The Grantor agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof the Bank has the right to notify (on invoices or otherwise) account debtors and other obligors or payers on any Collateral of its assignment to the Bank, and that all payments thereon should be made directly to the Bank, and that the Bank has full power and authority to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral in its own name or that of the Grantor; (b) keep the Collateral in good order and repair at all times (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and immediately notify the Bank of any event causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral, and the amount of such loss or depreciation; (c) only use or permit the Collateral to be used in all material respects in accordance with applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws and regulations; and (d) have and maintain insurance at all times with respect to all Collateral against risks of fire (including so-called extended coverage), theft, sprinkler leakage, and other risks (including risk of flood if any Collateral is maintained at a location in a flood hazard zone) as the Bank may reasonably require, in such form, in such amount, for such period and written by such companies as may be satisfactory to the Bank in its reasonable discretion.

The Grantor waives all relief from all appraisement or exemption laws now in force or hereafter enacted. 11. POWER OF ATTORNEY. The Grantor does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of the Bank as the Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to (a) endorse the name of the Grantor or any of the Grantor's officers or agents upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment of Grantor or Collateral that may come into the Bank's possession in full or part payment of any Obligations; (b) sue for, compromise, settle and release all claims and disputes with respect to, the Collateral; and (c) sign, for the Grantor, such documentation required by the UCC granting to the Grantor's said attorney full power to do any and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully and effectually as the Grantor might or could do. The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest, and is irrevocable. 12. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. At its option, the Bank, if not paid for by the Grantor, may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or such other encumbrances as may attach to the Collateral (that are not Permitted Liens), may pay for required insurance on the Collateral and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral, as determined by the Bank to be necessary.
