(j)

any xxxx, xxxx (including mechanics lien), seizure, attachment, execution or similar process shall be issued or levied on any material portion of the property of Borrower or on any Collateral, and such lien or levy shall not be removed within sixty (60) days.

6.2

Acceleration Upon Borrower Event of Default.

(a)

If a Borrower Event of Default under Section 6.1(f) shall have occurred, all Obligations with respect to Advances under the Operating Sublimit shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand.  If any other Borrower Event of Default shall have occurred which, to the extent capable, has not been cured or waived by Lender, at the election of Lender, all Obligations with respect to Advances under the Operating Sublimit shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand.

(b)

Lender is hereby authorized, at its election, after a Borrower Event of Default shall have occurred which has not been cured or waived by Lender, without any further demand or notice except to such extent as notice may be required by applicable law, to take possession and/or sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale; and Lender may also exercise any and all other rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or which are otherwise accorded to it in equity or at law, all as Lender may determine, and such exercise of rights in compliance with the requirements of law will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.  If notice of a sale or other action by Lender is required by applicable law, unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Borrower agrees that ten (10) days’ written notice to Borrower, or the shortest period of written notice permitted by such law, whichever is smaller, shall be sufficient notice; and that to the extent permitted by law, Lender, its officers, attorneys and agents may bid and become purchasers at any such sale, if public, and may purchase at any private sale any of the Collateral that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market or which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations.  Any sale (public or private) shall be without warranty and free from any right of redemption, which Borrower shall waive and release after default upon Lender’s request therefor, and may be free of any warranties as to the Collateral if Lender shall so decide.  No purchaser at any sale (public or private) shall be responsible for the application of the purchase money.  Any balance of the net proceeds of sale remaining after paying all Obligations of Borrower with respect to Advances under the Operating Sublimit to Lender shall be returned to such other party as may be legally entitled thereto; and if there is a deficiency, Borrower shall be responsible for the same, with interest.  Upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower.  Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender has extended credit and other financial accommodations to Borrower upon reliance of Borrower’s granting Lender the rights and remedies contained in this Agreement including without limitation the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral upon the occurrence of a Borrower Event of Default which has not been cured or waived by Lender and Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender is entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief to enforce any of its rights and remedies hereunder and Borrower hereby waives any defense to such equitable or injunctive relief based upon any allegation of the absence of irreparable harm to Lender.

-22-

(c)

Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Collateral subject to the security interest created hereby), or guarantees of, the Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guarantees in any particular order; and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such securities and guarantees shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower 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 Lender’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and to the extent that it lawfully may do so, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.  Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, Lender shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.

6.3

Power of Attorney Upon Borrower Event of Default.  Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower but for the sole benefit of Lender, upon the occurrence of a Borrower Event of Default which has not been cured or waived by Lender, to convert the Collateral into cash, including, without limitation, completing the manufacture or processing of work in process, and the sale (either public or private) of all or any portion or portions of the Collateral (subject to the notice and other terms provided in Section 6.2, above); to enforce collection of the Collateral, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower, including, without limitation, executing releases or waivers, compromising or settling with any Account Debtors and prosecuting, defending, compromising or releasing any action relating to the Collateral; to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower and to take therefrom any remittances or proceeds of Collateral in which Lender has a security interest; to notify applicable postal authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to Borrower to such address as Lender shall designate; to endorse the name of Borrower in favor of Lender upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances or other instruments of the same or different nature; to sign and endorse the name of Borrower on and to receive as secured party any of the Collateral, any invoices, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading, storage receipts, warehouse receipts, or other documents of title of the same or different nature relating to the Collateral; to sign the name of Borrower on any notice of the Account Debtors or on verification of the Collateral; and to sign, if necessary, and file or record on behalf of Borrower any financing or other statement in order to perfect or protect Lender’s security interest.  Lender shall not be obliged to do any of the acts or exercise any of the powers hereinabove authorized, but if Lender elects to do any such act or exercise any such power, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and it shall not be entitled to collect more than an amount equal to the then outstanding Obligations, and any sums received in excess of the then-outstanding Obligations shall be returned to Borrower, and it shall not be responsible to Borrower or to any other party (and shall be and is hereby indemnified by Borrower against any such responsibility to any other party) except in the event that Lender has been determined, with finality, by a court of competent jurisdiction, that Lender has committed gross negligence or willful misconduct.  All powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligation of Borrower or any surety to Lender shall remain unpaid or Lender are obligated under this Agreement to extend any credit to Borrower.

6.4

App Loan Event of Default.  If an “Event of Default” (as defined in the App Loan Agreement) (such event, an “App Event of Default”) shall have occurred, Borrower may send Lender an App Default Notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, unless a Borrower Event of Default has occurred, an App Event of Default shall not constitute a default under this Agreement.

6.5

Nonexclusive Remedies.  All of Lender’s rights and remedies not only under the provisions of this Agreement but also under any other agreement or transaction shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by Lender at such time or times and in such order of preference as Lender in its sole discretion may determine.

-23-

7.4

Indemnification.  Borrower shall protect, defend (by counsel selected by Lender and reasonably acceptable to Borrower), indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against all liabilities (including sums paid in settlement of claims), losses, costs, obligations, demands, suits, liens, damages, and fines (including any sums ordered to be paid or expended by Indemnitees by any governmental entity as a fine, penalty or damages) arising as a direct or indirect result of Borrower’s failure to perform any of the agreements, terms or conditions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents required to be performed by Borrower, or for the breach by Borrower of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein or in any other Loan Document (including, without limitation any third party claims arising therefrom).  Notwithstanding the foregoing indemnity, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any liability (including sums paid in settlement of claims), loss, cost, obligation, demand, suit, lien, damage, or fine (including any sums ordered to be paid or expended by Indemnitees by any governmental entity as a fine, penalty or damage) which is due to its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or where such indemnification would be a violation of applicable law.  The indemnification provided by this Section 7.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations, any termination of this Agreement, and/or release or discharge executed by Lender in favor of Borrower.

7.5

Costs and Expenses.  Borrower shall pay to Lender any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and disbursements, court costs, litigation and other expenses) incurred or paid by Lender in establishing, maintaining, protecting or enforcing any of Lender’s rights or the Obligations, including, without limitation, any and all such costs and expenses incurred or paid by Lender in defending Lender’s security interest in, title or right to the Collateral or in collecting or attempting to collect or enforcing or attempting to enforce payment of the Obligations.  Each of the costs and expenses incurred by Lender hereunder and payable by Borrower shall be deemed evidenced by and added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note.

7.10
