It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such dispositions;

While an Event of Default exists:
(a) the Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time, as requested by Lender, current lists of all Collateral;
(b) the Grantor will not dispose of any Collateral except in the ordinary course of business or on terms approved by the Collateral Agent;
(c) at the Collateral Agent’s request, the Grantor will assemble and deliver all Collateral, and books and records pertaining thereto, to the Collateral Agent at a reasonably convenient place designated by Lender; and

With respect to any sale by the Collateral Agent of any Collateral subject to this Agreement, the Grantor expressly grants to the Collateral Agent the right to sell such Collateral using any or all of the Grantor’s trademarks, trade names, trade name rights and/or proprietary labels or marks. The Grantor further agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.
11. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral, may be applied by the Collateral Agent to the payment of expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, including attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by the Collateral Agent toward the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as the Collateral Agent may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent may transfer all or any part of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged from all liability and responsibility with respect to such transferred Collateral, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Lender hereunder; but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies.
14. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and all commitments by Purchasers to extend credit to the Grantor under the Note Purchase Agreement have been terminated, the power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to the Collateral Agent shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal liability of the Grantor may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Obligations and Indebtedness secured by this Agreement.
15. FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time upon the request of the Collateral Agent, the Grantor will execute or deliver to the Collateral Agent any and all financing statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, endorsements, certificates of title, mortgages, deeds of trust and all other documents (the “Additional Documents”) that the Collateral Agent may request and in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, to create, perfect, and continue perfection or to better perfect the Collateral Agent’s liens in all of the assets of the Grantor (whether now owned or hereafter arising of acquired, tangible or intangible, real or personal), and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement and related agreements. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if the Grantor refuses or fails to execute or deliver any requested Additional Documents, the Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute such Additional Documents in Grantor’s name, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Grantor shall take such actions as the Collateral Agent may request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Grantor. The Grantor shall not file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
16. SUBROGATION RIGHTS. Until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and all commitments by Purchasers to extend credit to the Grantor under the Note Purchase Agreement have been terminated, the Grantor shall not have any right of subrogation or contribution or similar right, and the Grantor waives any benefit of or right to participate in any of the Collateral or any other security now or later held by the Collateral Agent.
17. WAIVERS OF GRANTOR.

19. COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. Grantor shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of Lender's counsel), expended or incurred by Lender in connection with or related to this Agreement as set forth in Section 7.6 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
20. SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNS; AMENDMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties, and may be amended or modified only in writing signed by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor.

22. GOVERNING LAW. The validity of this Agreement and the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this Agreement, and the rights of the parties, as well as all claims, controversies or disputes arising under or related to this Agreement will be determined under, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard conflicts of laws principles.
23. LIMITED AGENCY; NO FIDUCIARY OR OTHER DUTIES. The term “Collateral Agent” is used herein in reference to the Collateral Agent merely as a matter of custom; it is intended to reflect only an administrative relationship between the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers. The Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Purchaser agree that it is the intent of the parties to limit the scope of the powers and the duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent to the specific powers delegated and the specific duties and obligations imposed hereunder, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and the Collateral Agent does not and shall not have any right or authority to bind the Purchasers in any other manner or thing whatsoever or have any duty, obligation or responsibility as a fiduciary or any other duty, obligation or responsibility not expressly set forth herein.
24. JURISDICTION. All actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement may be tried and litigated in the State and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, federal courts located in the City of Minneapolis and the County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota; provided that any suit seeking enforcement against any Collateral or other property may be brought, at the Collateral Agent’s option, in the courts of any jurisdiction where the Collateral Agent elects to bring such action or where such Collateral or other property may be found. The Grantor and the Collateral Agent waive, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any right they may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to the extent any proceeding is brought.
25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE GRANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS, IF ANY, TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.
