The Secured Party’s prior recourse to any Collateral shall not constitute a condition of any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Obligations. No act, omission or delay by the Secured Party shall constitute a waiver of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by the Secured Party of any Default or right or remedy which it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other Default, right or remedy or of the same Default, right or remedy on a future occasion.

The Company hereby waives personal service of any process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to the Company at any address of the Company set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Company so served shall appear or answer to such process within 30 days after the mailing thereof. Should the Company so served fail to appear or answer within said 30-day period, the Company shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by the Secured Party against the Company for the amount or such other relief as may be demanded in any process so served. In the alternative, in its discretion the Secured Party may effect service upon the Company in any other form or manner permitted by law. All terms herein shall have the meanings as defined in the UCC, unless the context otherwise requires.

The execution and delivery of this Security Agreement has been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. This Security Agreement and all Obligations shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or assigns of the Company and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Secured Party, its successors, endorses and assigns. This Security Agreement and the Obligations shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts executed and to be performed in such State. If any term of this Security Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby. In the event the Secured Party shall commence legal proceedings against Company to enforce the terms hereof, or to declare rights hereunder, as the result of a breach of any covenant or condition of this Agreement, the Secured Party shall be entitled to recover from the Company its costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as may be fixed by the court.
