| (b) | The Lender has the right at any time after demand or the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default hereunder, directly or through its agent, to collect proceeds directly from Account Debtors, on any Collateral and for that purpose to do all acts and things necessary or incident thereto, including the right to sue on such accounts, and to sell, transfer, set over, compromise, discharge, or extend the whole or any part of the accounts. |
| (c) | Borrower does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Lender as Borrower's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to endorse the name of Borrower or any of Borrower's officers or agents upon any notices, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under any policy of insurance on the Collateral) or Collateral that may come into possession of the Lender in full or part payment of any amounts owing to Lender; to sign and endorse the name of Borrower or any of Borrower's officers or agents upon any warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and any instruments or documents relating thereto, or to Borrower's rights therein; to give written notice to such office or officials of the United States Post Office to effect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to the Borrower may be delivered directly to the Lender; granting unto Borrower's said attorney full power to do any and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully and effectually as Borrower might or could do, and hereby ratifying all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
