(i) require Debtor to, and Debtor hereby agrees that it will, at its
expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part
of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to
Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is
reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice or demand or
legal process, enter upon any premises of Debtor and take possession of the
Collateral; (iii) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private

shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to Debtor of the time
and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to

Secured Party. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party
may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at
the time and place fixed therefore, and such sale may, without further

extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now
existing or hereafter enacted.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Secured
Party shall have the right to enter upon the premises of Debtor where the
Collateral is located (or is believed to be located) without any obligation
to pay rent to Debtor, or any other place or places where the Collateral is
believed to be located and kept, to render the Collateral useable or
saleable, to remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of Secured
Party or any agent of Secured Party for such time as Secured Party may
desire in order to effectively collect or liquidate the Collateral, and/or
to require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to
Secured Party at a place or places to be designated by Secured Party. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Secured Party shall have

information contained therein in any manner Secured Party deems
appropriate; and Secured Party shall have the right to notify postal

address designated by Secured Party and to receive, open and dispose of all
mail addressed to Debtor.

the safe custody thereof, Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to any
Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of any
agent or bailee) or with respect to any income thereon or the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Secured
Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. Secured
Party shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the
Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or
omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other
agent or bailee selected by Secured Party in good faith.
12. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon,
all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to all fees, costs
and expenses incurred by Secured Party with respect to the Collateral; and
second, to the Secured Obligations. Secured Party shall pay over to Debtor any
surplus and Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
13. Expenses. Debtor agrees to pay all insurance expenses and all expenses
of protecting, storing, warehousing, appraising, insuring, handling, maintaining
and shipping the Collateral, all costs, fees and expenses of perfecting and
maintaining the Security Interests, and any and all excise, property, sales and
use taxes imposed by any state, federal or local authority on any of the
Collateral, or with respect to periodic appraisals and inspections of the
Collateral, or with respect to the sale or other disposition thereof. If Debtor
fails promptly to pay any portion of the above expenses when due or to perform
any other obligation of Debtor under this Agreement, Secured Party may, at its
option, but shall not be required to, pay or perform the same, and Debtor agrees
to reimburse Secured Party therefore on demand. All sums so paid or incurred by
Secured Party for any of the foregoing, any and all other sums for which Debtor
may become liable hereunder and all costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees, legal expenses and court costs) incurred by Secured Party in enforcing or
protecting the Security Interests or any of their rights or remedies under this
Agreement shall be payable on demand, shall constitute Secured Obligations,

secured by the Collateral.

in full of all Secured Obligations, the Security Interests shall terminate and
all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Debtor. Upon such termination of
the Security Interests or release of any Collateral, Secured Party will, at the
