The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Subordinated Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Subordinated Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Subordinated Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Subordinated Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.
