(vi) If Borrower shall (a) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (b) admit in

writing its inability, or be generally unable, to pay its debts as such debts become due, (c) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (d) commence a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or (e) take any corporate action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or

(viii) If a material adverse change occurs in the business or financial condition of Borrower.

Thereupon, Lender may, at its option, declare the Note and all other amounts of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable together with interest accrued thereon, which shall bear interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Promissory Note from and after such date, and Lender shall have the right to pursue all legal rights and remedies allowed by law. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document is intended to affect any rights of Lender with respect to any Indebtedness which may now or hereafter be payable on demand. If the grace periods contained in any other Loan Document evidencing any of the loans that are the subject matter of this Loan Agreement allow longer periods of time as grace periods after default, the grace periods of time set forth in this Section shall be the grace periods of time that shall control.

Section 9.6 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

Section 9.7 Indemnification. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained in this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all liability, deficiency, damage, cost or expense, including, but not limited to legal fees, expenses and settlement costs resulting from (i) any misrepresentation, material omission, breach of warranty or representation, or the non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Borrower under or relating to this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) any allegation that the relationship of Lender and Borrower is anything other than that of a secured lender and a borrower; and any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, legal and accounting fees or other expenses incident to the foregoing indemnification by Borrower pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 9.8 Headings. The descriptive section headings herein have been inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the construction of any provisions hereof.

Section 9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

Section 9.10 Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative and concurrent and in addition to any rights and remedies which Lender may have under the laws of Florida or the laws of the United States, and the exercise of any one right or remedy by Lender against Borrower will not deprive Lender of any other right or remedy against Borrower.

Section 9.11 Severability. If any portion of any Loan Document is declared void by any court as illegal or against public policy the remainder of the Loan Document in question shall continue in full effect.

Section 9.12 Waiver. Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest as to all obligations under the Note.

Section 9.13 Waiver by Lender. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any right hereunder or under any Loan Document or with respect to the Indebtedness shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude the Lender from any other or further exercise of any other right or remedy. The Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) cure any Event of Default on account of Borrower in any reasonable manner without waiving the Event of Default so cured and without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default by Borrower, and all amounts and expenses incurred by Lender in doing so shall bear interest at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law. All rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement and under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws shall be deemed cumulative.

Section 9.14 Withholding and Other Tax Liabilities. Lender shall have the right to refuse to make any advances hereunder from time to time unless Borrower shall have given to Lender evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, that Borrower has properly deposited or paid, as required by law, all withholding taxes and all federal, state, city, county or other taxes due up to and including the date of the advance. Upon expiration or termination of the Note, Lender shall be entitled to continue to hold any and all of the collateral until Borrower has given to Lender evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that Borrower has properly deposited or paid, as required by law, all federal withholding taxes due up to and including the date of such expiration or termination. In the event that any lien, assessment or tax liability against Borrower shall arise in favor of any taxing authority and, in the case of a tax liability, not be classified as a Permitted Lien, whether or not notice thereof shall be filed or recorded as may be required by law, Lender shall have the right after five (5) business days’ notice to Borrower (but shall not be obligated, nor shall Lender hereby assume the duty) to pay any such lien, assessment or tax liability by virtue of which such charge shall have arisen. In order to pay any such lien, assessment or tax liability, Lender shall not be obliged to wait until said lien, assessment or tax liability is filed before taking such action as hereinabove set forth. Any sum or sums which Lender shall have paid for the discharge of such lien shall be added to Borrower’s Indebtedness and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the maximum rate allowed by law, upon demand, and Lender shall be subrogated to all rights of such taxing authority against Borrower.

Section 9.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IT FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. FURTHER, BORROWER HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF LENDER, NOR THE LENDER’S COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT LENDER

WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER’S EXECUTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Section 9.16 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon repayment in full of the Borrower’s Indebtedness governed by this Agreement or if later, such date as Borrower no longer has the right to make any borrowings pursuant to any revolving lines of credit or similar facilities established under this Agreement.
