In HSIs discretion, if a Grantor fails to do so, HSI may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, maintain any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary insurance premiums. Each Grantor agrees to reimburse HSI on demand for all expenditures so made. HSI shall have no obligation to any Grantor to make any such expenditures. |
(b) | HSIs Obligations and Duties. HSIs sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, if any, under Section 9-207 of the UCC of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as HSI deals with similar property for its own account. |

13. No Waiver by HSI, etc. HSI shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by HSI. No delay or omission on the part of HSI in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of HSI with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as HSI deems expedient.
14. Suretyship Waivers by Grantor. Each Grantor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, each Grantor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as HSI may deem advisable. HSI shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 10(b). Each Grantor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

HSI shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, 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 and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor 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 HSIs rights and remedies 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, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
16. Insurance Proceeds; Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. The proceeds of any casualty insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of the Collateral shall, subject to the rights, if any, of other parties with an interest having priority in the property covered thereby, (i) to the extent that the amount of such proceeds is less than $50,000, be disbursed to a Grantor, as applicable, for direct application by it solely to the repair or replacement of its property so damaged or destroyed, and (ii) in all other circumstances, be held by HSI as cash collateral for the Obligations. HSI may, at its sole option, disburse from time to time all or any part of such proceeds so held as cash collateral, upon such terms and conditions as HSI may reasonably prescribe, for direct application by a Grantor solely to the repair or replacement of its property so damaged or destroyed, or HSI may apply all or any part of such proceeds to the Obligations.
7
Each Grantor shall pay to HSI on demand any and all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by HSI in protecting, preserving or enforcing HSIs rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as HSI may determine proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC of the State, any excess shall be returned to the Grantors. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
17. Termination Statements. Immediately upon satisfaction of the Obligations, HSI shall authorize each Grantor, on behalf of such Grantor and at such Grantors expense, to execute and file termination statements in all jurisdictions in which financing statements were filed in respect of this Agreement, and shall take such other action or refrain from taking any other action as such Grantor may reasonably request, and at such Grantors sole expense, to effectuate the termination of this Agreement and the termination of perfection of any security interest granted in and to the Collateral.

Each Grantor hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.
