(c) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder or from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any portion of the Collateral shall be applied: (i) first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Agent in enforcing the Secured Party’ rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral; (ii) second, to retire all senior Indebtedness secured by the Prior Lien and Senior Collateral; and (iii) then , to satisfaction of the Obligations pro rata among the Secured Parties (based on then-outstanding principal amounts of the Notes at the time of any such determination), and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party shall pay to the Company and Pledgor any surplus proceeds.


 


(d) Liability for Deficiency. Upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party are legally entitled, Debtor will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate set forth in the Notes or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor and Debtor waive all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


        5. Duty To Hold In Trust. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Company and Pledgor shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income, dividend, interest or other sums subject to the Security Interests, whether payable pursuant to the Notes or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(c) above and if any amounts are remaining  to the Secured Parties, pro rata in proportion to their respective then-currently outstanding principal amount of Note for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations.

6. Expenses Incurred by Secured Party.  If either the Company or Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement, and Secured Party performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance, with such agreement or covenant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the reasonable expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection with such performance or compliance will be payable by the Company or Pledgor to the Secured Parties on demand and will constitute Obligations secured by this Agreement.


 


7. Remedies.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from time to time (the “Code”).  Without limiting the foregoing, in such circumstances, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon the Company or Pledgor or any other person (all of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), Secured Party may collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any or all of the Collateral and/or may sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver any or all of the Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may deem advisable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  Secured Party will have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Company or Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c), Secured Party will apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable expenses incurred therein or in connection with the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party under this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to the Company or Pledgor, as applicable.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and Pledgor waives all claims, damage and demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out of the exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral is required by law, such notice will be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.  Each of the Company and Pledgor will remain liable for any deficiency of the Company or Pledgor if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.


 


8. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral.  The sole duty of Secured Party with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral, under the appropriate Code section or otherwise, will be to deal with it in the same manner as Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.  Neither Secured Party nor any of its employees, affiliates or agents will be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Company or Pledgor or otherwise.


 


9. Powers Coupled with an Interest.  All authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement with respect the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.


 


10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  Secured Party will not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof) of delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default under the Note or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Secured Party would otherwise have on any subsequent occasion.  The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
