possession or control of Debtor for such purposes.
5.8 Benefit of Lender. All rights, powers and remedies granted Lender

reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be added to the Obligation, shall be secured
by the Security Interest, shall bear interest at the highest rate payable on any
of the Obligation until paid, and shall be due and payable by Debtor to Lender
immediately without demand.
6. ACTIONS REGARDING COLLATERAL; POWER OF ATTORNEY
6.1 Securities and Deposits. Lender may at any time, after the occurrence
of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any
securities constituting Collateral, and if Lender receives any income thereon
-4-
either hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations.
After the occurrence of an Event of Default, whether or not any Obligations are
due, Lender may demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise
which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the
adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits
or other sums at any time credited by or due from Lender to Debtor may at any
time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligation.
6.2 Notify Obligors. Lender, without notice to Debtor, may notify any or
all of the Obligors of the existence of the Security Interest and may direct the
Obligors to make all payments on the Collateral to Lender, after the occurrence
of an Event of Default. Until Lender has notified the Obligors to remit payments
directly to it, Debtor, at Debtor's own cost and expense, shall collect or cause
to be collected the accounts and monies due under the accounts, documents,
instruments and general intangibles or pursuant to the terms of the chattel
paper. Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any embezzlement,
conversion, negligence or default by Debtor or Debtor's agents with respect to
such collections; all agents used in such collections shall be agents of Debtor
and not agents of Lender. Unless Lender notifies Debtor in writing that it
waives one or more of the requirements set forth in this sentence, any payments
or other proceeds of Collateral received by Debtor, before or after notification
to Obligors, shall be held by Debtor in trust for Lender in the same form in
which received, shall not be commingled with any assets of Debtor and shall be
turned over to Lender not later than the next business day following the day of
receipt. All payments and other proceeds of Collateral received by Lender
directly or from Debtor shall be applied to the Obligation in such order and
manner and at such time as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine. In
addition, Debtor shall promptly notify Lender of the return to or possession by
Debtor of goods underlying any Collateral; Debtor shall hold the same in trust
for Lender and shall dispose of the same as Lender directs.
6.3 Enforce Collateral. Lender, after the occurrence of an Event of Default
and the expiration of any applicable cure periods and subject to any prior
notice required to be given by Lender, without notice to Debtor, may (i) demand,
collect and sue on the Collateral (either in Debtor's or Lender's name),
enforce, compromise, settle or discharge the Collateral and endorse Debtor's
name on any instruments, documents, or chattel paper included in or pertaining
to the Collateral, and (ii) as Debtor's agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the
United Sates Postal Service to change the address for delivery of Debtor's mail
to any address designated by Lender, otherwise intercept Debtor's mail, and
receive, open and dispose of Debtor's mail, applying all Collateral as permitted
herein or in the Loan Documents, and holding all other mail for Debtor's account
or forwarding such mail to Debtor's last known address.
6.4 License. Without limiting any other provision hereof or of any other
document, Debtor hereby grants to Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and
royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all actual or prospective
rights of Debtor arising in connection with any intellectual property or other
proprietary rights, including all rights arising in connection with copyrights,
patents, service marks, trade dress, trade secrets, trademarks, trade names or
mask works, for the following purposes after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default: (a) completing the manufacture of any
in-process materials so that such materials become saleable inventory, and (b)
selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral.
-5-
6.5 Duty of Care. Lender shall use such reasonable care in handling,
preserving and protecting the Collateral in its possession as it uses in
handling similar property for its own account. Lender, however, shall have no
liability for the loss, destruction or disappearance of any Collateral unless
there is affirmative proof of a lack of due care; the lack of due care shall not
be implied solely by virtue of any loss, destruction or disappearance.
6.6 Responsibility of Debtor. Debtor shall be solely responsible for taking
any and all actions to preserve rights against all Obligors; Lender shall not be
obligated to take any such actions whether or not the Collateral is in Lender's
possession. Debtor waives presentment and protest with respect to any instrument
included in the Collateral on which Debtor is in any way liable and waives
notice of any action taken by Lender with respect to any instrument, document or
chattel paper included in any Collateral that is in the possession of Lender.
Provided, however, the foregoing is subject to any rights of Debtor to receive
notices of default and any cure periods afforded to Debtor under the applicable
loan documents.
6.7 Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in
the place and stead of Debtor or in Lender's own name, for the purpose of
carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action
and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on
behalf of Debtor, without notice to or assent by Debtor, to do the following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, and the expiration of any applicable cure periods and subject to any
prior notice required to be given by Lender, generally to sell, transfer,
pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code and as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and to do at Debtor's expense, at any time, or
from time to time, all acts and things which Lender deems necessary to protect,
preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender's security interest therein,
in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
Debtor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting
of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal or local
agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable
inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice to Debtor, the exercise of
voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised,
if Lender so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation in a commercially
reasonable manner of assets of the issuer of any such securities and (iii) the
execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other
disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other
instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral;
(b) to the extent that Debtor's authorization given in Section 3 is
not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or
without Debtor's signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for
a financing statement, as Lender may deem appropriate and to execute in Debtor's
name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation
statements which may require Debtor's signature; and
-6-
(c) to file any financing statement terminations or partial releases
that any third party has authorized Debtor to file; and
(d) upon an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure
periods and subject to any prior notice required to be given by Lender, to
direct a change of address with the United States Post Office or otherwise
re-direct mail addressed to Borrower, including directing it to Lender.
Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are
solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for the
amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and
neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act, except for Lender's own
gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
7.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any "Event of Default" under the
Loan Agreement shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder.
7.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time
while such Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall have the following
rights and remedies and may do one or more of the following:
(a) Declare all or any part of the Obligation to be immediately due
and payable, and the same, with all costs and charges, shall be collectible
thereupon by action at law.
(b) Without further notice or demand and without legal process, take
possession of the Collateral wherever found and, for this purpose, enter upon
any property occupied by or in the control of Debtor. Debtor, upon demand by
Lender, shall assemble the Collateral and deliver it to Lender or to a place
designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties.
(c) Operate the business of Debtor as a going concern, including,
without limitation, extending sales or services to new customers and advancing
funds for such operation. Lender shall not be liable for any depreciation, loss,
damage or injury to the Collateral or other property of Debtor as a result of
such action. Debtor hereby waives any claim of trespass or replevin arising as a
result of such action.
(d) Pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to collect the
Obligation, to enforce its title in and right to possession of the Collateral
and to enforce any and all other rights or remedies available to it.
(e) Upon obtaining possession of the Collateral or any part thereof,
after notice to Debtor as provided in Paragraph 7.4 herein, sell such Collateral
at public or private sale either with or without having such Collateral at the
place of sale. The proceeds of such sale, after deducting therefrom all expenses
of Lender in taking, storing, repairing and selling the Collateral (including
-7-
reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied to the payment of the Obligation,
and any surplus thereafter remaining shall be paid to Debtor or any other person
that may be legally entitled thereto. In the event of a deficiency between such
net proceeds from the sale of the Collateral and the total amount of the
Obligation, Debtor, upon demand, shall promptly pay the amount of such
deficiency to Lender.
7.3 Right to Purchase. Lender, so far as may be lawful, may purchase all or
any part of the Collateral offered at any public or private sale made in the
enforcement of Lender's rights and remedies hereunder.
7.4 Sufficient Notice. Any demand or notice of sale, disposition or other
intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the
Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be deemed to be commercially
reasonable and effective if such demand or notice is given to Debtor at least
five (5) business days prior to such sale, disposition or other intended action,
in the manner provided herein for the giving of notices.
7.5 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law
imposes duties on Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable
manner, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable
for Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Lender
to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or
work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition,
(b) to fail to obtain third-party consents for access to Collateral to be
disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain
governmental or third-party consents for the collection or disposition of
Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection
remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to
remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated
on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the
same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any
portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to
assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a
specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites
that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral
or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure Lender against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to Lender a guaranteed return from the
collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate
by Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers,
consultants and other professionals to assist Lender in the collection or
disposition of any of the Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of
this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or
omissions by Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in Lender's exercise
of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Lender
shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being
indicated in this section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing
contained in this section shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to
impose any duties on Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this
Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.
-8-
7.6 Costs and Expenses. Debtor shall pay all costs and expenses, including
without limitation costs of Uniform Commercial Code searches, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in enforcing payment and
performance of the Obligation or in exercising the rights and remedies of Lender
hereunder. All such costs and expenses shall be secured by this Agreement and by
all deeds of trust and other lien and security documents securing the
Obligation. In the event of any court proceedings, court costs and attorneys'
fees shall be set by the court and not by jury and shall be included in any
judgment obtained by Lender.
7.7 Additional Remedies. In addition to any remedies provided herein for an
Event of Default, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies afforded a
Lender under the Uniform Commercial Code and all other legal and equitable
remedies allowed under the Loan Documents and applicable law. No failure on the
part of Lender to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising upon any Event of
Default shall be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any
other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay on the part of Lender in
exercising any such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise
thereof at any time while that Event of Default is continuing. Lender may
enforce any one or more rights or remedies hereunder successively or
concurrently. By accepting payment or performance of any of the Obligation after
its due date, Lender shall not thereby waive the agreement contained herein that
time is of the essence, nor shall Lender waive either its right to require
prompt payment or performance when due of the remainder of the Obligation or its
right to consider the failure to so pay or perform an Event of Default.
8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
8.1 No Waiver. The acceptance of this Agreement by Lender shall not be
considered a waiver of or in any way to affect or impair any other security that
Lender may have, acquire simultaneously herewith, or hereafter acquire for the
payment or performance of the Obligation, nor shall the taking by Lender at any
time of any such additional security be construed as a waiver of or in any way
to affect or impair the Security Interest; Lender may resort, for the payment or
performance of the Obligation, to its several securities therefor in such order
and manner as it may determine.
8.2 Actions by Lender. Without notice or demand, without affecting the
obligations of Debtor hereunder or the personal liability of any person for
payment or performance of the Obligation, and without affecting the Security
Interest or the priority thereof, Lender, from time to time, may: (i) extend the
time for payment of all or any part of the Obligation, accept a renewal note
therefor, reduce the payments thereon, release any person liable for all or any
part thereof, or otherwise change the terms of all or any part of the
Obligation; (ii) take and hold other security for the payment or performance of
the Obligation and enforce, exchange, substitute, subordinate, waive or release
any such security; (iii) join in any extension or subordination agreement; or
(iv) release any part of the Collateral from the Security Interest.
-9-
8.3 Waivers. Debtor waives and agrees not to assert: (i) any right to
require Lender to proceed against any guarantor, to proceed against or exhaust
any other security for the Obligation, to pursue any other remedy available to
Lender, or to pursue any remedy in any particular order or manner; (ii) the
benefits of any statute of limitations affecting the enforcement hereof; (iii)
the benefits of any legal or equitable doctrine or principle of marshalling;
(iv) demand, diligence, presentment for payment, protest and demand, and notice
of extension, dishonor, protest, demand and nonpayment, relating to the
Obligation; and (v) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any other
security now or hereafter held by Lender.
8.4 Governing Law. The terms herein shall have the meanings in and be
construed under the Uniform Commercial Code. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed according to the laws of the State of Arizona. Each provision of
this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be void
or invalid, the same shall not affect the remainder hereof which shall be
effective as though the void or invalid provision had not been contained herein.
8.5 Modifications. No modification, rescission, waiver, release or
amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be made except by a written
agreement executed by Debtor and a duly authorized officer of Lender.
8.6 Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing Agreement that shall remain
in full force and effect until actual receipt by Lender of written notice of its
revocation as to future transactions and shall remain in full force and effect
thereafter until all of the Obligation incurred before the receipt of such
notice, and all of the Obligation incurred thereafter under commitments extended
by Lender before the receipt of such notice, shall have been paid and performed
in full.
8.7 No Effect on Obligation. No setoff or claim that Debtor now has or may
in the future have against Lender shall relieve Debtor from paying or performing
the Obligation.
8.8 Time of Essence, etc. Time is of the essence hereof. If more than one
Debtor is named herein, the word "Debtor" shall mean all and any one or more of
them, severally and collectively. All liability hereunder shall be joint and
several. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit
of, the parties hereto and their heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns. The term "Lender" shall include not only the original Lender hereunder
but also any future owner and holder, including pledgees, of note or notes
evidencing the Obligation. The provisions hereof shall apply to the parties
according to the context thereof and without regard to the number or gender of
words or expressions used.
8.9 Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall
be in writing and may be given in person or by United States mail, by commercial
delivery service or by electronic transmission with verified receipt. Any notice

parties.
