NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows:

3.         Warranties of Title, etc. The Buyer hereby:  (a) covenants with the Seller, his successors and assigns that the Buyer is the lawful owner of the Collateral and has the right to sell, assign, convey and grant a security interest in the same and that the Collateral is free and clear of all encumbrances and security interests (other than that of the Seller); (b) warrants and covenants to forever defend the title of the Collateral unto the Seller, his successors and assigns against the claims of all person whomsoever, whether lawful or unlawful;  (c) warrants that no financing statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds therefrom is on file at any public office; and  (d) agrees, promptly upon request from the Seller to join with the Seller in executing one or more financing statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form satisfactory to the Seller and to pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is deemed necessary or prudent by the Seller.

4.         Taxes and Assessments.

5.         Insurance. For so long as this Agreement shall remain effective, Buyer agrees to maintain insurance coverage on all Collateral secured hereby and further agrees to have Seller named as loss payee on all such insurance policies.

6.         Non-Waiver. It is agreed that no delay in exercising any right or option given or granted hereby to the Seller shall be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall a single or partial exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  Seller may permit the Buyer to remedy any default without waiving the default so remedied, and Seller may waive any default without waiving any other subsequent or prior default by the Buyer.
