| assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall 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 the whole or any part of such Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption the Debtor hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. The Lender shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Debtor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use such premises without charge for such time or times as the Lender deems necessary or advisable. The Debtor hereby agrees that ten (10) business days prior written notice by the Lender of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters.

In addition, the Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Lender’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto. |

The Lender shall have no obligation to the Debtor to maintain or preserve the rights of the Debtor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of the Lender. |
| |
| 11.3 The Lender may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Lender’s remedies with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. |

After deducting all of such expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale of the Obligations or Collateral will, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as the Lender may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Section 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, any excess will be |
returned to the Debtor, and the Debtor will remain liable for any deficiency in the payment of the Obligations.

| |
| 15.2 The Debtor shall, and shall cause its officers, personnel, and agents to, cooperate fully with the Lender and provide the Lender with all information, support, and assistance requested by the Lender to facilitate the foregoing, including full and complete access to Debtor’s properties, books, and records. |

16.Acceleration of Obligations. Upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default, in addition to the aforementioned remedies, the Lender may declare any and all secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable without further notice, demand, presentment, or protest, all of which are expressly waived by the Debtor.
