of any stay, extension, valuation, appraisement or redemption law now or at
any time hereafter in force.
6. AVAILABILITY OF REMEDIES. Every right and remedy provided in this Mortgage
will be cumulative of every other right or remedy of Mortgagee whether
herein or by law conferred and may be enforced concurrently therewith and
no acceptance of the performance of any obligation as to which Mortgagor
will be in default, or waiver of particular or single performance of any
obligation or observance of any covenant, will be construed as a waiver of
the obligation or covenant or as a waiver of any other default then,
theretofore or thereafter existing. Mortgagee's acceptance of less than the
entire payment of principal due or receipt of interest computed at a rate
less than the maximum permitted to be charged under the terms of any
Obligation or Indebtedness will not constitute a waiver of Mortgagee's
rights hereunder to thereafter require payment of the full amount of

or without consideration, release portions of the Mortgaged Property from
the lien hereof. No such act or acts of Mortgagee will affect the personal
liability of any other Obligor for payment of the Indebtedness or the lien
of this Mortgage upon the remainder of the Mortgaged Property for the full
amount of the Indebtedness. Assumption of liability for the payment of the
Indebtedness by any other party will not release Mortgagor from liability
for the of secured Indebtedness, and the consent. Mortgagee to any such
assumption or to any sale, lease, conveyance or transfer of the Mortgaged
Property will not be so construed as a release of any Obligor. No delay or
omission of Mortgagee to exercise any right, power or remedy accuring upon
any default will exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or will
be construed to be a waiver of any such default, or acquiescence therein;
and every right power and remedy given by this Mortgage may be exercised
from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee

the same as security herefore, or apply it on the principal or interest which
has become due on any Obligation, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and, in
the case of voting shares or interests pledged, to vote the same when BANK ONE
deems the exercise of such power necessary to maintain or protect such
Collateral.
15. When any Obligation becomes due, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
and at any time thereafter, BANK ONE may, at its option, demand, sue for,
collect, or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable with reference
to the Collateral. BANK ONE shall not be bound to take any steps necessary to
preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, inasmuch as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
agrees to assume such responsibility. BANK ONE shall have no duty with respect
to collection or protection of the Collateral or of any income on the Collateral

shall have the right, without notice to Obligor, any party claiming under
Obligor, or any other party, such notice being hereby expressly waived, and
without regard to the adequacy of value of the Collateral or the solvency or
insolvency of Obligor, to the appointment of a receiver by a court of competent
jurisdiction chosen solely by BANK ONE, upon application at any time, whether
prior to or aver a judgment has been obtained against Obligor, to take
possession of the assets and/or business of Obligor together with its books and
records, to maintain or to liquidate said assets and/or business, to collect the
proceeds of the Collateral and apply the net proceeds to any Obligation. Obligor
consents to jurisdiction and venue for the appointment of such receiver by such
court and agrees that any receiver so appointed may take possession of the
assets and/or business of the Obligor, together with the Collateral in any other
jurisdiction in which the Collateral may be located.
19. Obligor authorizes BANK ONE to exchange BANK ONE deposit, credit and
borrowing information about Obligor with third parties.
20. Obligor jointly and severally hereby authorizes any attorney at law to
appear in an ACTION ON THIS NOTE AT ANY TIME AFTER THE SAME BECOMES due, whether

or of elsewhere, and to waive the issuing and service of process against any or
all of said parties, enter an appearance and to confess judgment in favor of
