral which
Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to fulfill Debtor's Obligations
hereunder.  This appointment is irrevocable and continuing and is

that Secured Party may lawfully do by virtue of this Power of Attorney.

to this Security Agreement, the Note or otherwise, shall be cumulative and
non-exclusive, and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

    7.   SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any provision of this Security
Agreement is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of any law,
including, but not limited to, the interpretation placed thereon by any court or
any other governmental body, this Security Agreement shall be construed as not
containing such provision and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect
the validity of any other provisions hereof, and any and all other provisions
hereof which otherwise are lawful and valid shall remain in full force and
effect.

its rights hereunder and in the Collateral to any holder of the Note.  This
