Insurance. To maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by corporations of established reputation engaged in the same or similar businesses and similarly situated, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other corporations.

Debtor shall pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and government charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, any item of Collateral, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and adequate reserves are being maintained in connection therewith.

Rights.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor expressly agrees that in any such event Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Debtor or any other person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may (i) reclaim, take possession, recover, store, maintain, finish, repair, prepare for sale or lease, shop, advertise for sale or lease and sell or lease (in the manner provided herein) the Collateral, and in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral and collection of the accounts receivable pledged as Collateral, use any Trademark, copyright or process used or owned by Debtor and (ii) forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of Secured Party offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. To the extent Debtor has the right to do so, Debtor authorizes Secured Party, on the terms set forth in this Section 8 to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contact, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which, in the opinion of Secured Party, appears to be prior or superior to its security interest. Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption Debtor hereby releases. Debtor further agrees, at Secured Party's request, to assemble his Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at places which Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at Debtor's premises or elsewhere. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. Debtor agrees that Secured Party need not give more than ten (10) days' notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters.

Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Secured Party under this Agreement shall be cumulative. The Secured Party shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Secured Party of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Secured Party of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Secured Party shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

Disposition of Collateral. Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral under this Section 8 in the following order: first, to the payment of all its expenses incurred in retaking, holding, and preparing any of the Collateral for sale or other disposition, in arranging for such sale or other disposition, and in actually selling or disposing of the same (all of which are part of the obligations secured by this Agreement); second, toward repayment of amounts expended by Secured Party under Section 7; third, toward payment of the balance of the obligations secured by this Agreement in such order and manner as Secured Party, in its discretion, may deem advisable, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, fourth, to Debtor. If the proceeds are insufficient to pay the obligations secured by this Agreement in full, Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency, Debtor also being liable for the attorney costs of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. The Collateral may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by Debtor in the ordinary course of business for a fair consideration and upon commercial credit terms.

Financing Statement. Debtor shall sign and execute alone or with the Secured Party any financing statements, notices or other document or procure any document reasonably requested by the Secured Party in order to create, perfect or continue the security interest created by this Agreement.

Waiver of Demand, Etc. Debtor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any of the obligations, and any and all other demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the obligations and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or demand on Debtor which the Secured Party may elect to give shall entitle Debtor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Indemnification. Debtor hereby assumes all liability for the Collateral, for the Security Interest, and for any use, possession, maintenance, and management of, all or any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any taxes arising as a result of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated herein, and agrees to assume liability for, and to indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless from and against, any and all claims, causes of action, or liability, for injuries to or deaths of persons and damage to property, howsoever arising from or incident to such use, possession, maintenance, and management, whether such persons be agents or employees of Debtor or of third parties, or such damage be to property of Debtor or of others. Debtor agrees to indemnify, save, and hold Secured Party harmless from and against, and covenants to defend Secured Party against, any and all losses, damages, claims, costs, penalties, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, howsoever arising or incurred because of, incident to, or with respect to Collateral or any use, possession, maintenance, or management thereof (a "Claim"). In the event that any Claim is brought against Secured Party, Secured Party agrees to give prompt written notice to Debtor with respect to same, together with a copy of such claim, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall have the right in good faith and by appropriate proceedings to defend Secured Party against such Claim and employ counsel acceptable to Secured Party to conduct such defense (at Debtor's sole expense) so long as such defense shall not involve any danger of the foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss, or imposition of any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on any part of the Collateral, or subject Secured Party to criminal liability.
