No delay or omission by Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy arising from any default will impair any such right or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver thereof or of any such default or an acquiescence therein.
Release of Security Interest.
(a) Upon full and complete payment of all sums owing and to be owing by Debtor to Secured Party and the termination of any obligations of Debtor under the Security Agreement, together with all costs incurred in connection therewith, at the request and expense of Debtor, Secured Party will make, execute and deliver a reassignment of the properties assigned hereby and of the monies, revenues, proceeds, benefits and payments, if any, that may be owing upon the aforesaid Collateral to Debtor but without covenant or warranty, however, of any kind or character, express or implied, and with the provisions that Secured Party will not be required or called upon to refund or account for any payments properly made to Secured Party which have been or may be properly applied to any Indebtedness secured or to be secured hereby.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (a) above, and provided that Debtor is current on its payments and not in default under The Note, Debtor shall have a right to receive partial releases. As each payment is made on the Note, the collateral held will be reduced proportionally to the amount of Note repaid. By way of example, when the first scheduled repayment of $2,333,333.33 is made then the collateral held against the Note will be reduced to 10,000,000 shares of CHVC and so on until all repayments are made. Buyer will be free to use the 5,000,000 shares released on each scheduled payment of $2,333,333.33 at its sole discretion.
Validity of Security Interest. No security taken hereafter as security for payment of any part or all of the Indebtedness shall impair in any manner or affect this Security Agreement, all such present and future additional security to be considered as cumulative security. Any of the Collateral may be released from this Security Agreement without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, security interest or charge of this Security Agreement as to the Collateral not expressly released, and this Agreement shall continue as a first lien, security interest and charge on all of the Collateral not expressly released until all sums and indebtedness secured hereby have been paid in full.
