existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida.
AUTHORIZATION: The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement
by Grantor have been duly authorized by all necessary action by Grantor and
do not conflict with, result in a violation of , or constitute a default
under (a) any provision of its articles of incorporation or organization,

any law, governmental regulation, court decree, or order applicable to
Grantor.
PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Grantor agrees to execute such financing
statements and to take whatever other actions are requested by Lender to
perfect and continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Upon
request of Lender, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the
documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will note
Lender's interest upon any and all chattel paper if not delivered to Lender
for possession by Lender. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as its
irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents
necessary to perfect or to continue the security interest granted in this
Agreement. Lender may at any time, and
WSB Western Exhibit 10.12
Security
Bank
without further authorization from Grantor, file a carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of any financing statement or of this Agreement for use
as a financing statement. Grantor will reimburse Lender for all expenses
for the perfection and the continuation of the perfection of Lender's
security interest in the Collateral. Grantor promptly will notify Lender
before any change in Grantor's name including any change to the assumed
business names of Grantor.
NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not
violate any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a
party, and its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do not
prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement.
ENFORCEABILITY OF COLLATERAL. To the extent the Collateral consists of
accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, the Collateral is
enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and complies with
applicable laws concerning form, content and manner of preparation and
execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have
authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear
to be on the Collateral.
LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver
to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and
collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations, including without
limitation the following: (a) all real property owned or being purchased
by Grantor; (b) all real property being rented or leased by Grantor; (c)
all storage facilities owned, rented, leased, or being used by Grantor; and
(d) all other properties where Collateral is or may be located. Except in
the ordinary course of its business, Grantor shall not remove the
Collateral from its existing locations without the prior written consent of
Lender.
REMOVAL OF COLLATERAL. Grantor shall keep the Collateral (or to the extent
the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts, the
records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address shown above, or at
such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Except in the ordinary
course of its business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not
remove the Collateral from its existing locations without the prior written
consent of Lender. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles,
or other titled property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which
would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles

Lender.
TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING COLLATERAL. Except for inventory sold or accounts
collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor shall not
sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral.
While Grantor is not in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell
inventory, but only in the ordinary course of its business and only to
buyers who qualify as a buyer in the ordinary course of business. A sale
in the ordinary course of Grantor's business does not include a transfer in
partial or total satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall
not pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be
subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than
the security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if junior
in right to the security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless
waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for
whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and shall not be
commingled with any other funds; provided however, this requirement shall
not constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition. Upon
receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender.
TITLE. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that it holds good and
marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing statement
covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than
those which reflect the security interest created by this Agreement or to
which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor shall defend Lender's
rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other
persons.
COLLATERAL SCHEDULES AND LOCATIONS. Insofar as the Collateral consists of
inventory, Grantor shall deliver to Lender, as often as Lender shall
require, such lists, descriptions, and designations of such Collateral as
Lender may require to identify the nature, extent, and location of such
Collateral. Such information shall be submitted for Grantor and each of
its subsidiaries or related companies.
WSB Western Exhibit 10.12
Security
Bank
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL. Grantor shall maintain all
tangible collateral in good condition and repair. Grantor will not commit
or permit damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part of the
Collateral. Lender and its designated representative and agents shall have
the right at all reasonable times to examine, inspect, and audit the
Collateral wherever located. Grantor shall immediately notify Lender of
all cases involving the return, rejection, repossession, loss or damage of
or to any Collateral; of any request for credit or adjustment or of any
other dispute arising with respect to the Collateral; and generally of all
happenings and events affecting the Collateral or the value or the amount
of the Collateral.
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND LIENS. Grantor will pay when due all taxes,
assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this
Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the indebtedness,
or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such
payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith
conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and
so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in
Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is subjected to a lien which is
not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with Lender
cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to
Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the discharge of the lien plus
any interest, costs, attorneys' fees or other charges that could accrue as
a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any contest Grantor
shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment
before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall name Lender as a
additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest
proceedings.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Grantor shall comply promptly
with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership,
production, disposition, or use of the Collateral. Grantor may content in
good faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance
during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's
interest in the Collateral, in Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral
never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien
on the Collateral, used for the generation, manufacture, storage,
transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any
hazardous waste or substance, as those terms are defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of
1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq. ("CERCLA"), the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-499 ("▇▇▇▇"),
the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et
seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 applicable state or
Federal laws, rules, or regulations adopted pursuant to any of the
foregoing. The terms "hazardous waste" and "hazardous substance" shall
also include, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum by-products or
any fraction thereof and asbestos. The representations and warranties
contained herein are based on Grantor's due diligence in investigating the
Collateral for hazardous wastes and substances. Grantor hereby (a)
releases and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or
contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs
under any such laws, and (b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender
against any and all claims and losses resulting from a breach of this
provision of this Agreement. This obligation to indemnify shall survive
the payment of the indebtedness and the satisfaction of this Agreement.
MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain all
risks insurance, including without limitation fir, theft and liability
coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with
respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably
acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably
acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to
Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form
satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be
canceled or diminished without at least ten (10) days' prior written notice
to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for
failure to give such a notice. Each insurance policy also shall include an
endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired
in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person.
In connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or
is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide Lender with such loss
payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. If Grantor at any
time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this
Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance
as Lender deems appropriate, including if it so chooses "single interest
insurance", which will cover only Lender's interest in the Collateral.
WSB Western Exhibit 10.12
Security
Bank
APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of
any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if
Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All
proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds
thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender
consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral,
Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse
Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or
restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the
Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay
all of the indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any
proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their
receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of
the Collateral shall be used to prepay the indebtedness.
INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created
by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to be
sufficient to produce, as least fifteen (15) days before the premium due
date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If
fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are
insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The
reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall
constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by
payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance
premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the
payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.
INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to
Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such
information as Lender may reasonably request including the following: (a)
the name of the insurer; (b) the risks insured; (c) the amount of the
policy; (d) the property insured; (e) the then current value on the basis
of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that
value; and (f) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor
shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than annually) have an
independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, the
cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION. Until default, Grantor may have possession of
the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may
use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related
Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall
not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is
required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral. If
Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an
Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for
that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion,
shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request
by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise
reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to
preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties nor to protect,
preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness.
EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but
shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be
discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without limitation
all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, at any
time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but shall not be
obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the
Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes
will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date
incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such
expenses shall be come a part of the indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will
(a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be
apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the
remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will
be due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Agreement also will secure
payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights
and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. Failure of Grantor to make any payment when due
on the Indebtedness.
WSB Western Exhibit 10.12
Security
Bank
OTHER DEFAULTS. Failure of Grantor to comply with or to perform any other
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this agreement or in
any of the Related Documents or in any other agreement between Lender and
Grantor.
FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor under this Agreement, the
Note or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
respect, either now or at the time made or furnished.
DETECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Agreement or any of the Related
Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any
collateral documents to create a valid and perfected security interest or
lien) at any time and for any reason.
INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor.
CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any
governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collateral securing
the indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's deposit
accounts with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or
reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount
determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve
or bond for the
[THE REST OF THIS WAS CUT OFF AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE]
EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or such Guarantor dies
or becomes incompetent. Lender, at is option, may, but shall not be
required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the
obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender,
and, in doing so, cure the Event of Default.
ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
indebtedness is impaired.
INSECURITY. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure.
RIGHT TO CURE. If any default, other than a Default on indebtedness, is
curable and if Grantor has not been given a prior notice of a breach of the
same provision of this Agreement, it may be cured (and no Event of Default
will have occurred) if Grantor, after Lender sends written notice demanding
cure of such default, (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or
(b), if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately
initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be
sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonable practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the California Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender may declare the entire indebtedness,
including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay,
immediately due and payable, without notice.
WSB Western Exhibit 10.12
Security
Bank
ASSEMBLE COLLATERAL. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all
or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and
other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be
designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the
property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If
the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the
time of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods,
provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor
after repossession.
SELL THE COLLATERAL. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease,
transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its
own name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public
auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline
speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market,
Lender will give Grantor reasonable notice of the time after which any
private sale or any other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be
made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is
given at least ten (10) days, or such lesser time as required by state law,
before the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the
disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of
retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral,
shall become a part of the indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall
be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of
expenditure until repaid.
APPOINT RECEIVER. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall
have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment of a
receiver: (a) Lender may have a receiver appointed as a matter of right,
(b) the receiver may be an employee of Lender and may serve without bond,
and (c) all fees of the receiver and his or her attorney shall become part
of the indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on
demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until
repaid.
COLLECT REVENUES, APPLY ACCOUNTS. Lender, either itself or through a
receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
Collateral. Lender may at any time in its discretion transfer any
Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the
payments, rents, income and revenues therefrom and hold the same as
security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in
such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the
Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies,
instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender
may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, ▇▇▇ for,
foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or
not indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these purposes, Lender
may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of
mail addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments
are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents
of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage
of any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account
debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.
OBTAIN DEFICIENCY. If Lender Chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral,
Lender may obtain a judgment against Grantor for any deficiency remaining
on the indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received
from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Grantor shall
be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this
subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.
OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code,
as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and
may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at
law, in equity, or otherwise.
CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether
evidenced by this Agreement or the Related Documents or by any other
writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude
pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to
take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after
Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a
default and to exercise its remedies.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement.

constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the
matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to

payment for the Collateral; (c) to settle or compromise any and all claims
arising under the Collateral, and, in the place and stead of Grantor, to
execute and deliver its release and settlement for the claim, and (d) to
file any claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in
any proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Grantor, or
otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary or
advisable. This power is given as security for the indebtedness, and the
authority hereby conferred is and shall be irrevocable and shall remain in
full force and effect until renounced by Lender.
PREFERENCE PAYMENTS. Any monies Lender pays because of an asserted
preference claim in Borrower's bankruptcy will become a part of the
indebtedness and, at Lender's option, shall be payable by Borrower as
provided above in the "EXPENDITURES BY LENDER" paragraph.
SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. Subject to the limitations set forth above on
transfer of the Collateral, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
WAIVER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender
of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver
of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision
or any other provision
WSB Western Exhibit 10.12
Security
Bank
of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing
between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's
rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions.
Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the
granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute
continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required
and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
discretion of Lender.
WAIVER OF CO-OBLIGOR'S RIGHTS. If more than one person is obligated for
the indebtedness, Borrower irrevocably waives, disclaims and relinquishes
all claims against such other person which Borrower has or would otherwise
have by virtue of payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof,
specifically including but not limited to all rights of indemnity,
contribution or exoneration.
