IV. POWER OF ATTORNEY; NOTICES
SECTION 4.01. Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor or in the Secured Party’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby give said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to (a) upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, endorse the names of such Grantor on any checks, notes, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into the possession of the Secured Party or any affiliate of the Secured Party, to sign the Grantor’s name on invoices or bills-of-lading, drafts against customers, notices of assignment, verifications and schedules, (b) upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, sell, transfer, pledge, make any arrangement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral consistent with the UCC and (c) do acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s security interest therein. The powers granted herein, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement is terminated. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Neither the Secured Party nor any attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act or omission, error in judgment or mistake of law provided the same is not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 4.02. Notices. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral that the Collateral have been assigned to the Secured Party or of its security interest therein and to direct such account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to a Grantor directly to the Secured Party and upon such notification and at such Grantor’s expense to enforce collection of any such Collateral, and to adjust, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise upon any terms the amount of payment thereof. The Secured Party may, at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, notify the Postal Service authorities to change the address of delivery of mail to an address designated by the Secured Party. After making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, each Grantor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, Chattel Paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by it as trustee for the Secured Party without commingling the same with such Grantor and shall turn the same over to the Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of collection of such Collateral received by the Secured Party to the Obligations, in such order as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, shall determine, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.
V. REMEDIES OF SECURED PARTY
SECTION 5.01. Enforcement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have, in addition to all of its other rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by operation of law or otherwise (which rights shall be cumulative), all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, without charge, to enter any Grantor’s premises, and until it completes the enforcement of its rights in the Collateral subject to its security interest hereunder and the sale or other disposition of any property subject thereto, take possession of such premises without charge, rent or payment therefor (through self help without judicial process and without having first given notice or obtained an order of any court), or place custodians in control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same for the purpose of completing any work in progress, preparing any Collateral for disposition, and disposition of or collecting any Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may, without demand, advertising or notice, all of which such Grantor hereby waives (except as the same may be required by law), sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of and grant options to a third party to purchase, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral held by it or for its account at any time or times in one or more public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash, on credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, deems advisable. At any such sale the Collateral or any portion thereof may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as the Secured Party in its sole discretion deems advisable. Each Grantor agrees that if notice of sale shall be required by law such requirement shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address set forth above or such other address as it may have, in writing, provided to the Secured Party, at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale or disposition. The Secured Party may postpone or adjourn any sale of any Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of the sale to be so postponed or adjourned, without being required to give a new notice of sale. Notice of any public sale shall be sufficient if it describes the security of the Collateral to be sold in general terms, stating the amounts thereof, the nature of the business in which such Collateral was created and the location and nature of the properties covered by the other security interests or mortgages and the prior liens thereof. The Secured Party may be the purchaser at any such sale if it is public, free from any right of redemption, which such Grantor also waives, and payment may be made, in whole or in part, in respect of such purchase price by the application of the Obligations by the Secured Party. Each Grantor with respect to its property constituting such Collateral, shall be obligated for, and the proceeds of sale shall be applied first to, the costs of taking, assembling, finishing, collecting, refurbishing, storing, guarding, insuring, preparing for sale, and selling the Collateral, including the fees and disbursements of attorneys, auctioneers, appraisers and accountants employed by the Secured Party. Proceeds shall then be applied to the payment, in whatever order the Secured Party may elect, of all of the Obligations. The Secured Party shall return any excess to such Grantor or to whomever may be fully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In the event that the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full the Obligations, such Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
SECTION 5.02. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business each Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risk of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 5.02 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party would fulfill the Secured Party’s duties under the UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in other relevant jurisdiction in the Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 5.02. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall be construed to grant any rights to each Grantor or to impose any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 5.02.
SECTION 5.03. Waiver. Each Grantor waives any right, to the extent applicable law permits, to receive prior notice of, or a judicial or other hearing with respect to, any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Secured Party to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of the Collateral in any instance (regardless of where such Collateral may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or by applicable law, or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder and such Grantor also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any bond, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or otherwise by law as an incident to any taking of possession by the Secured Party of property subject to the Secured Party’s Lien. Each Grantor further waives any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document including the taking of possession of any Collateral all to the extent that such waiver is permitted by law and to the extent that such damages are not caused by the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and any other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties and each Grantor acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice and has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder.
SECTION 5.04. Other Rights. Each Grantor agrees that the Secured Party shall not have any obligation to preserve rights to any Collateral against prior parties or to proceed first against any Collateral or to marshall any Collateral of any kind for the benefit of any other creditors of such Grantor or any other Person. The Secured Party is hereby granted, to the extent that such Grantor is permitted to grant a license or right of use, a license or other right to use, without charge, labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use, of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature of such Grantor as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and such Grantor’s rights under all licenses and any franchise, sales or distribution agreements shall inure to the Secured Party’s benefit.
SECTION 5.05. Expenses. Each Grantor agrees that it shall pay on demand therefor all costs and expenses incurred in amending, implementing, perfecting, collecting, defending, declaring and enforcing the Secured Party’s rights and security interests in the Collateral hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or other instrument or agreement delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including, but not limited to, searches and filings, and the Secured Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees (regardless of whether any litigation is commenced, whether a default is declared hereunder, and regardless of tribunal or jurisdiction).
