4. Collections and Credits
Until notice in writing from Lender of the revocation of Borrower's authority, Borrower
will, as agent of Lender, at Borrower's own cost and expense and subject at any time or times to

due, any and all amounts including interest, owing under or on account of each account .

Lender may deem proper.
C. Receive or cause to be received in trust for account of Lender such goods as may
be returned or rejected by or repossessed from purchasers who purchased such goods
under account s, and hold such goods and any proceeds from them separate and identified
by suitable markings as Lender's property, without intermingling the same with
Borrower's goods, and remit promptly any proceeds of sale of such goods for deposit in
the collateral account .
D. Allow such credits to account debtor s, whether or not accompanied by the return,
rejection, or repossession of all or any part of the goods sold, as Lender or Borrower may
determine to be right and proper, provided, always, that Borrower shall make full
account ing and payment to Lender for such credits pursuant to Section 5. Borrower may
not, without prior written consent of Lender, extend the time within which any account is
due and payable .
5. Collateral Account
All proceeds of collections on account shall, immediately on receipt of them by
Borrower, be deposited in the form received, except for Borrower's endorsement when
necessary, in a separate bank account maintained by the Lender (all such account s collectively
called the collateral account) and shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided for in this
Agreement. Until so deposited all such proceeds shall be held in trust by Borrower for and as the
property of Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower.
All instruments so received shall be deposited in the collateral account subject to final payment.
In the event that any check or other instrument for the payment of money shall be returned
uncollected for any reason, Borrower will immediately pay to Lender for deposit in the
collateral account the amount of such check or other instrument, or Lender in its discretion may,
in the event of Borrower's failure to make such payment, charge Borrower's regular account with
Lender with the amount of such check or other instrument.
A. Deposits in the collateral account shall be security for the liability and shall not
constitute payment until applied as provided below. Borrower shall have the liability of a
general endorser with respect to all instruments deposited in the account , whether or not
Borrower shall have so endorsed the same.
B. Lender, in its discretion, may charge the collateral account at any time or times
and at least once every _________ (number) days with the amount of collected funds to
the credit of the collateral account , apply on account of all or any of the liabilities then
unpaid any or all of the amount so charged, and then remit any balance of the amount so
charged to Borrower for Borrower's account . All such applications on loans under this
Agreement shall be made in the order of inception of the loans.
6. Expenses
Borrower will, on demand, promptly pay to Lender the amount of all expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses, incurred by Lender in seeking to collect or enforce
any rights under the collateral and, on a default on Borrower's part under this Agreement, in
seeking to collect each Note and all other liabilities and to enforce rights under this Agreement.
7. General Authority
Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower's true and lawful attorney, with full
power of substitution, in Lender's name or Borrower's name or otherwise, for Lender's sole use
and benefit, but at Borrower's cost and expense, to exercise at any time and from time to time all
or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the account s:
A. To demand, sue for, collect, receive, and give acquittance for any and all moneys
due or to become due on or by virtue of the account ;
B. To receive, take, endorse, assigns and deliver any and all checks, Note s, drafts,
documents, and other negotiable and nonnegotiable instruments and chattel paper taken
or received by Lender in connection with the account ;
C. To settle, compromise, compound, prosecute, or defend any action or proceeding
with respect to the account ;
D. To sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise deal in or with the account or the proceeds
of the same or the related goods, as fully and effectually as if Lender were the absolute
owner of the same; and
E. To extend the time of payment of any or all of the account s and to make any
allowance and other adjustments with reference to the same.
Provided, however, the exercise by Lender of or failure to so exercise any such authority
shall in no manner affect Borrower's liability to Lender under this Agreement or under each
Note , and provided, further, that Lender shall be under no obligation or duty to exercise any of
the powers conferred on it by this Agreement and it shall be without liability for any act or
failure to act in connection with the collection of, or the preservation of any rights under, any one
or more of the account s. Lender shall not be bound to take any steps necessary to preserve rights
in any instruments or chattel paper against prior parties.
8. Events of Default; Acceleration
Any or all of the liabilities shall, at the option of Lender and notwithstanding any time or
credit allowed by any instruments evidencing any liability, become immediately due and payable
without notice or demand upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:
A. Default in the payment, when due and payable, of any amount due and payable
under this Agreement or default in the payment or performance of any of the liabilities ;
B. Default in the performance of any obligation or covenant contained or referred to

which, in the opinion of Lender, impairs Lender's security or increases its risk.
9. Rights and Remedies on Default
On the occurrence of any such event of default, and at any time after default, Lender may
exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law. Lender
may require Borrower to assemble the collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be
designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Any notice of intended
disposition of any of the collateral required by law shall be deemed reasonable if such notice is
given at least ________ (number) days before the time of such disposition. Any proceeds of any
disposition by Lender of any of the collateral may be applied by Lender to the payment of
expenses in connection with the collateral , including reasonable attorney's fees and legal
expenses, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by Lender toward the payment of
such of the liabilities , in such order of application, as Lender may from time to time elect.
10. No Waiver
The failure of either party to this Agreement to insist upon the performance of any of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, or the waiver of any breach of any of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as subsequently waiving any such terms and
conditions, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect as if no such
forbearance or waiver had occurred.

deemed sufficiently given when sent by certified or registered mail if sent to the respective

the other, provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement and Lender's security interest

to Lender in full, together with all interest, if any, on such liabilities , and Lender then shall, upon
Borrower's written request, release the security interest under this Agreement and this Agreement
shall terminate. Prior to such termination this shall be a continuing Agreement in every respect.
