Secured Party shall give Debtor such notice of any private or public sale or disposition as may be required by the Uniform Commercial Code. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, notice shall be deemed reasonable if given at. least ten (10) days before the sale or disposition. Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral, and Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties, including warranties of title. 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 Obligations, and if the purchaser then fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

If after application of the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral, there is any balance owing on the Obligations, then Debtor remains liable for that deficiency.

 

Secured Party may comply with any applicable federal, state or local laws in connection with a sale or disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of such sale or disposition. Secured Party shall have no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them, Secured Party may release, continue, substitute, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other person to secure any of the Obligations, and Secured Party may release or enter into a compromise with any other person liable for any of the Obligations, all without affecting Secured Party’s rights and remedies against Debtor. Secured Party shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Debtor or against or in payment of the Obligations or any other obligation owed to Secured Party by Debtor or require Secured Party to defend against or pursue any third person or any other collateral for any of the Obligations, and Debtor waives any defenses based upon any claim that Secured Party did not perfect or continue the Security Interest, impaired the Collateral, or did not obtain a commercially reasonable amount for the Collateral at a sale or disposition.

All Secured Party’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately, successively or simultaneously. No waiver, delay or failure by Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon default shall (i) impair any right or remedy of Scoured Party, (ii) waive any default, or (iii) affect any prior or subsequent default of the same or a different nature. Election by Secured Party to pursue any right or remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other right or remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Debtor under this Security Agreement, after Debtor’s failure to perform, shall not afect Secured Party’s right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

 

Upon default, Debtor will pay Secured Party for all reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for disposition, processing, and disposing of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred .by Secured Party. In addition, if Secured Party takes possession of the Collateral, regardless of whether a default has occurred, the reasonable expenses, including the cost of insurance and payment of taxes or other charges, incurred by Secured Party in the custody, maintenance, preservation, use, or operation of the Collateral are chargeable to Debtor and are secured by the Collateral.
