13. GENERAL AGREEMENTS OF BORROWER.
(a) Borrower agrees to keep all the Collateral insured with coverage and
in amounts not less than that usually carried by one engaged in a like
business and in any event not less than that required by Bank with
loss payable to the Bank and Borrower, as their interests may appear,
hereby appointing Bank as attorney for Borrower in obtaining,
adjusting, settling and cancelling such insurance and endorsing any
drafts. As further assurance for the payment and performance of the
Obligations, Borrower hereby assigns to Bank all sums, including
returns of unearned premiums, which may become payable under any
policy of insurance on the collateral and Borrower hereby directs
each insurance company issuing any such policy to make payment of
such sums directly to Bank.
(b) The Bank or its agents have the right to inspect the Collateral and
all records pertaining thereto at intervals to be determined by Bank
and without hindrance or delay.
(c) Although, as above set forth, Bank has a continuing security interest
in all of Borrower's Collateral and in the Proceeds thereof, Borrower
will at all times maintain as the minimum security hereunder a
Borrowing Base not less than the aggregate unpaid principal of all
loans made hereunder; and if Borrower fails to do so, Borrower will
immediately make the necessary reduction in the unpaid principal
amount of said loans.
(d) Borrower will at all times keep accurate and complete records of
Borrower's Inventory, Accounts and other Collateral, and Bank, or any
of its agents, shall have the right to call at Borrower's place or
places of business at intervals to be determined by Bank, and without
<PAGE>
hindrance or delay, to inspect, audit, check, and make extracts from
any copies of the books, records, journals, orders, receipts,
correspondence which relate to Borrower's Accounts, and other
Collateral or other transactions, between the parties thereto and the
general financial condition of Borrower and Bank may remove any of
such records temporarily for the purpose of having copies made
thereof.
(e) Borrower will maintain its corporate existence in good standing and
comply with all laws and regulations of the United States or of any
state or states thereof or of any political subdivision thereof, or
of any governmental authority which may be applicable to it or to its
business.
(f) Borrower will pay all real and personal property taxes, assessments
and charges and all franchises, income, unemployment, old age benefits,
withholding, sales and other taxes assessed against it, or payable by
it at such times and in such manner as to prevent any penalty from
accruing or any lien or charge from attaching to its property.
(g) The Bank may in its own name or in the name of others communicate with
account debtors in order to verify with them to Bank's satisfaction the
existence, amount and terms of any Accounts.
(h) This Agreement may but need not be supplemented by separate assignments
of Accounts and if such assignments are given the rights and security
interests given thereby shall be in addition to and not in limitation

(i) If any of Borrower's Accounts arise out of contracts with the United
States or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, Borrower
will immediately notify Bank thereof in writing and execute any
<PAGE>
instruments and take any steps required by Bank in order that all
monies due and to become due under such contracts shall be assigned to
Bank and notice thereof given to the Government under the Federal
Assignment of Claims Act.
(j) If any of Borrower's Accounts should be evidenced by promissory notes,
trade acceptances, or other instruments for the payment of money,
Borrower will immediately deliver same to Bank, appropriately endorsed
to Bank's order and, regardless of the form of such endorsement,
Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest
and notice of protest and all other notices with respect thereto.
(k) Borrower will promptly pay when due all taxes and assessments upon the
Collateral or for its use or operation or upon this Security Agreement,
or upon any note or notes evidencing the Obligations, and will, at the
request of Bank, promptly furnish Bank the receipted bills therefor.
At its option, Bank may discharge taxes, liens or security interests or
other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral, may
pay for insurance on the Collateral and may pay for the maintenance and
<PAGE>
preservation of the collateral. Borrower agrees to reimburse Bank on
demand for any payments made, or any expenses incurred by Bank pursuant
to the foregoing authorization, and upon failure of the Borrower so to
reimburse Bank, any such sums paid or advanced by Bank shall be deemed
secured by the Collateral and constitute part of the obligations.
(l) Borrower will immediately notify Bank upon receipt of notification of
any potential or known release or threat of release of hazardous
materials, hazardous waste, hazardous or toxic substance or oil from
any site operated by Borrower or of the incurrence of any expense or
loss in connection therewith or with the Borrower's obtaining knowledge
of any investigation, action or the incurrence of any expense or loss
by any governmental authority in connection with the assessment,
containment or removal of any hazardous material or oil for which
expense or loss the Borrower may be liable. As used herein, the terms

following (the ACTS): the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section
9601 et seq.; the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C. Sections 6901 et seq.; the Hazardous Materials Transportation

the same may be amended from time to time.
(m) Except for the Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Borrower
will indemnify and save Bank harmless from all loss, costs, damage,
liability or expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees) that Bank 'may sustain or incur by reason
of defending or protecting this security interest or the priority
thereof or enforcing the Obligations, or in the prosecution or defense
of any action or proceeding concerning any matter growing out of or in
connection with this Agreement and/or any other documents now or
hereafter executed in connection with this Agreement and/or the
Obligations and/or the Collateral. This indemnity shall survive the
repayment of the obligations and the termination of Bank's agreement
to make loans available to Borrower and the termination of this
Agreement.
(n) At the option of the Bank, Borrower will furnish to Bank, from time to
time, within five (5) days after the accrual in accordance with
applicable law of Borrower's obligation to make deposits for F.I.C.A.

that such deposits have been made as required.
(o) Should Borrower fail to make any of such deposits or furnish such
proof then Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) make any
<PAGE>
of such deposits or any part thereof, (b) pay such taxes, or any part
thereof, or (c) set-up such reserves as Bank, in its judgment, shall
deem necessary to satisfy the liability for such taxes. Each amount
so deposited or paid shall constitute an advance under the terms
hereof, repayable on demand with interest, as provided herein, and
secured by all collateral and any other property at any time pledged
by Borrower with Bank. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate
Bank to make any such deposit or payment or set-up such reserve and
the making of one or more of such deposits or payments or the
setting-up of such reserve shall not constitute (i) an agreement on
Bank's part to take any further or similar action, or (ii) a waiver
of any default by Borrower under the terms hereof.
(p) All advances by Bank to Borrower under this Agreement and under any
other agreement constitute one general revolving fluctuating loan, and
all indebtedness of Borrower to Bank under this and under any other
agreement constitute one general Obligation. Each advance to Borrower
hereunder or otherwise shall be made upon the security of all of the
Collateral held and to be held by Bank. It is distinctlv understood
and agreed that all of the rights of Bank contained in this Agreement
shall likewise apply, insofar as applicable, to any modification of or
supplement to this Agreement and to any other agreements between Bank
and Borrower. Any default of this Agreement by Borrower shall
constitute, likewise, a default by Borrower of any other existing
agreement with Bank, and any default by Borrower of any other
agreement with Bank shall constitute a default of this Agreement.
The entire Obligation of Borrower to Bank shall become due and payable
when payments become due and payable hereunder upon termination of
this Agreement.
(q) Borrower hereby grants to Bank for a term to commence on the date of
this Agreement and continuing thereafter until all debts and
Obligations of any kind or character owing from Borrower to Bank are
fully paid and discharged, the right to use all premises or places of
business which Borrower presently has or may hereafter have and where
any of the Collateral may be located, at a total rental for the entire
period of $1.00. Bank agrees not to exercise the rights granted in
this paragraph unless and until Bank determines to exercise its rights
against the Collateral.
(r) Borrower will, at its expense, upon request of Bank promptly and duly
execute and deliver such documents and assurances and take such
actions as may be necessary or desirable or as Bank may request in
order to correct any defect, error or omission which may at any time
be discovered or to more effectively carry out the intent and purpose
of this Agreement and to establish, perfect and protect Bank's
security interest, rights and remedies created or intended to be
created hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the the above,
Borrower will join with Bank in executing financing and continuation
statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other notices
appropriate under applicable Federal or state law in form satisfactory
to Bank and filing the same in all public offices and jurisdictions
wherever and whenever requested by Bank.

discharged, a non-exclusive irrevocable royalty-free license in

or more of the events of Default, provided, however, that such use by
Bank shall be suspended if such Events of Default are cured. This
license shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the inclusion of
all of Borrower's trademarks, servicemarks, trade names, logos,
goodwill, patents, franchises and licenses in the Collateral; in
addition to the right to use said Collateral as provided in this
paragraph, Bank shall have full right to exercise any and all of its
other rights regarding Collateral with respect to such trademarks,

licenses.

accounts as to which no person or entity other than Borrower has any
legal or equitable interest Whatsoever.
(c) The Bank may at any time notify account debtors that Collateral has

will at all times maintain as the minimum security hereunder a
Borrowing Base not less than the aggregate unpaid principal of all
loans made hereunder; and if Borrower fails to do so, Borrower will
immediately make the necessary reduction in the unpaid principal
amount of said loans.
(d) Borrower will at all times keep accurate and complete records of

by Borrower with Bank. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate
Bank to make any such deposit or payment or set-up such reserve and

Collateral held and to be held by Bank. It is distinctlv understood
and agreed that all of the rights of Bank contained in this Agreement
shall likewise apply, insofar as applicable, to any modification of or
supplement to this Agreement and to any other agreements between Bank
and Borrower. Any default of this Agreement by Borrower shall

order to correct any defect, error or omission which may at any time

license shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the inclusion of
all of Borrower's trademarks, servicemarks, trade names, logos,
goodwill, patents, franchises and licenses in the Collateral; in
