The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Grantor shall have paid and performed in full all of its Obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(b) Other Powers. The Grantor also authorizes the Holder, from time to time during any period in which an Event of Default is continuing, in connection with the sale provided for herein, to execute and deliver any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
(c) No Duty on Holder's Part. The powers conferred on the Holder hereunder are solely to protect the Holder's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Holder to exercise any such powers. The Holder shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7. Performance by Holder of Grantor's Obligations. If the Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Holder, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement and following reasonable notice to the Grantor, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Holder incurred in connection with such performance or compliance shall be payable by the Grantor to the Holder on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.
8. Remedies in General. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Holder may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holder, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or expressly provided for) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Holder or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Holder 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 the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived, to the extent permitted by applicable law, or released.
The Grantor further agrees that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Holder's request, the Grantor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Holder at places which the Holder shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Holder 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 therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Holder may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Holder of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Holder account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Holder arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder, provided, that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall relieve the Holder from liability arising solely from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other disposition. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Holder to collect such deficiency.
9. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Holder's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Holder deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Holder nor any of its directors, officers, members, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or otherwise.
10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest until the Grantor has paid and performed in full all of its Obligations under the Transaction Documents.
11. Severability. 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.
12. Paragraph Headings, Captions, Etc. The paragraph headings, the captions and the footers used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Holder shall not by any act, delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Holder, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Holder of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Holder would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein and in the Note and the other Transaction Documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or in equity or by statute.
