Any surplus shall be paid to the person entitled thereto. Purchaser shall promptly pay any deficiency to Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that sales for cash or on credit to a wholesaler, retailer or user of the Units or additional security, and with or without the Units or additional security being present at such sale, are all commercially reasonable. Purchaser agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) and all costs and expenses incurred by Seller in enforcing this Contract. The remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity. If Purchaser fails to perform any of its obligations under this Contract, Seller may (but need not) at any time thereafter perform such obligations and the expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Purchaser upon demand. 9. SECURITY INTEREST: PURCHASER ASSURANCES AND REPRESENTATIONS: To secure payment of Purchaser's indebtedness to Seller hereunder and the performance of all obligations of Purchaser hereunder, Purchaser hereby grants to Seller a continuing security interest in the Units, and in the equipment, if any, described as Additional Security on the front of this Contract, including all attachments, accessories and optional features for such Units and Additional Security (whether or not installed thereon) and all substitutions, replacements, additions and accessions thereto, and proceeds of all the foregoing including, but not limited to, proceeds in the form of chattel paper. Purchaser will, at its expense, do any act and execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register and record any Documents which Seller deems desirable in its discretion to protect Seller's security interest and Seller's rights and benefits under this Contract. Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints Seller as Purchaser's Attorney-in-Fact for the signing and filing of such documents and authorizes Seller to delegate these limited powers. Purchaser acknowledges the signature of Seller or said delegatee upon such documents to be the same as Purchaser's own for all purposes and with the present intent to authenticate the document.

ASSIGNMENT; COUNTERPARTS: The rights and remedies of Seller under this Contract may be assigned by Seller at any time. If this Contract is assigned by Seller, the term "Seller" shall thenceforth mean Seller's assignee, and if assigned to a partnership, shall thenceforth mean such partnership and, for purposes of Sections 2, 4, 5 and 6, each partner in such partnership. If notified by Seller, Purchaser shall make all payments due hereunder directly to the party designated in such notice without any offset or deduction whatsoever. Purchaser waives, as to Seller's assignee, all claims and defenses Purchaser may have or assert against Seller and agrees that no such claim or defense will be asserted against Seller's assignee. No assignment of this Contract by Seller shall release any claim Purchaser may have against Seller hereunder. No assignment of this Contract or any right or obligation hereunder may be made by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller. This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns.

EFFECT OF WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT; NOTICES: No delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy accruing to Seller hereunder shall impair any such right or remedy nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any breach or default of Purchaser. Any waiver or consent by Seller under this Contract must be in writing specifically set forth. This Contract completely states the rights of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Units and supersedes all prior agreements with respect thereto. No variation or modification of this Contract shall be valid unless in writing.
