7. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable in full without notice or demand. Secured Party shall have all rights and remedies provided by the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof. In addition to, or in conjunction with, or substitution for such rights and remedies, Secured Party may at any time and from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) with or without notice to Debtor, foreclose the security interest created herein by any available judicial procedure, or take possession of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, with or without judicial process, and enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the same, or rendering the same unusable, or disposing of the Collateral on such premises, and Debtor agrees not to resist or interfere therewith;

(b) require Debtor to prepare, assemble or collect the Collateral, at Debtor's own expense, and make the same available to Secured Party at such place as Secured Party may designate, whether at Debtor's premises or elsewhere;

(c) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, whether in its then condition or after further preparation, in Debtor's name or in its own name, or in the name of such party as Secured Party may designate, either at public or private sale (at which Secured Party shall have the right to purchase), in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, with or without representations or warranties, and upon such other terms as Secured Party, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable; and ten days' written notice of such public sale date or dates after which private sale may occur, or such lesser period of time in the case of an emergency, shall constitute reasonable notice hereunder;

(d) execute and deliver documents of title, certifi-cates of origin, or other evidence of payment, shipment or storage of any Collateral or proceeds on behalf of and in the name of Debtor;

 
17


(e) remedy any default by Debtor hereunder, without waiving such default, and any monies expended in so doing shall be chargeable with interest to Debtor and added to the Obligations secured hereby; and

(f) apply for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Debtor.

8. Cumulative Rights. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Secured Party herein, or in any instrument or document related hereto, or provided or implied by law or in equity shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently on any one or more occasions.

9. Debtor's Representations and Warranties. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party that:

(a) Debtor is not in default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound. Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agree-ment, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court of governmental authority, or will conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed or trust, agreement or other instrument to which Debtor is a party or by which Debtor may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim or encumbrance upon any property of Debtor.

(b) Debtor has the power to execute, deliver and perform the provisions of this Agreement and all instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered pursuant hereto, and has taken or caused to be taken all necessary or appropriate actions to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all such instruments and documents.

(c) Debtor is the legal and equitable owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims and encumbrances of every kind and nature. Except as may be set forth in Exhibit A annexed hereto, no financing statement covering the Collateral or its proceeds is on file in any public office.

(d) No default exists, and no event which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under the Collateral by any party

 
18


thereto, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses against the obligations evidenced by the Collateral, except as may be expressly set forth in Exhibit A annexed hereto.

10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if sent by Federal Express courier or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, addressed to the parties at their respective addresses herein above set forth, or at such other addresses as the parties may designate in writing. Debtor immediately shall notify Secured Party of any change in the address of Debtor or discontinuance of the place of business or residence of Debtor.

11. Modification and Waiver. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent by Secured Party to any breach thereof by Debtor, shall be effective unless such modification or waiver shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party, and the same shall then be effective only for the period and on the conditions and for the specific instances and purposes specified in such writing. No course of dealing between Debtor and Secured Party in exercising any rights or remedies hereunder shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder. All such rights and remedies shall continue unimpaired, notwithstanding any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted with respect to any of the Obligations. Debtor hereby waives all notice of any such delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or indulgence, and consents to be bound thereby as fully and effectually as if Debtor expressly had agreed thereto in advance. The aforesaid Note may be negotiated by Secured Party, without releasing Debtor or the Collateral.

12. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Secured Party may assign this Agreement, and if assigned, the assignee shall be entitled, upon notifying Debtor, to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations and agreements of Debtor hereunder and to all of the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, and Debtor will assert no claims or defenses Debtor may have against Secured Party against the assignee. The gender and number used in this Agreement are used for reference term only and shall apply with the same effect whether the parties are masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural.

13. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not effect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Debtor covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to Secured Party on demand such ad-ditional assurances, writings and instruments as may be required by Secured Party for purposes of effectuating the intent of this Agreement. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.
