such property, all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefore, and all
insurance and/or other proceeds thereof (all such property is individually and
collectively called the "COLLATERAL"). This security interest is given to secure
the payment and performance of certain Promissory Notes from time to time
identified on any Collateral Schedule (collectively "NOTES" and each a "NOTE"),

modifications of such debts, obligations and liabilities (such Notes, debts,
obligations and liabilities are called the "INDEBTEDNESS"). Debtor acknowledges
that, notwithstanding that the Note(s) may be paid in full, this Security
Agreement shall continue to secure the payment and performance of any remaining
Indebtedness of Debtor to Secured Party, now existing or arising in the future,
and that Secured Party shall be under no obligation to release the Collateral
unless and until all Indebtedness of Debtor to Secured Party has been paid and
satisfied; provided, however, Secured Party, in its sole and exclusive
discretion, may elect to release some of the Collateral without prejudice to
Secured Party's security interest in the remaining Collateral. Unless otherwise
provided by applicable law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, to the extent that Secured Party asserts a purchase money
security interest in any items of Collateral ("PMSI COLLATERAL"): (i) the PMSI
Collateral shall secure only that portion of the Indebtedness which has been
advanced by Secured Party to enable Debtor to purchase, or acquire rights in or
the use of such PMSI Collateral (the "PMSI INDEBTEDNESS"), and (ii) no other
Collateral shall secure the PMSI Indebtedness.

exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or
further exercise of that or any other right, power or privilege.

UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR
PAPER SIGNED BY DEBTOR UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSED IN WRITING

otherwise, of any Note or any of the other documents
evidencing any of the Indebtedness shall not affect the right

Indebtedness as may then exist or as it may be reasonably
contemplated will exist in the future. This Agreement shall
automatically be reinstated if Secured Party is ever required
to return or restore the payment of all or any portion of the
Indebtedness (all as though such payment had never been made).
