9

 

provisions of this Section 14 shall in no event relieve the Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Lender to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Lender of any other or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder or by law or otherwise.
 
14)           Remedies upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Lender on demand, and it is agreed that the Lender shall have the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times: with or without legal process and with or without previous notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass (except for actual damage caused by the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under, and subject to its obligations contained in, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in California or any other applicable state law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor agrees that the Lender shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Lender shall deem appropriate.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which the Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, immediately upon Lender’s demand Grantor shall transfer all Cash, including but not limited to all proceeds of Collateral, to Lender, and shall execute all documents reasonably requested by Lender to effectuate an assignment of all of Grantor’s deposit accounts and account balances to Lender at any and all financial institutions at which such deposits exist at the time of such demand.
 
15)           The Lender shall give the Grantor ten (10) days’ written notice (which the Grantor agrees is reasonable notice) of the Lender’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Lender may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Lender may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.  The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the

 
10

 

Lender until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Lender shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public sale made pursuant to this Section 14, the Lender may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of the Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and the Lender may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Lender from the Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Lender may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Grantor therefore.  For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Lender shall be free to carry out such sale and purchase pursuant to such agreement, and the Grantor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Lender shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Lender may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
 
16)           Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied by the Lender as follows:
 
a)            FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Lender hereunder on behalf of the Grantor and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder;
