Lender shall have no obligation or liability under any of the Company’s contracts and documents by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the granting to Lender of a security interest therein or the receipt by Lender of any payment relating to any of its contracts and documents pursuant hereto, nor shall Lender be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Company under or pursuant to any of its contracts and documents, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any of its contracts and documents, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
4. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the chief executive office and chief place of business of the Company is 0000 Xxxx 000 Xxxxx, Xxxx, XX 00000, and the Company will not change such chief executive office and chief place of business or remove such records unless the Company shall have given the Lender at least 10 days’ prior written notice thereof.
5. Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with the Lender that from and after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Obligations are fully satisfied:
(a) Further Documentation. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Lender, and at the sole expense of the Company, the Company will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further documents and take such further action as Lender may reasonably request in carrying out the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement and the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests granted hereby.
(b) Continuous Perfection. The Company will not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner unless the Company shall have given the Lender at least 10 days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have taken all action (or made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change if it is impossible to take such action in advance) necessary or reasonably requested by the Lender to amend any financing statement or continuation statement filed with respect to the Collateral so that it is not misleading.
(c) Insurance. The Company will insure the Collateral against such risks and hazards as other companies similarly situated insure against, in amounts and under policies which it currently holds and under such additional or substituted amounts or policies as it may from time to time determine, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lender (providing that no cancellation of such insurance shall be effective without 30 days written notice to the Lender and containing loss payable clauses to the Lender as its interest may appear) and all premiums thereon shall be paid by the Company.
6. Remedies, Rights Upon Default. (a) In addition to any other rights given to the Lender hereunder, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Lender shall have declared the amounts owing under the Note(s) to be due and payable (or such amounts shall have automatically, become due and payable), all payments received by the Company under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be held by the Company in trust for the Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of the Company and shall, if requested by the Lender forthwith upon receipt by the Company be turned over to the Lender, in the same form as received by the Company (duly endorsed by the Company to the Lender, if required).
(b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Lender may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that in any such event, the Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or
private sale) to or upon the Company or any other person may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange broker’s board or at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption the Company hereby releases. The Company further agrees, at the Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral, make it available to the Lender at places which the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at the Company’s premises or elsewhere. The Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safe keeping or otherwise of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of the Lender hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, the Company remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after the application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. The Company agrees that the Lender need not give more than 10 days notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Company shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled.
(c) The Company hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
7. Application of Proceeds. The Proceeds of all sales and collections in respect of any Collateral shall be applied as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sales and collections, the expenses of Lender and the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel;
(b) Second, any surplus then remaining to the payment of the Obligations in such order and manner as the Lender may in its sole discretion determine; and
(c) Third, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company.
8. Limitation on Lender’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Lender shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
9. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by facsimile (receipt confirmed electronically) or shall be sent by a reputable express delivery service or by certified mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

10. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Lender, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the 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 future exercise thereof or the exercise or any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Company and the Lender.
12. Successors and Assigns. This Security Agreement and all obligations of the Company hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and permitted assigns; provided that the Company may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. This Security Agreement may be assigned by the Lender without the consent of the Company.
13. Governing Law. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Washington without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Washington or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Washington.
14. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts each of which will be an original and all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.
15. Facsimile. This Security Agreement may be executed using facsimiles of signatures, and a facsimile of a signature shall be deemed to be the same, and equally enforceable, as an original of such signature.
16. Termination. At such time as the Obligations have been fully paid in cash, the security interest created hereby shall automatically terminate, the Lender shall take all such actions as may be requested by the Company to evidence such termination and to release the liens created hereby, at the Company’s expense.
