Each Schedule shall constitute a complete and separate loan and security agreement, independent of all other Schedules, and without any requirement of being accompanied by an originally executed copy of this Master Security Agreement. The term “Security Agreement” when used herein shall refer to an individual Schedule.
One originally executed copy of the Schedule shall be denominated “Originally Executed Copy No. 1 of 1 originally executed copies” and such copy shall be retained by Security Party.

apply the funds to the payment of the indebtedness owing to Secured Party, provided, however, Secured Party is under no obligation to do any of the ongoing.
Should Debtor fail to furnish such insurance policy to Secured Party, or to maintain such policy in full force or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto then Secured Party, without waiving or releasing any default or obligation by Debtor may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain insurance and pay the premium therefore on behalf of Debtor and charge the premium to Debtor’s indebtedness under this Security Agreement. The full amount of any such premium paid by Secured Party shall be payable by Debtor upon demand and failure to pay same shall continue an event of default under this Security Agreement.
9. Events of Default Acceleration.
A very important element of this Security Agreement is that Debtor make all its payments promptly as agreed upon. It is essential that the Collateral remain in good condition and adequate security for the indebtedness. The following are events of default under this Security Agreement which will allow Secured Party to take such action under this Paragraph and under paragraph 10 as it deems necessary:
(a)   any of Debtor’s obligations to Secured Party under any agreement with Secured Party is not paid promptly when due;
(b)   Debtor breaches any warranty or provision hereof, or of any note or of any other instrument or agreement delivered by Debtor to Secured Party in connection with this or any other transaction;
(c)   Debtor dies, becomes insolvent or ceases to do business as a going concern;
(d)   it is determined that Debtor has given Secured Party materially misleading information regarding its financial condition;
(e)   any of the Collateral is lost or destroyed;
(f)   a complaint in bankruptcy or for arrangement or reorganization or for relief under any insolvency law is filed by or against Debtor or Debtor admits its inability to pay its debts as they mature;
(g)   property of Debtor is attached or receiver is appointed for Debtor;
(h)   whenever Secured Party in good faith believes the prospect of payment or performance is impaired or in good faith believes the Collateral is insecure;
(i)   any guarantor, surety or endorser for Debtor dies or defaults in any obligation or liability to Secured Party or any guaranty obtained in connection with this transaction is terminated or breached.
If Debtor shall be in default hereunder, the indebtedness described in each Schedule and all other indebtedness then owing by Debtor to Secured Party under this or any other present or future agreement (collectively the “Indebtedness”) shall, if Secured Party shall so elect become immediately due and payable. After acceleration:
(a)   the unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness described in any Schedule in which interest has been precomputed shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum (or, if less the maximum rate permitted by law) until paid in full; and
(b)   the unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness described in any Schedule in which interest has not been precomputed shall bear interest at the same rate as before acceleration until paid in full.
In no event shall the Debtor upon demand by Secured Party for payment of the indebtedness by acceleration of the maturity thereof or otherwise, be obligated to pay any interest in excess of the amount permitted by law. Any acceleration of the indebtedness, if elected by Secured Party shall be subject to all applicable laws including laws relating to rebates and refunds of unearned charges.
10. Secured Party’s Remedies After Default; Consent to Enter Premises.
Upon Debtor’s default and at any time thereafter, Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable laws, including the right to any deficiency remaining after disposition of the Collateral for which Debtor hereby agrees to remain fully liable. Debtor agrees that Secured Party, by itself or its agent may without notice to any person and without judicial process of any kind, enter into any premises or upon any land owned, leased or otherwise under the real or apparent control of Debtor or any agent of Debtor where the Collateral may be, or where Secured Party believes the Collateral may be, and disassemble, render unusable and/or repossess all or any item of the collateral, disconnecting and separating all Collateral from any other property and using all force necessary. Debtor expressly waives all further rights to possession of the Collateral after default and all claims for injuries suffered through or loss caused by such entering and/or repossession. Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and return it to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties.
     
2004 (7/98) Master Security Agreement   Page 3 of 8


 

Secured Party may sell or lease the Collateral at a time and location of its choosing provided that the Secured Party acts in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Secured Party will give Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made. Unless otherwise provided by law the requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to the address of Debtor shown herein at least ten days before the time of the sale or disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like shall include reasonable attorneys fees (at least 15% of the outstanding principal balance if not prohibited by law) and other legal expenses. Debtor understands that Secured Party’s rights are cumulative and not alternative.
11. Waiver of Defaults; Agreement inclusive.
Secured Party may in its sole discretion waive a default, or cure, at Debtor’s expense, a default. Any such waiver in a particular instance or of a particular default shall not be a waiver of other defaults or the same kind of default at another time. No modification or change in this Security Agreement or any related note. Instrument or agreement shall bind Secured Party unless in writing signed by Secured Party. No oral agreement shall be binding.
12. Financing Statements; Certain Expenses.
If permitted by law Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file a financing statement with respect to the Collateral signed only by Secured Party, and to file a carbon, photograph or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or of a financing statement. At the request of Secured Party, Debtor will execute any financing statements, agreements or documents. In form satisfactory to Secured Party which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to establish and maintain a perfected security interest in the Collateral and will pay the cost of filing or recording the same in at public offices deemed necessary or advisable by Secured Party. Debtor also agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in conducting UCC, tax or other lien searches against the Debtor of the Collateral and such other fees as may be agreed.
13. Waiver of Defenses Acknowledgment.
If Secured Party assigns this Security Agreement to a third party (“Assignee”), then after such assignment:
(a)   Debtor will make all payments directly to such Assignee at such place as Assignee may from time to time designate in writing;
 
(b)   Debtor agrees that it will some all claims, defenses, setoffs and counterclaims it may have against Secured Party directly with Secured Party and will not set up any such claim, defense, setoffs or counterclaim against Assignee, Secured Party hereby agreeing to remain responsible therefor,
 
(c)   Secured Party shall not be Assignee’s agent for any purpose and shall have no authority to change or modify this Security Agreement or any related document or instrument; and
 
(d)   Assignee shall have all of the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder but none of Secured Party’s obligations.

Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, the Debtor shall have no right to prepay the indebtedness described in any Schedule. Debtor acknowledges receipt of a true copy and waives acceptance hereof.
