Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by a Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations after termination of the Secured Note shall be paid over to Grantors or whomsoever shall be contractually and/or lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

(d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that if a Secured Party complies with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral (including, but not limited to, complying with private placement offering restrictions and requiring investment representatives from purchasers of the Pledged Interests or other securities), such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.
(e) Secured Parties shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of Secured Party’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that the Grantors lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.
