(c) Secured

subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at a private
disposition.
(d) A

relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment, and the like which by operation
of law accompany a voluntary disposition of property of the kind subject to the

evidencing the contract for disposition and including an express disclaimer or
modification of the warranties, and provided further that a Record is sufficient

15
___________ ___________ _________
WM ER DHL
(a) Such
sale or other disposition may be at public or private sale (or at any broker’s
board or on any securities exchange) for cash, upon credit or for future
delivery as Secured Party shall deem appropriate. Secured Party shall
be authorized at any such sale (if Secured Party deems it advisable to do so
with regard to any type or item of Collateral) to restrict the prospective
bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are
purchasing the Collateral for their own use (or for their own account for
investment, as applicable) and not with a view to the distribution or sale
thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale, Secured Party shall have the
right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold
the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of
Debtor, and Debtor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of
redemption, stay and appraisal which Debtor now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted. Secured Party shall give Debtor at least ten (10) days’
written notice (which Debtor agrees is reasonable notice) of Secured Party’s
intention to make any sale of Collateral owned by Debtor. Such
notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such
sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange,
shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day
on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at
such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such
time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as
Secured Party may fix and state in the notice of such sale, and Secured Party
shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if Secured Party shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given, and Secured Party may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
sale, and such sale may, without further notice to Debtor or anyone else, be
made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.
(b) In
case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for
future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until
the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but Secured Party
shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall
fail to take up and pay for Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure,
such of the Collateral may be sold again upon notice to Debtor as set forth in
this Section.
(c) At
any public sale, Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent
permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of
Debtor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent
permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may
make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to
Secured Party from Debtor as a credit against the purchase price, and Secured
Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of
such property without further accountability to Debtor therefor.
(d) For
purposes of any sale of Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, a written
agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as
a sale thereof. Secured Party shall be free to carry out such sale
pursuant to such agreement, and Debtor shall not be entitled to the return of
the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact
that after Secured Party shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events
of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in
full.
(e) Upon
any sale of Collateral by Secured Party (including a sale pursuant to a power of
sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of Secured
Party or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral being sold, and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to Secured Party or such officer or be answerable in
any way for the misapplication thereof.

any Event of Default, and in addition to such other rights and remedies as
Secured Party may have under other provisions of this Agreement or any other
Finance Document, Secured Party may exercise any one or more of its rights and
remedies under common or statutory law. No failure or delay on the
part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or

Secured Party would otherwise have and may be exercised
simultaneously. No notice to or demand on Debtor in any case shall
entitle Debtor or any other obligor or any other Person to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the

without notice or demand.
