BORROWER: TECHNICLONE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION LENDER: IMPERIAL THRIFT AND LOAN ASSOCIATION 14282 FRANKLIN AVENUE 700 N. CENTRAL AVENUE, SUITE 100 TUSTIN CA 92780 GLENDALE, CA 91203-1240
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $1,020,000.00 DATE OF NOTE: OCTOBER 24, 1996 PROMISE TO PAY. Techniclone International Corporation, a California Corporation ("Borrower") promises to pay to IMPERIAL THRIFT AND LOAN ASSOCIATION ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One Million Twenty Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($1,020,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from October 25,1996, until paid in full. The interest rate will not increase above 14.500%. PAYMENT. Subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule: 1. Principal and interest payment of $12,618.02 on December 1, 1996, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 9.500% per annum; 59 consecutive monthly principal and interest payments of $10,733.85 each, beginning January 1, 1997, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 9.500% per annum; 119 consecutive monthly principal and interest payments in the initial amount of $10,906.84 each, beginning December 1, 2001, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 4.250 percentage points over the Index described below; and 1 principal and interest payment in the initial amount of $10,906.73 on November 1, 2011, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 4.250 percentage points over the Index described below. This estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled and that the Index does not change; the actual final payment will be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any other unpaid amounts under this Note. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 simple interest basis; that is by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs and any late charges, then to any unpaid interest, and any remaining amount to principal. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the SIX MONTH LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (LIBOR) AS PUBLISHED IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ON THE 25TH DAY OF THE MONTH PRECEDING THE APPLICABLE CHANGE DATE (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each THREE MONTHS BEGINNING WITH THE DATE OF LOAN FUNDING BUT ONLY AFTER THE FIXED RATE PERIOD SPECIFIED IN THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE. The Index currently is 5.625% per annum. The interest rate or rates to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be the rate or rates set forth above in the "Payments" section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the variable interest rate or rates provided for in this Note will be subject to the following minimum and maximum rates. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 9.500% per annum or more than the lesser of 14.500% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the maximum increase or decrease in the interest rate at any one time on this loan will not exceed 2.000 percentage points. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (a) increase Borrower's payments to ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (b) increase Borrower's payments to cover accruing interest (c) increase the number of Borrower's payments, and (d) continue Borrower's payments at the same amount and increase Borrower's final payment. PREPAYMENT PENALTY. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Upon prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the following prepayment penalty: 4% of the principal loan amount if any amount is prepaid in excess of the regular payment due hereunder, during the first 12 months of the loan (beginning with the date of loan funding); then 3% of the principal loan amount if any amount is prepaid in excess of the regular payment due hereunder, during the 13th through 24th months of the loan; then 2% of the principal loan amount if any amount is prepaid in excess of the regular payment due hereunder, during the 25th through 36th months of the loan; then 1% of the principal loan amount if any amount is prepaid in excess of the regular payment due hereunder, during the 37th through 48th months of the loan. There will be no prepayment penalty during the 49th through 180th months of the loan. If Borrower makes a partial payment, the Holder of this 5 2 Note will credit It to the unpaid principal balance of the Note (provided interest is paid current), and Borrower will thereafter continue to make the regular payments due hereunder until this Note is paid in full. Regular payment is defined as the monthly or other payment due including principal, interest and impounds as well as the last installment of principal and interest at maturity. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather they will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower making fewer payments. LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late Borrower will be charged 10.000% of the regularly scheduled payment. DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default it any of the following happens: (a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due, (b) Borrower breaks any promise Borrower has made to Lender or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when due any other term obligation covenant or condition contained in this Note or any agreement related to this Note or in any other agreement or loan Borrower has with Lender, (c) any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrowers behalf is false or misleading in any material respect either now or at the time made or furnished, (d) Borrower becomes insolvent a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's property Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, (e) any creditor tries to take any of Borrower s property on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower accounts with Lender, (f) Any guarantor dies or any of the other events described in this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Note (g) A material adverse change occurs in Borrowers financial condition or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the indebtedness is impaired. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months it may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Borrower after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due without notice and then Borrower will pay that amount. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect his Note If Borrower does not pay Borrower will also pay Lender that amount. This includes subject to any limits under applicable law Lenders attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit including attorneys fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction) appeals, and any anticipated post judgment collection services. Borrower also will pay any court costs in addition to all other sums provided by law. This NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO LENDER AND ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IT THERE IS A LAWSUIT BORROWER AGREES UPON LENDER S REQUEST TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

provisions:

         POSSESSION AND USE. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, or
         until Lender exercises its right to collect Rents as provided for in
         the Assignment of Rents form executed by Grantor in connection with the
         Property, Trustor may (a) remain in possession and control of the

         Rents from the Property.

         and gas), soil, gravel or rock products without the prior written
         consent of Lender.

   4
         opinion, Lender's interests in the Property are not jeopardized. Lender

ownership of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock,
partnership interests or limited liability company interests, as the case may
be, of Trustor. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such
exercise is prohibited by applicable law,

TAXES AND LIENS. The following provisions relating to the taxes and liens on the
Property are a part of this Deed of Trust.

         PAYMENT. Trustor shall pay when due (and in all events at least ten
         (10) days prior to delinquency) all taxes, special taxes, assessments,
         charges (including water and sewer), fines and impositions levied
         against or on account of the Property, and shall pay when due all
         claims for work done on or for services rendered or material furnished
         to the Property. Trustor shall maintain the Property free of all liens
         having priority over or equal to the interest of Lender under this Deed
         of Trust, except for the lien of taxes and assessments not due and
         except as otherwise provided in this Deed of Trust.

         RIGHT TO CONTEST. Trustor may withhold payment of any tax, assessment,
         or claim in connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to
         pay, so long as Lender's interest in the Property is not jeopardized.
         If a lien arises or is filed as a result of nonpayment, Trustor shall
         within fifteen (15) days after the lien arises or, if a lien is filed,
         within fifteen (15) days after Trustor has notice of the filing, secure
         the discharge of the lien, or if requested by Lender, deposit with
         Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security
         satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien
         plus any costs and attorneys' fees or other charges that could accrue
         as a result of a foreclosure or sale under the lien. In any contest,
         Trustor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any adverse
         judgment before enforcement against the Property. Trustor shall name
         Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the
         contest proceedings.

         EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT. Trustor shall upon demand furnish to Lender
         satisfactory evidence of payment of the taxes or assessments and shall
         authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to Lender at
         any time a written statement of the taxes and assessments against the
         Property.

         NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION. Trustor shall notify Lender at least fifteen
         (15) days before any work is commenced, any services are furnished, or
         any materials are supplied to the Property, if any mechanic's lien,
         materialmen's lien, or other lien could be asserted on account of the
         work, services, or materials. Trustor will upon request of Lender
         furnish to Lender advance assurances satisfactory to Lender that
         Trustor can and will pay the cost of such improvements.

PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the
Property are a part of this Deed of Trust.

         MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. Trustor shall procure and maintain policies
         of fire insurance with standard extended coverage endorsements on a
         replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all
         Improvements on the Real Property in an amount sufficient to avoid
         application of any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee
         clause in favor of Lender. Trustor shall also procure and maintain
         comprehensive general liability insurance in such coverage amounts as
         Lender may request with trustee and Lender being named as additional
         insureds in such liability insurance policies. Additionally, Trustor
         shall maintain such other insurance, including but not limited to
         hazard, business interruption, and boiler insurance, as Lender may
         reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
         Trustor be required to provide hazard insurance in excess of the
         replacement value of the improvements on the Real Property. Policies
         shall be written in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably
         acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably
         acceptable to Lender. Trustor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to
         Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in
         form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will
         not be cancelled or diminished without at least thirty (30) days' prior
         written notice to Lender. Each insurance policy also shall include an
         endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be
         impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Trustor or any
         other person. Should the Real Property at any time become located in an
         area designated by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management
         Agency as a special flood hazard area, Trustor agrees to obtain and
         maintain Federal Flood Insurance to the extent such insurance is
         required by Lender and is or becomes available, for the term of the
         loan or for the full unpaid principal balance of the loan, or the
         maximum limit of coverage that is available, whichever is less.

         APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Trustor shall promptly notify Lender of any
         loss or damage to the Property. Lender may make proof of loss if
         Trustor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. If in
         Lender's sole judgment Lender's security interest in the Property has
         been impaired, Lender may, at its election, receive and retain the
         proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of
         the Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or the
         restoration and repair of the Property. If the proceeds are to be
         applied to restoration and repair, Trustor shaft repair or replace the
         damaged or destroyed Improvements in a manner satisfactory to Lender.
         Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay or
         reimburse Trustor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair
         or restoration if Trustor is not in default under this Deed of Trust.
         Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their
         receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration
         of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount owing to Lender
         under this Deed of Trust, then to pay accrued interest, and the
         remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the
         Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the
         Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Trustor as Trustor's
         interests may appear.

         UNEXPIRED INSURANCE AT SALE. Any unexpired insurance shall inure to the
         benefit of, and pass to, the purchaser of the Property covered by this
         Deed of Trust at any trustee's sale or other sale held under the
         provisions of this Deed of Trust, or at any foreclosure sale of such
         Property.

         TRUSTOR'S REPORT ON INSURANCE. Upon request of Lender, however not more
         than once a year, Trustor shall furnish to Lender a report on each
         existing policy of insurance showing: (a) the name of the insurer; (b)
         the risks insured; (c) the amount of the policy; (d) the property
         insured, the then current replacement value of such property, and the
         manner of determining that value; and (e) the expiration date of the
         policy. Trustor shall, upon request of Lender, have an independent
         appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine the cash value replacement
         cost of the Property.

EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If Trustor fails to comply with any provision of this
Deed of Trust, or if any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially
affect Lender's interests in the Property, Lender on Trustor's behalf may, but
shall not be required to, take any action that Lender deems appropriate. Any
amount that Lender expends in so doing will bear interest at the rate provided
for in the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of
repayment by Trustor. All such expenses, at Lender's option, will (a) be payable
on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and
be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (i) the
term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the remaining term of the Note,
or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the
Note's maturity. This Deed of Trust also will secure payment of these amounts.
The rights provided for in this paragraph shall be in addition to any other
rights or any remedies to which Lender may be entitled on account of the
default. Any such action by Lender shall not be construed as curing the default
so as to bar Lender from any remedy that it otherwise would have had.

the Property are a part of this Deed of Trust.

         title opinion issued in favor of, and accepted by, Lender in connection

         of Trustee or Lender under this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall defend the
         action at Trustor's expense. Trustor may be the nominal party in such
         proceeding, but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the
         proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of Lender
         s own choice, and Trustor will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
         Lender such instruments as Lender may request from time to time to
         permit such participation.

         Lender may at its election, and to the extent permitted by law, require
         that all or any portion of the award or settlement be applied to the
         Indebtedness and to the repayment of all reasonable costs, expenses,
         and attorneys' fees incurred by Trustee or Lender in connection with
         the condemnation proceedings.

         PROCEEDINGS. It any eminent domain or inverse condemnation proceeding
         is commenced affecting the Property, Trustor shall promptly notify
         Lender in writing, and Trustor shall promptly take such steps as may be
         necessary to pursue or defend the action and obtain the award. Trustor
         may be the nominal party in any such proceeding, but Lender shall be
         entitled, at its election, to participate in the proceeding and to be
         represented in the proceeding by counsel of its own choice, and Trustor
         will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender such instruments as may
         be requested by it from time to time to permit such participation.

         liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. Lender, at its
         option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's
         estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the
         guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure the
         Event of Default.

         ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Trustor's financial
         condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of
         the indebtedness is impaired.

         RIGHT TO CURE. If such a failure is curable and if Trustor has not been
         given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Deed of Trust
         within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no Event
         of Default will have occurred) if Trustor, after Lender sends written
         notice demanding cure of such failure: (a) cures the failure within
         fifteen (15) days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15)
         days, immediately initiates steps sufficient to cure the failure and
         thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps
         sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and
at any time thereafter, Trustee or Lender, at its option, may exercise any one
or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights or
remedies provided by law:

         FORECLOSURE BY SALE. Upon an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust,
         Beneficiary may declare the entire Indebtedness secured by this Deed of
         Trust immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written
         declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice of
         default and of election to cause to be sold the Property, which notice
         Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall
         deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, the Note, other documents
         requested by Trustee, and all documents evidencing expenditures secured
         hereby. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law
         following the recordation of the notice of default, and notice of sale
         having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on
         Trustor, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed by it in
         the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in
         such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder
         for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale.
         Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by
         public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to
         time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the
         time fixed by the preceding postponement in accordance with applicable
         law. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the
         Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or
         implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters or facts shall be
         conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including
         Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary may purchase at such sale. After
         deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust,
         including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee
         shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under
         the


                                       16
   10
         terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount
         allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then
         secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons
         legally entitled thereto.

         JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE. With respect to all or any part of the Real
         Property, Lender shall have the right in lieu of foreclosure by power
         of sale to foreclose by judicial foreclosure in accordance with and to
         the full extent provided by California law.

         UCC REMEDIES. With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property,
         Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under
         the Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right to
         recover any deficiency in the manner and to the full extent provided by
         California law.

         COLLECT RENTS. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Trustor,
         to take possession of and manage the Property and collect the Rents,
         including amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over
         and above Lender's costs, against the Indebtedness. In furtherance of
         this right, Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property
         to make payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents
         are collected by Lender, then Trustor irrevocably designates Lender as
         Trustor's attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received in payment
         thereof in the name of Trustor and to negotiate the same and collect
         the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response
         to Lender's demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the payments
         are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed.
         Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either in
         person, by agent, or through a receiver.

         APPOINT RECEIVER. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver
         appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Property, with
         the power to protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property
         preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the
         Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the
         receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without
         bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment of a
         receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property
         exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender
         shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

         TENANCY AT SUFFERANCE. If Trustor remains in possession of the Property
         after the Property is sold as provided above or Lender otherwise
         becomes entitled to possession of the Property upon default of Trustor,
         Trustor shall become a tenant at sufferance of Lender or the purchaser
         of the Property and shall, at Lender's option, either (a) pay a
         reasonable rental for the use of the Property, or (b) vacate the
         Property immediately upon the demand of Lender.

         OTHER REMEDIES. Trustee or Lender shall have any other right or remedy
         provided in this Deed of Trust or the Note or by law.

         NOTICE OF SALE. Lender shall give Trustor reasonable notice of the time
         and place of any public sale of the Personal Property or of the time
         after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the
         Personal Property is to be made. Reasonable notice shall mean notice
         given at least five (5) days before the time of the sale or
         disposition. Any sale of Personal Property may be made in conjunction
         with any sale of the Real Property.

         SALE OF THE PROPERTY. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
         Trustor hereby waives any and all rights to have the Property
         marshalled in exercising its rights and remedies, the Trustee or Lender
         shall be free to sell all or any part of the Property together or
         separately, in one sale or by separate sales. Lender shall be entitled
         to bid at any public sale on all or any portion of the Property.


                                       17
   11
         WAIVER; ELECTION OF REMEDIES. A waiver by any party of a breach of a
         provision of this Deed of Trust shall not constitute a waiver of or
         prejudice the party's rights otherwise to demand strict compliance with
         that provision or any other provision. Election by Lender to pursue any
         remedy provided in this Deed of Trust, the Note, in any Related
         Document, or provided by law shall not exclude pursuit of any other
         remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to
         perform an obligation of Trustor under this Deed of Trust after failure
         of Trustor to perform shall not affect Lender's right to declare a
         default and to exercise any of its remedies.

         ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. If Lender institutes any suit or action to
         enforce any of the terms of this Deed of Trust, Lender shall be
         entitled to recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as
         attorneys' fees at trial and on any appeal. Whether or not any court
         action is involved, all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender which in
         Lender's opinion are necessary at any time for the protection of its
         interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a part of the
         indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Note rate
         from the date of expenditure until repaid. Expenses covered by this
         paragraph include, without limitation, however subject to any limits
         under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees whether or not there is
         a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees for bankruptcy proceedings
         (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or
         injunction), appeals and any anticipated post-judgment collection
         services, the cost of searching records, obtaining title reports
         (including foreclosure reports), surveyors' reports, appraisal fees,
         title insurance, and fees for the Trustee, to the extent permitted by
         applicable law. Trustor also will pay any court costs, in addition to
         all other sums provided by law.

         other persons liable therefor, all of the Leases and Rents; institute

         Property, including such proceedings as may be necessary to recover
         possession of the Property; collect the Leases and Rents and remove any
         tenant or tenants or other persons from the Property.

         MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY. Lender may enter upon the Property to maintain

         of all services of all employees, including their equipment, and of all
         continuing costs and expenses of maintaining the Property in proper
         repair and condition, and also to pay all taxes, assessments and water
         utilities, and the premiums on fire and other insurance effected by
         Lender on the Property.

         COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Lender may do any and all things to execute and
         comply with the laws of the State of California and also all other
         laws, rules, orders, ordinances and requirements of all other
         governmental agencies affecting the Property.

         LEASE THE PROPERTY. Lender may rent or lease the whole or any part of
         the Property for such term or terms and on such conditions as Lender
         may deem appropriate.

         EMPLOY AGENTS. Lender may engage such agent or agents as Lender may

connection with the Property shall be for Grantor's account and Lender may pay
such costs and expenses from the Leases and Rents. Lender, in its sole
discretion, shall determine the application of any and all Leases and Rents
received by it; however, any such Leases and Rents received by Lender which are
not applied to such costs and expenses shall be applied to the

Indebtedness. All expenditures made by Lender under this Assignment and not
reimbursed from the Leases and Rents shall become a part of the Indebtedness
secured by this Assignment, and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the
Note rate from date of expenditure until paid.

FULL PERFORMANCE. If Grantor pays all of the Indebtedness when due and otherwise
performs all the obligations imposed upon Grantor under this Assignment, the
Note, and the Related Documents, Lender shall execute and deliver to Grantor a
suitable satisfaction of this Assignment and suitable statements of termination
of any financing statement on file evidencing Lender's security interest in the
Leases and Rents and the Property. Any termination fee required by law shall be
paid by Grantor, if permitted by applicable law.

EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this
Assignment, or if any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially
affect Lender's interests in the Property, Lender on Grantor's behalf may, but
shall not be required to, take any action that Lender deems appropriate. Any
amount that Lender expends in so doing will bear interest at the rate provided
for in the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of
repayment by Grantor. All such expenses, at Lender's option, will (a) be payable
on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and
be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (i) the
term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the remaining term of the Note,
or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the
Note's maturity. This Assignment also will secure payment of these amounts. The
rights provided for in this paragraph shall be in addition to any other rights
or any remedies to which Lender may be entitled on account of the default. Any
such action by Lender shall not be construed as curing the default so as to bar
Lender from any remedy that it otherwise would have had.

DEFAULT. Each of the following, at the option of Lender, shall constitute an
event of default ("Event of Default") under this Assignment:

         DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. Failure of Grantor to make any payment when
         due on the Indebtedness.

         COMPLIANCE DEFAULT. Failure of Grantor to comply with any other term,
         obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Assignment, the
         Note or in any of the Related Documents.

         FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
         furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor under this Assignment,
         the Note or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any
         material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished.

         DETECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Assignment or any of the Related
         Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
         any collateral documents to create a valid and perfected security
         interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

         OTHER DEFAULTS. Failure of Grantor to comply with any term, obligation,
         covenant, or condition contained in any other agreement between Grantor
         and Lender.

         going business. the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a

         of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
         Grantor.

         FORECLOSURE, FORFEITURE, ETC. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture
         proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or
         any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any governmental


                                       27
   5
         agency against any of the Property. However, this subsection shall not
         apply in the event of a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the
         validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the
         foreclosure or forfeiture proceeding, provided that Grantor gives
         Lender written notice of such claim and furnishes reserves or a surety
         bond for the claim satisfactory to Lender.

         EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
         respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor
         dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or
         liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. Lender, at its
         option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's
         estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the
         guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure the
         Event of Default.

         ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
         condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of
         the Indebtedness is impaired.

         RIGHT TO CURE. If such a failure is curable and if Grantor has not been
         given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Assignment
         within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no Event
         of Default will have occurred) if Grantor, after Lender sends written
         notice demanding cure of such failure: (a) cures the failure within
         fifteen (15) days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15)
         days, immediately initiates steps sufficient to cure the failure and
         thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps
         sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and
at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following
rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by
law:

         ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender shall have the right at its option
         without notice to Grantor to declare the entire Indebtedness
         immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty which
         Grantor would be required to pay.

         COLLECT LEASES AND RENTS. Lender shall have the right, without notice
         to Grantor, to take possession of the Property and collect the Leases
         and Rents, including amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net
         proceeds, over and above Lender's costs, against the Indebtedness. In
         furtherance of this right, Lender shall have all the rights provided
         for in the Lender's Right to Collect Section , above. If the Leases and
         Rents are collected by Lender, then Grantor irrevocably designates
         Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received in
         payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same and
         collect the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in
         response to Lender's demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the
         payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand
         existed. Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either
         in person, by agent, or through a receiver.

         APPOINT RECEIVER. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver
         appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Property, with
         the power to protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property
         preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Leases and Rents from
         the Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the
         receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without
         bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment of a
         receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property
         exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender
         shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.



                                       28
   6
         OTHER REMEDIES. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies
         provided in this Assignment or the Note or by law.

         WAIVER, ELECTION OF REMEDIES. A waiver by any party of a breach of a
         provision of this Assignment shall not constitute a waiver of or
         prejudice the party's rights otherwise to demand strict compliance with
         that provision or any other provision. Election by Lender to pursue any
         remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election
         to make expenditures or take action to perform an obligation of Grantor
         under this Assignment after failure of Grantor to perform shall not
         affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise its remedies
         under this Assignment.

         ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. If Lender institutes any suit or action to
         enforce any of the terms of this Assignment, Lender shall be entitled
         to recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys'
         fees at trial and on any appeal. Whether or not any court action is
         involved, all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender that in Lender's
         opinion are necessary at any time for the protection of its interest or
         the enforcement of its rights shall become a part of the Indebtedness
         payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure
         until repaid at the rate provided for in the Note. Expenses covered by
         this paragraph include, without limitation, however subject to any
         limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's
         legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys'
         fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate
         any automatic stay or injunction), appeals and any anticipated
         post-judgment collection services, the cost of searching records,
         obtaining title reports (including foreclosure reports), surveyors'
         reports, and appraisal fees, and title insurance, to the extent
         permitted by applicable law. Grantor also will pay any court costs, in
         addition to all other sums provided by law.

         holder of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security agreement
         which has priority over this Assignment by which that agreement is
         modified, amended, extended, or renewed without the prior written
         consent of Lender. Grantor shall neither request nor accept any future
         advances under any such security agreement without the prior written
         consent of Lender.

         SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
         of this Assignment to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or

         unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible.
         any such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be
         within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the

         way of forbearance or extension without releasing Grantor from the
         obligations of this Assignment or liability under the Indebtedness.

         TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance of
         this Assignment.

         WAIVER OF HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION. Grantor hereby releases and waives all

         such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on
         the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of
         such right or any other right. A waiver by any party of a provision of
         this Assignment shall not constitute a waiver of or prejudice the
         party's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision
         or any other provision. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of
         dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of
         Lender's rights or any of Grantor's obligations as to any future
         transactions. Whenever consent by Lender is required in this
         Assignment, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance
         shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where
         such consent is required.

GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES

Some or all of the Collateral may be located at the real property described above. Except in the ordinary course of its business, including the sales of inventory Grantor shall not remove the Collateral from its existing locations without the prior written consent of Lender. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or other titled property, Grantor shall not 33 3 10-24-1996 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT (Continued) take or permit any action which would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles outside the State of California, without the prior written consent of Lender.

Except for inventory sold or accounts collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise Transfer or dispose of the Collateral.

Insofar as the Collateral consists of inventory and equipment, Grantor shall deliver to Lender, as often as Lender shall require, such lists, descriptions, and designations of such Collateral as Lender may require to identify the nature, extent, and location of such Collateral. Such information shall be submitted for Grantor and each of its subsidiaries or related companies. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL. Grantor shall maintain all tangible Collateral in good condition and repair. Grantor will not commit or permit damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part of the Collateral. Lender and its designated representatives and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine, inspect, and audit the Collateral wherever located. Grantor shall immediately notify Lender of all cases involving the return, rejection, repossession, loss or damage of or to any Collateral; of any request for credit or adjustment or of any other dispute arising with respect to the Collateral; and generally of all happenings and events affecting the Collateral or the value or the amount of the Collateral. TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND LIENS. Grantor will pay when due all taxes, assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness, or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is subjected to a lien which is not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with Lender cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the discharge of the lien plus any interest, costs, attorneys fees or other charges that could accrue as a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any contest Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Grantor shall comply promptly with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership, production, disposition, or use of the Collateral. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral, in Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized. MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain all risks, insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. In connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. If Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if it so chooses "single interest insurance," which will cover only Lenders' interest in the Collateral. APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of 34 4 10-24-1996 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT (Continued) expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness. INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender lo be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor, and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility. INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as Lender may reasonably request including the following: (a) the name of the insurer; (b) the risks insured; (c) the amount of the policy; (d) the property insured; (e) the then current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value; and (f) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral. GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except as otherwise provided below with respect lo accounts, Grantor may have possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required lo take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness. EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without limitation all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but shall not be obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses shall become a part of the Indebtedness and at Lender s option, will (a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement: DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. Failure of Grantor to make any payment when due on the Indebtedness. OTHER DEFAULTS. Failure of Grantor to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or in any other agreement between Lender and Grantor. FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor under this Agreement, the Note or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished. DEFECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral documents to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason. INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor. CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a 35 5 10-24-1996 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT (Continued) garnishment of any of Grantor's deposit accounts with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute. EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or such Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent. Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure the Event of Default. ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired. RIGHT TO CURE. It any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is curable and if Grantor has not been given a prior notice of a breach of the same provision of this Agreement, it may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if Grantor, after Lender sends written notice demanding cure of such default, (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (b), it the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient, to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies: ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would he required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice. ASSEMBLE COLLATERAL. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after repossession. SELL THE COLLATERAL. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Grantor reasonable notice of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at least ten (10) days, or such lesser time as required by state law, before the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until repaid. APPOINT RECEIVER. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment of a receiver: (a) Lender may have a receiver appointed as a matter of right, (b) the receiver may be an employee of Lender and may serve without bond, and (c) all fees of the receiver and his or her attorney shall become part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until repaid. COLLECT REVENUES, APPLY ACCOUNTS. Lender, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the Collateral. Lender may at any time in its discretion transfer any Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage or any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender. OBTAIN DEFICIENCY. If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Grantor for any deficiency remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement, Grantor shall be liable for a deficiency even if it the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper. 36 6 10-24-1996 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT (Continued) OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law, in equity, or otherwise. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All of Lenders rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or the Related Documents or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its remedies.
