SECTION 6.

Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.

(a)

Borrower hereby authorizes Agent at any time and from time to time to file, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such financing statements that (A) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” (or words of similar effect) or that describe or identify the Collateral by type or in any other manner as Agent may determine, regardless of whether any particular asset of Borrower falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC or whether any particular asset of Borrower constitutes part of the Collateral, and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including, without limitation, whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower).  A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

(b)

Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority and power of substitution in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or otherwise, in Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of Borrower under Section 7(a) hereof) and to do any of the following when an Event of Default is continuing, including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Agent or the Lenders with respect to any Collateral, (v) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of Agent with respect to any Collateral, (vi) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Agent in its discretion, and such payments made by Agent to become Obligations of Borrower to Lenders, due and payable immediately without demand, and (vii) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts, Chattel Paper and other documents relating to the Collateral.  THIS POWER AND PROXY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND IS IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH ALL OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN INDEFEASIBLY PAID IN FULL IN CASH.  THIS POWER AND PROXY

-4-

SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PERSON.  Borrower ratifies all actions taken by Agent pursuant to this power and proxy granted.  All prior proxies granted by Borrower with respect to the subject matter hereof are hereby revoked.

(c)

If Borrower fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of Borrower or Agent, and the expense of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower and shall be secured by the Collateral.

(d)

The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) upon it to exercise any such powers.  Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral and shall be relieved of all responsibility for any Collateral in its possession upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to Borrower (or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct).  Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Agent shall not have responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters.  Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by Agent in good faith.

SECTION 7.

Remedies Upon Default.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan:

(a)

Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of 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) take control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require Borrower to, and Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at a place or places to be designated by Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by Borrower where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate Agent's rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to Borrower in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or

-5-

more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent's offices, at any exchange or broker's board or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Agent may reasonably deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as Agent may reasonably deem commercially reasonable.  Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' prior notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement prior to or at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Borrower hereby waives any claims against Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that Borrower may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof.  Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the Collateral by Agent shall be made without warranty, (ii) Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, (iii) Agent may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness), if permitted by law, for the purchase, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account of Lenders, and (iv) such actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral.

(b)

In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lenders are legally entitled, Borrower shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by Agent or the Lenders to collect such deficiency.

(c)

Borrower hereby acknowledges that if Agent complies with any applicable requirements of law in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.

(d)

Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of Agent's 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 Borrower lawfully may, Borrower hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent's rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

(b)

Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by any of the Borrower, (iii) notice of any actions taken by Agent, or any other Person under the Loan and any other agreement, document or instrument relating thereto, (iv) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this subsection (b), might constitute grounds for relieving Borrower of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder and (v) any requirement that Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or other lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against Borrower or any other Person or any collateral.
