Dollars) and Borrower providing evidence of same to Creditor, Creditor shall
forthwith release its security interest in all patents, trademarks and
copyrights of the Borrower and shall file a UCC-3 releasing such collateral fro
the coverage of any financing statement filed by Creditor. Such release shall
not affect Creditor's security interest in any other Collateral which shall
remain in full force and effect. In addition, Creditor shall deliver the
Collateral remaining in Creditor's hands forthwith upon payment in full of all
obligations represented by the Indebtedness. Such delivery shall discharge
Creditor from any liability or responsibility for the Collateral delivered.

in exercising any right, power or remedy shall not preclude the further exercise
thereof, and every right, power or remedy of Creditor shall continue in full
force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived by any
instrument in writing executed by Creditor. Borrower waives any right to require
Creditor to proceed against any person or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue
any remedy in Creditor's power. Creditor shall not be required to make any
presentment, demand or protest, or give any notice, and need not take any action
