the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Lender were
the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided,
however,
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the
Lender to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by the Lender or to present or file any
claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any
part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any
property covered thereby, and no action taken by the Lender or omitted to be
taken with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any
defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of the Grantor or to any claim or
action against the Lender in the absence of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Lender. It is understood and agreed that the
appointment of the Lender as the agent of the Grantor for the purposes set forth
above in this Section 14 is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. The
9
provisions
of this Section 14 shall in no event relieve the Grantor of any of its
obligations hereunder or under the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral
or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Lender to proceed in any
particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any
way limit the exercise by the Lender of any other or further right which it may
have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder or by law or
otherwise.
14) Remedies
upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to
the Lender on demand, and it is agreed that the Lender shall have the right to
take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times: with or
without legal process and with or without previous notice or demand for
performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for
trespass (except for actual damage caused by the Lender’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct) to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located
for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and,
generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under, and
subject to its obligations contained in, the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in California or any other applicable state law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor agrees that the Lender
shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law,
to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or
private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash,
upon credit or for future delivery as the Lender shall deem
appropriate. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the
Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all
rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which the Grantor now has or may at any
time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, immediately upon Lender’s demand
Grantor shall transfer all Cash, including but not limited to all proceeds of
Collateral, to Lender, and shall execute all documents reasonably requested by
Lender to effectuate an assignment of all of Grantor’s deposit accounts and
account balances to Lender at any and all financial institutions at which such
deposits exist at the time of such demand.
15) The
Lender shall give the Grantor ten (10) days’ written notice (which the Grantor
agrees is reasonable notice) of the Lender’s intention to make any sale of
Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state
the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such
sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will
first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public
sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at
such place or places as the Lender may fix and state in the notice (if any) of
such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to
be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the
Lender may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The
Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given. The Lender may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place
to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any
part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral
so sold may be retained by the
10
Lender
until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the
Lender shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers
shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any
such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public
sale made pursuant to this Section 14, the Lender may bid for or purchase, free
(to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal
on the part of the Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and
released to the extent permitted by law), with respect to the Collateral or any
part thereof offered for sale and the Lender may make payment on account thereof
by using any claim then due and payable to the Lender from the Grantor as a
credit against the purchase price, and the Lender may, upon compliance with the
terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further
accountability to the Grantor therefore. For purposes hereof, a
written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be
treated as a sale thereof; the Lender shall be free to carry out such sale and
purchase pursuant to such agreement, and the Grantor shall not be entitled to
the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto,
notwithstanding the fact that after the Lender shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations
paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale
herein conferred upon it, the Lender may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in
equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion
thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed
receiver.

c)

jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
17) Upon
any sale of the Collateral by the Lender (including, without limitation,
pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding),
the receipt of the Lender or of the officer making the sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold
and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the
application of any part of
11
the
purchase money paid over to the Lender or such officer or be answerable in any
way for the misapplication thereof.

required by this Agreement or the Loan Documents to be made with respect to the
Collateral have been made and the Lender has a valid, legal and perfected
security interest in the Collateral.

Interest Absolute. All rights of the Lender hereunder, the
Security Interest, and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder, shall be

enforceability of the Loan Documents, any other agreement with respect to any of
the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the
foregoing, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver
of or consent to any departure from the Loan Documents, or any other agreement
or instrument, (iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other
Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure
from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
discharge of, the Grantor or any other obligor in respect of the Obligations or
in respect of this Agreement.
20) No
Waiver. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or remedy by the Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by
law. The Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights
hereunder or under any other agreement or instrument unless such waiver shall be
in writing and signed by such parties.

Lender hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe any
of the provisions hereof. In addition, the Grantor indemnifies and
holds the Lender harmless from and against any and all liability incurred by the
Lender hereunder or in connection herewith, unless such liability shall be due
to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. Any such
amounts payable as provided hereunder or thereunder shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents.

covenants and conditions hereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that

property, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its
obligations under this agreement and the other Loan Documents.

intentionally waive any rights they may have to a trial by jury in respect of
