that the security interest in the Collateral is granted to the Bank in
consideration of the Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower to the Bank
or the benefits to the Grantor derived therefrom.
B. DEFICIENCY. In the event that any Indebtedness is now or
hereafter secured by a deed of trust, the Grantor waives any defense
and all rights and benefits of those laws purporting to state that no
deficiency judgment may be recovered on certain real property purchase
money obligations (as presently contained in Section 580b of the
California Code of Civil Procedure and as it may be amended or
superseded in the future) and those laws purporting to state that no
deficiency judgment may be recovered after a trustee's sale under a
deed of trust (as presently contained in Section 580d of the
California Code of Civil Procedure and as it may be amended or
superseded in the future).
C. ELECTION OF REMEDIES. The Grantor waives any defense
based upon the Grantor's loss of a right against the Borrower arising
from the Bank's election of a remedy on any Indebtedness under
bankruptcy or other debtor relief laws or under any other laws,
including, but not limited to, those purporting to reduce the Bank's
rights against the Collateral in proportion to the principal
obligation of any Indebtedness (as presently contained in Section 2809
of the California Civil Code and as it may be amended or superseded in
the future).
D. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. The Grantor waives the benefit of the
statute of limitations affecting the Grantor's liability hereunder

by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower, the
Borrower's successor or any endorser, cosigner, guarantor or other
person liable on any Indebtedness. Until all Indebtedness has been
paid in full, the Grantor shall not have any right of subrogation
against the Borrower, any endorser, cosigner, guarantor or other
person liable on any Indebtedness and the Grantor waives any benefit
of and any right to participate in any other or additional collateral
securing any Indebtedness or any guaranty thereof in which the Bank
now or hereafter has or acquires a security interest. The Grantor
waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor,
notices of acceptance with respect to any Indebtedness and all notices
of sale with respect to any other or additional collateral securing
any Indebtedness or any guaranty thereof.
F. Borrower's Financial Condition. The Grantor hereby
recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that advances may be made from
time to time with respect to any Indebtedness without authorization
from or notice to the Grantor even though the financial condition of
the Borrower, any endorser, cosigner, guarantor or other person liable
on any Indebtedness may have deteriorated since the date of this
Security Agreement. The Grantor waives all right to require the Bank
to disclose any information with respect to: (i) any Indebtedness;

endorser, cosigner, guarantor or other person liable on any
Indebtedness; (iii) any other or additional collateral securing any
Indebtedness or any guaranty thereof; or (iv) any action or inaction
on the part of the Bank, the Borrower or any endorser, cosigner,
guarantor or other person liable on any Indebtedness. The Grantor
hereby assumes the responsibility for being informed of the financial
condition, credit and character of the Borrower and of all
circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of any Indebtedness
which diligent inquiry would reveal.

collections and proceeds of the Collateral so that they are capable of
identification and to deliver such collections and proceeds to the
Bank, in kind, without commingling, at such times and in such manner
as required by the Bank.

Grantor's account debtors, buyers or transferees of the Collateral or
other persons of the Bank's interest in the Collateral and the
proceeds thereof and instruct such person(s) to thereafter make any
payment due the Grantor directly to the Bank.
The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Bank as

any account for less than the amount owing thereunder, all without
notice to the Grantor or any obligor on or any guarantor of the
Indebtedness.
H. PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL. Make such
payments and do such acts as the Bank, in its sole judgment, considers
necessary and reasonable to protect its security interest in the
Collateral. The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank to
pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, lien or claim
which the Bank, in its sole judgment, deems to be prior or superior to
its security interest. Further, the Grantor hereby agrees to pay to
the Bank, upon demand therefor, all expenses and expenditures
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the foregoing.
I. FORECLOSURE. Enforce any security interest or lien given or
provided for under this Security Agreement or under any other document
relating to the Collateral, in such manner and such order, as to all
or any part of the Collateral, as the Bank, in its sole judgment,
deems to be necessary or appropriate and the Grantor hereby waives any
and all rights, obligations or defenses now or hereafter established
by law relating to the foregoing. In the enforcement of its security
interest in the Collateral, the Bank is authorized to enter upon the
premises where any Collateral is located and take possession of the
Collateral or any part thereof, together with the Grantor's records
pertaining thereto, or the Bank may require the Grantor to assemble
the Collateral and records pertaining thereto and make such Collateral
and records available to the Bank at a place designated by the Bank.
The Bank may sell the Collateral or any portions thereof, together
with all additions, accessions and accessories thereto, giving only
such notices and following only such procedures as are required by
law, at either a public or private sale, or both, with or without
having the Collateral present at the time of sale, which sale shall be
on such terms and conditions and conducted in such manner as the Bank
determines in its sole judgment to be commercially reasonable. Any
deficiency which exists after the disposition or liquidation of the
Collateral shall be a continuing liability of any obligor on or any
guarantor of the Indebtedness and shall be immediately paid to the
Bank.
The Bank may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise
of power of sale, any deed of trust securing any Indebtedness even
though such foreclosure may destroy or diminish the Grantor's rights
against the Borrower. The Borrower shall be liable to the Bank for
any part of any Indebtedness remaining unpaid after any such
foreclosure whether or not such foreclosure was for fair market value.
J. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All amounts received by the Bank as
proceeds from the disposition or liquidation of the Collateral shall
be applied as follows: first, to the costs and expenses of collection,
including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or not
suit is commenced by the Bank; next, to those costs and expenses
incurred by the Bank in protecting, preserving, enforcing, collecting,
selling or disposing of the Collateral; next, to the payment of
accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Indebtedness; next, to die
payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Indebtedness; and
last, to the payment of any other indebtedness owed by the Grantor to
the Bank. Any excess Collateral or excess proceeds existing after the
disposition or liquidation of the Collateral will be returned or paid
by the Bank to the Grantor.
K. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF REMEDIES. Exercise one or more of the
Bank's rights set forth herein or seek such other rights or pursue
such other remedies as may be provided by law, in equity or in any
other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into between the
Bank and the Grantor or any obligor on or guarantor of the
Indebtedness, or otherwise.

Borrower each waive all rights to require the Bank to: (i) proceed
against the Borrower, any endorser, cosigner, guarantor or other
person liable on any Indebtedness; (ii) proceed against the
Collateral, any particular item of the Collateral or any other or
additional collateral securing any Indebtedness or any guaranty
thereof; or (iii) pursue or refrain from pursuing any other remedy in
the Bank's power whatsoever against any Collateral or on any
Indebtedness.
10. SUBORDINATION. Any indebtedness of the Borrower or any endorser,
cosigner, guarantor or other person liable on any Indebtedness now or hereafter
owed to the Grantor is hereby subordinated to the Indebtedness. Such
indebtedness owed to the Grantor shall, if the Bank so requests, be collected,
enforced and received by the Grantor as trustee for the Bank and be paid over
to the Bank on account of the Indebtedness but without reducing or affecting in
any manner the matters contained in this Security Agreement. Should the
Grantor fail to collect the proceeds of any such indebtedness owed to it and
pay such proceeds to the Bank, the Bank, as the Grantor's attorney-in-fact, may
do such acts and sign such documents in the Grantor's name as the Bank
considers necessary to effect such collection.
11. INVALID, FRAUDULENT OR PREFERENTIAL PAYMENTS. The Grantor agrees

Indebtedness, or is credited for any payment or payments made for or on behalf
of any Indebtedness, which payment or payments, or any part thereof, is
subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside or required to be repaid to any trustee, receiver, assignee or any other
party whether under any bankruptcy, state or federal law or under any common
law or equitable cause or otherwise, then, to the extent thereof, the
obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied thereby shall be revived,
reinstated and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or
payments had not originally been made or credited.
12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
A. AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. If the Grantor
fails to pay on demand the amount of any obligations referred to in
this Security Agreement, the Bank may pay such amount at its option
and without any obligation to do so and without waiving any default
occasioned by the Grantor's failure to pay such amount. All amounts
so paid by the Bank, together with reasonable attorneys' fees and all
other costs, charges and expenses relating to the Indebtedness, shall
be a part of the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at the highest
rate chargeable on any Indebtedness until paid in full.

Agreement shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the
California Uniform Commercial Code.

presumed to have been relied upon by the Bank regardless of any
investigation made or information possessed by the Bank and shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other warranties, representations,
covenants or agreements which the Grantor shall now or hereafter give,
or cause to be given, to the Bank.
D. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any action in relation to
this Security Agreement, the Collateral or any document, instrument or
agreement secured hereby or related hereto, the prevailing party, in
addition to all other sums to which it may entitled, shall be entitled

such other address as may be specified from time to time in writing by
either party to the other.
F. WAIVER. Neither the failure nor delay by the Bank in
exercising any right hereunder or under any document, instrument or
agreement mentioned herein shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under
any other document, instrument or agreement mentioned herein preclude
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right;
nor shall any waiver of any right or default hereunder or under any
other document, instrument or agreement mentioned herein constitute a
waiver of any other right or default or constitute a waiver of any
other default of the same or any other term or provision.
G. Assignment. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Grantor and the Bank and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Grantor shall not have the
right to assign the Grantor's rights hereunder or any interest herein
without the Bank's prior written consent. The Bank may sell or assign
all or any portion of its rights and benefits hereunder and, in
connection therewith, may deliver to such prospective buyer or
assignee financial statements and other relevant information
pertaining to the Grantor or any obligor on the Indebtedness.
H. SEVERABILITY. Should any one or more provisions of this
Security Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all
other provisions shall remain effective.
I. JURISDICTION. This Security Agreement and the rights of the
parties hereunder to and concerning the Collateral, and any documents,
instruments or agreements mentioned or referred to herein, shall be
governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of
