			creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California, including but not limited to selling the Collateral at public or  private  sale.  Lender  shall  give Borrower  not less than ten (10) days' notice of any such public sale or of the date after which private sale may  be held. Borrower agrees that ten (10) days' notice shall be reasonable notice. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold as an entirety or in separate parts, as Lender may determine. Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the  same  to  be  adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed  for the sale,  and such sale may be made at any time or place to which  the same may be adjourned.   In case of any sale   of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Lender until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Lender  shall  not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Lender may, however, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred  upon it, proceed  by a suit or suits at law or in equity to collect all amounts due hereunder or to foreclose the pledge and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, or both. Borrower hereby waives any claims it may have against Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold  at a private  sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, or  was  less  than  the  aggregate amount of the  indebtedness  outstanding  hereunder.  Borrower  and  Lender acknowledge that pursuant to the UCC, any disposition of the Collateral will be done in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with, and subject to the UCC.




			
	
			
				 (v)
			Direct Action.  Proceed against Borrower on the Secured Promissory Note.

			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 (viii)
			Other Acceleration.  Declare immediately due and payable any one or more of all other debts or obligations of Borrower to Lender.  




		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 (ix)

			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 (x)
			 Receiver.  Obtain the appointment of a receiver of the business and assets of Borrower.




		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Waivers.   Subject to applicable law, Borrower waives any right to require Lender to (i) proceed against any Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies against the Collateral in any particular order, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in its power.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			Protection of Lien.  Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the Lien and priority    of , or the security intended to be afforded by, any Mortgage included in the Collateral, including, without limitation, payment

			of  delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums, to the extent permitted  by such Mortgage.  All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement thereof, shall become part of the principal balance outstanding under the Secured Promissory Note and shall accrue interest at the rate or rates specified in the Secured Promissory Note.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			 No Waivers.  No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power  or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity  preclude any other or further  exercise thereof  or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies  herein  provided  are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.




		
			﻿
		

		
			Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds  of any  sale or  other  enforcement of Lender's security interest in all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender:
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			First, to the payment of late charges and any other amounts due (other than principal and interest) under the Secured Promissory Note or this Agreement;
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Second, to the payment of interest accrued and unpaid on the Secured Promissory Note;
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Third, to the payment of the outstanding' principal balance of the Secured Promissory Note; and
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Fourth, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to Lender's agents and counsel, and  all expenses,  liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Lender in connection therewith;
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Finally, to the payment to Borrower or to its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			If the proceeds of any such sale are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such sale, as aforesaid, and the payment in full of the Secured Promissory Note and all other amounts  due hereunder,  Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			7.4 Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Lender is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower, effective from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of executing any instruments and performing other acts which Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall have the right and power to give notices of its security interest in the Collateral to any Person, in the name of the holder of the Pledged Mortgages, or to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Borrower representing any payment on account of the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of, any of the Pledged Mortgages and to give full discharge for the same.
