Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and in addition to any other remedies Secured Party may have under the terms of the Note, Secured Party (i) may transfer a pro rata portion of the Collateral into Secured Party’s name or the name of Secured Party’s nominee such that the pro rata portion of the Collateral to be transferred shall be calculated using the ratio of the outstanding principal on the Note as of Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) and the original principal amount of the Note, such that, to the extent that Borrower has repaid one-quarter of the original principal amount of the Note, Secured Party may transfer three-quarters of the Collateral into Secured Party’s name or the name of Secured Party’s nominee; (ii) shall have the sole and exclusive right to vote the Collateral (to the extent transferred into Secured Party’s name or the name of Secured Party’s nominee) and to give all consents, proxies, waivers and ratifications in respect thereto; and (iii) shall be entitled to receive direct from the Collateral Company(s) all dividends and other distributions made upon or in respect of the Collateral (to the extent transferred into Secured Party’s name or the name of Secured Party’s nominee) and, at the option of Secured Party, may be applied by Secured Party to reduce the Obligations, or may be held by Secured Party as additional Collateral hereunder.
— 3 —
(b) Sale of Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and in addition to any other remedies Secured Party may have under the terms of the Note, Secured Party may sell any or all of the Collateral to satisfy a default and, as a result, any party hereto may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral and may hold the same thereafter as its own right, free of any claim of Borrower. In the event that proceeds of such sale are insufficient to pay the unpaid balance of the Obligations of Borrower, Borrower shall have no further obligation to Secured Party. If the Collateral is sold for an amount in excess of the amount owed to Secured Party, then such excess, reduced by the amount of reasonable costs of sale, shall be paid to Borrower.

(d) Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Secured Party under this Agreement, the Note and all other agreements contemplated hereby and thereby shall be cumulative. Secured Party shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law or in equity. No exercise by Secured Party of any one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Secured Party of any default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Secured Party in the exercise of rights or remedies shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence thereof or thereto.
(e) Attorney-in-Fact. In addition to and without limiting any powers created herein, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, in taking any action and executing any instruments, and with full power and authority to do and perform every act necessary, requisite or proper to be done that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
9. Release and Substitution of Collateral. Borrower will have the right to request from time to time the release of specific Collateral from the security interest created by this Agreement, so long as a the time of such request and of such release (a) it is not in default of its obligations under this Agreement or the Note and (b) immediately following any such release of Collateral it is in compliance with the Loan to Value Ratio and the Debt Coverage Ratio set out in the Note; in which case Secured Party will promptly release such specific Collateral, executing such instruments and other documents as Borrower may reasonably request in order to terminate Secured Party’s security interest in such specific Collateral and otherwise clear Borrower’s title to such specific Collateral. Borrower will also have the right to designate from time to time additional or substitute assets to serve as collateral under this Agreement, in which case, upon the execution and delivery to Secured Party of such additional instruments and other documents as Secured Party may reasonably request in order to create and perfect its security interest in such assets, such assets will become “Collateral” for purposes of this Agreement. To the extent that a valuation is required in connection with any such release or addition of Collateral, such valuation will be performed by a nationally recognized valuation firm selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Secured Party, any such valuation to be at the sole expense of Borrower.
