		3.	Lender’s
                                            Rights and Remedies.



 


(a)
Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), the Lender may exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it under applicable
law, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under applicable law, including, but not limited to, the UCC in
effect at the time, and the Lender may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in
one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at Lender’s principal office or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem
commercially reasonable. The Lender may require the Company to assemble the Collateral and deliver it to a place designated by the
Lender. The Lender may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at public or private sale for cash or credit;
provided, however, that the Company shall be credited with proceeds of such sale only when the proceeds are actually received by the
Lender. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to the
Company at the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of any notice of sale having been given.
The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor and such
sale, without further notice, may be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.


 


(b)
Any cash held by the Lender as Collateral and all cash proceeds by Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the sole and arbitrary discretion of the Lender, shall be held by the
Lender as Collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Lender against, all or any part
of the expenses and costs to exercise by the Lender of its rights hereunder, and to the Obligations then remaining unpaid as the
Lender shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Lender and remaining after payment in full of the
Obligations shall be paid over to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.


 


(c)
All provisions contained herein pertaining to Lender’s remedies shall be and are severable and cumulative.


 


4.          Authority
of the Lender. Lender shall have and be entitled to exercise all such powers hereunder as are specifically delegated to Lender by
the terms hereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto. Lender may execute any of Lender’s duties hereunder by or
through agents or employees and shall be entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning
all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder. Upon the occurrence of an event hereunder which the Lender has determined, in good faith,
will result in irreparable damage to the Company or its operations or Lender’s security interest if not promptly cured, and if,
in the reasonable judgment of the Lender the Company is not proceeding to cure the event in an expeditious manner which will avoid such
damage, the Lender shall be entitled upon prior notice hereunder to the Company to take such actions and incur such expenses on behalf
of the Company as shall be necessary to avoid such damage.


 


5.           Further
Assurances. The Company shall do, make, execute, and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds, assignments, assurances
and instruments as the Lender or its counsel may reasonably require to more completely vest in, perfect and assure to the Lender its
rights hereunder or in any of the Collateral.


 




    	 



     


    

 


6.          Amendments.
This Agreement may be amended, or any provision of this Agreement may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will
be binding on the Company only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by the Company, and provided that any such
amendment or waiver will be binding upon Lender only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by Lender. The waiver
by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver or as a waiver
of any other breach.


 


7.           Expenses.
The Company will, upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses and the expenses of any experts and agents, which Lender may incur in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.


 


8.           Notices.
