5. Default.
(a) Any "Default" as defined under the Note or the Guaranty shall be an event of default hereunder. "Senior Debt" means any indebtedness of the Debtor as defined under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), as in effect on the date hereof, that is secured by any assets of the Debtor, including, but not limited to (i) any indebtedness for borrowed money or indebtedness evidenced by notes, bonds or similar instruments, including any term loan, revolving credit financing, working capital financing, floor plan financing or real estate financing, and (ii) purchase money indebtedness and capital leases, in each case, whether now existing or entered into after the date hereof.
 
4
 
(b) When an event of default occurs, the entire Obligation becomes immediately due and payable at Secured Party's option without notice to Debtor, and Secured Party may proceed to enforce payment of same and exercise any and all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as well as all other rights and remedies provided for herein or by law. When Debtor is in default, Debtor, upon demand by Secured Party, shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place reasonably convenient to both parties. Debtor is entitled to any surplus and shall be liable to Secured Party for any deficiency, arising from accounts, contract rights, or chattel paper included in the Collateral through sale thereof to the Secured Party.
6. Remedies of Secured Party. Secured Party may, in its discretion, after an event of default: (i) require Debtor to give possession or control of the Collateral to Secured Party, and Secured Party may take possession of the Collateral without the exercise of judicial process; (ii) indorse as Debtor's agent any instruments or chattel paper in the Collateral; (iii) notify account debtors and obligors on instruments to make payment directly to Secured Party; (iv) contact account debtors directly to verify information furnished by Debtor; (v) take control of proceeds and use cash proceeds to reduce any part of the Obligation; (vi) take any action Debtor is required to take or otherwise necessary to perfect, preserve, and enforce the Security Interest, and maintain and preserve the Collateral, without notice to Debtor, and add costs of same to the Obligation (but Secured Party is under no duty to take any such action); (vii) release Collateral in its possession to Debtor, temporarily or otherwise; (viii) take control of funds generated by the Collateral, such as dividends, interest, proceeds or refunds from insurance, and use same to reduce any part of the Obligation; and (ix) waive any of its rights hereunder without such waiver prohibiting the later exercise of the same or similar rights.
7. Satisfaction of Liens. If Secured Party disposes of the Collateral following default, the proceeds of such disposition shall be applied first to the Note secured by the Guaranty included in the Obligation, and thereafter to all remaining Obligations secured hereby. For purposes of this paragraph, an extended or renewed guaranty will be considered executed on the date of the original Guaranty.
8. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Security Agreement:
(a) The Security Interest shall be subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the liens and security interests securing any Senior Debt, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of any such liens and security interests.
(b) Promptly upon Debtor's request, Secured Party will from time to time execute and deliver a subordination agreement on the terms consistent with Section 7 of the Note and this Section 8 and reasonably requested by any holder of any Senior Debt (or any agent for such holders), including but not limited to subordination provisions providing for subordination of the Note, the Obligation and the Security Interest to any Senior Debt.

9. Release. Upon payment in full of the Obligation, the Security Interest shall automatically terminate and be released without any further action of the Secured Party, and at such time Debtor is authorized to file terminations, releases and any other document necessary to terminate and release any evidence of the Security Interest delivered by Debtor or otherwise recorded or filed to evidence the Security Interest, including releases of UCC financing statements.
10. Miscellaneous. The rights and privileges of Secured Party shall inure to its successors and assigns. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Debtor shall bind Debtor and Debtor's successors and assigns. Unless otherwise defined herein, definitions in the Uniform Commercial Code apply to words and phrases in this Agreement. Debtor waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and extension of time without notice as to any instruments and chattel paper in the Collateral. Notice mailed to Debtor's address set forth above, or to Debtor's most recent changed address on file with Secured Party, at least five (5) days prior to the related action (or, if the Uniform Commercial Code specifies a longer period, such longer period prior to the related action), shall be deemed reasonable. The laws of the State of Maryland shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties to this Security Agreement and the interpretation, construction and enforceability thereof. As used herein, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any gender shall include all genders.
