(a)     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 desirable to accomplish the intent and purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do the following:

 

(i)     to the extent that the Grantor’s authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without the Grantor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in the Grantor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements that may require the Grantor’s signature; and

 

(ii)     at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and at the Grantor’s expense, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the UCC and as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do all other acts and things that the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s security interest therein, or in order to effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do.

 

 
7

 

 

(b)     To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations have been fully and finally satisfied.

 

(c)     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. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantors for any act or failure to act, except for the Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

10.     Default and Remedies.

 

(a)     This Agreement shall be in default upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

 

(b)     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may proceed to:

 

(i)     take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Secured Party may, so far as the Grantor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom;

 

(ii)     collect and receive any and all amounts payable or distributable in respect of the Collateral and hold the same as additional Collateral or apply the same to the Obligations;

 

(iii)     render equipment constituting Collateral unusable;

 

(iv)     dispose of all or any part of the Collateral by public or private sale, in such manner and order as the Secured Party shall determine, subject to and in accordance with applicable requirements of the UCC or other applicable law; and

(c)     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon demand by the Secured Party, the Grantors shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to the Secured Party and the Grantors.

 

(d)     Any notice of sale, lease or other intended disposition of the Collateral by the Secured Party sent to the Grantors at the address hereinafter set forth, or at such other address of the Grantors as may be shown on the Secured Party’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Grantors.

(f)     The Secured Party may waive any Default or Event of Default before or after the same has been declared without impairing its right to declare a subsequent Default or Event of Default hereunder, this right being a continuing one. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under any of the Obligations or Collateral unless such waiver shall be in a record authenticated by a duly authorized representative of the Secured Party.

 

(g)     No right, power, or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Secured Party by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy, but each and every such right, power, and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission by the Secured Party to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Secured Party may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Secured Party.

 

(h)     The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Grantors hereby agree that they will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral or any similar law that might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Grantors hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.

11.     Standards Relating to Exercise of Remedies.

 

(a)     To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Grantors acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (1) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (2) 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, (3) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated in respect of Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or adverse claims against Collateral, (4) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated in respect of Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (5) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, regardless of whether the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (6) to contact other persons, regardless of whether in the same business as the Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (7) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, regardless of whether such Collateral is of a specialized nature, (8) 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, (9) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (10) to disclaim disposition warranties, (11) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks 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 (12) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.

 

(b)     The Grantors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 11 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of actions or omissions by the Secured Party that would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Party’s exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantors 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 11.

 

12.     Termination Statements. So long as any of the Obligations are outstanding or there is any outstanding commitment of the Secured Party to make an advance, incur an obligation or otherwise give value, the Secured Party shall have no obligation to release any of the Collateral or to send or record a termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed to perfect the Secured Party’s security interest(s) in any of the Collateral. Furthermore, the Grantors agree that notwithstanding the full satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of any outstanding commitment of the Secured Party to make an advance, incur an obligation or otherwise give value, the Secured Party shall not be required to send the Grantors a termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed to perfect the Secured Party’s security interest(s) in any of the Collateral unless and until the Grantors shall have made an authenticated demand therefor. Upon receipt of proper authenticated demand, the Secured Party may, at its option, in lieu of sending a termination statement to the Grantors, cause said termination statement to be filed with the appropriate filing officer(s), and will notify the Grantors within a reasonable period of time after taking such action.
