any manner that would change its nature from that of personal property to real property or
to a fixture.

portion of the proceeds used to purchase a particular item of Collateral will be paid in the
chronological order the Debtor purchased the item.
(m) that if Debtor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity,
Debtor will preserve its existence and not, in one transaction or a series of related
transactions, merge into or consolidate with any other entity, or sell all or substantially all

same may result in imposition of a forfeiture premium or penalty, Debtor hereby
acknowledging that risks of such matters are inherent in granting a security interest in the
Collateral to Secured Party.
(g) No Marshaling. Secured Party has no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Debtor or
any other person or entity, or to sell the Collateral in any particular order.

Obligations by collecting them from any other person or entity liable for them and Secured
Party may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other person or entity to
secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Secured Party’s rights against Debtor.
Debtor waives any right it may have to require Secured Party to pursue any other person or
entity for any of the Obligations.

executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of Secured Party and will bind all persons

performance under this Agreement to the assignee.
(b) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be void, invalid or
