Secured Party shall give Debtor at least ten (10) days’ written notice (which Debtor agrees is reasonable notice) of Secured Party’s intention to make any sale of Collateral owned by Debtor. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may fix and state in the notice of such sale, and Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if Secured Party shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given, and Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice to Debtor or anyone else, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.

 

(b) In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such of the Collateral may be sold again upon notice to Debtor as set forth in this Section.

 

(c) At any public sale, Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of Debtor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to Secured Party from Debtor as a credit against the purchase price, and Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to Debtor therefor.

 

(d) For purposes of any sale of Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof. Secured Party shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement, and Debtor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after Secured Party shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.

 

(e) Upon any sale of Collateral by Secured Party (including a sale pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of Secured Party or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral being sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Secured Party or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

 

 

 

7.01 Power of Attorney; Collections by Secured Party.
