3. DEBTOR WARRANTS, COVENANTS, AND AGREES THAT:

(a) Debtor is the absolute and exclusive owner of the above-described collateral, and any marks or brands used to describe

livestock are the holding brands and carry the title, although the livestock may have other marks or brands, and such collateral is free from all liens, encumbrances, security and other interests except (1) any existing liens, encumbrances, security or other interests in favor of Secured Party which shall remain in full force and effect; (2) any applicable landlord's statutory liens; and (3) other liens, encumbrances, security or other interests previously disclosed to Secured Party in the loan application, farm operating plan or other loan documents. Debtor will defend the collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons.

(b) Statements contained in Debtor's loan application and related loan documents are true and correct and that Debtor's name, as stated in the loan application and in this Security Agreement, is Debtor's complete legal name; and Debtor will (1) use the loan funds for the purposes for which they were or are advanced; (2) comply with such farm operating plans as may be agreed upon from time to time by Debtor and Secured Party; (3) care for and maintain collateral in a good and husbandlike manner; (4) insure the collateral in such amounts and manner as may be required by Secured Party, and if Debtor fails to do so, Secured Party, at its option, may procure such insurance; (5) permit Secured Party to inspect the collateral at any reasonable time; (6) not abandon the collateral or encumber, conceal, remove, sell or otherwise dispose of it or of any interest in the collateral, or permit others to do so, without the prior written consent of Secured Party; (7) not permit the collateral to be levied upon, injured or destroyed, or its value to be impaired, except by using harvested crops in amounts necessary to care for livestock covered by this Security Agreement; and (8) maintain accurate records of the collateral, furnish Secured Party any requested information related to the collateral and allow Secured Party to inspect and copy all records relating to the collateral.

(c) Debtor will pay promptly when due all (1) indebtedness evidenced by the Note and any indebtedness to Secured Party secured by this Security Agreement; (2) rents, taxes, insurance premiums, levies, assessments, liens, and other encumbrances, and costs of lien searches and maintenance and other charges now or later attaching to, levied on, or otherwise pertaining to the collateral or this security interest; (3) filing or recording fees for instruments necessary to perfect, continue, service, or terminate this security interest; and (4) fees and other charges now or later required by regulations of the Secured Party.

(d) Secured Party is authorized to file financing statements describing the collateral, to file amendments to the financing

Statements, and to file continuation statements.

(e) Debtor will immediately notify Secured Party of: any material change in the collateral or in the collateral's location; change in Debtor's name, address, or location; change in any warranty or representation in this Security Agreement; change that may affect this security interest or its perfection; and any event of default.

(f) Secured Party may at any time pay any other amounts required in this instrument to be paid by Debtor and not paid when due, including any costs and expenses for the preservation or protection of the collateral or this security interest, as advances for the account of Debtor. All such advances shall bear interest at the rate borne by the Note which has the highest interest rate.

(g) All advances by Secured Party as described in this Security Agreement, together with interest, shall be immediately due and payable by Debtor to Secured Party without demand and shall be secured by this Security Agreement. No such advance by Secured Party shall relieve Debtor from breach of the covenant to pay. Any payment made by Debtor may be applied on the Note or any indebtedness to Secured Party secured hereby, in any order Secured Party determines.

(h) In order to secure or better secure the above-mentioned obligations or indebtedness, Debtor agrees to execute any further

documents, including additional security instruments on such real and personal property as Secured Party may require and to take any further actions reasonably requested by Secured Party to evidence or perfect the security interest granted herein or to effectuate the rights granted to Secured Party herein.

4. IT IS FURTHER AGREED THAT:

(a) Until default, Debtor may retain possession of the collateral.

(b) Default shall exist under this Security Agreement if Debtor fails to perform or discharge any obligation or to pay promptly any indebtedness secured by this Security Agreement or to observe or perform any covenants or agreements in this Security Agreement or in any supplementary agreement contained, or if any of Debtor's representations or warranties herein prove false or misleading, or upon the death or incompetency of the parties named as Debtor, or upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of any one of the parties named as Debtor. Default shall also exist if any loan proceeds are used for a purpose that will contribute to excessive erosion of highly erodible land or to the conversion of wetlands, as described in 7 CFR Part 12 or any successor regulation. Upon any default:

(1) Secured Party, at its option, with or without notice as permitted by law may (a) declare the unpaid balance on the Note and any indebtedness secured by this Security Agreement immediately due and payable; (b) enter upon the premises and cultivate and harvest crops, take possession of, repair, improve, use, and operate the collateral or make equipment usable, for the purpose of protecting or preserving the collateral or this lien, or preparing or processing the collateral for sale, and (c) exercise any sale or other rights accorded by law. Secured Party may disclaim all warranties relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment, merchantability, fitness or the like in any disposition of the collateral;

(2) Debtor (a) agrees to assemble the collateral and make it available to Secured Party at such times and places as designated by Secured Party; and (b) waives all notices, exemptions, compulsory disposition and redemption rights;

(3) A default shall exist under any other security instrument held by Secured Party and executed or assumed by Debtor on

real or personal property. Likewise, default under such other security instrument shall constitute default under this

(c) Proceeds from disposition of collateral shall be applied first on expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, processing, selling and the like and for payment of reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by Secured Party, second to the satisfaction of prior security interests or liens to the extent required by law and in accordance with current regulations of the Secured Party, third to the satisfaction of indebtedness secured by this Security Agreement, fourth to the satisfaction of subordinate security interests to the extent required by law, fifth to any obligations of Debtor owing to Secured Party and sixth to Debtor. Any proceeds collected under insurance policies shall be applied first on advances and expenditures made by Secured Party, with interest, as provided above, second on the debt evidenced by the Note, unless Secured Party consents in writing to their use by Debtor under Secured Party's direction for repair or replacement of the collateral, third on any other obligation of Debtor owing to Secured Party, and any balance shall be paid to Debtor unless otherwise provided in the insurance policies. Debtor will be liable for any deficiency owed to Secured Party after such disposition of proceeds of the collateral and insurance.

(d) It is the intent of Debtor and Secured Party that to the extent permitted by law and for the purpose of this Security Agreement, no collateral covered by this Security Agreement is or shall become realty or accessioned to other goods.

(e) Debtor agrees that the Secured Party will not be bound by any present or future State exemption laws. Debtor expressly

WAIVES the benefit of any such State laws.

(f) Secured Party may comply with any applicable State or Federal law requirements in connection with the disposition of the

(g) This Security Agreement is subject to the present regulations of the Secured Party and to its future regulations not inconsistent with the express provisions of this Security Agreement.

(h) If any provision of this Security Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall not affect any other provisions, but this

(i) The rights and privileges of Secured Party under this Security Agreement shall accrue to the benefit of its successors and

assigns. All covenants, warranties, representations, and agreements of Debtor contained in this Security Agreement are joint and several and shall bind personal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns.

reasonable rates and terms for loans for similar purposes and periods of time, Debtor will, upon Secured Party's request,

apply for and accept such loan in sufficient amount to pay the Note and any indebtedness secured by this Security

Agreement. Debtor will be responsible for any application fees or purchase of stock in connection with such loan. The

provisions of this paragraph do not apply if the Note secured by this Security Agreement is for a Conservation Loan.

(k) Failure of the Secured Party to exercise any right, whether once or often, shall not be construed as a waiver of any covenant or condition or of the breach of such covenant or condition. Such failure shall also not affect the exercise of such right without notice upon any subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant or condition.

(l) SECURED PARTY HAS INFORMED DEBTOR THAT DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY COVERED BY THIS

SECURITY AGREEMENT WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF SECURED PARTY, OR MAKING ANY FALSE

STATEMENT IN THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, MAY CONSTITUTE A

VIOLATION OF FEDERAL CRIMINAL LAW.

(m) Debtor(s) acknowledge(s) that Secured Party loaned money to me/us to purchase items of collateral that serve as

security for my/our loan, thereby, giving Secured Party a Purchase Money Security Interest in those items of collateral listed in Part 2 with an asterisk*.
