The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to the address of Debtor shown at the beginning of this agreement at least ten days before the time of the sale or disposition. Secured Party may buy at any public sale. The net proceeds realized upon any such disposition, after deduction for the expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses incurred by Secured Party, shall be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations secured hereby. The Secured Party will account to the Debtor for any surplus realized on such disposition and the Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
The remedies of the Secured Party hereunder are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under the Uniform Commercial Code of Virginia shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of the Secured Party so long as any part of the Debtor's Obligation remains unsatisfied.

6.
General. No waiver by Secured Party of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. All rights of Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns; and all obligations of Debtor shall bind its successors or assigns. If there be more than one Debtor, their obligations hereunder shall be joint and several. This agreement shall become effective when it is signed by Debtor or its authorized representative.
All rights of the Secured Party in, to and under this agreement and in and to the Collateral shall pass to and may be exercised by any assignee thereof. The Debtor agrees that if the Secured Party gives notice to the Debtor of an assignment of said rights, upon such notice the liability of the Debtor to the assignee shall be immediate and absolute. The Debtor will not set up any claim against the Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim or set-off to any action brought by any such assignee for the unpaid balance owed hereunder or for the possession of the Collateral, provided that Debtor shall not waive hereby any right of action to the extent that waiver thereof is expressly made unenforceable under applicable law.
If any provision of this agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this agreement.
