record, as its attorney in fact, any financing statements, any
carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a financing statement

attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of
Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise,
from time to time at Secured Party's discretion, to take any action
and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may reasonably
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including: (i) upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, to receive, indorse, and

and to give full discharge for the same and to execute and file

or appropriate for approval of, or be required by, any regulatory
authority located in any city, county, state or country where
Pledgor or any of the Company engage in business, in order to
transfer or to more effectively transfer any of the Pledged
Interests or otherwise enforce Secured Party's rights
hereunder.
11. Remedies
upon Default .
Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default under the Note and/or the
Guaranty “Event of Default”):
(a) Secured
Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on
default under the Code (irrespective of whether the Code applies to
the affected items of Collateral), and Secured Party may also
without notice (except as specified below) sell the Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any exchange, broker's board or at any of Secured Party's
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable,
irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of
the Collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral
at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding
and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or
any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use
and apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations as a credit on
account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such
sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and
Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights
of redemption, stay, or appraisal that it now has or may at any
time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted. Pledgor agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar
days notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or
the time after which a private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to
make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale
from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured
Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have
been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might
have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts
the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more
than one offeree.
(b) Pledgor
hereby agrees that any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of
banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions in the
city and state where Secured Party is located in disposing of
property similar to the Collateral shall be deemed to be
commercially reasonable.
(c) Pledgor
hereby acknowledges that the sale by Secured Party of
