7. Default and Remedies.

 

7.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any Event of Default under and as defined in the Note shall constitute an Event of Default of this Security Agreement (herein “Event of Default”).

7.2.2 The right to sell, transfer, assign or deliver as much of the Collateral as is reasonably necessary to repay the obligations of Pledgor under the Note, including those obligations which are accelerated by reason of the Event of Default (together with expenses attendant upon such sale and repayment), at public or private sale, as the Secured Party may elect, either for cash or on credit, without assumption of any credit risk (so long as the Secured Party reasonably believes at the time of such sale on credit that the purchaser is able to satisfy the obligations for which credit is granted) thereof and without demand or advertisement (unless otherwise required by law). The Secured Party may have resort to the Collateral or any portion thereof with no requirement on the part of the Secured Party to proceed first against any other person or property.

 

8. Cumulative Rights. The rights, powers and remedies of the Secured Party under this Security Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Secured Party under any statute or rule of law or any other agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently.

 

9. Waiver. Any forbearance, failure or delay by the Secured Parties in exercising any right, power or remedy shall not preclude the further exercise thereof, and every right, power or remedy of the Secured Party shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in a writing executed by the Secured Party. Pledgor waives any right to require Secured Party to proceed against any person or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy in Secured Party’s power prior to pursuing Pledgor in respect of the Obligations.

 

10. Binding Upon Successors. All rights of the Secured Party under this Security Agreement shall inure to the benefit of their successors and assigns, and all obligations of Pledgor shall bind the representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Pledgor.

11. Severability; Amendment. If any of the provisions of this Security Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if not containing those provisions and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly. This Security Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended except by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

 

12. Return; Acquittance. The Secured Party may at any time deliver any Collateral to Pledgor and the receipt thereof by Pledgor shall be a complete and full acquittance in respect of the Collateral so delivered, and the Secured Party shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.

 

13. References. The singular includes the plural. The captions or titles of the sections of this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof.

 

14. Notices.

16. Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledge and agree that other parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Security Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Security Agreement could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which the parties may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Security Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
