6.2. Remedies.
Upon the occurrence of any Default, and at any time thereafter, Lender, at its option, may cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the UCC and any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive to the extent permitted by law. In particular, but not by way of limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
14
and at any time thereafter, Lender, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower), may do any one or more of the following: (i) cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations; (iii) take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which it already has possession) wherever it may be found, and for that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, without judicial process, to enter onto any of such Borrower's premises without interference to search for, take possession of, keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral, and remain (or cause a custodian to remain) on the premises in exclusive control thereof, without charge for so long as Lender deems it reasonably necessary in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, that if Lender seeks to take possession of any of the Collateral by court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives (A) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by law as an incident to such possession, (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession thereof and (C) any requirement that Lender retain possession of, and not dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (iv) require Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at one or more places designated by Lender which are reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Lender may deem advisable; (v) complete the processing, manufacturing or repair of any Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the purpose of removal, Lender shall have the right to use Borrower's premises, vehicles and other Equipment and all other property without charge; (vi) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in its condition at the time Lender obtains possession of it or after further manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public or private sales, in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit (a "Sale"), and to adjourn any such Sale from time to time without notice other than oral announcement at the time scheduled for Sale (and, in connection therewith, (A) Lender shall have the right to conduct such Sale on any Borrower's premises without charge, for such times as Lender deems reasonable, on Lender's premises, or elsewhere, and the Collateral need not be located at the place of Sale; (B) Lender may directly or through any of its Affiliates purchase or lease any of the Collateral at any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition and (C) any Sale of Collateral shall not relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is defective as to title, physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale); (vii) demand payment of and collect any Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments and General Intangibles included in the Collateral and, in connection therewith, each Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to endorse or sign such Borrower's name on all collections, receipts, Instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail addressed to such Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any item of Collateral or Proceeds thereof and, in Lender's sole discretion, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts, General Intangibles and the like for less than face value; and (viii) demand and receive possession of any of any Borrower's federal and state income tax returns and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or relating thereto. Borrower recognizes that if Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, no remedy at law will provide adequate relief to Lender, and agree that Lender shall be entitled to temporary and
15
permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. Any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral required by law will be deemed to be a reasonable authenticated notification of disposition if given at least ten days prior to such disposition and such notice shall (i) describe Lender and the applicable Borrower(s), (ii) describe the Collateral that is the subject of the intended disposition, (iii) state the method of the intended disposition, (iv) state that the applicable Borrower is entitled to an accounting of the Obligations and state the charge, if any, for an accounting and (v) state the time and place of any public disposition or the time after which any private sale is to be made. Lender may disclaim any warranties that might arise in connection with the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral and has no obligation to provide any warranties at such time. Any Proceeds of any disposition by Lender of any of the Collateral may be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses in connection with the Collateral, including legal expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, and any balance of such Proceeds may be applied by Lender toward the payment of such of the Obligations, and in such order of application, as Lender may from time to time elect. Exercise or partial exercise by Lender of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election or bar Lender from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Lender to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

8. LIABILITY
8.1. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and several nature of the obligations of Borrower and the liens and security interests granted by Borrower to secure the obligations, not constitute a "Fraudulent Conveyance" (as defined below). Consequently, Lender and Borrower agree that if the obligations of a Borrower, or any liens or security interests granted by Borrower securing the obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the obligations of Borrower and the liens and security interests securing such obligations shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such obligations or such lien or security interest to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and the obligations of Borrower and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly. For purposes hereof, "Fraudulent Conveyance" means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title II of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.
19
8.2 Lender is hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of Borrower hereunder, to, at any time and from time to time, (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to Borrower's obligations or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Lender; (ii) accept partial payments on Borrower's obligations; (iii) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of Borrower's obligations hereunder or for the payment of any guaranties of Borrower's obligations or other obligations of a Borrower and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; and (iv) apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine. Lender shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on Borrower.
