(a) Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) enter upon any premises in which any Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by Debtor, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any part or all of the Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require Debtor to assemble and make available to Secured Party at the expense of Debtor any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any part or all of the Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof (and if any of the Collateral consists of motor vehicles, Secured Party may use Debtor’s license plates), and (v) sell, resell, lease, assign and deliver, grant options for or otherwise dispose of any part or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, at public or private sale or proceedings or otherwise, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, with or without having the Collateral at the place of sale or other disposition, for cash and/or credit, and upon any terms, at such place(s) and time(s) and to such person(s) as Secured Party deems best, all without demand, notice or advertisement whatsoever except that where an applicable statute requires reasonable notice of sale or other disposition Debtor hereby agrees that the sending of ten days’ notice by overnight mail, postage prepaid, to any address of Debtor set forth in this Security Agreement shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof. If any Collateral is sold by Secured Party upon credit or for future delivery, Secured Party shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to pay for same and in such event Secured Party may resell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral. Secured Party may buy any part or all of the Collateral at any public sale and, if any part or all of the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of the type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, Secured Party may buy such Collateral at private sale and in each case may make payment therefor by any means, whether by credit against the Obligations or otherwise. Secured Party may apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other disposition to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, leasing and the like, to reasonable attorneys’ fees and all legal, travel and other expenses which may be incurred by Secured Party in attempting to collect the Obligations, proceed against the Collateral or enforce this Security Agreement or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding related to the Obligations, the Collateral or this Security Agreement; and then to the Obligations in such order and as to principal or interest as Secured Party may desire; and Debtor shall remain liable and will pay Secured Party on demand any deficiency remaining, together with interest thereon at the highest rate then payable on the Obligations and the balance of any expenses unpaid, with any surplus to be paid to Debtor, subject to any duty of Secured Party imposed by law to the holder of any subordinate security interest in the Collateral known to Secured Party.

 

 

6. Secured party hereby consents Debtor appointing a third-person of its choice (“Agent”) as attorney-in-fact of Debtor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to: endorse the name of Debtor on any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders, instruments or other evidences of Collateral that may come into Secured Party’s possession; sign the name of Debtor on any invoices, documents, assignments; execute proofs of claim and loss; execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer; adjust and compromise any claims under insurance policies or otherwise; execute releases; and do all other acts and things necessary or advisable in the sole discretion of Secured Party to carry out and enforce this Security Agreement or the Obligations. Neither Secured Party nor any designee or agent thereof shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission done in good faith, for any error of judgment or for any mistake of fact or law. This power of attorney being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any Obligations shall remain unpaid.

 

7. With respect to the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights under this Security Agreement, Debtor hereby releases Secured Party and Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to this Security Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral and its use and/or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by Secured Party or Agent in good faith with respect thereto, and Debtor hereby agrees to hold Secured Party and Agent harmless from and with respect to any and all such claims, causes of action and demands.

 

8. Secured Party’s prior recourse to any Collateral shall not constitute a condition of any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Obligations nor shall any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Obligations constitute a condition of any recourse by Secured Party to the Collateral. Any suit or proceeding by Secured Party to recover any of the Obligations shall not be deemed a waiver of, or bar against, subsequent proceedings by Secured Party with respect to any other Obligations and/or with respect to the Collateral. No act, omission or delay by Secured Party shall constitute a waiver of their rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by Secured Party of any covenant, warranty, representation, Default or right or remedy which they may have shall operate as a waiver of any other covenant, warranty, representation, Default, right or remedy or of the same covenant, warranty, representation, Default, right or remedy on a future occasion. Debtor hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any Obligations or Collateral, and all other notices and demands whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein).

 

 

9. Debtor hereby agrees to pay, on demand, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of the Debentures, this Security Agreement, and the Obligations and in connection with any amendment, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to Secured Party.

 

10. In the event of any litigation with respect to any matter connected with this Security Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or the Debentures, Debtor hereby waives the right to a trial by jury and all rights of setoff. Debtor hereby waives personal service of any process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to Debtor at any address of Debtor set forth in this Security Agreement. Debtor so served shall appear or answer to such process within thirty days after the mailing thereof. Should Debtor so served fail to appear or answer within said thirty-day period, Debtor shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Secured Party against Debtor for the amount or such other relief as may be demanded in any process so served. In the alternative, Secured Party may in their discretion effect service upon Debtor in any other form or manner permitted by law.

 

11. Upon the payment in full or conversion of the Debentures and satisfaction of all Obligations in accordance with the Debentures or the occurrence of the event described in the third paragraph of Section 1 hereof, the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral under this Agreement shall revert to Debtor. Upon any such termination, the Secured Party shall execute and deliver UCC–3 financing statement releases or other documents of release reasonably requested by Debtor.
