one or more other security, pledge or similar agreements providing for a
security interest in personal property in favor of the Bank (collectively the

Office (or Major Executive Office) of Debtor (if any), and the Collateral are
respectively located at the address(es) set forth at the end of this Agreement
and Debtor will not change such location without prior written notice to and
consent of the Bank; and (c) Debtor has not created and is not aware of any
security interest, lien or encumbrance on or affecting the Collateral other than

     6.  The Debtor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with

the Collateral and proceeds and products thereof free and clear of any security
interest, liens or encumbrances of any kind, the Debtor shall promptly pay, when
due, all taxes and transportation, storage and warehousing charges and fees
affecting or arising out of the Collateral and shall defend the Collateral
against all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or

the Debtor to the Bank's satisfaction against loss by fire, theft and any other
risk to which the Collateral may be subject; all policies shall be endorsed in
favor of the Bank and, if the Bank so requests, shall be deposited with the
Bank; and in any event, such policies will provide that each insurer will give
the Bank not less than 30 days' notice in writing prior to the exercise of any
right of cancellation; in the event the Debtor fails to maintain any insurance,

premium therefor, in which event the Debtor will pay the Bank such premium with
interest; the Bank may apply any proceeds of such insurance which may be
received by it toward payment of the Obligations, whether or not due, in such

of conversion or exchange or similar rights, privileges and options relating to
the Collateral; the Bank shall have no obligation to sell or otherwise realize
upon any of the Collateral as herein authorized and shall not be responsible for
any failure to do so or for any delay in so doing; IN THE EVENT OF ANY
LITIGATION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE
OBLIGATIONS, THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT
APPLICABLE HERETO OR TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THEM IN ANY RESPECT, DEBTOR HEREBY
WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND DEBTOR WAIVES ALL DEFENSES, RIGHTS OF

     (i) to provide the Bank with such information as the Bank may from time to

places of business;

     (j) that the Bank will be notified promptly in writing of any change in any
office as set forth below;

Debtor's authority to sell, lease, otherwise transfer, manufacture, process or
assemble, or furnish under contracts of service, any or all of the Inventory.

     8.  If the Clause A and/or D box(es) in Section 3 (All Personal Property
and/or Accounts and Chattel Paper, respectively) (is) (are) checked, the
following provisions shall also be applicable.

     A.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Section 9

failure of the Debtor to perform any agreement on its part to be performed
hereunder, or by the terms of any other related agreement covering the
Obligations, or in case the Bank deems itself insecure, or it appears at any
time that any representation in any financial or other statement of the Debtor
(delivered to the Bank by or on behalf of the Debtor) is untrue or omits any
material fact, or if a material adverse change shall occur in the financial
condition of the Debtor, or if the Debtor (or any endorser, guarantor or surety
of or upon any of the Obligations) shall die or (being a partnership, limited
liability company or corporation) shall be dissolved or shall become insolvent
(however evidenced), or upon the suspension of the Debtor, or upon the issuance
of any warrant, process, or order of attachment, garnishment or lien and/or the

assignment for the benefit of creditors under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement of debt, insolvency, readjustment of debt, composition,
receivership, liquidation or dissolution law or statute of any jurisdiction,
then in any such event (each an "Event of Default"), (a) all Obligations shall
become at once due and payable, without notice, presentment, demand for payment
or protest, which are hereby expressly waived; (b) the Bank is authorized to
take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose may enter, with the aid

part of the Collateral, at any broker's board or exchange, or at public or
private sale or otherwise, at the option of the Bank, for cash or on credit for
future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such
place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Bank may deem proper,
and in connection therewith may grant options and may impose reasonable
conditions such as requiring any purchaser to represent that any stock
constituting part of the Collateral is being purchased for investment purposes
only, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot
be waived) advertisement or demand upon the Debtor or right of redemption to the
Debtor, which are hereby expressly waived; unless the Collateral is perishable
or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, the Bank will give the Debtor reasonable notice of the time
and place of any such public sale or of the time after which any private sale or
any other intended disposition thereof is to be made and Debtor agrees that five
(5) days prior notice shall be deemed reasonable notice; (f) upon each such
sale, the Bank may, unless prohibited by applicable statute which cannot be
waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and
discharged of all trusts, claims, rights of redemption and equities of the
Debtor, which are hereby waived and released; (g) the Bank shall, upon mailing
notice to the Debtor that it so elects, have from the date of such mailing the
right from time to time to

Bank at any time, before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, may,
but shall not be obligated to, transfer into or out of its own name or that of
its nominee all or any of the Collateral which is instruments, stocks, bonds,
and other securities, and the Bank or its nominee may demand, sue for, collect,
receive and hold as like Collateral any or all interest, dividends and income
thereon and if any securities are held in the name of the Bank or its nominee,
the Bank may, after the occurrence of any such events, exercise all voting and
other rights pertaining thereto as if the Bank were the absolute owner thereof;
but the Bank shall not be obligated to demand payment of, protest, or take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights in any such Collateral against prior
parties, or take any action whatsoever in regard to any such Collateral, all of
which the Debtor assumes and agrees to do.  Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Bank shall not be

obligated to take any action in connection with any conversion, call,
redemption, retirement or any other event relating to any of such Collateral,
unless the Debtor gives written notice to the Bank that such action shall be
taken not more than thirty (30) days prior to the time such action may first be
taken and not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the time during
which such action may be taken; (h) the Bank's obligations, if any, to give
additional (or to continue) financial accommodations of any kind to the Debtor

the Obligations, the Debtor shall pay all costs and expenses of every kind for
collection, sale or delivery, including reasonable attorneys fees, and after
deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale or collection, the
Bank may apply any residue to pay any of the Obligations and the Debtor will
continue to be liable to the Bank for any deficiency with interest.

     11.  The Bank may, but is not obligated to, (a) demand, sue for, collect or
receive any money or property at any time due, payable or receivable on account
of or in exchange for any obligations securing any of the Obligations; (b)
compromise and settle with any person liable on such obligation, and/or (c)
extend the time of payment of or otherwise change the terms thereof, as to any
party liable thereon; all without incurring responsibility to the undersigned or
affecting any of the Obligations.

hereof designates and appoints the Bank and its designees or agents as attorney-
in-fact of the Debtor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with
authority to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Debtor, to

of the Obligations shall remain unpaid.

     13.  All options, powers and rights granted to the Bank hereunder or under
any promissory note, instrument, document or other writing delivered to the Bank
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other options, powers or

Uniform Commercial Code of the Governing State or under any other applicable law
or otherwise.

     14.  No delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any of its options,
