  (a)

declare the Debenture, all interest thereon, and all other Obligations payable under the Transaction Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Debenture, all such interest, and all such Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company (but if an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(m) occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by the Holder);

 

  (b)

Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral.

The Holder’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are cumulative. The Holder has all rights and remedies provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. The Holder’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and the Holder’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. The Holder’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

6.5 Application of Collateral Proceeds. The Holder will apply the proceeds of sale, to the extent actually received in cash, in the manner and order it determines in its sole discretion, and as prescribed by Applicable Law.

  (b)

Except as expressly permitted herein, Company hereby agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber any of the Collateral.

Perfection of Security Interest.

 

  (a)

- 17 -


  (b)

The Company shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where the Holder reasonably chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, the Company shall take such steps as the Holder reasonably requests for Holder to (i) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder in its sole reasonable discretion, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Holder, and (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Article 9 of the UCC) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

 

  (c)

The Company shall take such other actions as the Holder reasonably requests from time to time in order to perfect, and, as applicable, maintain the first priority status of, the Holder’s security interests granted under this Agreement.

 

  (d)

The Company does hereby constitute and appoint the Holder as the Company’s true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power (in the name of the Company or otherwise), upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Agreement to file any claims or take any action at law or in equity or as the Holder may otherwise deem appropriate or to be necessary or advisable in respect of the Collateral. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
