amendments or continuations thereof, describing the Collateral, and from time to
time at the request of Secured Party, will execute such other documents, and

of any court or governmental authority, or any agreement or instrument to which
Debtor is a party or by which Debtor or its property may be bound or affected,

demand to any Debtor to exercise the rights and remedies upon default that are

otherwise available to Secured Party under this Security Agreement, the Note, or
otherwise available to secured creditors at law and/or in equity under
applicable law, including without limitation:
(i) Enforce any Debtor’s rights against account debtors and notify any and all

about the premises as fully and effectually as any Debtor might or could do but
for this appointment, and hereby ratifying all that said attorney-in-fact shall

of the Collateral, or any part thereof, after deduction of the expenses of
retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like, and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Secured Party, shall, be applied
to payment of (or held as a reserve against) the Liabilities, whether or not
then due, and in such order of application as Secured Party may from time to
time elect.
