Each of the Debtors hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. (ii) The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Debtors for any act or failure to act, except for its, his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct. (iii) Each of the Debtors also hereby authorizes the Lender, at any time and from time to time when there exists any uncured Event of Default, to execute, in connection with the sale of any Collateral, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Col lateral. 1 1 .

foregoing, the Debtors hereby expressly agree that in any such event the Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Debtors or any other person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange broker's board or at any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Debtors, which right or equity is hereby expressly released. The Debtors further agree, at the Lender's written request upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at the Premises. The Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of the Lender hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Lender may elect, the Debtors remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9­615(a)(3) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code (or any successor or substitute provision), need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Debtors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Debtors hereby waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except arising based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. The Debtors hereby agree that the Lender shall give at least twenty (20) days' notice (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed, postage prepaid, addressed to the Debtors at their respective addresses set forth in Section I 9 hereof) of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Debtors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Lender is entitled, the Debtors also being liable for the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency. (iii) Each of the Debtors also hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs of the Lender, including attorneys' fees, incurred with respect to the collection of any of the Obligations and the enforcement of any of the Lender's rights hereunder and any and all post-Judgement collection costs and expenses. (iv) Each of the Debtors hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral. 13. Limitation on the Lender's Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the safe custody thereof and any other duties imposed by applicable Law, the Lender shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. 14. Uniform Commercial Code. The Debtors and the Lender hereby covenant and agree that any and all references to the terms "Uniform Commercial Code" and/or "UCC" contained in the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement and/or in any other Loan Document shall mean and refer to the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted and enacted and as in effect from time to time, of the applicable [SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT]

State or States. To the extent that the definition of any category or type of collateral is modified by any amendment, modification and/or revision to the Uniform Commercial Code, such amended, modified and/or revised definition will apply to the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents automatically as of the effective date of such amendment, modification and/or revision. 1 5 . No Lien Termination Without Release. In recognition of the Lender's right to have its reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the Loan Facility, the Loan Agreement, and all of the other Loan Documents secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding the payment in full of all of the Obligations by the Debtors, the Debtors and the Lender hereby agree that the Lender will not be required to terminate any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements filed in its favor against the Debtors and relating to the Collateral unless and until the Debtors and any and all Persons which are secondarily liable on the Obligations has executed and delivered to the Lender a general release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender in its reasonable discretion, covering claims both known and unknown. EACH OF THE DEBTORS UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS PROVISION CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 9-513 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. 1 6 . Severability I ity. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is 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 hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 17. No Waiver of Rights; Cumulative Remedies. Nothing herein contained, and no act done or omitted by the Lender pursuant to the powers and rights granted it herein, shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Lender of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents but this Security Agreement is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by the Lender under the terms thereof. The right of the Lender to collect said indebtedness and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by the Lender either prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. The Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder except pursuant to a writing executed by the Lender and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Lender, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. 1 8. Successors and Assigns. This Security Agreement and all obligations of the Debtors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Debtors and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns. 19. Further Indemnification. Each of the Debtors hereby agrees to pay, and to save the Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay by the Debtors in paying, any and all excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement.
