(iv)           collect any Accounts from any Account Debtor;

 

(v)           require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it immediately available to Lender.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing with respect to that portion of the Collateral that is comprised of Patient Lists, Borrower shall make immediately available all Patient Lists to Lender;

 

(vi)           sell all or any part of the Collateral at either a public or private sale or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Lender determines is commercially reasonable;

 

(vii)           collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, set off, and realize upon any and all Collateral;

 

(viii)           without notice to Borrower (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting an acceptance of any Collateral in satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the UCC or any successor statute or law of similar effect), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all balances and deposits of Borrower held by Lender (including any amounts received in the Lockboxes), or indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Lender;

(xi)           exercise any or all rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents, at law and/or in equity including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is applicable).  Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner or at any other reasonable time shall also constitute reasonable notification.

 

10.3    Application of Proceeds.  All proceeds from each sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral following an Event of Default shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations (with Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency) in any order which Lender may elect with the balance (if any) paid to Borrower or to whomsoever is entitled thereto.

 

10.4    Power of Attorney.  Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes, and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender from time to time) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent in fact to act in name of Borrower to effectuate any term in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower’s power of attorney to Lender authorizes Lender to:

 

 

(a)         demand payment of the Accounts, enforce payment thereof by legal proceedings or otherwise, settle, adjust, compromise, extend, or renew any or all of the Accounts or any legal proceedings brought to collect the Accounts, discharge and release the Accounts or any of them, and exercise all of Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of Accounts;

(b)         Rights Cumulative.  The rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  In exercising such rights and remedies, Lender may be selective and no failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right

 

(c)         Extensions of Time.  Lender may extend or postpone the due dates of Borrower’s Obligations, amend any agreement evidencing, guaranteeing, or securing any of Borrower’s Obligations, take or not take any action respecting any of the Collateral, or extend or postpone the due dates of Borrower’s Obligations without affecting Borrower’s liability under this Agreement.

 

(d)         Waiver of Marshaling.  Borrower hereby waives any right to require any marshaling of assets and any similar right.
