security interest or other collateral securing payment of any or all of the
Obligations, or to any other interest, properties, liens, rights or remedies

8. MISCELLANEOUS. Any disposition of the Collateral in the manner provided
in Section 5 shall be deemed commercially reasonable. This Agreement can be
waived, modified, amended, terminated or discharged, and the Security Interest
can be released, only explicitly in a writing signed by Secured Party. A waiver
signed by Secured Party shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the
exercise or enforcement of any Secured Party's rights or remedies. All rights
and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently, at Security Party's option, and the exercise or
enforcement of any one such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor
bar the exercise or enforcement of any other. All notices to be given to Pledgor
shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or mailed by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, to Pledgor at its address set forth above or at
the most recent address shown on Secured Party's records. Secured Party's duty
of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall
be deemed fulfilled if Secured Party exercises reasonable care in physically
safekeeping such Collateral or, in the case of Collateral in the custody or
possession of a bailee or other third person, exercises reasonable care in the
selection of the bailee or other third person, and Secured Party need not
otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. Secured Party
shall not be obligated to preserve any rights Pledgor may have against prior
parties, to exercise at all or in any particular manner any voting rights which
may be available with respect to any Collateral, to realize on the Collateral at
all or in any particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of
Collateral in any particular order of application. Pledgor will reimburse
Secured Party for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses) incurred by Secured Party in the protection, defense or enforcement of
the Security Interest, including expenses incurred in any litigation or
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Pledgor and Secured Party and their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns and shall take effect when signed by
Pledgor and delivered to Secured Party. Except to the extent otherwise required
by law, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state in which it is
executed and, unless the context otherwise requires, all terms used herein which
are defined in Articles 1 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in
said state, shall have the meanings therein stated. If any provision or
application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect,
such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or
applications which can be given effect, and this Agreement shall be construed as
if the unlawful or unenforceable provision or application had never been
contained herein or prescribed hereby. All representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations.
If this Agreement is signed by more than one person as Pledgor, the term
"Pledgor" shall refer to each of them separately and to both or all of them
jointly; all such persons shall be bound both severally and jointly with the
other(s); and all property described in Section 1 shall be included as part of
the Collateral, whether it is owned jointly by both or all Pledgors or is owned
in whole or in part by one (or more) of them.
