          (c) In addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to BIIB, it may exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC, whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral, and also may (i) require RIT to, and RIT hereby agrees that, at its expense and upon the request of BIIB, it forthwith shall assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by BIIB and make it available to BIIB at such places as BIIB may designate, and (ii) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more sales at public or private sales, at any of BIIB’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as is commercially reasonable.

          (h) Upon any sale made under the powers of sale herein granted and conferred, the receipt of BIIB shall be sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for the purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and the heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors and assigns thereof, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of BIIB, be obliged to see to the application thereof or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof unless such purchaser is BIIB or an Affiliate thereof.
     Section 6.2 Effectiveness and Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any Event of Default occur. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, without the need for further action by either party hereto if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is rescinded or reduced in amount or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations pursuant to any Governmental Rule, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.
