RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTY
Section 4.01. Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the name of Debtor or in its own name, to take, any and
all action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which Secured
Party at any time and from time to time deems necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. All third parties may conclusively
rely on any action taken by Secured Party purporting to act in its capacity as
attorney-in-fact for Debtor.

irrevocable. Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the
exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options expressly or
implicitly granted to Secured Party in this Agreement, and shall not be liable
for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Secured Party shall not be
liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of
fact or law in its individual capacity or in its capacity as attorney-in-fact
except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence and willful
misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on Secured Party solely for the
purposes of enabling Secured Party to act on behalf of Debtor in order to
perform any act that Debtor is obligated to perform hereunder that Debtor has
failed or refused to perform, or for any other purpose which Secured Party deems
necessary to act promptly to protect or preserve its security interest in the
Collateral. Secured Party shall not be responsible for any decline in the value
of the Collateral and shall not be required to take any steps to preserve rights

or lien given to secure the Collateral.
Section 4.02. Performance by Secured Party of Debtor's Obligations. If
Debtor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein,
Secured Party itself may, at its sole discretion, cause or attempt to cause
performance or compliance with such agreement and the expenses of Secured Party,
together with interest thereon at the maximum nonusurious per annum rate
permitted by applicable law, shall be payable by Debtor to Secured Party on
demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Secured Party shall
not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation
of Debtor under this Agreement.
Section 4.03. Setoff; Property Held by Secured Party. Subject to the
provisions of the Credit Agreement, which shall control over any contrary
provisions in this Section, Secured Party shall have the right to set off and
apply against the Obligations, at any time and without notice to Debtor, any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or other
sums at any time credited by or owing from Secured Party to Debtor. As
additional security for the Obligations, Debtor hereby grants Secured Party a
security interest in all money, instruments, and other property of Debtor now or
hereafter held by Secured Party, including without limitation, property held in
safekeeping. In addition to Secured Party's right of setoff and as further
security for the Obligations, Debtor hereby grants Secured Party a security
interest in all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) of Debtor now or hereafter on deposit with or held by Secured Party and
all other sums at any time credited by or owing from Secured Party to Debtor.
The rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff)
which Secured Party may have.

time assign the Obligations and any portion thereof and the Collateral and any
portion thereof, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and
remedies of Secured Party under this Agreement in relation thereto.

time to file, and Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file, a Uniform
Commercial Code Financing Statement or this Security Agreement (or any amendment
to either such instrument) or a carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of
this Security Agreement (or amendment thereto), as a financing statement (or
amendment thereto), in any form or medium provided by the UCC, with or without
Debtor's signature, but the failure of Secured Party to do so shall not impair
the validity or enforceability of this Security Agreement.

Section 5.01. Default and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), Secured Party shall
have the following rights and remedies:
(a) Secured Party may declare the Obligations or any part thereof
immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of
dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived by Debtor; provided, however, that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01 of the Credit
Agreement, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without
notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or
other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by

Collateral therefrom or render it inoperable, and/or (ii) sell, lease, or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more
parcels at public or private sale or sales, at Secured Party's offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery. Upon the request of

to Secured Party at any place designated by Secured Party that is
reasonably convenient to Debtor and Secured Party. Debtor agrees that
Secured Party shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days
written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time
after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall
constitute reasonable notice of such matters. Debtor shall be liable for
all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or the like, and all
attorneys' fees, legal expenses, and all other costs and expenses incurred
by Secured Party in connection with the collection of the Obligations and
the enforcement of Secured Party's rights under this Agreement. Secured
Party may apply the Collateral against the Obligations in such order and
manner as Secured Party may elect in its sole discretion. Debtor waives all
rights of marshalling in respect of the Collateral.
(c) Secured Party may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to
be transferred into the name of Secured Party or the name or names of
Secured Party's nominee or nominees.
