The occurrence or non-occurrence of an Event of Default shall in no manner impair the ability of the Lender to demand payment of any portion of the Pledgor's Liabilities which are payable on demand. The Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law in the State of Georgia. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Pledgor, upon demand by the Lender, shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at a place designated by the Lender which is mutually convenient to both parties. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Lender or its agents may enter upon the Pledgor's premises to take possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, or to sell of otherwise dispose of it, all without judicial process or proceedings.

All of such costs and expenses (collectively, the "LIQUIDATION COSTS") together with interest thereon at a simple per annum rate of interest which is equal to the then highest rate of interest charged on the principal of any of the Pledgor's Liabilities, plus one percent (1%) per annum (but in no event higher than the maximum interest rate permitted by law), from the date of payment until repaid in full, shall be paid by the Pledgor to the Lender on demand and shall constitute and become a part of the Pledgor's Liabilities secured hereby. Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by the Lender to the payment of Liquidation Costs and Expense Payments, and any balance of such proceeds will be applied by the Lender to the payment of the remaining Pledgor's Liabilities in such order and manner of application as the Lender may from time to time in its sole discretion determine. 20. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Lender as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Lender or any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Lender of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. 21. Waiver. No failure or delay by the Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of the other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment which does not fully repay any indebtedness then due and payable with respect to any of the Pledgor's Liabilities, the Lender shall not be deemed to have waived the right either to require payment when due of all other Pledgor's Liabilities or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect such payment of any such other Pledgor's Liabilities. The Pledgor waives presentment, notice of dishonor, and notice of non-payment with respect to Accounts and Chattel Paper.
