4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any Event of Default as defined in the Note shall be an event of default hereunder (“Event of Default”).
5. REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter:
(a) Secured Party is authorized, in any legal manner and without breach of the peace, to take possession of the Collateral and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and to exercise without interference from Company any and all rights which Company has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Collateral, including the right to sell the same for the account of Company and to deduct from such sale proceeds, all costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Secured Party in collecting such sale proceeds and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Collateral and to apply the remainder of such sales proceeds to the obligations owed to the Secured Party in such manner as Secured Party may elect. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Secured Party may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Company, including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer. In connection with any action taken by Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement, Secured Party shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Company resulting from any failure to sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, or from other act or omission of Secured Party with respect to the Collateral unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Secured Party, nor shall Secured Party be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or liability under any sale or lease agreement covering the Collateral or any part thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder.

(b) Secured Party may, without notice except as hereinafter provided, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale (with or without appraisal or having the Collateral at the place of sale) for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as it may deem best, and any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any and all of the Collateral so sold and thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. Upon any such sale Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Company has or may take under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. To the extent notice is required by applicable law, Secured Party shall give Company and permitted lien holders written notice at the address set forth herein (which shall satisfy any requirement of notice or reasonable notice in any applicable statute) of the intention to make any such public or private sale. Such notice (if any is required by applicable law) shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Company and permitted lien holders at least ten (10) calendar days before the date fixed for a public sale, or at least ten (10) calendar days before the date after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the Collateral is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Such notice (if any is required by applicable law), in case of public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale or, in case of private sale or other disposition other than a public sale, the time after which the private sale or other such disposition is to be made. Any public sale shall be held at such time or times, within the ordinary business hours and at such place or places, as Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale. At any sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as Secured Party may determine. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at any time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Secured Party shall incur no liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the collateral so sold, and in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Each and every method of disposition described in this Agreement shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company, to the extent applicable, shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(d) Secured Party may resort to any security given by this Agreement or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Note, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Secured Party in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any such action shall not in any way be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits or security interests evidenced by this Agreement.
6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.
(a) Release of Security Interest. Upon full payment of the Note complete performance of all of the obligations hereunder and the Note, all rights under this Agreement shall terminate and the Collateral shall become wholly clear of the security interest evidenced hereby, and upon written request by Company, such security interest shall be released by Secured Party in due form and at Company’s cost.
(b) Waiver of Event of Default. Secured Party may waive any Event of Default without waiving any other prior or subsequent default. Secured Party may remedy any Event of Default without waiving the default remedied. The failure to exercise any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default shall not be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date.

Secured Party may at any time and from time to time in writing (a) waive compliance by Company with any covenant herein made by Company to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (b) consent to Company’s doing any act which hereunder Company is prohibited from doing, or consent to Company’s failing to do any act which hereunder Company is required to do, to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (c) release any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, from the security interest of this Agreement; or (d) release any party liable, either directly or indirectly, for the payments due under the Note or for any covenant herein or in any other instrument now or hereafter securing the payment due under the Note, without impairing or releasing the liability of any other party.
