TOGETHER WITH all right, title and interest of the Debtor in, and to use, lease or dispose of, the Collateral as well as any proceeds deriving from such Collateral;
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same unto the Secured Party and its successors and assigns, absolutely and forever, as security as aforesaid;
UPON CONDITION that if the Borrower shall well and truly pay to the Secured Party the principal amount of the Note, with interest and other charges, if any, according to its provisions and effect and shall discharge any and all obligations that now or hereafter may be or become owing, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower and Debtor to the Secured Party under the Loan Documents on any and every account, whether or not the same are matured, of which obligations the books of the Secured Party shall be prima facie evidence, and if the Borrower and Debtor shall fully and faithfully perform and observe all of the covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed and observed by the Debtor and Borrower in the Loan Documents, including this Security Agreement, and any and every other instrument or document secured hereby, and if the Debtor shall pay the cost of release, the Secured Party will, upon request of the Debtor, release the Collateral from the security interest created by this Agreement and these presents shall be void, it being understood, however, that an affidavit, certificate, letter or statement of any officer of the Secured Party showing that any part of the indebtedness remains unpaid or any terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements remain unperformed shall constitute conclusive evidence of the validity, effectiveness and continuing force of this Security Agreement.
Subject to the terms hereof, until the happening of an "Event of Default" as defined in the Loan Agreement, the Debtor shall be entitled to use and to possess the Collateral.
BUT, if any "Event of Default" as defined in the Loan Agreement shall occur which is not timely cured or waived, then the Secured Party, without obligation to do so and without releasing or waiving any of its rights, shall have the right, power and authority, without notice, presentment or demand to declare the unpaid principal amount of the Note and any other indebtedness secured hereby, whether matured or not, together with any interest thereon accrued and unpaid, to be immediately due and payable, and such indebtedness and interest shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest until fully paid at the rate specified in the Note to be paid in the event of default, and the Secured Party may, at its option, without notice and irrespective of whether declaration of default is required to be delivered to any party named in the Loan Documents or other instrument or obligations securing the Note or secured hereunder or whether remedies under other security instruments have been exercised, exercise all right and remedies contained in the Loan Documents, including this Security Agreement, or any other security instruments and obligations and shall have all rights and remedies available to the Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not timely cured or waived:
(a) The Secured Party may, at the Secured Party's option and at the Debtor's expense, either in the Secured Party's own right or in the name of the Debtor and in the same manner and to the same extent that the Debtor might reasonably so act if this Security Agreement had not been made, (i) demand, xxx for, collect, recover, receive and otherwise enforce payment of all proceeds and other sums due and payable from the Collateral, the Debtor hereby requesting and instructing all other parties to the Contracts or liable to the Debtor in connection with the Collateral to make all payments then due or which may thereafter become due thereunder or thereby to the Secured Party, and the Debtor further agreeing that the receipt by the Secured Party of any such payments shall be a complete release and discharge of the obligor or obligors thereof to the extent of the payment or payments so made; (ii) do all things requisite, convenient or necessary to enforce the performance and observance of any and all other covenants, agreements, conditions, terms and provisions of the Contracts, and to exercise all the rights, remedies and privileges of the Debtor contained in the Contracts or arising from the Collateral or any part thereof, including, but not limited to, the making, modifying, amending, enforcing, cancelling, surrendering or accepting the surrender of, terminating or extending any of the Contracts now or hereafter in effect, and also including the compromising, waiving, excusing, or in any manner releasing or discharging of any obligation of any party to or arising from the Collateral; (iii) take possession of the books, papers and accounts of the Debtor, wherever located, relating to the Collateral; (iv) receive, and the Debtor will forthwith surrender to the Secured Party, the possession of the Collateral, and, to the extent permitted by law, the Secured Party may itself or by such officers or agents as it may appoint (A) manage or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, (B) exclude the Debtor, its agents and servants therefrom, (C) make, enforce, modify and accept the surrender of any Contracts or leases covering all or any portion of the Property, (D) obtain and evict tenants, fix or modify purchase prices or rents, fill any and all vacancies and lease the Property or Personal Property, or any part thereof, and (E) do all acts, including the making of contracts, which the Secured Party deems necessary for the care or management of the Property or Personal Property; (v) xxx or otherwise collect and receive monies; and (vi) do all other things requisite, convenient or necessary to require the other parties to the Contracts to perform the same or which the Secured Party deems proper to protect the security given hereunder.
(b) The Secured Party may foreclose this Security Agreement in the manner now or hereafter provided or permitted by law, including treatment of the Collateral as real property subject to judicial foreclosure pursuant to Chapter 667, Hawaii Revised Statutes, as amended, and shall have the immediate right to receivership on ex parte order and without bond pending foreclosure, and may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at public or private sale, in whole or in part, and the Secured Party may, in its own name or as the irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of the Debtor, effectually assign and transfer the Collateral, or any part thereof, absolutely and execute and deliver all necessary assignments, deeds, conveyances, bills of sale and other instruments with power to substitute one or more persons or corporations with like power; and, if the Secured Party so instructs the Debtor, the Debtor shall assemble, without expense to the Secured Party, all of the Collateral at a convenient place on the Island of Hawaii, at the Secured Party's option, and the Debtor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by delivering all proper instruments to such persons or corporations as may be designated in any such request. Any such foreclosure sale, assignment or transfer shall, to the extent permitted by law, be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Debtor and all persons and entities lawfully claiming by or through or under the Debtor. Any such sale may be adjourned from time to time. The Secured Party shall give the Debtor notice of any public or private sale as may be required by the UCC and in any event no less than ten (10) days. Upon any sale, the Secured Party may bid for and purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, and upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of the Collateral, in its absolute right without further accountability, and any purchaser, including the Secured Party, at any such sale may, if permitted by law, after allowing for the proportion of the total purchase price required to be paid in cash for the costs and expenses of the sale, commissioner's compensation and other charges, in paying purchase money, tum in the Note, including interest and charges thereon, in lieu of cash, up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon.
In case of any Event of Default which is not timely cured or waived, neither the Debtor nor anyone claiming by, through or under the Debtor, to the extent the Debtor may lawfully so agree, shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any of the Collateral is situated in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Security Agreement, or the absolute sale of the Collateral or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereat; and the Debtor in the Debtor's own right and for all who may claim under the Debtor, hereby waives, to the full extent that the Debtor may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have the estates comprised in the security intended to be created hereby marshalled upon any enforcement of the lien hereof and agrees that the Secured Party or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Collateral in parts or as an entirety. The Secured Party may apply the proceeds of any such sale first, to the costs and expenses of such sale and all proceedings in connection therewith, including counsel fees; next, to the payment of any disbursements made by the Secured Party for taxes or assessments or other charges prior to the security interest of this Security Agreement which the Secured Party shall deem it expedient to pay; next, to the repayment of any other disbursements made by the Secured Party according to the terms hereof; and next, to the payment of the unpaid principal or any interest or other charges on the Note, and any other obligations of the Debtor under the Loan Documents; and the remainder, if any, shall be paid over to the Debtor. If such proceeds shall be insufficient to discharge the entire indebtedness owing by the Debtor under this Security Agreement, the Loan Documents and any other instrument or obligation secured hereunder, the Secured Party may have any other legal recourse against the Debtor for the deficiency.
Nothing in this Agreement or the Note shall affect or impair the right, which is unconditional and absolute, of the holder of the Note to enforce payment of the principal or any interest on the Note and all fees, charges and other sums due under the Loan Documents at or after the date therein expressed as the date when the same shall become due, or the obligation of the Debtor secured hereunder, which is likewise unconditional and absolute, to pay such amounts at the respective times and places therein expressed.

Such application or restoration shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. No lien upon any of such policies of insurance, or upon any refund or return premium which may be payable on the cancellation or termination thereof, shall be given to anyone other than the Secured Party, except by proper endorsement affixed to such policy and approved by the Secured Party.

C. MUTUAL COVENANTS. The Debtor and the Secured Party mutually covenant and agree each with the other as follows:
1. Secured Party Not Obligated To Perform. Neither the acceptance of this Security Agreement by the Secured Party, nor the exercise of any rights hereunder by the Secured Party, shall be construed in any way as an assumption by the Secured Party of any obligations, responsibilities or duties of the Debtor arising from the Collateral assigned hereunder or otherwise bind the Secured Party to the performance of any of the terms and provisions contained in any of the Contracts or of any obligations respecting the Personal Property, it being expressly understood that the Secured Party shall not be obligated to perform, observe or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty or liability of the Debtor under any of the Collateral, including, but not limited to, appearing in or defending any action, expending any money or incurring any expenses in connection therewith.
2. Right of Secured Party To Defend Action Affecting Security. The Secured Party may, at the Debtor's expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding at law or in equity purporting to affect the Secured Party's security interest under this Security Agreement.
3. Right of Secured Party To Prevent or Remedy Default. If the Debtor shall fail to perform any of the covenants, conditions and agreements required to be performed and observed by the Debtor under the Loan Documents, including this Security Agreement, the Contracts, or any other instruments secured hereby, or in respect of the Personal Property, the Secured Party (a) may, but shall not be obligated to, take action the Secured Party deems necessary or desirable to prevent or remedy any such default by the Debtor or otherwise to protect the security interest of the Secured Party under this Security Agreement, and (b) shall have the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon or take possession of the Property, Collateral or any part thereof to such extent and as often as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or to cure any such default by the Debtor, or otherwise to protect the security of this Security Agreement. The Secured Party may advance or expend such sums of money for the account of the Debtor, as the Secured Party in its sole discretion deems necessary for any such purpose.
4. Secured Party's Expenses. All advances, costs, expenses, charges and attorneys' fees which the Secured Party may make, pay or incur under any provision of this Security Agreement for the protection of its security or for the enforcement of any of its rights hereunder, or in foreclosure proceedings commenced and subsequently dismissed, or in any dispute or litigation in which the Secured Party or the holder of the Note may become involved by reason of or arising out of the Loan Documents, including this Security Agreement, or any other instrument secured hereby, or the Collateral or the care and management of the Collateral, shall be paid by the Debtor to the Secured Party, upon demand, and shall bear interest until paid at the rate specified by the Note to be paid in the event of default thereunder, all of which obligations shall be additional charges upon the Collateral and be equally secured hereby.
5. Secured Party's Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or if the Secured Party shall be served with garnishee process in which the Debtor shall be named as defendant, whether or not the Debtor shall be in default hereunder at the time, the Secured Party may, but shall not be required to, set off any indebtedness owing by the Secured Party to the Debtor against any indebtedness secured hereby, without first resorting to the security hereunder and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Secured Party or its security interest herein.
6. No Waiver. In case the Secured Party shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy hereunder and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case, the Debtor and the Secured Party shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Secured Party shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken. No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy or power under this Security Agreement or in giving or insisting upon strict performance by the Debtor hereunder or in giving notice hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the same or any other power or right, and no single or partial exercise of any such power or right shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such power or right. The Secured Party, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by the Debtor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement to be performed by the Debtor. The collection and application of proceeds, the entering and taking possession of the Collateral, and the exercise of the rights of the Secured Party contained in the Loan Documents, including this Security Agreement, shall not cure or waive any default, or affect any notice of default or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. No waiver by the Secured Party of any breach or default of or by any party hereunder, shall be deemed to alter or affect the Secured Party's rights hereunder with respect to any prior or subsequent defaults.
7. Remedies. No right or remedy herein reserved to the Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and is not in lieu of but shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies given under this Security Agreement. Any and all of the Secured Party's rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often as such exercise is deemed necessary or desirable by the Secured Party.
8. Right of Secured Party To Extend Time of Payment, Substitute, Release Security, Etc. Without affecting the liability of any person, including the Debtor, for the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, or the lien of this Security Agreement on the Collateral, or the remainder thereof, for the full amount of any indebtedness unpaid, the Secured Party may from time to time, without notice or without affecting or impairing any of the Secured Party's rights under this Security Agreement: (a) release any person liable for the payment of any of the indebtedness, (b) extend the time or otherwise alter the terms of payment of any of the indebtedness or accept a renewal note or notes to evidence such an extension or alteration, (c) accept additional security therefor of any kind, including (but not limited to) deeds of trust or mortgages, (d) alter, substitute or release from any security interest or lien held by the Secured Party any property securing the indebtedness secured hereby to its several securities therefor in such order and manner as it may deem fit, (e) join in granting any easement or creating any restriction thereon, or (f) join in any extension, subordination or other agreement affecting this Security Agreement or the lien or charge thereof.
