the future annexed to or made a part of this Agreement ("COLLATERAL SCHEDULE"),
and in and against all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions to

Party asserts a purchase money security interest in any items of Collateral
("PMSI COLLATERAL"): (i) the PMSI Collateral shall secure only that portion of
the Indebtedness which has been advanced by Secured Party to enable Debtor to
purchase, or acquire rights in or the use of such PMSI Collateral (the "PMSI
INDEBTEDNESS"), and (ii) no other Collateral shall secure the PMSI Indebtedness.

any or all of the Collateral unusable at the Debtor's premises and may dispose
of such Collateral on such premisess. Any notice that Secured Party is required
to give to Debtor under the Uniform Commercial Code of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended

incurred by Secured Party in connection with the enforcement, assertion, defense

if prohibited by law, such lesser sum as may be permitted. Debtor further agrees
that such fees and costs shall constitute Indebtedness.
(f) Secured Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise
arising are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Neither
the failure nor any delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude
any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or privilege.

AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR PAPER SIGNED BY DEBTOR

(a) This Agreement, any Note and/or any of the other Debt Documents may be
assigned, in whole or in part, by Secured Party without notice to Debtor, and
Debtor agrees not to assert against any such assignee, or assignee's assigns,
any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim which Debtor has or may
at any time have against Secured Party for any reason whatsoever. Debtor may
assert any claim it has against Secured Party in a separate legal action against

upon payment or otherwise, of any Note or any of the other documents evidencing
any of the Indebtedness shall not affect the right of Secured Party to retain
the Collateral for such other Indebtedness as may then exist. This Agreement
shall automatically be reinstated if Secured Party is ever required to return or
restore the payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness (all as though
such payment had never been made).
