remedies, powers and privileges to which a secured party is entitled under the
laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges in respect of this Agreement or the Collateral may be asserted,

of the sale, lease or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral at
any private sale pursuant to Section 5.01 conducted in a commercially reasonable

by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold

a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations,
even if the Lenders accept the first offer received and do not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree.

provided in this Agreement, the proceeds of, or other realization upon, all or
any part of the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Section

remedies, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lenders,
the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel and all other expenses incurred
and advances made by the Lenders in that connection;
Next, to the payment in full of the remaining Secured Obligations
equally and ratably in accordance with their respective amounts then due and
owing or as the Lenders holding the same may otherwise agree; and
Finally, subject to the rights of the other holder of any Lien in
the relevant Collateral, to the payment to the Obligor or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct of any surplus then remaining.
As used in this Section 5, "proceeds" of Collateral shall mean cash,
securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind
of, Collateral, including any property received under any bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding as to the Obligor or any issuer of,
