			Pledgors to grant to Lender the right to sell any portion or all of the Collateral and to the proceeds therefrom;

	(e)		Make any compromise or settlement that Lender deems advisable with respect to any of the Collateral; and

	(f)		Renew or extend any account or other indebtedness held as Collateral.

8.02. Notice, Grace Period and Cure. Upon the occurrence of a Default described in Section 8.01(a) of this Agreement, Lender shall give Borrower written notice of such Default and shall not accelerate the Note or exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents if (i) within ten (10) days of such notice Borrower commences to remedy and diligently continue to pursue a remedy of such Default, and (ii) such Default is remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender within ten (10) days of such notice. Upon the occurrence of a Default described in Sections 8.01(b), 8.01(c), 8.01(d), 8.01(f), 8.01(g), 8.01(h), 8.01(i), 8.01(j), or 8.01(k) of this Agreement (other than a Default described in Sections 8.01(a) or 8.01(e) of this Agreement), Lender shall give Borrower written notice of such Default and shall not accelerate the Note or exercise any rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents if (i) within ten (10) days of such notice Borrower commences to remedy and diligently continue to pursue a remedy of such Default, and (ii) such Default is remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender within forty-five (45) days of such notice or Borrower is diligently taking such steps as Lender deems to be reasonable under the circumstances to cure such Default.

8.03. Remedies Upon Event of Default. If an Event of Default occurs and such Default is not cured pursuant to Section 8.02 of this Agreement, and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, then Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, and any other rights and remedies provided in any of the Loan Documents as Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate:

	(a)		terminate Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder,

	(b)		declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, on the Note, and any other liabilities hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, except as provided in this Agreement and the Loan Documents,

	(c)		reduce any claim to judgment, and/or

	(d)		without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable Law or agreement.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 8.03, if any Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(e) of this Agreement shall occur, the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, the Note and other liabilities hereunder shall thereupon become due and payable automatically and concurrently therewith, and Lender’s obligations to lend shall immediately terminate hereunder, without any further action by Lender and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration or intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives.

Further, after a judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction that an Event of Default has occurred under the Obligations and that the Obligations are due and payable in full, Lender shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of Borrower’s premises, properties, assets, books and records, without consideration of the value of the

collateral pledged as security for the Note or the solvency of any person liable for the payment of the amounts then owing, and all amounts collected by the receiver shall, after expenses of the receivership, be applied to the payment of the Note, and interest thereon.

8.04. Right of Offset.

ARTICLE NINE
MISCELLANEOUS

9.01. Strict Compliance. If any action or failure to act by Borrower violates any covenant or obligation of Borrower contained herein, then such violation shall not be excused by the fact that such action or failure to act would otherwise be permitted by any covenant (or exception to any covenant) other than the covenant violated.

9.02. Modifications. No provision of this Agreement or the other instruments relating to the Loan may be modified, amended, waived, or terminated except by instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

9.03. Form and Substance. All documents, certificates, insurance policies, and other items required under this Agreement to be executed or delivered to Lender shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

9.04. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Waiver of any right, power, or privilege hereunder or under any instrument or document now or hereafter securing the Indebtedness evidenced hereby or under any guaranty at any time given with respect thereto is a waiver only as to the specified item. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. Provided, however, that if a Default is cured within the applicable cure period or waived by Lender in writing, the Lender is precluded from subsequently asserting such event as an Event of Default and, if Lender is notified by Borrower of an Event of Default and Lender fails to notify Borrower within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice that Borrower is obligated to cure such default, then in that instance the default is deemed waived by Lender.

9.16. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, the Note, and any other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith.
