     (e)  Obligor  agrees not to  compromise,  settle or adjust  any  account or

   premises  to  give  notice  of  Bank's  security  interest,  and  to  collect
   Collateral  and  proceeds  and to  execute  and  file in  Obligor's  name any
   financing  statements  and  amendments  thereto  required  to perfect  Bank's
   security interest  hereunder,  all to protect and preserve the Collateral and

          connection therewith;

          its value and for preserving or liquidating Collateral.

   suspension  of Bank's  rights  against  an  Obligor,  or any  transfer  of an
   Obligor's  interest to another  shall not affect the  liability  of any other
   Obligor.  Until the Debt shall have been paid or  performed  in full,  Bank's
   rights shall continue even if the Debt is outlawed.  All Obligors waive:  (a)
   any right to require Bank to proceed against any Obligor before any other, or
   to pursue any other remedy;  (b) presentment,  protest and notice of protest,
   demand and notice of nonpayment,  demand or performance,  notice of sale, and
   advertisement  of sale;  (c) any right to the  benefit  of or to  direct  the
   application  of any  Collateral  until the Debt shall have been paid; (d) and
   any right of subrogation to Bank until Debt shall have been paid or performed
   in full.

12.Upon default, at Bank's option,  without demand or notice, all or any part of
   the Debt shall  immediately  become due.  Bank shall have all rights given by
   law, and may sell, in one or more sales,  Collateral in any county where Bank
   has an office. Bank may purchase at such sale. Sales for cash or on credit to
   a  wholesaler,  retailer or user of the  Collateral,  or at public or private
   auction, are all to be considered commercially  reasonable.  Bank may require
   Obligor to  assemble  the  Collateral  and make it  available  to Bank at the
   entrance to the location of the Collateral, or a place designated by Bank.

    Defaults shall include:
     (a)  Obligor's failure to pay or perform this or any agreement with Bank or
          breach of any warranty herein, or Borrower's failure to pay or perform
          any agreement with Bank.
     (b)  Any change in Obligor's or  Borrower's  financial  condition  which in
          Bank's  judgment  impairs  the  prospect  of  Borrower's   payment  or
          performance.
     (c)  Any actual or reasonably  anticipated  deterioration of the Collateral
          or in the market price thereof which causes it, in Bank's judgment, to
          become unsatisfactory as security.
     (d)  Any levy or seizure against Borrower or any of the Collateral.
     (e)  Death, termination of business, assignment for creditors,  insolvency,
          appointment  of  receiver,   or  the  filing  of  any  petition  under
          bankruptcy  or  debtor's  relief  laws of, by or  against  Obligor  or
          Borrower or any guarantor of the Debt.
     (f)  Any warranty or  representation  which is false or is believed in good
          faith by Bank to be false.

13.Bank's  acceptance of partial or  delinquent  payments or the failure of Bank
   to exercise any right or remedy shall not waive any  obligation of Obligor or
   Borrower  or right of Bank to  modify  this  Agreement,  or waive  any  other
   similar default.

14.On  transfer  of all or any part of the Debt,  Bank may  transfer  all or any
   part of the Collateral. Bank may deliver all or any part of the Collateral to
   any Obligor at any time. Any such transfer or delivery  shall  discharge Bank
   from  all  liability  and  responsibility  with  respect  to such  Collateral
   transferred  or delivered.  This  Agreement  benefits  Bank's  successors and
   assigns  and  binds  Obligor's  heirs,  legatees,  personal  representatives,
   successors and assigns.  obligor agrees not to assert against any assignee of
   Bank any  claim  or  defense  that may  exist  against  Bank.  Time is of the
   essence. This Agreement and supplementary schedules hereto contain the entire
   security  agreement  between  Bank and  Obligor.  Obligor  will  execute  any
   additional  agreements,  assignments or documents reasonably required by Bank
   to carry this Agreement into effect.

15.This  Agreement  shall be governed by and  construed in  accordance  with the
   laws of the State of  California,  to the  jurisdiction  of whose  courts the
   Obligor  hereby agrees to submit.  Obligor agrees that service of process may
   be  accomplished  by any means  authorized by California  law. All words used
   herein in the singular  shall be  considered  to have been used in the plural
   where the context and construction so require.

16.To the extent that Obligor  acquires any  trademarks,  service  marks,  trade
   names and service names and/or the goodwill associated therewith, copyrights,
   patents and/or patent  applications  (collectively  'Intellectual  Property),
   Obligor shall give prompt  notice  thereof to Bank and shall take any and all
   actions requested from time to time by Bank to perfect Obligor's  interest in
   such  Intellectual  Property and to perfect  Bank's first  priority  interest
   therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligor agrees
   as follows:  Upon Obligor  creating,  writing,  producing  or  acquiring  any
   software, computer source codes or other computer programs (collectively, the
   'Software'),  Obligor  shall  promptly  register  such Software with the U.S.
   Copyright Office and to the extent Obligor's rights therein are acquired from
   any third party,  Obligor shall promptly upon such  acquisition file with the
   U.S.  Copyright Office any and all documents  necessary to perfect  Obligor's
   rights  therein.  Upon  Obligor  creating,  writing,  producing  or otherwise
   acquiring  any Software,  Obligor  shall give prompt notice  thereof to Bank.
   Obligor shall  execute and deliver to Bank any and all  copyright  mortgages,
   UCC financing  statements and other documents and instruments  which Bank may
   request in connection  with the Bank  perfecting its first priority  security
   interest in such Software.
