3. Authorization to File Financing Statements. The Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such jurisdiction, and (b) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether the Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to the Debtor.

9.1 Maintenance of Insurance. The Debtor will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with respect to its properties and business against such casualties and contingencies as shall be in accordance with general practices of businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas. Such insurance shall be in such minimum amounts that the Debtor will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations and policies. In addition, all such insurance shall be payable to the Secured Party as loss payee.
9.2 Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any casualty insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of the Collateral shall, subject to the rights, if any, of other parties with a prior interest in the property covered thereby, be held by the Secured Party as cash collateral for the Obligations. The Secured Party may, at its sole option, disburse from time to time all or any part of such proceeds so held as cash collateral, upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may reasonably prescribe, for direct application by the Debtor solely to the repair or replacement of the Debtor’s property so damaged or destroyed, or the Secured Party may apply all or any part of such proceeds to the Obligations.

The Debtor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party on demand for any and all expenditures so made. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to the Debtor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof relieve the Debtor of any default.
-3-
10.2 Secured Party’s Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Debtor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Debtor thereunder. The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Secured Party or to which the Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times. The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 102 shall be subject to Secured Party’s obligations under the SDASA.
11. Power of Attorney.
11.1 Appointment and Powers of Secured Party. Upon an Event of Default and while such Event of Default is continuing, the Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Debtor or in the Secured Party’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Debtor, upon an Event of Default and while such Event of Default is continuing, but otherwise without notice to or assent by the Debtor, to do the following: generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do at the Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Debtor might do. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
12. Event of Default; Remedies.
12.1 Event of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:
(a) Any failure or neglect to perform or observe any of the material terms, provisions or covenants of this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied after not less than thirty (30) days written notice;
(b) Any “Event of Default” as defined in the SDASA.
-4-
(c) Any breach or default under any Transaction Document that continues unremedied beyond any notice and cure or grace period expressly applicable thereto.
12.2 General Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may, without notice to or demand upon the Debtor, and without limiting any of its other rights and remedies upon an Event of Default, declare this Agreement to be in default, and the Secured Party shall thereafter have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought all rights and remedies available at law and in equity, and in addition thereto, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or of any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Secured Party may, so far as the Debtor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Secured Party may in its discretion require the Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Debtor’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Secured Party may reasonably designate. 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 shall give to the Debtor at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. The Debtor hereby acknowledges that ten (10) business days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, the Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto.
12.3 Reserved.
12.4 Reserved.
12.5 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (c) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (d) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (e) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (f) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (g) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (h) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (i) to disclaim disposition warranties, (j) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (k) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Party’s
-5-
exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Debtor or to impose any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.
13. No Waiver by Secured Party, etc. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Secured Party deems expedient.
14. Suretyship Waivers by Debtor. The Debtor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, the Debtor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Secured Party may deem advisable. Except as set forth in the SDASA, the Secured Party 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 as set forth in Section 10.2. The Debtor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses. Further, the Debtor agrees that it is not necessary for the Secured Party to inquire into the powers of the Debtor or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf for any purpose. Each party comprising the Debtor is and shall continue to be fully informed as to all aspects of the business affairs of each party comprising the Debtor that it deems relevant to the risks it is assuming and hereby waives and fully discharges the Secured Party from any and all obligations to communicate to either party comprising the Debtor any facts of any nature whatsoever regarding the Debtor’s business affairs. Neither party comprising the Debtor shall have any right of subrogation and hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Secured Party now has, or may hereafter have, against the other party comprising the Debtor. Nothing contained herein shall affect or limit the right of the Secured Party to proceed against any person or entity, including the Debtor, with respect to the enforcement of any guarantee or other similar rights, regardless of whether the Secured Party elects to take any action against the Debtor.
15. Marshalling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtor 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 the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
-6-
16. Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses; Attorneys’ Fees. The Debtor shall pay to the Secured Party on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Secured Party in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Secured Party’s rights under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale of the Obligations or Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as the Secured Party may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, any excess shall be returned to the Debtor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but except as otherwise expressly provided in the SDASA, the Debtor shall not be liable for any deficiency in the payment of the Obligations. In the event of any action or proceeding involving this Agreement or the Obligations, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
17. Reserved.
18. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE. The Debtor agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State or any other state in which the Secured Party has an office or any federal court sitting in the State or any other state in which the Secured Party has an office. The Debtor hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. 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.
19. 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 this Agreement, the Secured Party is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained in this Section.
20. Miscellaneous. The headings of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. All references herein to the “Debtor” shall be considered separate references to each of the stated parties comprising the Debtor and to such parties collectively, and all representations, warranties, obligations and agreements applicable to the Debtor shall apply separately to each of the stated parties comprising the Debtor and to such parties collectively. 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. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters discussed herein. This Agreement may only be modified by a written agreement signed by both parties.
