you may declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and you shall have
the remedies of a secured party provided in the Uniform Commercial Code as in

thereof to such other premises as you may desire. Upon your request, we shall
assemble the Collateral and make it available to you at a place designated by
you. If any notification of intended disposition of any Collateral is required

terms, immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice to us, perform
or fulfill the same or cause the performance or fulfillment of the same for our
account and at our sole cost and expense, and the cost and expense thereof
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be added to the Obligations and
shall be payable on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted
by law.
7. We appoint you, any of your officers, employees or any other person or
entity whom you may designate as our attorney, with power to execute such
documents in our behalf and to supply any omitted information and correct patent
errors in any documents executed by us or on our behalf; to file financing
statements against us covering the Collateral; to sign our name on public
records; and to do all other things you deem necessary to carry out this
Agreement. We hereby ratify and approve all acts of the attorney and neither you
nor the attorney will be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for
any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law. This power being coupled with
an interest, is irrevocable so long as any Obligations remains unpaid.

option hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or of any other right,
privilege, remedy or option, and no waiver whatever shall be valid unless in

action or proceeding, shall be binding upon us for the purpose of establishing
the items therein set forth and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof. You

you, successively, alternately or concurrently. We agree to join with you in

enure to the benefit of your successors and assigns. The term "you" as herein

benefit of and shall bind the representatives, successors and assigns of each of
us and them. You and we hereby (a) waive any and all right to trial by jury in
