select. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Secured Party
and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be
paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus.

Party may incur in connection with (i) the custody (and protection during any
period of custody) of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the
Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured
Party hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, or (iii) the failure by the Grantor

disbursements of any kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements and other reasonable costs and expenses of investigation or
