Dataram agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed instead of the original. 4. Default. If any of the sums of principal or interest mentioned herein are not promptly paid when due, or if each and every agreement, stipulation, condition and covenant of this Agreement are not fully performed, complied with or abided by, or if Dataram shall file or have a petition filed against it under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise admits in writing a failure to pay debts as they fall due (an "Event of Default"), then any Payment Obligations shall at the option of the holder hereof become at once due and collectible without notice, time being of the essence.

If such proceeds are insufficient to pay the amounts required by this Agreement, Dataram shall be liable for any deficiency. The right of Sheerr under this paragraph to take possession of and sell the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and Sheerr may, at his election, enforce such right by an action in equity for injunctive relief or specific performance. 6.

Judicial Proceedings; Jury Trial Waiver. Any judicial proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in Mercer County, the State of New Jersey or in Montgomery County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and each party hereto hereby waives any objection that they may have to the laying of venue in any such court or that any such court is an inconvenient forum or does not have personal jurisdiction over them.

No failure or delay on the part of Sheerr in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Sheerr hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other right, remedy, power or privilege or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 10.
