(i) demand, collect, and receipt for any amounts relating thereto, as the Secured Party may determine;
(ii) commence and prosecute any actions in any court for the purposes of collecting any such Collateral and enforcing any other rights in respect thereof;
(iii) defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Secured Party may deem appropriate;
(iv) endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, relating or giving rise to the Collateral on behalf of and in the name of the Grantor; and
(vi) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any such Collateral or services which has given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond the exercise of any reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession. The Secured Party may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at a public or private sale, with or without having the Collateral at the place of sale, and upon such terms and in such manner as the Secured Party may determine, and the Secured Party may purchase any Collateral at any such public sale and, to the extent permitted by law, any private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline rapidly in value or is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party shall send to the Grantor prior written notice (which, if given not less than ten (10) days prior to any sale, shall be deemed to be reasonable) of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition thereof is to be made. The Grantor agrees that, upon any such sale, the Collateral shall be held by the purchaser free from all claims or rights of any kind and nature, including any equity of redemption or similar rights, and all such equity of redemption and similar rights are, to the extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived and released by the Grantor. In the event any consent, approval or authorization of any governmental agency is necessary to effectuate any such sale, the Grantor shall execute all applications or other instruments as may be required.
(c) The Secured Party shall be entitled to retain and to apply the proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, first, to its reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, protecting and maintaining, and preparing for disposition and disposing of, the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred by it in connection therewith; and second, to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the Note. Any surplus remaining after such application shall be paid to the Grantor or to whoever may be legally entitled thereto, provided that in no event shall the Grantor be credited with any part of the proceeds of the disposition of the Collateral until such proceeds shall has been received in cash by the Secured Party. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
(d) The Secured Party shall have all other rights and remedies as provided in the Note.
Section 8. Waivers.

The Grantor assents to any substitution, exchange or release of Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromise or adjustment of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Secured Party may deem advisable, pursuant to the exercise of its rights hereunder. The Secured Party may exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral without resorting, or regard, to other collateral or sources of reimbursement. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights with respect to the Note or the Collateral unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not bar or waive the exercise of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party in the Note or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and may be exercised separately or concurrently.
