To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Parties to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Parties (a) to incur expenses deemed necessary by the Secured Parties to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Grantors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Grantors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Parties against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Parties a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Parties, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Parties in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Parties would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Parties’ exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantor or to impose any duties on the Secured Parties that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.
4.4 UCC and Offset Rights. The Secured Parties may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Security Agreement or in any other agreements between any Obligor and the Secured Parties, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, including costs of collection and attorneys' and paralegals' fees and costs, and in such order of application as the Secured Parties may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of the Secured Parties to any Obligor, however created or arising, including balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Obligor in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to the Secured Parties. Grantor, on behalf of itself and any Obligor, hereby waives the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit the Secured Parties in the exercise of its right, which is hereby acknowledged, to appropriate at any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from the Secured Parties to any Obligor.
4.5 Additional Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Parties shall have the right and power to:
(a) instruct Grantor, at its own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Grantors, to make payment directly to the Secured Parties of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or the Secured Parties may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of the Secured Parties, and/or of the assignment to the Secured Parties of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to the Secured Parties of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such Persons obligated thereon;

(b) enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder;
(c) take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon;
(d) extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) the Obligations or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;
(e) grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;
(f) transfer the whole or any part of Capital Securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of the Secured Parties or the Secured Parties’ nominee without disclosing, if the Secured Parties so desires, that such Capital Securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of the Secured Parties, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of such Capital Securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that the Secured Parties or such nominee makes any further transfer of such Capital Securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether the Secured Parties or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same;
(g) vote the Collateral;
(h) make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of Bankruptcy Code; provided , however , that any such action of the Secured Parties as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of Grantor hereunder, nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies at law, in equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, Grantor, any guarantor or other Person liable to the Secured Parties for the Obligations; and
(i) at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Security Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder, under the Obligations.
Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms whatever the Secured Parties may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that the Secured Parties shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral other than as a result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

4.6 Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Secured Parties (and any officer of the Secured Parties or any Person designated by the Secured Parties for that purpose) as Grantor's true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in Grantor's name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to (i) take such actions as are permitted in this Security Agreement, (ii) execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as the Secured Parties may require to perfect and preserve the Secured Parties’ security interest in, and to enforce such interests in the Collateral, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, carry out any remedy provided for in this Security Agreement, including endorsing Grantor's name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of Grantor, changing the address of Grantor to that of the Secured Parties, opening all envelopes addressed to Grantor and applying any payments contained therein to the Obligations. Grantor hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Security Agreement.
4.7 No Marshaling. The Secured Parties shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including this Security Agreement and 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. To the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Parties’ rights under this Security 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, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
4.8 No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by the Secured Parties except in writing. No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Parties in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of the Secured Parties to exercise any remedy available to the Secured Parties in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. Grantor agrees that in the event that Grantor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Security Agreement or any other agreements with the Secured Parties, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to the Secured Parties, and further agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

The Secured Parties will within three (3) Business Days after receipt of cash or solvent credits from collection of items of payment, proceeds of Collateral or any other source, apply the whole or any part thereof against the Obligations secured hereby. The Secured Parties shall further have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of such payments and such credits shall be made on the Obligations, and such determination shall be conclusive upon Grantor. Any proceeds of any disposition by the Secured Parties of all or any part of the Collateral may be first applied by the Secured Parties to the payment of expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and costs as provided for in Section 5.13 hereof.
