COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 0000011001 (Continued) Page 2
================================================================================
(E) All records and data relating to any of the property described in
this Collateral section, whether in the form of a writing, photograph,
microfilm, microfiche, or electronic media, together with all of
Grantor's right, title, and interest in and to all computer software
required to utilize, create, maintain, and Process any such records or
data on electronic media.
Despite any other provision of this Agreement, Lender is not granted, and will
not have, a nonpurchase money security interest in household goods, to the
extent such a security interest would be prohibited by applicable law. In
addition, if because of the type of any Property, Lender is required to give a
notice of the right to cancel under Truth in Lending for the Indebtedness, then
Lender will not have a security interest in such Collateral unless and until
such a notice is given.
CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. In addition to the Note, this Agreement secures all
obligations, debts and liabilities, plus interest thereon, of Grantor to Lender,
or any one or more of them, as well as all claims by Lender against Grantor or
any one or more of them, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether
related or unrelated to the purpose of the Note, whether voluntary or otherwise,
whether due or not due, direct or indirect, determined or undetermined, absolute
or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated whether Grantor may be liable
individually or jointly with others, whether obligated as guarantor, surety,
accommodation party or otherwise, and whether recovery upon such amounts may be
or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether the
obligation to repay such amounts may be or hereafter may become otherwise
unenforceable.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender, reserves a
right of setoff in all Grantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Grantor holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future.
However, this does not include any ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.
GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. With
respect to the Collateral, Grantor represents and promises to Lender that:
PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Grantor agrees to take whatever
actions are requested by Lender to perfect and continue Lender's
security interest in the Collateral. Upon request of Lender, Grantor
will deliver to Lander any and all of the documents evidencing or
constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will note Lender's interest
upon any and all chattel paper and instruments it not delivered to
Lender for possession by Lender. This is a continuing Security
Agreement and will continue in effect even though all or any part of
the Indebtedness is [ILLEGIBLE] and even though for a period of time
Grantor may not be indebted to Lender.
NOTICES TO LENDER. Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing at
Lender's address shown above for such other addresses as Lender may
designate from time to time prior to any (1) change in Grantor's name;

management of the Corporation Grantor; (4) change in the authorized
signer(s); (5) change in Grantor's principal office address; (6) change
in Grantor's state of organization; (7) conversion of Grantor to a new
or different type of business entity; or (8) change in any other aspect
of Grantor that directly or indirectly relates to any agreements
between Grantor and Lender. No change in Grantor's name or state of
organization will take effect unto after Lender has received notice.
NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not
violate any law or agreement providing 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 as defined by the
Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance
with its terms, is genuine, and fully complies with all applicant, laws
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 0000011001 (Continued) Page 3
================================================================================
and regulations 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. At the time any account becomes
subject to a security interest in favor of Lender, the account shall be
a good and valid account representing an undisputed, bona fide
indebtedness incurred by the account debtor, for merchandise held
subject to delivery instructions or previously shipped or delivered
pursuant to a contract of sale, or for services previously performed by
Grantor with or for the account debtor. So long as this Agreement
remains in effect, Grantor shall not, without Lender's prior written
consent, compromise, settle, adjust, or extend payment under or with
regard to any such Accounts. There shall be no setoffs or counterclaims
against any of the Collateral, and no agreement shall have been made
under which any deductions or discounts may be claimed concerning the
Collateral except those disclosed to Lender in writing.
LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's
business, Grantor agrees to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the
Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts or general
intangibles, the records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's
address shown above or at such other locations as are acceptable to
Lends. Upon Lender's request, Grantor 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: (1) all real property Grantor owns or is
purchasing; (2) all real property Grantor is renting or leasing; (3)
all storage facilities Grantor owns, rents, leases, or uses; and (4)
all other properties where Collateral is or may be located.
REMOVAL OF THE COLLATERAL. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's
business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not remove
the Collateral from its existing location without Lender's prior
written consent. 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 outside the State of Michigan, without Lender's prior
written consent. Grantor shall, whenever requested, advise Lender of
the exact location of the Collateral.
TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING COLLATERAL. Except for inventory sold or
accounts collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, or as
otherwise provided for in this Agreement, 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 Grantor 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.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Grantor agrees to keep and maintain, and to
cause others to keep and maintain, the Collateral in good order, repair
and condition at all times while this Agreement remains in effect.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 0000011001 (Continued) Page 4
================================================================================
Grantor further agrees to pay when due all claims for work done on, or
services tendered or material furnished in connection with the
Collateral so that no lien or encumbrance may ever attach to or be
filed against the Collateral.
INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender and Lender's designated
representatives and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times
to examine and inspect the Collateral wherever located.
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,
reasonable 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 an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the
contest proceedings. Grantor further agrees to furnish Lender with
evidence that such taxes, assessments, and governmental and other
charges have been paid in full and in a timely manner. 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.
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, including
all laws or regulations relating to the undue erosion of highly
erodible land or relating to the conversion of wetlands for the
production of an agricultural product or commodity. Grantor may contest
in good faith my 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 in violation of any
Environmental Laws or for the generation, manufacture, storage,
transportation treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of
any Hazardous Substance. The representations and warranties contained
herein are based on Grantor's due diligence in investigating the
Collateral for Hazardous Substances. Grantor hereby (1) releases and
waves any future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in
the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any
Environmental Laws, and (2) 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 anti maintain
all risks insurance, including without limitation fire, 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 cancelled or diminished without
at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and not
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 0000011001 (Continued) Page 5
================================================================================
including any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give
such a notice. Each insurance policy shall include an endorsement
providing 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 Lender so chooses
"single interest insurance," which will cover only Lender's interest in
the Collateral.
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, at 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:
(1) the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of
the policy; (4) the property insured; (5) the then current value on the
basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of
determining that value; and (6) 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.
FINANCING STATEMENTS. Grantor authorizes Lender to file a UCC financing
statement, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to perfect
Lender's security interest. At Lender's request, Grantor additionally
agrees to sign all other documents that are necessary to perfect,
protect, and continue Lender's security interest in the Property.
Grantor will pay all filing fees, title transfer fees, and other fees
and costs involved unless prohibited by law or unless Lender is
required by law to pay such fees and costs. Grantor irrevocably
appoints Lender to execute documents necessary to transfer title if
there is a default. Lender may file a copy of this Agreement as a
financing statement. If Grantor changes Grantor's name or address, or
the name or address of any person granting a security interest under
this Agreement changes, Grantor will promptly notify the Lender of such
change.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 0000011001 (Continued) Page 6
================================================================================
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except
as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, 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. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of
the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of
Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to
notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to
the Indebtedness. 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.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying 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 will become 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 (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) 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. The 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 Default.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement.
PAYMENT DEFAULT. Grantor fails to make any payment when due under this
Indebtedness.
OTHER DEFAULTS. Grantor fails 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 to comply with or to perform any
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other
agreement between Lender and Grantor.
DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Should Borrower or any Grantor
default under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement,
purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any
other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Grantor's
property or Grantor's or any Grantor's ability to repay the
Indebtedness or perform their respective obligations under this
Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made of
furnished to Lender by Grantor or on Grantor's behalf under this
Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any
material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or
becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
DEFECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Agreement or any of the Related
Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
any collateral document to create a valid and perfect security interest
or lien) at any time and for any reason.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 0000011001 (Continued) Page 7
================================================================================
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 any collateral securing the Indebtedness.
This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's accounts, including
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 dispute.
EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of
any of the Indebtedness or guarantor, endorser, surety, or
accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes
the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.
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 believes itself insecure.
CURE PROVISIONS. If any default, other than a default in payment is
curable and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the
same provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12)
months, it may be cured if Grantor, after receiving written notice from
Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within
fifteen (15) days; or (2) 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 reasonably 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 Michigan 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 of any kind to
Grantor.
ASSEMBLE COLLATERAL. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender
all or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of
tale 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
Lender's 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, and other persons as
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 0000011001 (Continued) Page 8
================================================================================
required by law. reasonable notice of the time and place of any public
sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other disposition
of the Collateral is to be made. However, no notice need be provided to
any person who, after Event of Default occurs, enters into and
authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification
of sale. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such
notice is given at least ten (10) days 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 sate 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. Any failure of Grantor to pay any taxes assessed
against the Collateral or to pay any installment of those taxes or to
pay any insurance premium upon any policy covering any property located
upon the Collateral shall constitute waste and shall entitle Lender to
the appointment by a court of competent jurisdiction of a receiver of
the Collateral for the purpose of preventing the waste, except that no
receiver may be appointed for any dwelling house or farm occupied by
any owner of it as the owner's home or farm or for any store or other
business property having an assessed valuation of $7,500 or less.
Subject to the order of the court, the receiver may collect the rents
and income from the Collateral and shall exercise control over the
Collateral to the extent, ordered by the court. A court may also
appoint a receiver for the Collateral in any other circumstances
permitted by law. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver
appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with
the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the
Collateral preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from
the Collateral and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the
receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without
bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment of a
receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the
Collateral exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment
by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.
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 Lender's discretion on
transfer any Collateral into Lender's own name or that of Lender s
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.

ELECTION OF REMEDIES. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law,
all of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, 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 exercise its remedies.

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

not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such
consent is required and in ail cases such consent may be granted or
