Financing Statements. Each Grantor authorizes the Bank to file Financing Statements or amendments thereto with respect to any of the Collateral in any location deemed necessary or appropriate by the Bank; each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Bank for the expense of any such filing in any location deemed necessary or appropriate by the Bank. To the extent lawful, each Grantor hereby appoints the Bank as its attorney-in-fact (without requiring the Bank to act as such) (which appointment constitutes a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable as long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding) to execute any financing statement in the name of such Grantor, and to perform all other acts that the Bank deems appropriate to perfect and continue its security interest in, and to protect and preserve, the Collateral.

Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.
