(b) Grantor will, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Collateral and the First Priority lien and security interest of Secured Party therein against the claim of any person claiming against or through Grantor and will maintain and preserve such perfected First Priority lien and security interest for so long as this Agreement remains in effect.

This appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. Grantor hereby ratifies all actions that attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

8. Secured Party May Perform. If Grantor fails to perform any obligation contained in this Agreement, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith will be payable by Grantor, provided that Secured Party will not be required to perform or discharge any obligation of Grantor.
9. Reasonable Care. Secured Party will have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care. Secured Party will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured Party will not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to any claims, the nature or sufficiency of any payment or performance by any party under or pursuant to any agreement relating to the Collateral or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Nothing set forth in this Agreement nor the exercise by Secured Party of any of the rights and remedies hereunder relieves Grantor from the performance of any obligation on Grantor’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral.
10. Remedies Upon Default.
(a) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party, without any other notice to or demand upon Grantor, may assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase, or otherwise retain, liquidate, or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to Grantor at its notice address as provided in Section 14 ten (10) days prior to the date of such disposition will constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner is sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, Secured Party may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) as Secured Party in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof will have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, Secured Party may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee, or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and will be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. Grantor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, Secured Party or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither Secured Party nor any custodian will be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor will it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Secured Party to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the type included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Secured Party is not obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
5
(b) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral and all cash Proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral will be applied in whole or in part by Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds will be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as Secured Party elects. Any surplus of such cash or cash Proceeds held by Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations will be paid over to Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. Grantor remains liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash Proceeds of any sale or other realization of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(c) If Secured Party chooses to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to this section, Grantor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party, Grantor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
11. No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 13), delay, indulgence, omission, or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or Event of Default. All rights and remedies provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
12. Security Interest Absolute. To the extent permitted by applicable law, 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. All rights of Secured Party and liens and security interests hereunder, and all Secured Obligations of Grantor hereunder, is absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any related agreement or instrument;
(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Note, this Agreement or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment, or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver, or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;
(d) any manner of sale, disposition, or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations;
(e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;
(f) any defense, set-off, or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, Grantor against Secured Party; or
6
(g) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loan or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Secured Party that might vary the risk of Grantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Grantor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.
13. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated, or waived unless in writing and signed by the parties.
14. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement must be given in the manner set forth in the Note.
15. Continuing Security Interest; Further Actions. This Agreement creates a continuing First Priority lien and security interest in the Collateral and will (a) subject to Section 16, remain in full force and effect until payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, (b) be binding upon Grantor, its successors, and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors, transferees, and assigns; provided that Grantor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured Party.
16. Termination; Release. On or promptly after the date on which all Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full, Secured Party will, at the request and sole expense of Grantor, (a) duly assign, transfer and deliver to or at the direction of Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may then remain in the possession of Secured Party, together with any monies at the time held by Secured Party hereunder, and (b) execute and deliver to Grantor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement.
17. Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute, or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona.
