and only as permitted by insurance policies, and permit Bank to inspect the
Collateral at any reasonable time.

Inventory Collateral in the ordinary course of business only, and collect

(d) If an account debtor shall also be indebted to Obligor on another
obligation, any payment made by him not specifically designated to be

no event of default has occurred, Bank shall pay Obligor the amount of such
payment;
(e) Obligor agrees not to compromise, settle or adjust any account or renew
or extend the time of payment thereof without Bank's prior written consent.
6. Obligor owns all Collateral absolutely, and no other person has or

instrument in payment of any loss or return premium. If Obligor should fail to
deliver the required policy or policies to the Bank, Bank may, at Obligor's cost
and expense, without any duty to do so, get and pay for insurance naming at the

cost thereof shall be secured by this Security Agreement, and shall be repayable

continue even if the Debt is outlawed. All Obligors waive; (a) any right to

are all to be considered commercially reasonable. Bank may require Obligor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at the enhance to the
location of the Collateral, or a place designated by Bank.
Defaults shall include:
(a) Obligor's failure to pay or perform this or any agreement with Bank or

of the Debt.
(f) Any warranty or representation which is false or is believed in good
faith by Bank to be false.

bank to exercise any right or remedy shall not waive any obligation of Obligor
or Borrower or right of Bank to modify this Agreement, or waive any other
similar default.
14. On transfer of all or any part of the Debt, Bank may transfer all or
any part of the Collateral. Bank may deliver all or any part of the Collateral
to any Obligor at any time. Any such transfer or delivery shall discharge Bank
from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Collateral
transferred or delivered. This Agreement benefits Bank's successors and assigns
