This power of attorney is conferred on the Secured Party solely to protect, preserve, maintain, and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral. The Secured Party shall not be responsible for any decline in the value of the Collateral and shall not be required to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or to protect, preserve, or maintain any Lien given to secure the Collateral.
Section 5.2. Assignment by the Secured Party. The Secured Party may at any time assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Obligations) to any other Person, to the extent permitted by, and upon the conditions contained in, the Loan Agreement, and such Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits thereof granted to the Secured Party herein or otherwise.

Section 5.3. Possession; Reasonable Care. The Secured Party may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, appoint one or more agents to hold physical custody, for the account of the Secured Party, of any or all of the Collateral that the Secured Party has a right to possess. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that the Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral.

Default
Section 6.1. Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period, then the Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies:
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Secured Party in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or by applicable law, the Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party may (i) without demand or notice to any Grantor or any other Person, collect, receive or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and for that purpose the Secured Party may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral is located and remove the Collateral therefrom or render it inoperable, and/or (ii) sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable or otherwise as may be permitted by law. The Secured Party shall have the right at any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale or sales, to bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) and become a purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof free of any right or equity of redemption on the part of any Grantor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by each Grantor. Upon the request of the Secured Party, each Grantor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at any place designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to the Grantors and the Secured Party. Each Grantor agrees that the Secured Party shall be obligated to give at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of Collateral may have been given. The Secured Party 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. The Grantors shall be liable for all reasonable and documented expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or the like, and all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, legal expenses, and other documented costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement. The Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral applied to the Obligations are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full. The Secured Party may apply the Collateral against the Obligations. Each Grantor waives all rights of marshaling, valuation, and appraisal in respect of the Collateral. Any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Secured Party, be held by the Secured Party as collateral for, and then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party against, the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds and interest accrued thereon, if any, held by the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to the Grantors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus; provided that the Secured Party shall have no obligation to invest or otherwise pay interest on any amounts held by it in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement.
| 11 |
(b) The Secured Party may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of the Secured Party or the name or names of the Secured Party’s nominee or nominees.
(c) The Secured Party may exercise any and all rights and remedies of any Grantor under or in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of any Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, any of the Collateral and any and all voting rights and corporate powers in respect of the Collateral. The Grantors shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Secured Party all such proxies and other instruments as the Secured Party may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this clause (c) and to receive the dividends, interest, and other distributions which it is entitled to receive hereunder.
(d) The Secured Party may collect or receive all money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so.
(e) On any sale of the Collateral, the Secured Party is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary, in the opinion of the Secured Party’s counsel, in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable governmental authority.
(f) For purposes of enabling the Secured Party to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 and enabling the Secured Party and its successors and assigns to enjoy the full benefits of the Collateral in each case as the Secured Party shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 6.1, each Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors and subject to the pre-existing rights of third parties) to use, assign, license, or sublicense any of the intellectual property, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and all computer programs used for the completion or printout thereof and further including in such license such rights of quality control and inspection as are reasonably necessary to prevent the trademarks included in such license from claims of invalidation. This license shall also inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns, and transferees of the Secured Party.
| 12 |
Section 6.2. Private Sales. Each Grantor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States, under the Securities Act, or under any applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. Each Grantor further agrees to do or cause to be done, to the extent that such Grantor may do so under applicable law, all such other reasonable acts and things as may be necessary to make such sales or resales of any portion or all of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees, or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators, or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Grantors’ expense.

Miscellaneous
Section 7.1. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

Section 7.2. Successors and Assigns.

Section 7.3. Amendment; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE AMENDED OR WAIVED ONLY BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING SIGNED BY THE PARTIES HERETO.

Section 7.7. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

Section 7.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 7.9. Waiver of Bond. In the event the Secured Party seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by judicial process, the Grantors hereby irrevocably waive any bonds and any surety or security relating thereto that may be required by applicable law as an incident to such possession, and waive any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any such suit or action.
Section 7.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 7.11. Termination. If all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the Secured Party shall, upon the written request of the Grantors, execute and deliver to the Grantors a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the release and termination of the security interests created by this Agreement, and shall duly assign and deliver to the Grantors (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Secured Party and has not previously been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the payment of any amount of the Obligations is rescinded, voided or must otherwise be refunded by the Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or otherwise for any reason whatsoever, then the security interests created by this Agreement will be automatically reinstated and become automatically effective and in full force and effect, all to the extent that and as though such payment so rescinded, voided or otherwise refunded had never been made and such release and termination of such security interest had never been given.
Section 7.12. Joint and Several Obligations of Grantors. Each of the Grantors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided under the Loan Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Grantors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Grantors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them. Each of the Grantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Grantor with respect to the payment and performance of all of the obligations arising under this Agreement, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all such obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Grantors without preferences or distinction among them. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of each of the Grantors hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any successor statute or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law
