Section 6. Obligations Secured; Default; Certain Remedies.
(a) This Security Agreement secures the Obligations of the Debtor to the Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence of an "Event of Default," as defined in the Loan Agreement, including but not limited to an Event of Default because of any failure to comply with or perform any Obligations under this Security Agreement, the Secured Party may declare all obligations secured hereby immediately due and payable and shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. The Secured Party may require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party will give the Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed to the Debtor via registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at least fifteen (15) days before the time of sale or disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like, shall include the Secured Party's reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses.

| (i) | to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give a quittance for any and all monies due or to become due; |
|
|
|
| (ii) | to receive, take, endorse, assign and deliver all checks, notes, drafts, documents and other negotiable and non-negotiable instruments and chattel paper taken or received by the Secured Party; |
|
|
|
| (iii) | to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto; |
|
|
|
| (iv) | to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto; |
|
|
|
| (v) | to discharge any taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time placed thereon; and |
|
|
|
| (vi) | to receive, open and forward the Debtor's mail. |
(c) Whenever the security interest granted under this Security Agreement is enforceable, Secured Party may realize upon the Collateral and enforce the rights of Secured Party by (i) appointment by instrument in writing of a receiver (which term as used in this Security Agreement includes a receiver and manager) or agent of all or any part of the Collateral and removal or replacement from time to time of any receiver or agent, and (ii) institution of proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral. Any receiver appointed by Secured Party is vested with the rights and remedies which could have been exercised by Secured Party in respect of the Debtor or the Collateral and such other powers and discretions as are granted in the instrument of appointment and any supplemental instruments. The identity of the receiver, its replacement and its remuneration are within the sole and unfettered discretion of Secured Party. Any receiver appointed by Secured Party will act as agent for Secured Party for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but otherwise and for all other purposes (except as provided below), as agent for the Debtor. The receiver may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of Collateral as agent for the Debtor or as agent for Secured Party, as Secured Party may determine in its discretion. The Debtor agrees to ratify and confirm all actions of the receiver acting as agent for the Debtor, and to release and indemnify the receiver in respect of all such actions. Secured Party, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver, does not incur liability to the receiver, the Debtor or otherwise and is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence of such receiver.
