10. Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.

(a) Expenses Incurred by Lender. In the Lender’s discretion, if the Grantor fails to do so, the Lender may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees or insurance premiums. The Grantor agrees to reimburse the Lender on demand for all expenditures so made. The Lender shall have no obligation to the Grantor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as a waiver or cure any Event of Default.

(b) Lender’s Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Grantor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Grantor thereunder. The Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Lender of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Lender in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Lender or to which the Lender may be entitled at any time or times. The Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under the UCC of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account.

11. Securities and Deposits. The Lender may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Lender may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand, xxx for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Lender to the Grantor may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations then due and owing.

12. Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor shall, at the request and option of the Lender, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the Lender in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Lender or to any financial institution designated by the Lender as the Lender’s agent therefor, and the Lender may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon the Grantor, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, the Grantor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Grantor as trustee for the Lender without commingling the same with other funds of the Grantor and shall turn the same over to the Lender in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Lender shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Lender to the Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

13. Power of Attorney.

(a) Appointment and Powers of Lender. The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantor or in the Lender’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do the following:

(i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the UCC of the State, and to do, at the Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Lender deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender’s security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all no less fully and effectively as the Grantor might do, including, without limitation, (A) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state or local agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (B) upon written notice to the Grantor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if the Lender so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities and (C) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and

(ii) to the extent that the Grantor’s authorization given in Section 1 above is not sufficient, to file financing statements with respect hereto, with or without the Grantor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Lender may deem appropriate and to execute in the Grantor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require the Grantor’s signature.

(b) Ratification by Grantor. To the extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(c) No Duty on Lender. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for the Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

14. Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

15. Rights and Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur, Lender may, at its election, without demand or notice of any kind, and in additional to any rights or remedies Lender may have under the Loan Agreement, do any one or more of the following:

(a) Declare all of the Obligations to Lender to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all unpaid principal, interest and fees in respect of such Obligations, together with all of Lender’s costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees related thereto, under the terms of the Loan Documents or otherwise, shall be immediately due and payable;

(d) Exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to Lender under the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(e) Set off the unpaid balance of the Obligations against any debt owing to Borrower by the Lender or by any Lender Affiliate, including, without limitation, any obligation under a repurchase agreement or any funds held at any time by the Lender or any Lender Affiliate, whether collected or in the process of collection, or in any time or demand deposit account maintained by Borrower at, or evidenced by any certificate of deposit issued by, the Lender or any Lender Affiliate. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in the Note may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in the amount of such participation;

(f) In any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, Lender shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State and additional rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party in the jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Lender may, so far as the Grantor can give authority therefor, enter upon premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the therefrom. The Lender may in its discretion require the Grantor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Grantor’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Lender may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type custom sold on a recognized market, the Lender shall give to the Grantor at least at ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that ten (10) days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, the Grantor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto. The Lender may also have a receiver appointed to take charge of all or any portion of the Collateral and to exercise all rights of Lender under this Agreement.

(g) The remedies in this Section are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Lender may be entitled. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power, or remedy will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. The remedies in this Agreement are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Lender may be entitled. All Lender’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any other agreement, instrument or document shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

16. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (1) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender would fulfill the Lender’s duties under the UCC of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

17. No Waiver by Lender. The Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights and remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Lender. No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Lender with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Lender deems expedient.

18. Suretyship Waivers by Grantor. The Grantor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, the Grantor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Lender may deem advisable. The Lender shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 9(b) above. The Grantor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

19. Marshalling. The Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

20. Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. The Grantor shall pay to the Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Lender in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Lender’s rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as the Lender may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by the UCC of the State, any excess shall be returned to the Grantor. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, the Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

21. Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the Grantor hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment, interest at the Default Rate (as that term is defined in the Note).

22. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. The provisions of this Agreement and the respective rights and duties of Grantor and Lender hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with New York law. Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in Erie County, New York, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any document related to the Obligations, and Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. The Grantor hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.

23. Waiver of Jury Trial. GRANTOR AND LENDER EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LENDER AND GRANTOR ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

24. Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to Grantor, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, or if to Lender, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to the address of Lender specified on the signature pages of this Agreement. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made when delivered or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, addressed as aforesaid, or sent by facsimile with telephonic confirmation of receipt, except that notices from Grantor to Lender pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received by Lender.

25. Miscellaneous. The headings of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon the Grantor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns. If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein. The Grantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement.
