(c)           foreclose upon or otherwise enforce its security interest in and lien on the Collateral to secure all payments and performance of Obligations of the Debtor in any manner permitted by law or provided for hereunder;

(d)           notify all obligors in respect of the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Secured Party and that all payments thereon are to be made directly to Secured Party or such other party as may be designated by the Secured Party; settle, compromise, or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral, any such obligor or any portion of the Collateral, on terms acceptable to the Secured Party; enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all of the Collateral; and where any such Collateral is in default, foreclose on and enforce security interests in, such Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process and sell property acquired as a result of any such foreclosure sale;

(e)           require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and/or books and records relating thereto and make such available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party;

(f)           enter onto property where any Collateral or books and records relating thereto are located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;

(g)           prior to the disposition of the Collateral, prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent Secured Party deems appropriate;

(h)           exercise all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Code or other applicable law, including but not limited to, selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at one or more public or private sales, whether or not such Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on such terms and in such manner as Secured Party may determine;

(i)           perform or attempt to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement of the Debtor contained in any of the Loan Documents on behalf of the Debtor. In such event, Debtor shall, at the request of Secured Party, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by Secured Party in such performance or attempted performance to Secured Party, together with interest thereon at the rate of interest in effect upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as specified in the Note from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Secured Party shall not have any liability (other than for bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct) or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of any of Debtor under this Collateral Assignment or any other Loan Document;

(j)           apply for the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, and Debtor hereby consents to such right and such appointment and hereby, to the extent permitted by law, waive any objection Debtor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Secured Party, in connection therewith;

(k)           at its option, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations whenever the circumstances are such that Secured Party is entitled to do so under the Code or otherwise, to the

 
12

 

full extent permitted by the Code, Secured Party shall be permitted to elect whether such retention shall be in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations;

(l)           exercise all rights and remedies available to Secured Party in law or in equity, under the Loan Documents, or otherwise (all of which rights and remedies are cumulative);

(m)           as regards to that portion of the Collateral consisting of cash or cash equivalent items (i.e., check or other items convertible at face), immediately apply them against the Obligations, and for this purpose, Debtor agrees that such items are considered identical in character to cash proceeds; or

(n)           immediately and without further action by Secured Party set-off against the Obligations all money owed by Secured Party in any capacity to Debtor, including any such sums owed under property that is included in the Collateral, such as certificates of deposit, or demand, savings or passbook accounts, whether or not due, and Secured Party will be deemed to have exercised such right of set off and to have made a charge against any such money at the time of any acceleration upon default even though such charge is made or entered on Secured Party’s book subsequent thereto.

6.03           Sale of Collateral.  In the event Secured Party shall elect to sell the Collateral, Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as and shall be permitted to specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like.  Further, if Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Secured Party and applied to the Indebtedness.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.  Debtor agrees that in the event Debtor is entitled to receive any notice under the Code, as it exists in the state governing any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, reasonable notice shall be deemed given when such notice is deposited in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, at Debtor’s address set forth on the first page hereof, ten (10) days prior to the date of any public sale, or after which a private sale, of any of such Collateral is to be held.  Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Debtor further acknowledges and agrees that the redemption by Secured Party of any certificate of deposit pledged as Collateral shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable disposition under Section 9.610 of the Code.

6.04             No Liability for Sale of Collateral.  Secured Party shall incur no liability as a result of the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public or private sale or disposition. Debtor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) any claims it may have against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the outstanding Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree and none of the actions described herein shall render Secured Party 's disposition of the Collateral in such a manner as commercially unreasonable.

6.05           Other Recourse.  Debtor specifically waives (to the extent permitted by law) any equity or right of redemption, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which Debtor has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted, and any right to require Secured Party to (1) proceed against any Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Collateral in any particular order, or (3) pursue any other remedy in its power. The

 
13

 

Secured Party shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of the Debtor against holders of mortgages prior in lien to the lien of any Collateral Loan Document included in the Collateral or to preserve rights against prior parties.

6.06           Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Secured Party the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process.  Debtor recognizes and concedes that non-judicial remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm's length.

6.07           Remedies Not Exclusive. The rights and remedies of Secured Party under this Collateral Assignment, Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and the exercise, or partial exercise, of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.

6.08           Application of Proceeds.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Secured Party may at its discretion apply or use any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral as follows in such order and manner as Secured Party may elect:

(i)           to the repayment or reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Secured Party in connection with (A) the administration of the Loan Documents, (B) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, the Collateral, and (C) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Secured Party under this Collateral Assignment or any other Loan Document;

(ii)           to the payment or other satisfaction of any liens and other encumbrances upon the Collateral;

(iii)           to the satisfaction of the Obligations;

(iv)           by holding such cash and proceeds as Collateral;

(v)           to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law (including without limitation, Section 9.615(a)(3) of the Code or any other applicable statutory provision); and

(vi)           by delivery to Debtor or any other party lawfully entitled to receive such cash or proceeds whether by direction of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.

6.09           Deficiency.  In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by Secured Party are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Secured Party is legally entitled, Debtor and any other party who guaranteed or is otherwise obligated to pay all or any portion of the Obligations shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents, to the full extent permitted by the Code.

ARTICLE VII
RIGHTS OF COLLECTION

Section                      7.01           Dealing with the Collateral.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, at its option

 
14

 

(whether or not the Obligations are due), demand, sue for, collect or many any compromise or settlement Secured Party deems desirable with reference to the Collateral. Secured Party is not obligated to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, which is the responsibility of Debtor. Debtor shall not accelerate the maturity of the Collateral Note or take any Collection Action, including, but not limited to, causing the trustee under the Collateral Deed of Trust to post the Collateral Property for foreclosure, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent may be withheld in Secured Party’s sole discretion. If Secured Party consents to the posting of the Collateral Property for foreclosure, then such sale must be for cash, and Debtor may not bid a credit against the Collateral Note without the prior or contemporaneous written consent of Secured Party, which consent may, but need not, set a maximum amount that may be so credited. Following an Event of Default, and until the full and complete payment of all the Obligations, Secured Party is hereby fully authorized and empowered (without the necessity of any further consent or authorization from Debtor) and the right is expressly granted to the Secured Party, and the Debtor hereby constitutes, appoints and makes the Secured Party as the Debtor’s true and law attorney-in-fact and agent for the Debtor (which appointment is coupled with an interest) and in the Debtor’s name, place and stead with full power of substitution, in the Secured Party’s name or the Debtor’s name or otherwise, for the Secured Party’s sole use and benefit, but at the Debtor’s cost and expense, to exercise, without notice, all or any of the following powers at any time:

(a)           Receive, collect and demand payment directly from Collateral Note Maker and/or any other Collateral Loan Party of all sums and amounts payable on or with respect to the Collateral Note or the other Collateral Loan Documents, with such sums and amounts to be held by Secured Party without liability for interest thereon and applied toward payment of the Obligations as and when the same becomes payable;

(b)           Exercise and enforce all of the rights, powers and remedies of the holder of the Collateral Note, including, but not limited to, the right to demand payment of the Collateral Note in the event of any default thereunder and the rights to appoint a substitute trustee under the Collateral Deed of Trust and to request the substitute trustee to conduct a non-judicial foreclosure sale of the Collateral Property under the Collateral Deed of Trust or to make and accept with and from Collateral Note Maker and/or any other Collateral Loan Party a deed or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of the Collateral Property under and in respect to the Collateral Deed of Trust and/or any other Collateral Loan Documents;

(c)           Consent or otherwise agree with the Collateral Note Maker and/or any other Collateral Loan Party to any and all renewals, rearrangements, extensions or other modifications to the terms and provisions of the Collateral Note or the other Collateral Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, extensions of the time for payment of the Collateral Note, adjustment of the interest rate to be paid thereon, or any substation, subordination, impairment, waiver, exchange or release of the security for the Collateral Note, including the release of the Collateral Property or any party primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the Collateral Note; and

(d)           Release the lien or liens securing the Collateral Note upon the full and final payment thereof.

Section 7.02                      Subordination.  Debtor agrees that its interest in the proceeds from any foreclosure sale, deed-in-lieu transaction or similar transaction, or settlement with the Collateral Note Maker and/or any other Collateral Loan Party will be subordinate and inferior to Secured Party's right to prior and complete payment of the Obligations, and Debtor’s interest in the Collateral Property acquired in any foreclosure sale or deed-in-lieu transaction will be encumbered by the lien and security interest

 
15

 

granted Secured Party by this Collateral Assignment.  Nothing contained in this Section 7.02 authorizes Debtor to take any Collection Action without Secured Party’s prior written consent.

Section 7.03                      Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  The Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party as the Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Debtor and in the name of the Debtor or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to preserve or protect its interest in the Collateral and otherwise to accomplish the purposes of this Collateral Assignment, including, without limitation, to: (i) settle, extend, renew, compromise, compound, exchange, or otherwise Adjust claims or security with respect to the Collateral or in connection with any legal proceedings brought with regard thereof; (ii) take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment; and (iii) endorse the name of the Debtor upon any items of payment as to the Collateral. This appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the disability of the Debtor. The appointment of the Secured Party as attorney-in-fact under this Section 7.03, and the Secured Party’s right to take any actions under this Section 7.03, shall be effective at any time whether or not a default has occurred or exists under the Loan Documents. The Debtor will indemnify and save harmless the Secured Party from and against any liability or damage that the Secured Party or the Debtor may incur in good faith in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties set forth herein (other than losses, claims, costs or expenses that result from or arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party or its officers, directors, employees, assigns or representatives).

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.05                      Waiver.  No delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any rights under this Collateral Assignment operates as a waiver of any such right or any other right. A waiver on any one or more occasions will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. Secured Party is under no obligation to make or enforce the collection of the Collateral Note and Secured Party’s failure to make or enforce the collection thereof will not in any way prejudice the right of Secured Party to thereafter make or enforce collection thereof or in any way affect the Obligations. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that Secured Party has no duty of good faith to Debtor and that no fiduciary, trust of other special relationship exists between Debtor and Secured Party.

 
17
