The Mortgagor hereby expressly agrees and consents that, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable laws, after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Mortgagee may dispose of the Mortgaged Property by private sale at the then current market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor hereby undertakes that it shall (i) cooperate with the Mortgagee and the party or parties which purchase the Mortgaged Property through public auction or by private sale (“the Purchaser”) by executing all documents and filing all applications necessary for the registration of such Purchaser as owner of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) fulfill any and all obligations arising from or in connection with the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to the Purchaser. The proceeds from any sale of the Mortgaged Property shall, after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in making such sale, be applied to the repayment of the Indebtedness and all other obligations, costs and expenses owing to the Mortgagee hereunder, under the Loan Documents or otherwise, whether or not then due, and/or may be held in whole or in part by the Mortgagee pending the expiry of any contingent liability undertaken by the Mortgagee for the Mortgagor's or the Debtor's account (“Contingent Obligations”). In the event that such sales proceeds are insufficient to cover all sums due or to become due to the Mortgagee, plus the Mortgagee's potential liability under the Contingent Obligations, the Mortgagor or the Debtor shall immediately pay to the Mortgagee the balance thereof.
九、如擔保債務已屆清償期而未為清償時，抵押物之所有權應依民法第八百七十三條之ㄧ規定移屬於抵押權人，抵押權人毋須申請法院拍賣或以拍賣或變賣之方式處分抵押物之全部或一部，抵押人並同意配合抵押權人辦理前述所有權移屬之相關登記事宜，並負擔全部相關費用。
9. If the Indebtedness is due and unpaid, the ownership of the Mortgaged Property shall be transferred to and belonged to the Mortgagee in accordance with Article 873-1 of the Republic of China Civil Code. In this circumstance, the Mortgagee needs not to petition to the court for auction or dispose of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property either at public auction or by private sale. The Mortgagor agrees to cooperate with the Mortgagee to complete all matters relating to the registration of the above arrangement at the Mortgagor's own expenses.

10. If the Mortgagee requests the Mortgagor to transfer the ownership of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor agrees that the valuation of the Mortgaged Property shall be done by the appraiser appointed by the Mortgagee and the appraisal report prepared by such appraiser is conclusive and binding upon the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor also agrees to cooperate with the Mortgagee to complete all matters relating to the registration of the transfer of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property to the Mortgagee at the Mortgagor's own expenses without any delay of such transfer. The Mortgagor shall be reliable for the damages suffered by the Mortgagee resulting from any delay or failure of the transfer of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor.
