6.7 Insurance.
(a) Each Borrower, at its expense, shall keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all other hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as ordinarily insured against by other owners in similar businesses conducted in the locations where such Borrower's business is conducted on the date hereof.

13
Trademarks and Copyrights where any such infringement of any Trademark or Copyright, whether individually or in the aggregate, could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and promptly advise Lender in writing of infringements detected and (iii) not allow any Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no breach of this Section 6.9(c)(iii) shall be deemed to have occurred if Borrowers have provided at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to Agent of the need to take action so as to avoid any such abandonment, forfeiture or dedication to the public and Lender fails to respond to such request for consent on a timely basis, it being understood that the timeliness of Lender's response will depend on Agent having sufficiently timely notice from Borrower.

(f) Dispose of the Collateral by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including each Borrower's premises) as Lender determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Lender deems appropriate;
(g) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(h) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender (and any of Lender's designated officers, or employees) as each such Borrower's true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Lender's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse such Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Lender's possession; (c) sign such Borrower's name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to each such Borrower's policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Lender determines to be reasonable; (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of each such Borrower where permitted by law; and (h) transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party to the extent permitted under the California Uniform Commercial Code; provided Lender may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of such Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, including without limitation to modify, in its sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into
18
between such Borrower and Lender without first obtaining such Borrower's approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibits A, B, and C, thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by such Borrower after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which such Borrower no longer has or claims to have any right, title or interest. The appointment of Lender as each Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and every one of Lender's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender's obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is terminated.
9.3 Accounts Collection. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, through Agent, notify any Person owing funds to any Borrower of Lender's security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Each Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to such Borrower for Lender, receive in trust all payments as Lender's trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Lender in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Lender Expenses. If any Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third Persons, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to such Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.8 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Lender shall constitute Lender Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5 Liability of Agent and Lender for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with reasonable practices, Lender shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever.

9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Lender's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on Borrowers' part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Lender and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand; Protest. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Lender on which such Borrower may in any way be liable.
