Certain of the matters discussed in the following pages, particularly
regarding estimates of the number and locations of new restaurants that the
Company intends to open during fiscal 1998 and 1999, constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and,
in addition to the factors discussed in this Form 10-QSB, among the other

acceptable terms, obtain additional capital necessary for expansion on
acceptable terms, open new restaurants in a timely manner, hire and train
additional restaurant personnel and integrate new restaurants into its
operations; the continued implementation of the Company's business discipline
over a growing restaurant base; the economic conditions in the new markets
into which the Company expands and possible uncertainties in the customer
base in these areas; changes in customer dining patterns; competitive
pressures from other national and regional restaurant chains; business
conditions, such as inflation or a recession, and growth in the restaurant
industry and the general economy; any impact of the Year 2000 issue,
especially with regard to the Company and vendors; changes in monetary and
fiscal policies, laws and regulations; and other risks identified from time
to time in the Company's SEC reports, registration statements and public
announcements.

CAFE ODYSSEY, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 AND SEPTEMBER 28, 1997
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Cafe Odyssey, Inc. (the Company) owns and operates two restaurants, one in
Cincinnati, Ohio (the Kenwood Restaurant), which operates under the trade name
"Hotel Discovery", and one in the Mall of America in a suburb of Minneapolis,
Minnesota (the Mall of America Restaurant), which operates under the trade name
"Cafe Odyssey." The Kenwood Restaurant opened under the name "Hotel Mexico" on
December 19, 1996. The Mall of America Restaurant opened on June 8, 1998. Prior
to the opening of the Kenwood Restaurant, the Company was in the development
stage.
The Company's predecessor, Hotel Mexico (HMI), was originally incorporated in
January 1994 as an Ohio corporation. The Kenwood Restaurant Limited Partnership,
an Ohio limited partnership (the Kenwood Partnership), was formed in June 1995
for the purpose of owning and operating the Kenwood Restaurant. HMI's operations
and the net assets of the Kenwood Partnership were combined on November 14,
1996. On that date, the Kenwood Partnership contributed all of its net assets
totalling $1,567,197 to a newly formed corporation in exchange for shares of
such corporation. HMI, with total net assets of $631,966, then merged with and
into the newly formed corporation, the name of which remained Hotel Mexico, Inc.
(hereafter, Hotel Mexico). Upon consummation of the merger, all outstanding
shares of Hotel Mexico were converted into an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of
Common Stock of the newly formed corporation.
The shares of Hotel Mexico Common Stock received by the Kenwood Partnership in
the reorganization were retained by the Kenwood Partnership until the effective
date of the Company's initial public offering, at which time the shares of
Common Stock and all other partnership assets were distributed to the general
and limited partners in accordance with the partnership agreement and the
Kenwood Partnership was dissolved.
On August 22, 1997, Hotel Mexico merged with and into Hotel Discovery, Inc., a
newly formed Minnesota corporation. The Company has an authorized capital stock
of 100,000,000 undesignated shares, and each share of Common Stock of Hotel
Mexico was converted into one share of the Company's Common Stock.
On February 25, 1998, the Company changed the name of its restaurant concept
from Hotel Discovery to Cafe Odyssey. The Company believes that the new name
better reflects the concept's primary focus on award-winning food, served in a
unique environment of adventure, imagination, exploration and innovation. In
conjunction with this action, the Company's Board of Directors and shareholders
approved a change in its corporate name from Hotel Discovery, Inc. to Cafe
Odyssey, Inc. The Cafe Odyssey name is being used for the Mall of America
Restaurant and will be used for all subsequent restaurants. At the present time,
the Company intends to retain the name "Hotel Discovery" for the Kenwood
Restaurant because of its already established name.
On May 21, 1998, the Company changed its corporate name from Hotel Discovery,
Inc. to Cafe Odyssey, Inc. to reflect the change in the name of its restaurant
concept to Cafe Odyssey. In conjunction with this change, the Company's symbols
for its Units, Common Stock and Class A Warrants on the Nasdaq SmallCap market
were changed from HOTDU, HOTD and HOTDW to CODYU, CODY and CODYW, respectively,
effective May 24, 1998.
Future revenue and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including
market acceptance of the Hotel Discovery/Cafe Odyssey concept, the quality of
the restaurant operations, the ability to expand to multi-unit locations and
general economic conditions. The Company's present source of revenue is limited
to its existing restaurants. There can be no assurances the Company will
successfully implement its expansion plans, in which case it will continue to be
dependent on the revenues from the existing restaurants. The Company also faces
all of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection
with the expansion and development of a new and expanding business. Furthermore,
to the extent the Company's expansion strategy is successful, it must manage the
transition to multiple-site operations, higher volume operations, the control of
overhead expenses and the addition of necessary personnel.
2. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although management believes that the
7
<PAGE> 8
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is
suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with
the Company's most recent 10-KSB dated December 28, 1997. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made.
Operating results for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September
27, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ended January 3, 1999.
The Company has adopted a 52-53-week accounting period ending on the Sunday
nearest December 31 of each year.
3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which was adopted by the Company as of December 29, 1997,
established standards of disclosure and financial statement display for
reporting total comprehensive income and the individual components thereof. The
adoption of SFAS No. 130 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations as comprehensive income and net
income were the same for all periods presented.
In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which
requires disclosure of basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS, which
replace the existing primary EPS and fully diluted EPS, as defined by Accounting
Principles Board (APB) No.15. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the
year. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to primary EPS as previously reported
provided that, when applying the treasury stock method to common equivalent
shares, the Company must use its average share price for the period rather than
the more dilutive greater of the average share price or end-of-period share
price required by APB No.15. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 had no effect on the
Company's September 28, 1997 EPS data.
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting of the Costs of Start-up
Activities" was adopted by the Company as of December 29, 1997. SOP 98-5
requires companies to expense as incurred all start-up and pre-opening costs
that are not otherwise capitalizable as long-lived assets. The adoption of the
new accounting standard had no effect on the Company, as all pre-opening costs
have been expensed as incurred since inception.
4. DEBT
In September 1998, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 revolving line of
credit facility with a financial institution. This credit facility is secured
by an open-ended leasehold mortgage, security agreement and assignment of
rents, income and proceeds ("Mortgage"), which Mortgage encumbers the leasehold
improvements of the Kenwood Restaurant. In addition, certain directors of the
Company entered into a joint and several limited guaranty of $1,000,000 of the
Company's borrowings under this credit facility. In consideration of these
guarantees, the Company issued 40,000 five-year warrants to each of these
individuals at an exercise price of $0.75 per share in November 1998. Based on
the guarantees existent as of September 27, 1998, $1,000,000 of the line of
credit was available to the Company. Subsequent to September 27, 1998,
guarantees for the other $2,000,000 were obtained. Two of the directors also
each severally guaranteed another $500,000, and the other director guaranteed
another $1,000,000, of such borrowings. All three individuals pledged certain
collateral to the financial institution in connection with the latter
guarantees. In exchange for such guarantees and pledges of collateral, the
Company issued 200,000 five-year warrants each to two of the directors, and
400,000 five-year warrants to the other director, all at an exercise price of
$0.75 per share in November 1998. The Board of Directors of the Company also
authorized the issuance of additional warrants and the payment of cash penalties
to the three directors if the borrowings are not repaid in full by September
30, 1999. This credit facility provides for monthly payments of interest
accrued on the outstanding unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to the
Prime Rate, or 8.25% as of September 27, 1998. As of September 27, 1998, the
Company had borrowings of $1,000,000 under this credit facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in connection with the Company's
financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this
report.
OVERVIEW
The Company was formed in January 1994 as an Ohio corporation to develop, own
and operate upscale, casual themed restaurants under the name "Hotel Mexico."
The Company opened its first restaurant in the Kenwood Shopping Center in
Cincinnati, Ohio (the "Kenwood Restaurant") in December 1996 under the trade
name "Hotel Mexico." The Company subsequently renamed its Kenwood Restaurant
"Hotel Discovery," under which name this restaurant continues to operate. Prior
to opening the Kenwood Restaurant, the Company had no revenues and its
activities were devoted solely to development. The Company opened its second
restaurant under the trade name "Cafe Odyssey" in the Mall of America (the "Mall
of America Restaurant") in Bloomington, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, on
June 8, 1998. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company entered into a
lease agreement for approximately 18,000 square feet of space in the Denver
Pavilions, an urban retail/entertainment complex currently under construction in
downtown Denver, Colorado. The Company expects to open a Cafe Odyssey restaurant
in the Denver Pavilions leased space in the first quarter of 1999.
Future revenue and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including
market acceptance of the Hotel Discovery/Cafe Odyssey concept, the quality of
the restaurant operations, the ability to expand to multi-unit locations and
general economic conditions. The Company's present source of revenue is limited
to its existing restaurants. There can be no assurance the Company will
successfully implement its expansion plans, in which case it will continue to be
dependent on the revenues from the existing restaurants. The Company also faces
all of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection
with the expansion and development of a new and expanding business. Furthermore,
to the extent the Company's expansion strategy is successful, it must manage the
transition to multiple-site operations, higher volume operations, the control of
overhead expenses and the addition of necessary personnel.
The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest
December 31 of each year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 AND
SEPTEMBER 28, 1997
For the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 1998 (hereinafter, "third quarter of
1998"), the Company had net sales of $2,522,048 compared to $839,171 for the
thirteen weeks ended September 28, 1997 (hereinafter, "third quarter of 1997").
The increase in sales is attributable to the opening of the Mall of America
Restaurant in the second quarter of 1998, offset by a decline in sales at the
Kenwood Restaurant for the third quarter of 1998 as compared to the third
quarter of 1997 during which the Kenwood Restaurant was "re-opened" as "Hotel
Discovery."
For the third quarter of 1998, food, beverage and retail costs were $701,781 or
27.8% of sales compared to $252,820 or 30.1% of sales for the third quarter of
1997. The improvement in food, beverage and retail costs as a percentage of
sales is due primarily to improved food and beverage controls and menu
management in both the Mall of America Restaurant and the Kenwood Restaurant.
For the third quarter of 1998, labor, benefits and other direct restaurant
operating expenses were $1,745,863 or 69.2% of sales compared to $567,220 or
67.6% of sales for the third quarter of 1997. This increase in labor, benefits
and other direct restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of sales is due
primarily as a result of operating inefficiencies at the Kenwood Restaurant,
caused by the inability to leverage some relatively fixed operating costs
against the lower sales levels experienced at the Kenwood Restaurant. This
effect was partially offset by better efficiencies at the Mall of America
Restaurant, which allowed better leverage of operating costs against the higher
sales levels experienced at the Mall of America Restaurant.
For the third quarter of 1998, the Company had a net loss of $986,446 compared
to a net loss of $941,919 for the
9
<PAGE> 10
third quarter of 1997. The net loss for the third quarter of 1998 is primarily
attributable to operating losses at the Kenwood Restaurant, general and
administrative expenses associated with building the senior management team to
execute the Company's growth plans and the initial pre-opening costs for the
Company's third restaurant in Denver. The net loss for the third quarter of 1997
was largely attributable to expenses incurred in repositioning the Company's
trade name from Hotel Mexico to Hotel Discovery, general and administrative
expenses associated with building a senior management team to execute the
Company's growth plans and the initial pre-opening costs for the Company's Mall
of America restaurant. Continued development of the Company's concept and
execution of the Company's growth strategy will impact pre-opening and general
and administrative expenses on an ongoing basis.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 AND
SEPTEMBER 28, 1997
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 1998 (hereinafter, "first three
quarters of 1998"), the Company had net sales of $4,522,043 compared to
$2,703,735 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 1997 (hereinafter,
"first three quarters of 1997"). The increase in sales is attributable to the
opening of the Mall of America Restaurant in the second quarter of 1998, offset
by a decline in sales at the Kenwood Restaurant for the first three quarters of
1998 as compared to its post-grand opening in the first quarter of 1997 and its
re-opening as "Hotel Discovery" in the third quarter of 1997.
For the first three quarters of 1998, food, beverage and retail costs were
$1,263,784 or 27.9% of sales compared to $864,935 or 32.0% of sales for the
first three quarters of 1997. The improvement in food, beverage and retail costs
as a percentage of sales is due primarily to better efficiencies from food and
beverage controls and waste management at the higher volume Mall of America
Restaurant and improved food and beverage controls and menu management at the
Kenwood Restaurant.
For the first three quarters of 1998, labor, benefits and other direct
restaurant operating expenses were $3,305,369 or 73.1% of sales compared to
$2,205,577 or 81.6% of sales for the first three quarters of 1997. This
improvement in labor, benefits and other direct restaurant operating expenses as
a percentage of sales is due primarily as a result of improved operating
efficiencies at the Kenwood Restaurant in the first half of 1998 as compared to
its start-up operations in the first half of 1997, as well as the better
efficiencies in leveraging operating costs against the higher sales levels
experienced at the Mall of America Restaurant.
For the first three quarters of 1998, the Company had a net loss of $3,527,297
compared to a net loss of $2,623,610 for the first three quarters of 1997. The
net loss for the first three quarters of 1998 is primarily attributable to
operating losses at the Kenwood Restaurant, start-up operations at the Mall of
America Restaurant, general and administrative expenses associated with building
a senior management team to execute the Company's growth plans, costs associated
with repositioning the Company's trade name to Cafe Odyssey from Hotel Discovery
and pre-opening costs for the Mall of America and Denver restaurants. The net
loss for the first three quarters of 1997 was largely attributable to the
start-up operations at the Kenwood Restaurant, costs associated with
repositioning the trade name to Hotel Discovery from Hotel Mexico and initial
pre-opening costs for the Mall of America restaurant. Continued development of
the Company's concept and execution of the Company's growth strategy will impact
pre-opening and general and administrative expenses on an ongoing basis.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since Inception, the Company's principal capital requirements have been (i) the
development of the Company and the Hotel Discovery/Cafe Odyssey concept, (ii)
the construction of the Kenwood Restaurant and the acquisition of furniture,
fixtures and equipment therein (iii) the development and construction of the
Mall of America Restaurant and the Denver Restaurant and (iv) the funding of
operating cash flow deficits. Total capital expenditures for the Kenwood
Restaurant were approximately $5.1 million, net of landlord contributions. Total
capital expenditures for the Mall of America Restaurant were approximately $5.0
million, net of landlord contributions of approximately $1.6 million, minimum
rent abatement of approximately $405,000 and approximately $308,000 in one-time
production and mold costs that will be allocated to the Company's next two
restaurants.
The Company's primary sources of working capital have been proceeds from the
sale of Common Stock to and
10
<PAGE> 11
borrowings from its principal shareholder, chairman and founder, Stephen D.
King, the private placement of Common Stock and debt, equipment lease financing,
as well as the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering of Units in
November 1997. For the first three quarters of 1998 and 1997, the Company used
$3,303,436 and $2,595,131, respectively, in cash flow for operating activities.
As of September 27, 1998, the Company had working capital of $376,112.
In November 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,500,000
Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one redeemable
Class A Warrant at an initial public offering price of $5.00 per Unit. In
December 1997, the Company issued an additional 100,000 Units to its principal
underwriter, R.J. Steichen & Company, pursuant to the underwriter's decision to
exercise a portion of its over-allotment option. The Company received net
proceeds of approximately $11.2 million in conjunction with the initial public
offering and the partial exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment.
The Class A Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at any time, on
not less than 30 days' written notice, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant at any
time following a period of 14 consecutive trading days where the per share
average closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock exceeds $7.00 (subject
to adjustment), provided that a current prospectus covering the shares issuable
upon the exercise of the Class A Warrants is then effective under federal
securities laws. For these purposes, the closing bid price of the Common Stock
shall be determined by the last reported sale price on the primary exchange on
which the Common Stock is traded.
In September 1998, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 revolving line of
credit facility with The Provident Bank. This credit facility is secured by an
open-ended leasehold mortgage, security agreement and assignment of rents,
income and proceeds ("Mortgage"), which Mortgage encumbers the leasehold
improvements of the Kenwood Restaurant. In addition, Stephen D. King, the
Chairman of the Company, and Jerry L. Ruyan and Greg C. Mosher, directors of the
Company, entered into a joint and several guaranty of $1,000,000 of the
Company's borrowings under this credit facility. In consideration of these
guarantees, the Company issued 40,000 five-year warrants to each of these
individuals at an exercise price of $0.75 per share in November 1998. Messrs.
King and Ruyan also each severally guaranteed another $500,000, and Mr. Mosher
severally guaranteed another $1,000,000, of such borrowings. All three
individuals pledged certain collateral to The Provident Bank in connection with
the latter guarantees. In exchange for such guarantees and pledges of
collateral, the Company issued 200,000 five-year warrants to each of Messrs.
King and Ruyan, and 400,000 five-year warrants to Mr. Mosher, all at an exercise
price of $0.75 per share in November 1998. The Board of Directors of the Company
also authorized the issuance of additional warrants and the payment of cash
penalties to Messrs. King, Ruyan and Mosher if the borrowings from The Provident
Bank are not repaid in full by September 30, 1999. This credit facility provides
for monthly payments of interest accrued on the outstanding unpaid principal
balance at a rate equal to the Prime Rate, or 8.25% as of September 27, 1998. As
of September 27, 1998, the Company had borrowings of $1,000,000 under this
credit facility.
The Company intends to open up to two restaurants in 1999. The Company estimates
that its capital expenditures (excluding any landlord contributions) will be
approximately $9 to $12 million in fiscal 1998 and $3 to $10 million in fiscal
1999. The Company expects to finance its concept development and expansion
through cash flow from operations, the exercise of its Class A Warrants and
other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt
securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. There are no assurances
that such financing will be available on terms acceptable or favorable to the
Company.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
INTRODUCTION. The term "Year 2000" is used to describe general problems that may
result from improper processing of dates and date-sensitive calculations by
computers or other machinery as the year 2000 is approached and reached. This
problem stems from the fact that many of the world's computer hardware and
software applications have historically used only the last two digits to refer
to a year. As a result, many of these computer programs do not or will not
properly recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of the familiar "19." If
not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous
results. The following information was prepared to comply with the guidelines
for Year 2000 disclosure that the Securities and Exchange Commission issued in
an Interpretative Release, effective August 4, 1998. These guidelines require
significantly more detailed information than was previously required by the
Commission.
11
<PAGE> 12
THE COMPANY'S STATE OF READINESS. To operate its business, the Company relies
on many third party information technology systems ("IT"), including its point
of sale, table seating and reservation management, inventory management, credit
card processing, payroll, accounts payable, fixed assets, banking and general
ledger systems. The Company does not maintain any proprietary IT systems and has
not made any modifications to any of the IT systems provided to it by its IT
vendors. The Company has requested that each of the vendors providing hardware
and software to run these systems ("IT vendors") complete a Year 2000 compliance
questionnaire. The Company has not yet received completed questionnaires from
all of its IT vendors. Of those questionnaires that have been completed, the
Company has been provided software upgrades and enhancements that, when
installed, will ensure that the information technology systems associated with
that particular vendor will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company expects that
all assurances and/or IT upgrades and enhancements from its IT vendors
will be completed and installed by June 1, 1999.
The Company also relies upon government agencies, utility companies, providers
of telecommunications services, food, beverage and retail product suppliers and
other third party product and service providers ("Material Relationships"), over
which it can assert little control. The Company's ability to conduct its core
business is dependent upon the ability of these Material Relationships to ensure
Year 2000 compliance, to the extent they affect the Company. If the
telecommunications carriers, public utilities, key food, beverage and retail
product suppliers and other Material Relationships do not appropriately rectify
their Year 2000 issues, the Company's ability to conduct its core business may
be materially impacted, which could result in a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition.
The Company has begun an assessment of all Material Relationships to determine
risk and assist in the development of contingency plans. This effort is expected
to be completed by April 1, 1999.
COSTS TO ADDRESS THE COMPANY'S YEAR 2000 ISSUES. The Company expenses costs
associated with its Year 2000 compliance efforts as the costs are incurred. The
Company has not yet incurred any expenses in connection with its Year 2000
compliance efforts to date, and estimates it will spend no more than $5,000 to
complete its Year 2000 compliance efforts. The Company estimates that the only
costs that it will incur in connection with its Year 2000 compliance efforts
will be in the testing phase, which will not occur until it has received
assurances from each of its IT vendors that their IT systems upon which the
Company relies are Year 2000 compliant. All costs associated with bringing these
IT systems into Year 2000 compliance are expected to be borne by the Company's
IT vendors. It is expected that the Company will have received these assurances
and will begin its testing phase by April 1, 1999. It should be noted, however,
that the Company is unable to estimate the costs that it may incur as a result
of Year 2000 problems suffered by its IT vendors and Material Relationships, and
that there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify and
rectify all its Year 2000 problems.
RISKS PRESENTED BY YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS. The Company has not yet begun the testing
phase of its Year 2000 compliance efforts. As a result, the Company cannot fully
assess the risks from any potential Year 2000 issues. Once the testing phase is
underway, which is expected to occur no later than April 1, 1999, the Company
may identify areas of its core business that are at risk of Year 2000
disruption. In addition, many of the Company's critical Material Relationships
may not appropriately address their Year 2000 issues, the result of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results
of operations.
THE COMPANY'S CONTINGENCY PLANS. Because the Company has not yet begun the
testing phase of its Year 2000 compliance efforts, and accordingly has not yet
fully assessed its risks from any potential Year 2000 issues, the Company has
not yet developed detailed contingency plans specific to Year 2000 issues for
any specific areas of business. The Company expects, however, to develop
detailed contingency plans specific to Year 2000 issues once the testing phase
of its Year 2000 compliance efforts is complete and its key risks have been
assessed.

ARTICLE 2
Representations and Warranties
2.1 Title. Mortgagor does hereby represent and warrant to Mortgagee
that it is lawfully seized of an indefeasible leasehold estate in and has good
absolute leasehold title to the Premises under the following lease ("Lease") and
Mortgagor has full power to convey the same and
<PAGE> 4
-4-
to execute this Mortgage; that the Premises are free, clear and unencumbered of
all easements, restrictions and liens whatsoever, except those easements,
restrictions and matters of record set forth in the title evidence delivered to
Mortgagee in connection herewith ("Permitted Encumbrances"); that Mortgagor does
warrant and will defend the title to the Premises against the claims and demands
of all persons whomsoever; that there are no suits or proceedings pending or
threatened against or affecting Mortgagor and/or the Premises; that Mortgagor
will keep and observe all of the terms of this Mortgage on Mortgagor's part to
be performed; that Mortgagor will make any further assurances of title that
Mortgagee may reasonably require; that the Lease is in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms and has not been amended or modified in any manner,
nor has any provision thereof been waived by either party thereto; and that no
event of default has occurred under the Lease and no event has occurred and is
continuing which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute
an event of default under any of the provisions thereof.
2.2 Mechanics Lien Matters. Mortgagor represents and warrants that no
notice of commencement (as identified in Ohio Revised Code Section 1311.04) as
to the Premises has been filed or will be filed, pertaining to construction work
which has not been fully paid, prior to the filing for record of this Mortgage
and that Mortgagor shall promptly provide Mortgagee with a copy of all notices

Mortgagor.
ARTICLE 3
Covenants
Mortgagor further covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
3.1 Payments. To pay to Mortgagee, when due, the principal balance of
the Note with interest thereon and all other late charges, penalties and/or
prepayment penalties, all in accordance with the terms of the Note and to pay
all other Indebtedness Hereby Secured at the times and in the manner herein and
therein provided, including without limitation any indebtedness at any time
owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, whether separately secured or otherwise, now
owing or to be owed by Mortgagor, together with interest thereon.
3.2 Taxes and Other Impositions. To pay when due according to law, or
to cause to be paid when due according to law, all taxes, assessments and other
charges which are now due or may hereafter be imposed or assessed upon the

holder of this Mortgage and the Note by reason of ownership thereof, by any
authority, be it federal, state, county or city, including but not limited to
charges imposed upon the Premises under any applicable declaration of
condominium. Upon the failure of Mortgagor promptly to pay such taxes,
assessments and other charges, Mortgagee shall have the option to pay and
discharge the same without notice to Mortgagor, and any sum so expended by
Mortgagee shall at once become indebtedness owing from Mortgagor to Mortgagee,
shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor with interest thereon to the
extent legally enforceable at the rate of interest
<PAGE> 5
-5-
provided in the Note in the event of default and shall together be added to the
Indebtedness Hereby Secured. Upon the request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will
promptly provide Mortgagee with evidence of payment of the above taxes,
assessments and other charges imposed or assessed upon the Premises.
3.3 Insurance. For the term of this Mortgage, to obtain and keep in
full force and effect at the sole cost and expense of Mortgagor or cause to be
obtained and kept policies of insurance to: (a) maintain comprehensive general
public liability insurance covering the legal liability of Mortgagor against
claims for bodily injury, and/or property damage arising out of the use,
maintenance and/or operation of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto
and/or the conduct of Mortgagor's business in such amounts as Mortgagee may
require but in no event less than $1,000,000 for personal injury or death to one
person, $1,000,000 for personal injury or deaths in one accident and $1,000,000
for property damage; (b) maintain "broad form/special perils" insurance on any
and all Improvements and Personal Property located on the Premises against loss
by fire or other hazards in an amount not less than the full insurable value of
the Improvements located on the Premises as Mortgagee may require, but in no
event less than the principal balance of the Note; (c)in the event any of the
Premises is located within a hundred year flood plain or area designated as
subject to flood by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or other government
agency, or when required by any federal, state or local law, statute, regulation
or ordinance, maintain flood insurance in an amount Mortgagee deems appropriate;
(d) satisfy all applicable workers' compensation insurance requirements; (e)
maintain business interruption insurance in such amounts, and with such
coverages, as may be reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, such insurance to be
provided at such time as Mortgagee may specify but in no event later than the
commencement of occupancy by any tenant; (f) if there are pressure-fired vessels
on the Premises, maintain broad form boiler and machinery insurance on all
equipment and objects customarily covered by such insurance providing for full
repair and replacement cost coverage; (g) during the course of any construction
or repair of the Improvements on the Premises, maintain completed value
builder's risk insurance against "all risks of physical loss", including
collapse and transit coverage, in nonreporting form, covering the total value of
work performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished; (h) obtain and
maintain any other insurance concerning the Premises or operation of business
thereon as Mortgagee may reasonably require.
All such policies of insurance shall be written by a company or
companies acceptable to Mortgagee; shall have attached thereto the standard form
of Mortgagee clause; shall name Mortgagee as an additional insured on all
liability policies, lender loss payee and as mortgagee, without contribution;
shall be delivered to and held by Mortgagee; shall provide for thirty (30) days
prior written notice of cancellation or non-renewal to Mortgagee; shall have
attached thereto an agreed amount endorsement; shall include a provision stating
that the waiver of subrogation rights of the insured does not void the coverage;
shall contain endorsements that no act or negligence of the insured or any
occupant and no occupancy or use of the Premises for purposes more hazardous
than permitted by the terms of the policy, nor any breach of any warranty,
declaration or condition by the insured, will affect the validity or
enforceability of such insurance as against Mortgagee; shall
<PAGE> 6
-6-
contain the agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of set off,
counterclaim or deductions against Mortgagor.
Mortgagor shall furnish or shall cause to be furnished to
Mortgagee certificates of all required policies of insurance along with proof of
premiums paid for the current policy year and each subsequent year for the term
of this Mortgage. This Mortgage shall operate as an assignment to Mortgagee of
said policies of insurance, whether delivered or not. At the option of Mortgagee
the proceeds of loss under any policy of insurance, whether endorsed payable to
Mortgagee or not, may be applied in payment of the Note or any other sum secured
by this Mortgage, whether or not such sums are then due, or to the restoration
or replacement of any buildings on the Premises without in any way affecting the
lien of this Mortgage or the obligation of Mortgagor or any other person for
payment of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured.
If the Premises are sold following foreclosure or if Mortgagee
acquires title to the Premises, Mortgagee shall have all the right, title and
interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums
thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the Premises
prior to such sale or acquisition.
Upon the failure of Mortgagor to provide or cause to be provided
the aforesaid insurance, Mortgagee shall have the option to procure and maintain
such insurance without notice to Mortgagor. Any sum so expended by Mortgagee
shall at once become indebtedness owing from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall
immediately become due and payable by Mortgagor with interest thereon to the
extent legally enforceable, at the rate of interest provided in the Note in the
event of a default, and shall together be added to the Indebtedness Hereby
Secured.
3.4 Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposits. In the event of either (1)
Mortgagor's failure to pay all taxes and assessments pursuant to Section 3.2
herein or failure to maintain insurance in accordance with the terms of Section
3.3 herein, or (2) an Event of Default occurs under this Mortgage, Mortgagor
shall, at Mortgagee's request, pay to Mortgagee monthly on or before the first
day of each month, an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual premiums for the
insurance policies referred to hereinabove and the annual real estate taxes,
assessments, charges or claims, and any other items which at any time may be or
become a lien upon the Premises prior to the lien of this Mortgage. The amounts
so paid shall be security for the insurance premiums, real estate taxes and
other items and shall be used in payment thereof, if Mortgagor is not otherwise
in default hereunder. However, if pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage,
the whole amount of the unpaid principal debt becomes due and payable, Mortgagee
shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amount so held against the
entire Indebtedness Hereby Secured. At Mortgagee's option, Mortgagee from time
to time may waive, and after any such waiver, may reinstate the provisions of
this section requiring the monthly payments prescribed herein.
3.5 Condition of Property; Compliance with Law; Waste. To keep the
Premises in good condition and repair and to make all structural and
nonstructural repairs and maintenance
<PAGE> 7
-7-
necessary and to cause all repairs and maintenance to be done in a good and
workmanlike manner; to comply in all respects with all statutes, laws,
ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and orders which are applicable
to Mortgagor's business or properties; not to commit or permit waste on the
Premises or remove or permit the removal of any building, improvement or fixture
from the Premises; not to perform or permit any act which may in any way impair
the value of the Premises or allow changes in the use for which the Premises was
intended at the time this Mortgage was executed.
3.6 No Further Encumbrances; No Disposition; Management Changes. Not
to make, create or suffer to be made or created any sale, transfer, conveyance,
assignment or further encumbrance of the Premises, or any part thereof, or any
interest therein or any contract or agreement to do any of the same without
Mortgagee's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. A sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment means the conveyance by
Mortgagor of any legal or equitable right, title or interest in the Premises, or
any part thereof, whether such conveyance is voluntary or involuntary, by
outright sale, deed, installment sale contract, land contract, lease option
contract or any other method of transferring any interest in real property. Any
encumbrance means a lien, mortgage or any other encumbrance subordinate to
Mortgagee's Mortgage. Any change in the management of Mortgagor wherein Stephen
D. King shall no longer be Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mortgagor and
shall no longer hold a voting seat on the Board of Directors of Mortgagor, shall
not be made without the written consent of Mortgagee. Further, in the event of
default under any of the provisions of this Section 3.6, Mortgagee may, without
notice to Mortgagor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with
reference to this Mortgage in the same manner as with Mortgagor and may forbear
to sue or may extend time for payment without discharging or in anyway affecting
the liability of Mortgagor hereunder.
3.7 Condemnation. To promptly notify Mortgagee of any action or
proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or
indirect of the Premises, or part thereof, and Mortgagor shall appear in and
prosecute any such action or proceedings unless otherwise directed by Mortgagee
in writing. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option, as attorney
in fact for Mortgagor (which authorization shall be irrevocable) to commence,
appear in and prosecute, in Mortgagee's or Mortgagor's name, any action or
proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking of the Premises, whether

additional rents and other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor as tenant under
and pursuant to the provisions of the Lease, (ii) diligently perform and observe

as tenant thereunder, to be performed and observed, unless such performance or
observance shall be waived in writing by the Lessor, to the end that all things
shall be done which
<PAGE> 15
-15-
are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Mortgagor, as tenant under the
Lease, and (iii) promptly notify Mortgagee of the giving of any notice by the
Lessor under the Lease to Mortgagor of any default by Mortgagor in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the
Lease on the part of Mortgagor, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or
observed and deliver to Mortgagee a true copy of each such notice. Mortgagor
shall not without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, surrender the Lease or
terminate or cancel the Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the
Lease, in any respect, either orally or in writing, and Mortgagor hereby assigns
to Mortgagee, as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness Hereby
Secured and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Mortgage, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of
Mortgagor, as tenant under the Lease to surrender the leasehold estate created

the Lease, and any such surrender of the Lease, or termination, cancella tion,
modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Lease without
the prior written consent of Mortgagee, shall be void and of no force and
effect. If Mortgagor shall default in the performance or observance of any term,
covenant or condition of the Lease on the part of Mortgagor, as tenant
thereunder, to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality
of the other provisions of this Mortgage, and without waiving or releasing
Mortgagor from any of its obligations hereunder, Mortgagee shall have the right,
but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take
any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of the Lease on the part of Mortgagor, as tenant thereunder, to be
performed or observed on behalf of Mortgagor, to the end that the rights of
Mortgagee in, to and under the Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from
default. If Mortgagee shall make any payment or perform any act or take action
in accordance with the preceding sentence, then all sums expended and costs or
expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be paid by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand, and all such sums, costs or expenses shall
be deemed to be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and shall be repaid with
interest. In any such event, Mortgagee and any person designated by it shall
have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Premises at any time
and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. Mortgagor
shall, from time to time, use its best efforts to obtain from the Lessor under
the Lease such certifi cates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgagor
with the terms of the Lease as may be requested by Mortgagee.
NOW, THEREFORE, if Mortgagor shall well and truly pay and discharge the
Indebtedness Hereby Secured as the same shall become due and payable and
Mortgagor shall perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions
to be performed and observed by Mortgagor hereunder, then this conveyance shall
be null and void and shall be released by Mortgagee at the expense of Mortgagor;
otherwise this Mortgage is to remain in full force and effect.

described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference,
including all increases, substitutions, replacements, additions and accessions
thereto and therefor and all cash and noncash proceeds from the sale, exchange,

to as the "Collateral").
2. Obligations Secured Hereby.
The security interest in the Collateral granted hereby secures and

of even date herewith (the "Note"), (b) the performance by Debtor of its
agreements, obligations, liabilities and duties under that certain Open-End

Secured party, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
whether now existing or hereafter arising and (d) all costs incurred by Secured
Party to obtain, perfect, preserve and enforce the security interest granted by
this Agreement, to collect the obligations secured hereby and to maintain and
preserve the Collateral, with such costs including but not limited to
expenditures made by Secured Party for taxes, assessments, insurance premiums,
repairs, reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, storage costs,
rents and expenses of collection, possession and sale of the Collateral,
together with interest on all such costs at the highest rate of interest
provided for in the Note (the foregoing items in subsections (a), (b), (c) and
(d) are collectively referred to herein as the "Obligations").
3. Debtor's Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(a) Collateral. Debtor hereby represents and warrants that
(i) except for the security interest granted hereby, Debtor is, or to the extent
that this Agreement provides that the Collateral is to be acquired after the
date hereof will be, the owner of the Collateral free and clear of all liens,
pledges, security interests or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever; and
(ii) upon execution of this Security Agreement and recording of applicable
<PAGE> 2
- 2 -
financing statements, the security interest granted hereby will be the
first, best and only security interest in the Collateral.
(b) Enforceability. Debtor represents and warrants that the
execution and performance of this Security Agreement has been duly
authorized by all appropriate action of Debtor and this Security
Agreement has been duly executed by Debtor, delivered to Secured Party
and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Debtor,
enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy laws. Neither the execution or
delivery by Debtor of this Security Agreement nor the consummation by
Debtor of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by Debtor
with the provisions hereof, conflicts with or results in a breach of
any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or Code of
Regulations of Debtor or of the provisions of any other agreement,
instrument or understanding to which it is a party or by which it or
any of its assets or properties are bound.
(c) Protection of Collateral. (i) Debtor will keep the
Collateral free from any lien, security interest or other encumbrance
adverse to the security interest granted hereby and in good order and
repair and will not waste or destroy the Collateral or any part
thereof; (ii) Debtor will not use the Collateral in violation of any
statute, ordinance or regulation; (iii) Secured Party may examine and
inspect the Collateral at any time, wherever located; (iv) Debtor will
at any time and from time to time execute and deliver all such
supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other
instruments and will take such other action, as the Secured Party
reasonably requests and reasonably deems necessary or advisable to (a)
grant Secured Party a security interest in all or any portion of the
Collateral, (b) maintain or preserve the lien of this Agreement to
carry out more effectively the purpose hereof, (c) perfect, publish
notice of or protect the validity of or of any grant made or to be made
by this Agreement, (d) enforce this Agreement, or (e) preserve and
defend the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Party therein
against the claims and demands of all persons and entities claiming the
same or any interest therein.
(d) Performance of Obligations. Debtor will punctually perform
and observe all of the Obligations.
(e) Maintenance and Inspection of Records. Debtor will
maintain accurate and complete records in respect of the Collateral and
shall at all reasonable times allow Secured Party by any officer,
employee or agent to examine, audit or inspect (including making
extracts from) such records and to arrange for verification of the
Collateral. Debtor also agrees to furnish such information or reports
relating to the Collateral as Secured Party may from time to time
reasonably request.
<PAGE> 3
- 3 -
(f) Insurance and Taxes.
(i) Insurance of Collateral. Debtor agrees to
maintain insurance at all times with respect to the Collateral
against such risks and in such amounts as are reasonably
satisfactory to Secured Party and to deliver to Secured Party,
upon Secured Party's request, all such policies of insurance.
Such insurance policies shall comply with the requirements of
the Mortgage and contain such terms, be in such form, for such
periods and be written by such companies as are reasonably
satisfactory to Secured Party and shall be payable to Secured
Party and Debtor as their interests may appear. All policies
of insurance shall provide for not less than Thirty (30) days
written notice to Secured Party prior to any cancellation of
such policies. Debtor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints
Secured Party as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for it
and in its name and place for the purpose of obtaining,
adjusting, settling and canceling such policies of insurance
and endorsing any drafts in respect thereof. The rights,
powers and authority of Secured Party herein granted shall
commence and be in effect on the date of this Agreement and
shall remain in full force and effect thereafter until the
Obligations have been paid and performed in full. If Debtor
fails to maintain such insurance, Secured Party may, at its
option, maintain such insurance and all premiums so paid by
Secured Party will be payable upon Secured Party's demand and
until paid by Debtor will accrue interest at the highest rate
of interest provided for in the Note.
(ii) Payment of Taxes and Assessments. Debtor agrees
to promptly pay when due all taxes and assessments imposed on
or with respect to all the Collateral. If such taxes and
assessments are not paid when due, the Secured Party may do so
for Debtor's account and all expenditures so paid by Secured
Party will be added to the principal balance of the Note, will
be payable upon Secured Party's demand and until paid by
Debtor will accrue interest at the highest rate of interest
provided for in the Note.
(g) Location of Collateral. Debtor covenants that the
Collateral will be kept at all times at Debtor's location set forth on
the first page hereof (the "Premises") and that the Collateral will not
be removed, in whole or in part, from such premises without the prior
written consent of Secured Party or unless a UCC Financing Statement
has been filed in the appropriate jurisdiction for the location of such
Collateral; provided, however, as contemplated by and provided for in
Section 1 hereof, Secured Party agrees that Debtor may, at any time and
from time to time, substitute or replace the Collateral ("Substituted
or Replaced Collateral") with Collateral of equal or greater value and
that Debtor may, in connection with each such substitution or
replacement, remove the Substituted or Replaced Collateral from such
premises.
<PAGE> 4
- 4 -
(h) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties made by Debtor in this Security
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this instrument
until such time as the Note and all other Obligations shall have been
paid or otherwise satisfied in full.
4. Debtor's Rights with Respect to Collateral.
Unless and until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Debtor shall
have the right to utilize the Collateral in the ordinary course of its business
and to substitute or replace the Collateral in accord with Section 3(g) hereof,
but shall not have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or transfer
the Collateral or any interest therein without the prior written consent of
Secured Party; provided, however, so long as an Event of Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing, any portion of the Collateral which constitutes
inventory or accounts receivable may be sold or transferred in the ordinary
course of business consistent with the past business practices of Debtor.
5. Events of Default and Remedies.
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of
the following events (herein sometimes called a "default") shall
constitute an "Event of Default," provided that there has been
satisfied any requirement in connection with such event for the giving
of notice or the lapse of time, or the happening of any further
condition, event or act, it being agreed that time is of the essence
hereof:
(i) if any payment of principal, interest or other
sum on the Note or any sum under this Security Agreement is
not paid within Ten (10) days after the same shall be due and
payable;
(ii) if there shall be a default in the due and
punctual observance or performance of any other agreement or
covenant of the Note or this Security Agreement and said
default shall continue for a period of Thirty (30) days after
written notice specifying such default shall have been given

(iii) if any representation or warranty of Debtor
made in this Security Agreement or in any certificate or other
writing delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to be incorrect
in any material respect as of the time when the same shall
have been made;
(iv) if the validity or enforceability of this
Security Agreement or the security interest in the Collateral
granted hereby shall be impaired in any respect and
<PAGE> 5
- 5 -
to any degree, or if any lien, charge, security interest,
mortgage, pledge or other encumbrance shall be created or
imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof and said
default shall continue for a period of Thirty (30) days after
written notice specifying such default shall have been given
to Debtor by Secured Party;
(v) if any default shall continue, after the
expiration of any applicable cure period, in the due and
punctual performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions, conditions, duties or obligations contained in (a)
the Mortgage of even date between Debtor and Secured Party
covering the real property upon which the Collateral is
situated, or (b) any other note, deed of trust, security
agreement, collateral assignment of lease or leases or similar
instrument to which Debtor is a party or by which it or any of
its properties are bound such that the indebtedness evidenced
or secured due and payable prior to the date otherwise become
due and payable;
(vi) if the Collateral or any material portion of
it shall be abandoned by Debtor;
(vii) if Debtor shall file a petition in voluntary
bankruptcy under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Act or
any similar law, state or federal, now or hereafter in effect;
(viii) if Debtor shall file an answer admitting
insolvency or inability to pay its debts;
(ix) if within Ninety (90) days after the filing
against Debtor of any involuntary proceedings under such
Bankruptcy Act or similar law, such proceedings shall not have
been vacated or stayed;
(x) if Debtor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt, or
a trustee or receiver shall be appointed for the Debtor or for
all or the major part of Debtor's property or the Collateral,
in any involuntary proceeding, or any court shall have taken
jurisdiction of all of the major part of the Debtor's property
of the Collateral in any involuntary proceeding for the
reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Debtor, and such trustee or receiver shall not be discharged
or such jurisdiction relinquished or vacated or stayed on
appeal or otherwise stayed within Ninety (90) days; or
(xi) if Debtor shall make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its inability
to pay its debts generally as they become due or shall
<PAGE> 6
- 6 -
consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee or
liquidator of all of the major part of its property, or the
Collateral.
(b) Rights and Remedies upon Default. If any Event of Default
under the Mortgage or herein shall have occurred and be continuing,
Secured Party may, by notice of default given to Debtor, (i) declare
the Note to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the principal
amount of the Note, together with accrued interest thereon, shall
become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest
or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything contained herein or in the Note contrary notwithstanding;
and/or (ii) proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this
Agreement by suit in equity, action at law or any other appropriate
proceeding and Secured Party shall have, without limitation, all of the
rights and remedies provided by applicable law, including, without
limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the state governing disposition of the
Collateral. Debtor shall be liable for any deficiency remaining after
the collection of the Collateral and application of the proceeds to the
Obligations to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(c) Power of Attorney with Respect to the Collateral. Secured
Party shall have the right upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
with respect to the payment of the Obligations, whether as scheduled,
by acceleration, or otherwise, to notify account debtors of its
security interest in the Accounts and to require payments to be made
directly to Secured Party at such address or in such manner as Secured
Party may deem appropriate. Upon request of Secured Party at any time,
Borrowers will so notify the account debtors and will indicate on all
billings to the account debtors that the Accounts are payable to
Secured Party. To facilitate direct collection, Debtor hereby appoints
Secured Party and any officer or employee of Secured Party, as the
agent to (i) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Debtor
and take therefrom any payments on or proceeds of other arrangements,
in which Debtor shall cooperate, to receive Debtor's mail, including
notifying the post office authorities to change the address for
delivery of mail addressed to Debtor to such address as Secured Party
shall designate, (ii) endorse the name of Debtor in favor of Secured
Party upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances
or other evidences or payment or Collateral that may come into Secured
Party's possession, (iii) sign and endorse the name of Debtor on any
invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Accounts, on
verifications of Accounts sent to any Debtor, to drafts against account
debtors, to assignments of Accounts and to notices to account debtors,
and (iv) do all acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement,
including signing the name of Debtor on any instruments required by law
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and on
financing statements as permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code.
Debtor hereby ratifies and approves all acts of such attorneys-in-fact,
and neither Secured Party nor any other such attorney-in-fact shall be
liable for any acts of commission or omission, or for any error of
judgment or mistake of
<PAGE> 7
- 7 -
fact or law. This power, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unsatisfied.
Secured Party shall not, under any circumstances, be liable
for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the
settlement, collection or payment of any Accounts or any instrument
received in payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom
except for such acts or omissions resulting from Secured Party's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Secured Party may, without notice to or consent from Debtor,
sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, or
compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise upon any terms, any
of the Accounts or any securities, instruments or insurance applicable
thereto and/or release the obligor thereon. Secured Party is authorized
to accept the return of the goods represented by any of the Accounts
without notice to or consent by Debtor, or without discharging or any
way affecting the Obligations hereunder.
Secured Party shall not be liable for or prejudiced by any
loss, depreciation or other damage to Accounts or other Collateral
unless caused by Secured Party's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, and Secured Party shall have no duty to take any action to
preserve or collect any Account or other Collateral.
(d) Distribution of Collateral. Upon enforcement of this
Agreement following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the proceeds
of the Collateral shall be applied as received from time to time by the
Secured Party as follows:
First: To the payment of all costs and expenses
incurred or accrued by the Secured Party (including the fees
and expenses of its attorneys, appraisers and agents) in
connection with any proceeding commenced to enforce this
Security Agreement or in connection with the taking, holding,
maintaining, preparing for sale, selling and the like of the
Collateral.
Second: To the payment of all amounts then due and
payable on the Note (first to the payment of delinquency
charges, then to the payment of default charges, then to the
payment of accrued interest and then to the payment of unpaid
principal).
Third: To the payment of any surplus to Debtor or any
other person or entity legally entitled thereto.
(e) Costs and Expenses. Borrower absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to Secured Party upon demand by Secured
Party all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses which shall be
incurred or sustained by Secured Party or any of its directors,
<PAGE> 8
- 8 -
officers, employees or agents as a consequence of, on account of, in
relation to or any way in connection with the exercise, protection or
enforcement (whether or not suit is instituted) any of its rights,
remedies, powers or privileges under this Agreement or the Mortgage or
Note or in, to or under all or any part of the Collateral or in
connection with any litigation, proceeding or dispute in any respect
related to this Agreement or the Mortgage or Note (including, but not
limited to, all of the reasonable fees and disbursements of
consultants, legal advisers, accountants, experts and agents for
Secured Party, the reasonable travel and living expenses away from home
of employees, consultants, experts or agents of Secured Party, and the
reasonable fees of agents, consultants and experts not in the full-time
employ of Secured Party for services rendered on behalf of Secured
Party).
(f) Debtor hereby confirms to Secured Party the continuing and
immediate right of set-off of Secured Party with respect to all
deposits, balances and other sums credited by or due from Secured Party
or any of the offices or branches of Secured Party to Debtor, which
right is in addition to any other rights which Secured Party may have
under applicable law. Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, if
any principal, interest or other sum payable by Debtor to Secured Party
under the Note or Mortgage is not paid to Secured Party punctually when
the same shall first become due and payable (after giving effect to any
applicable grace period), or if any Event of Default shall at any time
occur, any deposits, balances or other sums credited by or due from
Secured Party or any of the offices or branches of Secured Party to
Debtor may, without any prior notice of any kind to Debtor or
compliance with any other conditions precedent now or hereafter imposed
by statute, rule or law or otherwise (all of which are hereby expressly
and irrevocably waived by Debtors to the extent permitted by law), be
immediately set off, appropriated and applied by Secured Party toward
the payment and satisfaction of the Obligations (but not to any other
obligations of such Debtor to Secured Party until all of the
Obligations have been paid in full) in such order and manner as Secured
Party (in its sole and complete discretion) may determine.
6. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
Secured Party shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be
deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder and no waiver
shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Secured Party, and then only to
the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which Secured Party would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No
failure to exercise or any delay in exercising on the part of Secured Party any
right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
<PAGE> 9

clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such clause
or provision, or part thereof and shall not in any manner affect such clause or
provision in any other jurisdiction or any other clause or provision in this
Security Agreement in any jurisdiction.

(a) None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement
may be altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing,
duly executed by each of the parties hereto.

hereof.
