or an affiliate of Lender by means of a transaction that results in the
transfer of more than forty percent (40%) of the total outstanding power of
Borrower; or (iii) December 31, 2000 (the "Maturity Date"). The events
described in items (i) through (iii) above are collectively referred to herein

Xxxxxxxx agrees that twenty-five percent (25%) of any amounts so raised shall
be used by Borrower to immediately repay amounts that may be outstanding
hereunder, whether or not such amounts may be due under the immediately
preceding paragraph.

a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for actual days elapsed. In the event
that, Borrower pays interest under this Note and Agreement and it is determined
that such interest rate was in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that
portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then
legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against
the principal then due under this Note and Agreement.

Section 7 Authorization; Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Secured
Party shall have the right to, in the name of Debtor, or in the name of Secured
Party or otherwise, upon notice to but without the requirement of assent by
Debtor, and Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party (and any of

Debtor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to:
(i) sign any of the financing statements and other documents and instruments
which must be executed or filed to perfect or continue perfected, maintain the

Collateral (including any notices to or agreements with any securities
intermediary); (ii) assert, adjust, sue for, compromise or release any claims
under any policies of insurance; and (iii) execute any and all such other
documents and instruments, and do any and all acts and things for and on behalf
of Debtor, which Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to
maintain, protect, realize upon and preserve the Collateral and Secured Party's
security interest therein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.
Secured Party agrees that, except upon and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney, or any rights granted
to Secured Party, pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii). The foregoing power of
attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Obligations
have not been paid and performed in full. Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent
permitted by law, all that Secured Party shall lawfully and in good faith do or
cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 7.
Section 8 Events of Default. Any of the following events which shall occur
and be continuing shall constitute an "Event of Default":
(a) Any "Event of Default" as defined in the Note shall have occurred.
(b) Any representation or warranty by Debtor under or in connection with
this Agreement, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect
when made or shall become incorrect in any material respect following the

other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, on its part
to be performed or observed and any such failure shall remain unremedied
for a period of 10 days after written notice thereof by Secured Party.
(d) Any loss, theft or substantial damage to, or destruction of, any
material portion of the Collateral (unless within 10 days after the
occurrence of any such event, Debtor furnishes to Secured Party evidence
satisfactory to Secured Party that the amount of any such loss, theft,
damage to or destruction of the Collateral is adequately insured under
policies naming Secured Party as an additional named insured or loss
payee).
Section 9 Remedies.
(a) Prior to termination of this Security Agreement, and upon the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may
declare any of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable and shall
have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this
Agreement or the Note, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the
UCC and other applicable laws. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Secured Party may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, license,
sublicense, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral
in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation
or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of Debtor's assets,
without charge or liability to Secured Party therefor) at public or private
sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or
different times, for cash or credit, or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk, all as Secured Party deems advisable;
provided, however, that Debtor shall be credited with the net proceeds of
sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by Secured Party.
Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole
or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption, which right or equity of redemption Debtor hereby releases, to
the extent permitted by law. Xxxxxx hereby agrees that the sending of
notice by ordinary mail, postage prepaid, to the address of Debtor
13
set forth herein, of the place and time of any public sale or of the time
after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made,
shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof if such notice is sent ten days
prior to the date of such sale or other disposition or the date on or after
which such sale or other disposition may occur.
(b) For the purpose of enabling Secured Party to exercise its rights and
remedies under this Section 9 or otherwise in connection with this
Agreement, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable, non-
exclusive and assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or
other compensation to Debtor) to use, license or sublicense any
intellectual property Collateral.
(c) The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other
disposition or collection of Collateral, and any other amounts received in
respect of the Collateral the application of which is not otherwise
provided for herein, shall be applied first, to the payment of the
reasonable costs and expenses of Secured Party in exercising or enforcing
its rights hereunder and in collecting or attempting to collect any of the
Collateral, and to the payment of all other amounts payable to Secured
Party pursuant to Section 13 hereof; and second, to the payment of the
Obligations. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance
in full of the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to Debtor or
otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law.
Debtor shall remain liable to Secured Party for any deficiency which exists
after any sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral.
Section 10 Certain Waivers. Debtor waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether
before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the
Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations; (ii) any right
to require Secured Party (A) to proceed against any Person, (B) to exhaust any
other collateral or security for any of the Obligations, (C) to pursue any
remedy in Secured Party's power, or (D) to make or give any presentments,
demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of
protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Collateral; and
(iii) all claims, damages, and demands against Secured Party arising out of the
repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the
Collateral.
Section 11 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be
given as provided in Section 11.2 of the Merger Agreement.
Section 12 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Secured
Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may
otherwise be available to Secured Party.
Section 13 Costs and Expenses. Debtor agrees to pay on demand: all
reasonable costs and expenses of Secured Party, and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel, in connection with the enforcement or attempted
enforcement of, and preservation of any rights or interests under, this
Agreement and the Note, including in any out-of-court workout or other
refinancing or restructuring or in any bankruptcy case, and the protection,
sale or collection of, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral,
including all expenses of taking, collecting, holding, sorting, handling,
preparing for sale, selling, or the like, and other such expenses of sales and
collections of Collateral. Any amounts payable to Secured Party under this
Section 13 or otherwise under this Agreement if not paid when due shall bear
interest from the date such payment is due until paid in full, at the rate of
interest set forth in the Note.
Section 14 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by Xxxxxx, Secured Party and their respective
successors and assigns.
Section 15 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the law of the State of California, except as required by
mandatory provisions of law and to the extent the validity or perfection of the
security interests hereunder, or the remedies hereunder, in respect of any
Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than California.
14
Section 16 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall
not be amended except by the written agreement of the parties.
Section 17 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all
applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any
jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform
to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it
is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining
provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
Section 19 Termination. Upon indefeasible payment and performance in full of
all Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and Secured Party shall
promptly execute and deliver to Debtor such documents and instruments
reasonably requested by Xxxxxx as shall be necessary to evidence termination of
all security interests given by Debtor to Secured Party hereunder; provided,
however, that the obligations of Debtor under Section 13 hereof shall survive
such termination.

("Secured Party").
Debtor and Secured Party are parties to a Security Agreement of even date
herewith (as amended, modified, renewed or extended from time to time, the
"Security Agreement"), which Security Agreement provides, among other things,
for the grant by Debtor to Secured Party of a security interest in certain of
Debtor's property and assets, including, without limitation, its patents and
patent applications, its trademarks, service marks and trade names, and its
applications for registration of such trademarks, service marks and trade
names. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, Debtor has agreed to execute and
deliver this Agreement to Secured Party for filing with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO") (and any other relevant recording
systems in any domestic or foreign jurisdiction), and as further evidence of
and to effectuate such grant of a security interest in such patents and patent
applications, trademarks, service marks and trade names, and applications for
registration of such trademarks, service marks and trade names, and the other
general intangibles described herein. Accordingly, Debtor and Secured Party
hereby agree as follows:
Section 1 Definitions; Interpretation.
(a) All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Security
Agreement.
(b) In this Agreement, (i) the meaning of defined terms shall be
equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms
defined; and (ii) the captions and headings are for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

(a) As security for the payment and performance of the Obligations (as
defined in the Security Agreement), Debtor hereby grants a security
interest in and mortgage to Secured Party, for security purposes, all of
Debtor's right, title and interest in, to and under the following property,
whether now existing or owned or hereafter acquired, developed or arising
(collectively, the "Intellectual Property Collateral"):
(i) all patents and patent applications, domestic or foreign, all
licenses relating to any of the foregoing and all income and royalties
with respect to any licenses (including, without limitation, such
patents and patent applications as described in Schedule A hereto), all
rights to sue for past, present or future infringement thereof, all
rights arising therefrom and pertaining thereto and all reissues,

part thereof;
(ii) all state (including common law), federal and foreign
trademarks, service marks and trade names, and applications for
registration of such trademarks, service marks and trade names, all
licenses relating to any of the foregoing and all income and royalties
with respect to any licenses (including, without limitation, such
marks, names and applications as described in Schedule B hereto),
whether registered or unregistered and wherever registered, all rights
to sue for past, present or future infringement or unconsented use
thereof, all rights arising therefrom and pertaining thereto and all

aforementioned properties and assets and not otherwise described above;
and
(v) all products and proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.
19
(b) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Intellectual Property Collateral which shall remain in effect until
terminated in accordance with Section 17 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the
grant of a security interest as provided herein shall not extend to, and
the term "Collateral" shall not include, any general intangibles of Debtor
(whether owned or held as licensee or lessee, or otherwise), to the extent
that (i) such general intangibles are not assignable or capable of being
encumbered as a matter of law or under the terms of the license, lease or
other agreement applicable thereto (but solely to the extent that any such
restriction shall be enforceable under applicable law), without the consent
of the licensor or lessor thereof or other applicable party thereto and
(ii) such consent has not been obtained; provided, however, that the
foregoing grant of security interest shall extend to, and the term
"Collateral" shall include, (A) any general intangible which is an account
receivable or a proceed of, or otherwise related to the enforcement or
collection of, any account receivable, or goods which are the subject of
any account receivable, (B) any and all proceeds of any general intangibles
which are otherwise excluded to the extent that the assignment or
encumbrance of such proceeds is not so restricted, and (C) upon obtaining
the consent of any such licensor, lessor or other applicable party's
consent with respect to any such otherwise excluded general intangibles,
(but without obligating Debtor to obtain such consent) such general
intangibles as well as any and all proceeds thereof that might have
theretofore have been excluded from such grant of a security interest and
the term "Collateral."
Section 3 Further Assurances; Appointment of Secured Party as Attorney-in-
Fact. Debtor at its expense shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed
and delivered, to Secured Party any and all documents and instruments, in form
and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, and take any and all action, which
Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time, to perfect and continue
perfected, maintain the priority of or provide notice of Secured Party's
security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral and to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement. Secured Party shall have the right to, in the name
of the Debtor, or in the name of Secured Party or otherwise, without notice to
or assent by the Debtor, and the Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Secured Party (and any of Secured Party's officers or employees or
agents designated by Secured Party) as the Debtor's true and lawful attorney-
in-fact with full power and authority, (i) to sign the name of the Debtor on
all or any of such documents or instruments and perform all other acts that
Secured Party deems necessary or advisable in order to perfect or continue
perfected, maintain the priority or enforceability of or provide notice of
Secured Party's security interest in, the Intellectual Property Collateral, and
(ii) to execute any and all other documents and instruments, and to perform any
and all acts and things for and on behalf of the Debtor, which Secured Party
may deem necessary or advisable to maintain, preserve and protect the
Intellectual Property Collateral and to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including (A) to defend, settle, adjust or (after the occurrence of
any Event of Default) institute any action, suit or proceeding with respect to
the Intellectual Property Collateral, and, after the occurrence of any Event of
Default, (B) to assert or retain any rights under any license agreement for any
of the Intellectual Property Collateral, including without limitation any
rights of the Debtor arising under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, and
(C) after the occurrence of any Event of Default, to execute any and all
applications, documents, papers and instruments for Secured Party to use the
Intellectual Property Collateral, to grant or issue any exclusive or non-
exclusive license or sub-license with respect to any Intellectual Property
Collateral, and to assign, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of
the Intellectual Property Collateral; provided, however, that in no event shall
Secured Party have the unilateral power, prior to the occurrence and
continuation of an Event of Default, to assign any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral to any Person, including itself, without the Debtor's written
consent. The foregoing shall in no way limit Secured Party's rights and
remedies upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default. The power of
attorney set forth in this Section 3, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable so long as this Agreement shall not have terminated in accordance
with Section 17.
Section 4 Future Rights. Except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing
by Secured Party, if and when the Debtor shall obtain rights to any new
patentable inventions or any new trademarks, or become entitled to the benefit
of any of the foregoing, or obtain rights or benefits with respect to any
reissue, division, continuation, renewal, extension or continuation-in-part of
any patents or trademarks, or any improvement of any patent, the provisions of
Section 2 shall automatically apply thereto and the Debtor shall give to
Secured
20
Party prompt notice thereof. Debtor shall do all things deemed necessary or
advisable by Secured Party to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and
enforceability of the security interests of Secured Party in such future
acquired Intellectual Property Collateral; provided, however, that Debtor shall
not be required to register any patents or trademarks with the PTO except to
the extent consistent with Debtor's past practices. Debtor hereby authorizes
Secured Party to modify, amend, or supplement the Schedules hereto and to
reexecute this Agreement from time to time on Debtor's behalf and as its
attorney-in-fact to include any such future Intellectual Property Collateral
and to cause such reexecuted Agreement or such modified, amended or
supplemented Schedules to be filed with PTO.
Section 5 Secured Party's Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement, Secured Party shall have no duty to exercise any of the rights,
privileges or powers afforded to it and shall not be responsible to the Debtor
or any other Person for any failure to do so or delay in doing so. Except for
the accounting for moneys actually received by Secured Party hereunder or in
connection herewith, Secured Party shall have no duty or liability to exercise
or preserve any rights, privileges or powers pertaining to the Intellectual
Property Collateral.
Section 6 Representations and Warranties. Debtor represents and warrants to
Secured Party as of the date of this Agreement that:

Collateral consisting of U.S. patents and patent applications and/or
registrations owned by the Debtor, in whole or in part, is set forth in

subsisting and have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or
in part.
(d) All maintenance fees required to be paid on account of any patents
or trademarks of Debtor have been timely paid for maintaining such patents
and trademarks in force, and, to Debtor's knowledge, each of the patents
and trademarks constituting part of the Intellectual Property Collateral is
valid and enforceable.
(e) To Debtor's knowledge, no material infringement or unauthorized use
presently is being made of any Intellectual Property Collateral by any
Person.
(f) To Debtor's knowledge, Debtor is the sole and exclusive owner of the

future use of such Intellectual Property Collateral by Debtor has not, does
not and will not infringe or violate any right, privilege or license
agreement of or with any other Person.

until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to Section 17 hereof, Xxxxxx
agrees that Debtor shall not do, cause or permit any of the following without
the prior consent of Secured Party:
(a) Assignor will appear in and defend any action, suit or proceeding
which may affect to a material extent its title to, or Assignee's rights or
interest in, the Intellectual Property Collateral.

21
Section 8 Secured Party's Rights and Remedies.
(a) Secured Party shall have all rights and remedies available to it
under the Security Agreement, the Note and applicable law with respect to
the security interests in any of the Intellectual Property Collateral or
any other collateral. Debtor agrees that such rights and remedies include,
but are not limited to, the right of Secured Party as a secured party to
sell or otherwise dispose of its collateral after default pursuant to the
UCC. Debtor agrees that Secured Party shall at all times have such royalty
free licenses, to the extent permitted by law, for any Intellectual
Property Collateral that shall be reasonably necessary to permit the
exercise of any of Secured Party's rights or remedies upon or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default and shall additionally have the right to
license and/or sublicense any Intellectual Property Collateral, whether
general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a
nonexclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, throughout
the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner,
as Secured Party in its sole discretion shall determine in connection with
the exercise of any of such rights or remedies. In addition to and without
limiting any of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right but
shall in no way be obligated to bring suit, or to take such other action as
Secured Party deems necessary or advisable, in the name of the Debtor or
Secured Party, to enforce or protect any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral, in which event the Debtor shall, at the request of Secured
Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents
required by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement. To the extent that
Secured Party shall elect not to bring suit to enforce such Intellectual
Property Collateral, Debtor agrees to use all reasonable measures and its
diligent efforts, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to
prevent the infringement, misappropriation or violations thereof by others
and for that purpose agrees diligently to maintain any action, suit or
proceeding against any Person necessary to prevent such infringement,
misappropriation or violation.
(b) The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other
disposition or collection of Intellectual Property Collateral, and any
other amounts received in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral
the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be
applied as provided in the Security Agreement.
Section 9 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be
given as provided in Section 11.2 of the Merger Agreement.
Section 10 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Secured
Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may
otherwise be available to Secured Party.
Section 11 Costs and Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Xxxxxx agrees to pay on demand all of Secured Party's reasonable
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection
with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of, and preservation of any
rights or interests under, this Agreement, and the assignment, sale or
other disposal of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral.
(b) Debtor hereby agrees to indemnify Secured Party, any affiliate
thereof, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents,
counsel and other advisors (each an "Indemnified Person") against, and hold
each of them harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and attorneys' fees incurred
pursuant to 11 U.S.C., which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against any Indemnified Person, relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, including in connection with any infringement or alleged
infringement with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral, or any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder (the
22
"Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that Debtor shall not be liable to any
Indemnified Person for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the
extent they are found by a final decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the extent that the foregoing
indemnification is for any reason held unenforceable, Xxxxxx agrees to make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the
Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
(c) Any amounts payable to Secured Party under this Section 11 or
otherwise under this Agreement if not paid upon demand shall bear interest
from the date of such demand until paid in full, at the rate of interest
set forth in the Note.
Section 12 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by Xxxxxx, Secured Party and their respective
successors and assigns.
Section 13 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the law of the State of California, except to the extent
that the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder in respect
of any Intellectual Property Collateral are governed by federal law and except
to the extent that Secured Party shall have greater rights or remedies under
federal law, in which case such choice of California law shall not be deemed to
deprive Secured Party of such rights and remedies as may be available under
federal law.
Section 14 Amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended except by the
written agreement of the parties.
Section 15 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all
applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any
jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform
to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it
is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining
provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
Section 17 Termination. Upon payment and performance in full of all
Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and Secured Party shall promptly
execute and deliver to Debtor such documents and instruments reasonably
requested by Debtor as shall be necessary to evidence termination of all
security interests given by Debtor to Secured Party hereunder, including
cancellation of this Agreement by written notice from Secured Party to the PTO;
provided, however, that the obligations of Debtor under Section 11 hereof shall
survive such termination.
Section 18 Security Agreement. Debtor acknowledges that the rights and
remedies of Secured Party with respect to the security interests in the
Intellectual Property Collateral granted hereby are more fully set forth in the
Security Agreement and all such rights and remedies are cumulative.
Section 19 No Inconsistent Requirements. Debtor acknowledges that this
Agreement and the Security Agreement may contain covenants and other terms and
provisions variously stated regarding the same or similar matters, and the
Debtor agrees that all such covenants, terms and provisions are cumulative and
all shall be performed and satisfied in accordance with their respective terms.
Section 20 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between
this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control.
