proper in connection with any sale, assignment, or transfer of all or any part
of the Shares. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and
shall be a continuing one and irrevocable so long as any portion of the
Obligations remains unpaid in whole or in part. The Lender may purchase all or
any part of the Shares at public sale or, if permitted by law, private sale,
subject to appropriate UCC rules, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase
price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.
