9. Events of Default. The occurrence of an "Event of Default" as that term is defined in the Note, shall be deemed an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Agreement.
10. Remedies Upon Default. Upon any Event of Default specified above and at any time thereafter and to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) Secured Party may, subject to the limitations set forth in the Note, at its option and without notice, declare the unpaid balance of any or all of the Obligations immediately due and payable under this Agreement and any or all of the Obligations in default; (b) all payments received by Debtor under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be held by Debtor in trust for Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor and shall forthwith upon receipt by Debtor be turned over to Secured Party in the same form as received by Debtor (duly endorsed by Debtor to Secured Party, if required). Any and all such payments so received by Secured Party (whether from Debtor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Secured Party, be held by Secured Party as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter be applied in whole or in part by Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as Secured Party may elect. Any balance of such payments held by Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to Debtor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Nothing set forth in subparagraph 10(b) shall authorize or be construed to authorize Debtor to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral except as provided in subparagraph 5(b) hereof; and subject to the limitations in the Note, and in addition to all rights and remedies specified in the Note, this Agreement or any other agreement between Debtor and Secured Party, Secured Party shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under this Agreement, under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations and under the law of the State of New York. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and all books and records relating to the Collateral and for that purpose Secured Party may enter upon, with or without breaking into, any premises on which the Collateral or books and records relating to the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom. Debtor expressly agrees that Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notices specified below of time and place of public sale or disposition or time after which a private sale or disposition is to occur) to or upon Debtor or any other person or entity (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), 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 the Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any of Secured Party's offices or elsewhere at such prices as Secured Party may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Secured Party 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 the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Debtor. Debtor further agrees, at Secured Party's request, to assemble the Collateral and to make it available to Secured Party at such places as Secured Party may reasonably select, whether at Debtor's premises or elsewhere. Debtor further agrees to allow Secured Party to use or occupy Debtor's premises, without charge, for the purpose of effecting Secured Party's remedies in respect of the Collateral. Secured Party 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 in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law need Secured Party account for the surplus, if any to Debtor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waves all claims, damages and demands against Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or disposition of the Collateral and waives relief from valuation and appraisement laws. Debtor agrees that Secured Party need not give more than five (5) days' notice (in the manner provided in the Note) 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. Debtor 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 Secured Party is entitled. Debtor shall also be liable for the costs of collecting any of the Obligations or otherwise enforcing the terms thereof or of this Agreement including reasonable attorneys' fees.
11. Notices. Any notice required or otherwise given concerning this Agreement by either party to the other shall be given as notices are required to be given under the terms of the Note.
12. General. Any provision of this 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. This Agreement is given pursuant to the terms of the Note and shall be deemed a part thereof and subject to the terms and conditions of the Note, and the Note shall control in the event of ambiguity or inconsistency. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights hereunder or under any other agreement, instrument or paper signed by Debtor unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. All of Secured Party's rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby or by any other agreement, instrument or paper, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Any written demand upon or written notice to Debtor shall be effective when deposited in the mails addressed to Debtor at the address shown at the beginning of this Agreement. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity and performance, shall be governed by the law of the State of New York, including, without limitation, the UCC. The provisions hereof shall, as the case may require, bind or inure to the benefit of, the respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns of Debtor and Secured Party.
13. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO TAKE EFFECT AS A SEALED INSTRUMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Debtor agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this agreement may be brought in the courts of the State or any federal court sitting in the State of New York and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and to service of process in any such suit being made upon the Debtor by mail at the address set forth hereinabove. The Debtor 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.
14. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE DEBTOR WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS. Except as prohibited by law, the Debtor waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. The Debtor (i) certifies that neither the Secured Party nor any representative, agent or attorney of the Secured Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Secured Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (ii) acknowledges that, in entering into the Credit Documents, and the other loan agreements to which the Secured Party is a party, the Secured Party is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained in this Section 14.
15. 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 Debtor and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party 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 Debtor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement.
