6.      Accounts and Account Debtors . Borrower authorizes Lender (and any of Lender’s designated officers, employees or agents), without further authorization from Borrower, to sign its name and to take any of the following actions, in its name or in the name of Lender, as Lender may determine, at any time (except as expressly limited in this Section 6) without notice to Borrower and at Borrower’s expense: (a) verify the validity and amount of, or any other matter relating to, the accounts with account debtors; (b) notify all account debtors that the accounts have been assigned to Lender and that Lender has a Security Interest in the accounts; (c) take control in any manner of any cash or noncash items of payment or proceeds of the accounts; (d) in any case and for any reason, notify the United States Postal Service to change the addresses for delivery of mail addressed to Borrower to such address as Lender may designate; (e) in any case and for any reason, receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower; and (f) upon demand for repayment of the Obligations or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as applicable, enforce payment of and collect any accounts, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and for such purpose Lender may: (i) demand payment of any accounts or instruct any account debtors to make payment of accounts directly to Lender (whether to a lockbox account or otherwise); (ii) receive and collect all monies due or to become due to Borrower; (iii) exercise all of Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the accounts; (iv) settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge or release the accounts; (v) endorse the name of Borrower upon any chattel papers, documents, instruments, invoices, freight bills, bills of lading or similar documents or agreements relating to accounts or goods pertaining to accounts or upon any checks or other medium of payment or evidence of security interest that may come into Lender’s possession; (vi) sign the name of Borrower to verifications of accounts sent by account debtors to Borrower; or (vii) take all other actions necessary or desirable to protect Borrower’s interest(s) in the accounts.

Borrower irrevocably authorizes and directs each account debtor to honor any demand by Lender that all payments in respect of the accounts thereafter be paid directly to Lender. In each such case account debtor may continue directing all such payments to Lender until account debtor shall have received written notice from Lender either that the Obligations have been paid in full or that Lender has released its Security Interest. No account debtor shall have any responsibility to inquire into Lender ’s right to make any such demand or to follow Lender’s disposition of any moneys paid to Lender by an account debtor.

Borrower further agrees to use its best efforts to assist Lender in the collection and enforcement of the accounts and will not hinder, delay or impede Lender in any manner in its collection and enforcement of the accounts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that any exercise of the authority under this section by Lender shall be on behalf of Lender and not on behalf of Borrower. Lender is not an agent or fiduciary of Borrower. However, in exercising the authorization granted hereby, Lender shall exercise reasonable caution and prudence, and Lender shall keep full and accurate record of all actions, receipts and disbursements.

7.       Verification and Further Assurances of Collateral . Lender shall have the right to verify all or any Collateral in any manner and through any medium Lender may consider appropriate, and Borrower agrees to furnish all assistance and information and perform any acts which Lender may reasonably require in connection therewith. Borrower will execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered, all such further assurances and other agreements or instruments, and take or cause to be taken all such other actions, as Lender shall reasonably request from time to time to permit Lender to exercise the rights and remedies and have the benefit of the Liens granted to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.       Remedies Upon Events of Default .

(a)      Collateral Repossession . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as set forth in the Loan Agreement, Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral shall be those of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and under any other applicable Law, as the same may from time to time be in effect, in addition to those rights granted herein and in any other agreement now or hereafter in effect between Borrower and Lender, including the other Loan Documents. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, may at any time and from time to time, with or without judicial process, enter upon any premises in which any Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by Borrower, take possession of the Collateral; and/or dispose of any Collateral on any such premises; and/or require Borrower to assemble and make available to Lender at the expense of Borrower any Collateral at any place or time designated by Lender; and/or remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof. Borrower shall at Lender’s request instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding Collateral to deliver same to Lender and/or subject to Lender’s order and if they shall come into any Loan Party’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Lender’s trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Lender in their original form together with any necessary endorsement. In any public disposition, Lender reserves the right to credit bid. Lender may apply the net proceeds actually received from any sale or other disposition to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, leasing and the like, to reasonable attorney’s fees and all legal, travel and other expenses incurred by Lender in attempting to collect any part of the Obligations or enforcing this Agreement; and then to the Obligations in such order of application as Lender may elect; and Borrower shall remain liable and will pay to Lender on demand the amount of any deficiency remaining, together with interest thereon at the highest rate then payable on the Obligations.

(b)      Notice of Repossession . Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, Borrower agrees that any notice by Lender of sale, disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower if such notice is mailed by regular mail, postage prepaid, at least ten (10) days prior to such action, to the address set forth above as the location of Borrower’s chief executive office or to any other address which Borrower has specified in writing to Lender as the address to which notices hereunder shall be given to Borrower, including as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

(c)      Payments and Proceeds from Collateral . Lender may notify Borrower in writing, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without waiving in any manner the Security Interest, that any payments on account of and proceeds from the Collateral received by Borrower (i) shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender in the same medium in which received, (ii) shall not be commingled with any assets of Borrower, and (iii) shall be turned over to Lender not later than the next business day following the day of their receipt.

(d)      Costs and Expenses . Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in enforcing this Agreement, in realizing upon or protecting any Collateral and in enforcing and collecting any Obligations or any guaranty thereof, including, without limitation, if Lender retains counsel for advice, suit, insolvency proceedings or any of the above purposes, the reasonable counsel’s fees and expenses incurred by Lender.

9 .       Miscellaneous .

(e)      Power of Attorney . Borrower hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (with full power of substitution) its true and lawful attorney in fact to act, with full power of substitution, with respect to the Collateral in any transaction, legal proceeding, or other matter in which Lender is acting pursuant to this Agreement. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender with power of substitution and without further authorization from Borrower, to execute, authenticate and/or file on its behalf: (i) UCC financing statements reflecting the Lien of Lender upon the Collateral and any other documents necessary or desirable to perfect or otherwise continue the Security Interest granted herein; (ii) any third party agreements or assignments to grant Lender control over the Collateral, including but not limited to third party agreements between Borrower, Lender, and depository institutions, securities intermediaries, and issuers of letters of credit or other support obligations, which third party agreements direct the third party to accept direction from Lender regarding the maintenance and disposition of the Collateral and the products and proceeds thereof; and (iii) filings in the appropriate jurisdictions with appropriate governmental authorities to create and perfect the Security Interests and Liens in favor of Lender and have the same noted on any certificate of title for each item of Collateral covered by a certificate of title. Upon demand or the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender (A) to make, adjust or settle and receive payment on any insurance claims with respect to the Collateral; (B) to endorse the name of Borrower on any instruments, documents or other evidences of the Collateral that may come into Lender’s possession; (C) to execute proofs of claim and loss or similar documents; (D) to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of sale, conveyance or transfer for any Collateral; (E) to transfer or cause to be transferred into Lender’s name, or the name of its nominee or nominees, any or all of the Collateral; and (F) to perform all other acts which Lender deems appropriate to protect and preserve the Collateral and to enforce the terms of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that any exercise of this authorization by Lender shall be on behalf of Lender and not on behalf of Borrower. Lender is not an agent or fiduciary of Borrower. However, in exercising the authorization granted hereby, Lender shall exercise reasonable caution and prudence, and Lender shall keep full and accurate record of all actions, receipts and disbursements. This authorization is unconditional and irrevocable until the Obligations are paid in full and Borrower shall have performed all of its obligations under this Agreement. Borrower also ratifies its authorization for Lender to have filed any UCC financings statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

(f)      Lender ’s Performance on Borrower’s Behalf . Upon Borrower’s failure to perform any of its covenants or obligations hereunder, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any or all such covenants or obligations, and Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the expense thereof to Lender upon demand by Lender, and all such amounts shall become part of the Obligations secured hereby.

(g)      No Waiver of Remedies . No course of dealing and no delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or with respect to any Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Lender may remedy any default by Borrower hereunder or with respect to any Obligations in any reasonable manner without waiving the default remedied and without waiving any other prior or subsequent default by Borrower. All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative, and are in addition to any and all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law in effect from time to time.

(h)      Preservation of Collateral . Lender shall have no obligation to take, and Borrower shall have the sole responsibility for taking, any and all steps to preserve rights against any and all prior parties to any instrument or chattel paper constituting Collateral whether or not in Lender’s possession. Lender shall not be responsible to Borrower for loss or damage resulting from Lender’s failure to enforce or collect any Collateral or to collect any moneys due or to become due thereunder. Borrower waives protest of any instrument constituting Collateral at any time held by Lender on which Borrower is in any way liable and waives notice of any other action taken by Lender.

(i)      Setoff . Upon and at any time and from time to time after any occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to place an administrative hold on, and setoff against each obligation of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, each obligation of Lender or any affiliate of Lender (in any capacity) owing to Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising or accruing, whether or not then due and whether pursuant to any deposit account or certificate of deposit or in any other manner. Such setoff shall become effective at the time Lender determines even though evidence thereof is not entered in the records of Lender until later.

(j)      Successors and Assigns . The rights and benefits of Lender hereunder shall, if Lender so agrees, inure to any party acquiring any interest in the Obligations or any part thereof. Borrower shall include its heirs, executors or administrators, or permitted successors or assigns. Lender shall include its successors or assigns.

(k)      Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If, however, any such provision shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, it shall be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be prohibited or invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without the remainder thereof or any other such provision being prohibited or invalid.

(l)      Amendments and Waivers . No modification, rescission, waiver, release or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding except by a written agreement subscribed by Borrower and by a duly authorized officer of Lender.

(m)     Suretyship Waivers . Borrower 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.
