Bank shall have the following rights and remedies at any time following

7.1 Bank, and any officer or agent of Bank, is hereby constituted
and appointed as true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower
with power upon Borrower's failure to do so within ten (10)
days following written request or demand by Bank:
7.1.1 To endorse the name of Borrower upon any instrument
of payment (including payments made under any policy
of insurance) that may come into possession of Bank
in full or in part payment of any Obligation;
7.1.2 To sign and endorse the name of Borrower upon any
invoice, freight or express xxxx, xxxx of lading,
storage or warehouse receipt, drafts against account
debtors or other obligors;
7.1.3 To notify the post office authorities to change the
address for delivery mail of Borrower to an address
designated by Bank and to receive, open and dispose
of all mail addressed to Borrower;
7.1.4 To sign the name of Borrower upon any Local, State or
Federal agency information release form including,
but not limited to, Tax Information Authorization
Form 8821 of the Internal Revenue Service.
7.1.5 To sell, assign, xxx for, collect or compromise
payment of all or any part of the Collateral in the
name of Borrower, or in its own name, or make any
other disposition of Collateral, or any part thereof,
which disposition may be for cash, credit or any
combination thereof, and Bank may purchase all or any
part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by
law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of
such purchase price, may setoff the amount of such
price against the Obligations;
7.1.6 Granting to Bank, as the attorney-in-fact of
Borrower, full power of substitution and full power
to do any and all things reasonably necessary to
exercise its rights and remedies as fully and
effectually as Borrower might or could do but for
this appointment, and hereby ratifying all that said
attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof. Neither Bank nor its agents
shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any
error of judgment or mistake of fact or law in its
capacity as such attorney-in-fact. This power of
attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable so long as any Obligations shall remain
outstanding; and
7.1.7 To appraise or reappraise any property, assets or
rights of Borrower, at Borrower's expense, in any
Federally regulated transaction as defined under
Title XI of the Financial Institution, Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 and such expense
(whether or not such appraiser is a salaried employee
of Bank) shall be part of the Obligations payable on
demand.
7.2 Bank shall have the right to setoff, without notice to
Borrower, any and all deposits or other sums at any time or
times credited by or due from Bank to Borrower, whether in a
special account or other account or represented by a
certificate of deposit (whether or not matured) which deposits
and other sums shall at all times constitute additional
security for the Obligations and may be setoff against all or
any part of the Obligations at any time.
7.3 Bank shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies
contained herein, and any Loan Document, all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code
in force in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as of the Date
of Agreement, and all rights and remedies available at law or
in equity, all of which rights and remedies shall be
cumulative, and nonexclusive, to the extent permitted by law.
7.4 Any notice required to be given by Bank of a sale or other
disposition of the Collateral or other intended action by Bank
made in accordance with the terms herein or any Loan Document
at least ten (10) days prior to such proposed action, shall
constitute fair and reasonable notice to Borrower of any such
action. In the event that any of the Collateral is used in
conjunction with any real estate, the sale of the Collateral
in conjunction with and as one parcel with any such real
estate of Borrower, shall be deemed to be a commercially
reasonable manner of sale. The net proceeds realized by Bank
upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction of
the expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling
or the like and reasonable attorneys' fees and any other
expenses incurred by Bank, shall be applied toward
satisfaction of the Obligations hereunder. Bank shall account
to Borrower for any surplus realized upon such sale or other
disposition and Borrower shall remain liable for any
deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or
equitable, shall not affect the Security Interest of Bank in
the Collateral until the Obligations hereunder or any judgment
therefor are fully paid.
7.5 If at any time Bank determines that any applicable law,
regulation, condition or directive, or the interpretation of
any thereof, relating to capital adequacy (including, but not
limited to, any request, guideline or policy, whether or not
having the force of law and including but not limited to any
regulation promulgated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System as now or from time to time hereafter
in effect) by any authority charged with the administration or
interpretation thereof, or any change in any of the foregoing,
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
Bank's capital as a consequence of Bank's obligations under
this Agreement to a level below that which Bank would have
achieved but for such law, regulation, condition, directive,
interpretation or change (taking into consideration Bank's
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by Bank to be material, then from time to time Borrower shall
pay to Bank on demand such additional amount(s) as will
compensate Bank for such reduction.
7.5.1 Bank will promptly notify Borrower in writing of any
event of which it has knowledge occurring after the
date hereof, which will entitle Bank to compensation
pursuant to Section 7.5. A certificate or notice from
Bank claiming right of compensation under Section 7.5
and setting forth the additional amount(s) to be paid
to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. In determining such amount, Bank may
use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
7.5.2 Borrower's failure to pay such additional amount(s) s
