9.Income from and Interest on Collateral.

In the event of any Event of Default, Debtor will not demand or receive any income from or interest on the Collateral and if Debtor receives any such income or interest without any demand by it, Debtor will pay the same promptly to Secured Party.

10.Increases, Profits, Payments or Distributions.

Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred as hereinafter provided, Debtor authorizes Secured Party: (a) to receive any increase in or profits on the Collateral and to hold the same as part of the Collateral; and (b) to receive any payment or distribution upon redemption, or upon dissolution and liquidation of the issuer, of any Collateral; to surrender such Collateral or any part thereof in exchange therefor; and to hold the net cash receipts from any such payment or distribution as part of the Collateral

11.Purchase Money Security Interests.

To the extent Debtor uses the Obligations to purchase Collateral, Debtor’s repayment of the Obligations shall apply on a “first-in-first-out” basis so that the portion of the Obligations used to purchase a particular item of Collateral shall be paid in the chronological order Debtor purchased the Collateral.

(ii)
	
Take possession of any Collateral if not already in its possession without demand and without legal process.

If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by the Purchaser received by Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the Purchaser.

Secured Party shall take only such actions with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be directed by the Required Holders.

(b)Defaults.  Secured Party shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder unless Secured Party has received a written notice from a Holder or Debtor, referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”  If Secured Party receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall give prompt notice thereof to all Holders.  Secured Party shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Holders.  Notwithstanding anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the exercise of any rights and/or remedies set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made only by Secured Party and only at the written direction, or with the written consent, of the Required Holders.

(c)Resignation or Removal of Secured Party.  Secured Party may resign at any time by giving ninety (90) days prior written notice thereof to Debtor and the Holders, and Secured Party may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Holders upon ninety (90) days prior written notice thereof to Debtor and Secured Party.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Secured Party.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as “Secured Party” hereunder by a successor Secured Party, such successor Secured Party shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Secured Party, and the retiring Secured Party shall be discharged from the duties and obligations thereafter arising hereunder.  If no successor Secured Party is appointed by the Required Holders within ninety (90) days after written notice of Secured Party’s resignation or removal, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by Secured Party on behalf of the Holders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Secured Party shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Secured Party is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations to be made by, to or through Secured Party shall instead be made by or to each Holder directly, until such time as the Required Holders appoint a successor Secured Party as provided herein.
