Obligations.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Grantor shall remain
liable to
observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be
observed and
performed by Grantor in accordance with and pursuant to the
terms and provisions
of each of the Accounts. Bank shall have no obligation or
liability under any of
the Accounts by reason of or arising out of this Security

and the receipt of

1.4 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS. This Security Agreement is in
addition to
and without limitation of any right of Bank under any other
Security Agreement
granted by Grantor to Bank.
1.5 OTHER SECURED OBLIGATIONS. Grantor and Bank contemplate
that
Borrower and Bank will, from time to time, engage in various
transactions and
that, from time to time, other circumstances may arise, in which
Borrower
becomes obligated to Bank. Grantor understands that some of
those transactions
and circumstances may be of a type that is very different from
the loan
transaction evidenced in part by the Notes and the circumstances
connected
therewith. Grantor desires and intends that Bank engage in all
such
transactions, and deal generally with Borrower, with the
assurance that any and
all indebtedness and obligations now owed, and that may
hereafter become owing,
to Bank from Borrower will be secured by the liens arising
hereunder. Therefore,
the conveyance made by this Security Agreement, in addition to
being made to
secure payment of the Notes, is also made to secure and enforce
the payment of
all other indebtedness and obligations of Borrower to Bank,
whether presently
existing, or in any manner or means hereafter incurred by
Grantor, and evidenced
in any manner whatsoever, either by notes, advances, overdrafts,
bookkeeping
entries, guaranty agreements, liens or security instruments, or
any other method
or means, including any renewal and extension of the Notes, or
of any part of
any present or future indebtedness, or other obligations of
Borrower and
including any further loans and advancements made by Bank to
Borrower. The fact
of repayment of all Notes, Indebtedness and Liabilities, and
performance of all
other obligations, of Borrower, to Bank, shall not terminate the
lien arising
hereunder unless the same be released by Bank at the
4
<PAGE>
request of Borrower; but otherwise it shall remain in full force
and effect to
secure all future advances, indebtedness and other obligations,
regardless of
any additional security that may be taken as to any past or
future indebtedness
or other obligations.
1.6 FINANCING STATEMENTS. Grantor irrevocably appoints Bank as
its
lawful attorney and agent to execute financing statements on
Grantor's behalf,
and on its behalf to file Financing Statements signed by Bank
and Grantor, if
necessary, in any appropriate public office.
1.7 DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Grantor irrevocably appoints Bank as its
lawful
attorney and agent to advise any bank or financial institution
with which a
Deposit Account of Grantor is maintained of the assignment and
pledge of the
Deposit Accounts, cause such bank to execute an authenticated
record or similar
agreement acknowledging the assignment and pledge to Bank of the
Deposit
Accounts with that bank or financial institution and that such
bank or financial
institution will comply with any instructions from Bank as a
secured party
directing the disposition of the funds in the Deposit Accounts
without further
inquiry to or the further consent of Grantor. Until Bank
notifies the bank or
financial institution to the contrary, Grantor may have the
limited right to
direct the disposition of funds from the Deposit Accounts until
Bank exercises
its right to restrict Grantor's access to the funds in the
Deposit Accounts
pursuant to the assignment and pledge and directs the
disposition of the
proceeds from those Deposit Accounts. Bank shall also have a
lien on and
security interest in all Deposit Accounts of Grantor with
Bank.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In order to induce Bank to
enter into the
Loan Agreement, Grantor represents and warrants to Bank
that:
2.1 Except for Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Liens,
Grantor has
good and marketable title to its Collateral free and clear of
any mortgages,
liens, security interests, claims, or other encumbrances, except
for the
security interest created by this Security Agreement, purchase
money security
interests and/or financing leases of certain equipment, liens
disclosed to Bank
in writing and liens which are expressly subordinated to the
Bank's security
interest. The execution, delivery, and performance of this
Security Agreement
will not result in the creation or imposition of any other
mortgage, lien,
security interest, claim, or other encumbrance in all or any
part of the
Collateral. No lien, claim, financing statement, security
agreement, mortgage,
or other writing is on file in any public filing or recording
office or title
registration office giving notice of or creating (or purporting
to give notice
of or create) any mortgage, lien, security interest, claim, or
other encumbrance
on all or any part of the Collateral, except financing
statements and security
interests in favor of Bank and equipment lenders and lessors.
Bank has a valid
and continuing first lien on, and first perfected security
interest in, the
Collateral, prior to all other mortgages, liens, security
interests, claims or
other encumbrances, except for existing liens and leases
covering equipment and
purchase money security interests in future equipment, and such
security
interest will be enforceable as such against all other
persons.
2.2 The amount and aging of each scheduled account in any
financial
statement, accounts aging, or other material supplied by Grantor
to Bank are
correctly stated. Each of the accounts arose from the
performance of services or
from an outright and lawful sale or lease of goods by Grantor,
and all such
goods have or will be shipped or delivered to the account
debtor,
5
<PAGE>
and Grantor has possession of, or has delivered to Bank, all
available shipping
and/or delivery receipts evidencing such shipments or delivery.
Each of the
accounts is assignable. Unless otherwise disclosed to Bank in
writing, no
account is subject to setoff, credit, allowance or adjustment by
the account
debtor or by any other party to any agreement evidencing the
account, except
such discount as may be allowed for prompt payment. No account
debtor has
complained as to its liability on any account and has not
returned any of the
goods from the sale or lease from which such accounts arose.
Each of the
accounts arose in the ordinary course of Grantor's business,
unless otherwise
disclosed to Bank in writing, No notice of the bankruptcy,
insolvency, or
failure of any account debtor to pay debts as they become due
has been received
by Grantor.
2.3 All tangible Collateral is in good repair and condition in
all
material respects ordinary wear and tear excepted. Any and all
tangible
Collateral, which is in the possession of any third parties, is
held pursuant to
a contract and is clearly identified as the property of the
Grantor.
3. COVENANTS. Grantor covenants and agrees to and with Bank at
all times
throughout the term of this Agreement, such covenants and
agreements in this
Agreement to be in addition to the covenants, duties, and
obligations of Grantor
set forth in the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents,
that:
3.1 COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS. Following the occurrence of an Event
of
Default (as hereinafter defined), Bank is authorized at any time
and from time
to time to take all actions necessary to collect all or any part
of the Accounts
in its own name or in the name of Grantor. Upon request of Bank,
Grantor shall
execute and deliver to Bank (in addition to documents previously
delivered to
Bank) an assignment, in a form satisfactory to Bank, of all
Grantor's right,
title, and interest in and to each of the Accounts, and shall
obtain an
acknowledgment of assignment from any and all account debtors in
a form
satisfactory to Bank. Following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, if the
Accounts at any time include more than one Account of the same
account debtor,
Bank may apply the proceeds of any collection received from such
account debtor
toward the liquidation of any such Account as Bank may
determine. Following the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may settle or adjust all
disputes or
claims directly with the account debtors with respect to any of
the Accounts,
and may compromise or extend the time of payment for any of the
Accounts on such
terms and conditions as Bank may determine without affecting the
liability of
Grantor under this Security Agreement or any other document
evidencing or
relating to the obligations. The costs of such collection and
enforcement,
including attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses and all
other expenses and
liabilities resulting therefrom, shall be borne solely by
Grantor and shall be
immediately due and payable to Bank by Grantor. Bank shall not
be liable for
failure to collect or enforce any of the Accounts or for any act
or omission on
the part of Bank or its officers, agents, and employees, except
willful
misconduct. Until Bank exercises its right, Grantor is
authorized to, and shall
use, its best efforts to effect the prompt collection of the
Accounts. This
authorization may be terminated at any time following the
occurrence of an Event
of Default, and Bank may, at its election, notify any account
debtor on any of
the Accounts of the assignment thereof and effect collection of
any of the
Accounts directly from the account debtor obligated thereon.

3.2 DISPOSITION OF ACCOUNT COLLECTIONS. Grantor shall deposit
all
Proceeds (with all appropriate endorsements) received by Grantor
into its
accounts at Bank promptly after receipt by Grantor. After the
occurrence of an
Event of Default, Bank may in its sole discretion apply the
Proceeds to the
payment of any of the obligations or release such money to
Grantor without
waiving the right of Bank
