ARTICLE V.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
5.1
Events of Defaults. Notwithstanding any cure periods described below, Pledgor will immediately notify Pledgeholder and the Secured Party in writing when Pledgor obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any default specified in this Agreement, the Note or the Loan Agreement. A default shall occur hereunder if Pledgor (a) fails to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, or the Loan Agreement, or (b) fails to make any payment when due, and has not cured said default within fourteen (14) days receipt of written notice thereof from Secured Party.
5.2
Acceleration of Obligations.

Notwithstanding the above, to the extent any of the Obligations referred to herein are payable upon demand, nothing herein will restrict nor negate the demand nature of such Obligations.
5.3
Remedies. After maturity of any of the Obligations, or If an Event of Default shall occur, Pledgor shall give immediate written notice thereof to Pledgeholder and the Secured Party. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at, any time thereafter, the Secured Party through the Pledgeholder shall have the right, without notice to or demand upon Pledgor, to exercise any one or more of the following remedies:

(c)
exercise all of Pledgor's rights as an entitlement holder and/or owner of the Securities;

notify any issuer, transfer agent or securities intermediary, or holder of any Collateral or Certificates of this pledge of the Collateral, and direct such issuer, transfer agent or securities intermediary to comply with all instructions and entitlement orders originated by the Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party without further consent of Pledgor, and/or deliver directly in trust to the Secured Party any Collateral, Certificates and subsequent shares of stock, dividend payments or other distributions pertaining to the Collateral or arising from Pledgor's ownership of the Collateral, and in each case Pledgor hereby unconditionally directs such parties to comply with the Pledgeholder’s requests in all respects; and
(e)
sell or otherwise dispose of the Securities as provided for herein and at law, and other Collateral, at a public or private sale, for cash, or other property, or on credit, with the authority to adjourn or postpone any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral announcement at the time scheduled for sale. The Secured Party may directly or through any affiliate purchase the Securities, and other Collateral, at any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition. Pledgor and the Pledgeholder hereby agree that it shall conclusively be deemed commercially reasonable for the Secured Party, in connection with any sale or disposition of the Securities, to impose restrictions and conditions as to the investment intent of a purchaser or bidder, the ability of a purchaser or bidder to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities, the knowledge and experience in business and financial matters of a purchaser or bidder, the access of a purchaser or bidder to information concerning the issuer of the Securities, as well as legend conditions and stop transfer instructions restricting subsequent transfer of the Securities, and any other restrictions or conditions which the Pledeholder on behalf of the Secured Party believes to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with any state or federal securities or other laws. Pledgor acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions may result in fewer proceeds being received upon such sale then would otherwise be the case. Pledgor hereby agrees to provide to Pledgeholder any and all information required by Pledgeholder in connection with any sales of Securities by the Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party hereunder. If, after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any other similar rule) is available for use by Pledgeholder and/or the Secured Party in connection with the sales of any Securities hereunder, Pledgor agrees not to utilize Rule 144 in the sale of any securities held by Pledgor of the same class as the Securities, without the prior written consent of the Pledgeholder. Any and all attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party in connection with the foregoing shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations and shall be due from Pledgor to the Secured Party upon demand.

5.4
Cumulative Remedies; Notice; Waiver. In addition to the remedies set forth herein, the Secured Party will have all other rights and remedies for default provided by the uniform commercial code, as well as any other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to dispose of the collateral without judicial process. The rights and remedies specified herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Party would otherwise have. With respect to such rights and remedies:
(a)
Notice of Disposition. Written notice, when required by law, sent to any address of Pledgor in this Agreement or otherwise provided to Pledgeholder and the Secured Party, at least five (5) calendar days (counting the day of sending) before the date of a proposed disposition of the Collateral will be deemed reasonable notice but less notice may be reasonable under the circumstances;
(b)
Possession of Collateral/Commercial Reasonableness. The Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party shall not, at any time, be obligated to either take or retain possession or control of the Collateral. With respect to Collateral in the possession or control of the Pledgeholder, Pledgor, the Pledgeholder and the Secured Party agree that as a standard for determining commercial reasonableness, (and in addition to the provisions of Section 4.2 above) the Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party need not liquidate, collect, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral if Pledgeholder believes, in good faith, that disposition of the Collateral would not be commercially reasonable, would subject Pledgerholder or the Secured Party to third-party claims or liability, would cause the Pledgeholder or the Secured Party to violate federal or state securities laws, that other potential purchasers could be attracted or that a better price could be obtained if Pledgeholder and/or the Secured Party held the Collateral for up to one (1) year. The Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party may sell Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. Furthermore, Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party may sell the Collateral on credit (and reduce the Obligations only when payment is received from the buyer), at wholesale and/or with or without an agent or broker; The Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party need not register any securities collateral under state or federal law; and Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party need not complete, process, or otherwise prepare the Collateral prior to disposition. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Pledgor shall be credited with the cash proceeds of the sale. The Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c)
Waiver by Pledgor. Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party has no obligation and Pledgor waives any obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting the obligations from any third parties and Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any third party to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting the Secured Party' rights against Pledgor. Pledgor further waives any obligation on the part of Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party to marshal any assets in favor of Pledgor or in payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement or any other agreement between Pledgor, the Pledgeholder or the Secured Party, Pledgor does not waive any statutory rights except to the extent that the waiver thereof is permitted by law.
(d)
Waiver by The Secured Party. Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party, with the prior written consent of all the Secured Party, may permit Pledgor to attempt to remedy any default without waiving its rights and remedies hereunder, and Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party, with the prior written consent of all the Secured Party, may waive any default without waiving any other subsequent or prior default by Pledgor. Furthermore, delay on the part of the Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or at law will not operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver or suspension will be deemed to have occurred unless the Pledgeholder on behalf of the Secured Party, with the prior written consent of all the Secured Party, has expressly agreed in writing to such waiver or suspension.
