Secured Party may examine and inspect the Collateral at any reasonable time, upon reasonable notice in advance, wherever located.

Debtor shall perform, observe, and comply in all material respects with all of the material terms and provisions to be performed, observed or complied with by it under each contract, agreement or obligation relating to the Collateral to the extent that any non-compliance could reasonably be expected to impair the Debtor’s ownership or control of the Collateral.

(d) Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party of any claim against the Collateral adverse to the interest of Secured Party therein not mentioned herein.

9. Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing agreement and the grant of a security interest hereunder will remain in full force and effect and all the rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder will continue to exist until all indebtedness owing by Debtor to Secured Party has been paid in full. Once such indebtedness has been paid in full, the Secured Party shall promptly execute and, if applicable, file all such documents or instruments, and take all such other actions as the Debtor may reasonably request in order to evidence that no lien or security interest continues to exist favor of Secured Party. And, if requested to do so upon the Debtor’s entry into any transaction in which the Secured Party is to be repaid in full as part of any such transaction, the Secured Party shall cooperate in good faith with the Debtor to provide to any other party or parties to such transaction such information, and to execute any such documents or instruments, as may be reasonably requested by the Debtor or any such third party in connection with the consummation of such transaction. In such event, the Debtor shall provide to the Secured Party such non-confidential information concerning such transaction, and such evidence of the payment of proceeds to the Secured Party upon the consummation thereof, as the Secured Party may request.
10. Preservation of Liability. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by Secured Party of (or the failure to so exercise) any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law will be construed as relieving any person liable on the Obligation from liability on the Obligation and for any deficiency thereon.
11. Insurance. Debtor does not intend to maintain any insurance coverage for the Collateral, but shall cooperate with Secured Party to obtain coverage at Secured Party’s sole discretion.
12. No Implied Waivers. No delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy created by, connected with or provided for in this Agreement or arising from any default by Debtor or by any other person or entity the performance of whose obligations is secured hereby, shall be construed as or be deemed to be an acquiescence in or a waiver of such default or a waiver of or limitation upon the right of Secured Party to exercise, at any time and from time to time thereafter, any right or remedy under this Agreement, provided that until such time as the Secured Party shall have exercised any right in connection with any default under this Agreement, the Debtor shall be entitled to cure such default as provided for herein and the Secured Party may not, thereafter, exercise any rights against such prior cured default. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants or conditions in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in or consent to any previous or subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant or condition.
13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with each of the Note and Settlement Agreement, contains the entire understanding and agreement of Debtor and Secured Party with respect to the subject matter hereof. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Debtor therefrom will be effective unless made in a writing signed by both parties (provided, however, that a unilateral waiver or consent given by the Secured Party does not have to be signed by the Debtor), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given as recited therein. No notice to or demand on the Debtor in any case will entitle the Debtor to any other or further notice or demand in connection with the same case, similar or other circumstance. No provision of this Agreement or right of Secured Party hereunder can be waived, nor shall Debtor be released from its obligations hereunder, except by a writing duly executed by Secured Party.

14. Assignment/Transfer of Indebtedness. The Secured Party may at any time assign this Agreement and the Note in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Debtor, in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon a transfer by Secured Party of all or any portion of the indebtedness secured hereby, Secured Party may transfer therewith all or any portion of the security interest created hereunder, but Secured Party shall retain all of its rights hereunder with respect to any part of such indebtedness and any part of its security interest hereunder not so transferred. Debtor cannot assign or transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement or in the Collateral to any third party without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Any transfer by Debtor without Secured Party’s consent shall be an additional Event of Default hereunder.
15. Successors and Assigns. The covenants and agreements herein contained by or on behalf of Debtor will bind Debtor, and Debtor’s legal representatives, successors and assigns and will inure to the benefit of Secured Party and Secured Party’s successors and assigns.
16. Term; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect until the Obligation has been fully performed and paid. Upon expiration and payment or conversion in full of the Obligation, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and Debtor shall be permitted to file or cause Secured Party to file one or more UCC termination statements with respect to the Collateral. Each of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon Debtor and its legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall insure to the benefit of Secured Party and its legal representatives, successors and assigns.
17. Rules of Construction. Terms used in the singular shall apply to the plural, and vice versa, as the context requires; likewise masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall be interchangeable as the context requires. The use of the disjunctive term “or” does not imply an exclusion of the conjunctive, i.e., “or” shall have the same meaning as the expression “and/or.” “Including” shall not be limiting. Headings and section titles are for convenience of reference only and are not substantive parts of this Agreement, and shall not be given effect in construing the provisions of this Agreement. Each reference to the Note shall mean the Note as from time to time extended, modified, renewed, restated, reaffirmed, supplemented or amended.
18. Invalidity and Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
19. Power of Attorney. Debtor appoints Secured Party and any officer thereof as Debtor’s attorney in fact with full power in Debtor’s name and behalf to do every act which Debtor is obligated to do or may be required to do hereunder; however, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to obligate Secured Party to take any action hereunder nor shall Secured Party be liable to Debtor for failure to take any action hereunder. This appointment shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and shall not be terminable as long as the Obligation is outstanding and shall not terminate on the disability or incompetence of Debtor.
