otherwise;  and each of us, as to property in which we or any of us may have any
interest  as  aforesaid,  or may have had  possession  or custody as  aforesaid,
expressly  authorize  you in  any  such  event,  to  sell,  assign  and  deliver
immediately (but you shall not be obliged to do so), without demand for payment,

or times and at such place or places and for such price or prices and upon terms
and conditions as you may deem proper, and to apply the net proceeds of any such
sale or sales, together with any balance of deposits and any sums credited by or

amount we owe you shall bear interest (to be added to our liabilities to you) at
the  rate of two  percent  (2%)  over the  rates  applicable  to your  financial

which executes this agreement in its corporate name by its proper officers, such
execution  shall  bind  only  the  corporation  unless  additionally  signed  by
individuals as such.
