and all proceeds, replacements and insurance payments for it.

3. Possession

4. Perfection

Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file a UCC-1 financing statement and to take any other step needed to perfect the security interest, such as noting a lien on a certificate of title.

5. Debtor's Promises

Debtor states that Debtor owns the Collateral free of other liens, and promises to: keep it in good condition; keep it insured against loss for at least its value, naming Secured Party as loss payee; not sell, lease or give a security interest in it without Secured Party's written consent; and let Secured Party inspect it on reasonable notice.

On default, Secured Party has the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. It may take possession of the Collateral without breach of the peace, and sell or dispose of it in a commercially reasonable manner after giving Debtor the notice the law requires. The proceeds will be applied to the costs of sale and then to the Debt. Any surplus goes to Debtor, and Debtor remains liable for any deficiency, except where the law provides otherwise.

8. Release

When the Debt is paid in full, Secured Party will return any Collateral it holds and file a termination statement within the time the law requires.
