THIS COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT dated September 11, 2001, is made and
executed between EPENZIO, INC. ("Grantor") and ZIONS FIRST NATIONAL BANK
("Lender").
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. For valuable consideration, Grantor grants to Lender
a security interest in the Collateral to secure the Indebtedness and agrees that
Xxxxxx shall have the rights stated in this Agreement with respect to the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights which Lender may have by law.
COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION. The word "Collateral" as used in this Agreement means
the following described property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located, in which
Grantor is giving to Lender a security interest for the payment of the
Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations under the Note and this
Agreement:
All Inventory, Chattel Paper, Accounts and General Intangibles
In addition, the word "Collateral" also includes all the following, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and
wherever located:
(A) All accessions, attachments, accessories, tools, parts, supplies,
replacements and additions to any of the collateral described herein,
whether added now or later .
(B) All products and produce of any of the property described in this
Collateral section.
(C) All accounts, general intangibles, instruments, rents, monies,
payments, and all other rights, arising out of a sale, lease, or other
disposition of any of the property described in this Collateral section.
(D) All proceeds (including insurance proceeds) from the sale, destruction,
loss, or other disposition of any of the property described in this
Collateral section, and sums due from a third party who has damaged or
destroyed the Collateral or from that party's insurer, whether due to
judgment, settlement or other process.
(E) All records and data relating to any of the property described in this
Collateral section, whether in the form of a writing, photograph,
microfilm, microfiche, or electronic media, together with all of Grantor's
right, title, and interest in and to all computer software required to
utilize, create, maintain, and process any such records or data on
electronic media.
Despite any other provision of this Agreement, Lender is not granted, and will
not have, a nonpurchase money security interest in household goods, to the
extent such a security interest would be prohibited by applicable law. In
addition, if because of the type of any Property, Lender is required to give a
notice of the right to cancel under Truth in Lending for the Indebtedness, then
Lender will not have a security interest in such Collateral unless and until
such a notice is given.
CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. In addition to the Note, this Agreement secures all
obligations, debts and liabilities, plus interest thereon, of Grantor to Lender,
or anyone or more of them, as well as all claims by Lender against Grantor or
anyone or more of them, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether
related or unrelated to the purpose of the Note, whether voluntary or otherwise,
whether due or not due, direct or indirect, determined or undetermined, absolute
or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated whether Grantor may be liable
individually or jointly with others, whether obligated as guarantor, surety,
accommodation party or otherwise, and whether recovery upon such amounts may be
or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether the
obligation to repay such amounts may be or hereafter may become otherwise
unenforceable.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Grantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Grantor holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future.
However, this does not include any IRA or Xxxxx accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Xxxxxx, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.
XXXXXXX'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. With
respect to the Collateral, Grantor represents and promises to Lender that:
Perfection of Security Interest. Xxxxxxx agrees to execute financing
statements and to take whatever other actions are requested by Xxxxxx to
perfect and continue Xxxxxx's security interest in the Collateral. Upon
request of Xxxxxx, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the
documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will note
Xxxxxx's interest upon any and all chattel paper if not delivered to Lender
for possession by Xxxxxx. This is a continuing Security Agreement and will
continue in effect even though all or any part of the Indebtedness is paid
in full and even though for a period of time Grantor may not be indebted to
Lender .
Notices to Lender. Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing at
Xxxxxx's address shown above (or such other addresses as Lender may
designate from time to time) prior to any (1) change in Grantor's name; (2)
change in Grantor's assumed business name(s); (3) change in the management
of the Corporation Grantor; (4) change in the authorized signer(s); (5)
change in Grantor's principal office address; (6) change in Grantor's state
of organization; (7) conversion of Grantor to a new or different type of
business entity; or (8) change in any other aspect of Grantor that directly
or indirectly relates to any agreements between Grantor and Lender. No
change in Grantor's name or state of organization will take effect until
after Xxxxxx has received notice
No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate
any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a party, and
its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do not prohibit any
term or condition of this Agreement.
Enforceability of Collateral. To the extent the Collateral consists of
accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, as defined by the Uniform
Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance with its
terms, is genuine, and fully complies with all applicable laws and
regulations concerning form, content and manner of preparation and
execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have
authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear
to be on the Collateral. At the time any Account becomes subject to a
security interest in favor of Xxxxxx, the Account shall be a good and valid
account representing an undisputed, bona
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 9001 {Continued} Page 2
fide indebtedness incurred by the account debtor, for merchandise held
subject to delivery instructions or previously shipped or delivered
pursuant to a contract of sale, or for services previously performed by
Grantor with or for the account debtor. So long as this Agreement remains
in effect, Grantor shall not, without Xxxxxx's prior written consent,
compromise, settle, adjust, or extend payment under or with regard to any
such Accounts. There shall be no setoffs or counterclaims against any of
the Collateral, and no agreement shall have been made under which any
deductions or discounts may be claimed concerning the Collateral except
those disclosed to Lender in writing.
Location of the Collateral. Except in the ordinary course of Xxxxxxx's
business, Xxxxxxx agrees to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the
Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts or general
intangibles, the records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address
shown above or at such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Upon
Lender's request, Grantor will deliver to Lender in form satisfactory to
Lender a schedule of real properties and Collateral locations relating to
Grantor's operations, including without limitation the following: (1) all
real property Grantor owns or is purchasing; (2) all real property Grantor
is renting or leasing; (3) all storage facilities Grantor owns, rents,
leases, or uses; and (4) all other properties where Collateral is or may be
located.
Removal of the Collateral. Except in the ordinary course of Xxxxxxx's
business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not remove the
Collateral from its existing location without Lender's prior written
consent. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or other
titled property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which would
require application for certificates of title for the vehicles outside the
State of Utah, without Xxxxxx's prior written consent. Grantor shall,
whenever requested, advise Lender of the exact location of the Collateral.
Transactions Involving Collateral. Except for inventory sold or accounts
collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, or as otherwise
provided for in this Agreement, Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral. While Grantor is not in
default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell inventory, but only in the
ordinary course of its business and only to buyers who qualify as a buyer
in the ordinary course of business. A sale in the ordinary course of
Xxxxxxx's business does not include a transfer in partial or total
satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not pledge,
mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any
lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security
interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written consent
of Lender. This includes security interests even if junior in right to the
security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless waived by Xxxxxx,
all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever reason)
shall be held in trust for Lender and shall not be commingled with any
other funds; provided however, this requirement shall not constitute
consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor
shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender .
Title. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that Grantor holds good
and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing statement
covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than
those which reflect the security interest created by this Agreement or to
which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor shall defend Xxxxxx's
rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other
persons.
Repairs and Maintenance. Grantor agrees to keep and maintain, and to cause
others to keep and maintain, the Collateral in good order , repair and
condition at all times while this Agreement remains in effect. Xxxxxxx
further agrees to pay when due all claims for work done on, or services
rendered or material furnished in connection with the Collateral so that no
lien or encumbrance may ever attach to or be filed against the Collateral.
Inspection of Collateral. Lender and Xxxxxx's designated representatives
and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and
inspect the Collateral wherever located.
Taxes, Assessments and Liens. Grantor will pay when due all taxes,
assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this
Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness,
or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such
payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith
conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and
so long as Xxxxxx's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in
Xxxxxx's sole opinion. If the Collateral is subjected to a lien which is
not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with Lender
cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to
Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the discharge of the lien plus
any interest, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees or other charges that could
accrue as a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any contest
Grantor shall defend itself and Xxxxxx and shall satisfy any final adverse
judgment before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall name
Xxxxxx as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the
contest proceedings. Xxxxxxx further agrees to furnish Lender with evidence
that such taxes, assessments, and governmental and other charges have been
paid in full and in a timely manner. Grantor may withhold any such payment
or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an
appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as
Xxxxxx's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized.
Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Grantor shall comply promptly
with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership,
production, disposition, or use of the Collateral. Grantor may contest in
good faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance
during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Xxxxxx's
interest in the Collateral, in Xxxxxx's opinion, is not jeopardized.
Hazardous Substances. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral
never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien
on the Collateral, used in violation of any Environmental Laws or for the
generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal,
release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance. The
representations and warranties contained herein are, based on Grantor's due
diligence in investigating the Collateral for Hazardous Substances. Grantor
hereby ( 1) releases and waives any future claims against Xxxxxx for
indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup
or other costs under any Environmental Laws, and (2) agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims and losses resulting
from a breach of this provision of this Agreement. This obligation to
indemnify shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the
satisfaction of this Agreement.
Maintenance of Casualty Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain all
risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability
coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with
respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably
acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably
acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Xxxxxx, will deliver to
Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form
satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be
cancelled or diminished without at least ten ( 10) days' prior written
notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's
liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance policy also
shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender
will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor
or any other person. In connection with all policies covering assets in
which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide
Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require.
If Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as
required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to)
obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if Lender so
chooses, "single interest insurance," which will cover only Xxxxxx's
interest in the Collateral.
Application of Insurance Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of
any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 9001 (Continued) Page 3
proceeds thereon, shall be held by Xxxxxx as part of the Collateral. If
Lender consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed
Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, payor
reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or
restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the
Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay
all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds
which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and
which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the
Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
Insurance Reserves. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created
by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to be
sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due
date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If
fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are
insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The
reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall
constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by
payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Xxxxxx is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance
premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the payment
of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.
Insurance Reports. Grantor, upon request of Xxxxxx, shall furnish to Lender
reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as
Lender may reasonably request including the following: (1) the name of the
insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the
property insured; (5) the then current value on the basis of which
insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value; and
(6) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor shall upon
request by Lender (however not more often than annually) have an
independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, the
cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
XXXXXXX'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except
as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have
possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the
Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession
and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the
Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in
such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Xxxxxx, Grantor may collect any of
the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of
Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to
notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to
the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral,
whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if
Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender,
in Xxxxxx's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but
failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties,
nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the
Indebtedness.
XXXXXX'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Xxxxxx's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part
of the Indebtedness and, at Xxxxxx's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (8)
be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with
any installment payments to become due during either ( 1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Xxxxxx may be
entitled upon Default.
DEFAULT .Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:
Payment Default. Grantor fails to make any payment when due under the
Indebtedness.
Other Defaults. Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of
the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation,
covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and
Grantor.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Grantor or any Grantor default
under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person
that may materially affect any of Grantor's property or Grantor's or any
Grantor's ability to repay the Indebtedness or perform their respective
obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Grantor or on Grantor's behalf under this Agreement
or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect,
either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading
at any time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral
document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any
time and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Xxxxxxx's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor .
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any
governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This
includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's accounts, including deposit
accounts, with Xxxxxx. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or
reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Xxxxxx written notice of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount
determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve
or bond for the dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
to guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the
Indebtedness or guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or
becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability
under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
Loan No: 9001 (Continued) Page 4
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
condition, or Xxxxxx believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Indebtedness is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable
and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the same
provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may
be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Grantor, after
receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1)
cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires
more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems
in Xxxxxx's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and
thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps
sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the Utah Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise anyone or more of the following rights and
remedies:
Accelerate Indebtedness. Xxxxxx may declare the entire Indebtedness,
including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay,
immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Grantor.
Assemble Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or
any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and
other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be
designated by Lender. Xxxxxx also shall have full power to enter upon the
property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the
Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time
of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided
that Xxxxxx makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after
repossession.
Sell the Collateral. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer,
or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Xxxxxx's own
name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction
or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in
value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will
give Grantor, and other persons as required by law, reasonable notice of
the time and place of any public sale, or the time after which any private
sale or any other disposition of the Collateral is to be made. However, no
notice need be provided to any person who, after Event of Default occurs,
enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to
notification of sale. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if
such notice is given at least ten ( 10) days before the time of the sale or
disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral,
including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring,
preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the
Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with
interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until repaid.
Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed
to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to
protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding
foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Collateral and apply
the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the
indebtedness. Grantor hereby waives any requirement that the receiver be
impartial and disinterested as to all of the parties and agrees that
employment by Xxxxxx shall not disqualify a person from serving as a
receiver.
Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts. Lender, either itself or through a
receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
Collateral. Lender may at any time in Xxxxxx's discretion transfer any
Collateral into Xxxxxx's own name or that of Xxxxxx's nominee and receive
the payments, rents, income, and revenues there from and hold the same as
security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in
such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral
consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments,
chattel paper, chooses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand,
collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or
realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not
Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. I or these purposes, Lender may, on
behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail
addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments are to
be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of
title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of
any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Xxxxxx may notify account debtors
and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.
Obtain Deficiency. If Xxxxxx chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral,
Lender may obtain a judgment against Grantor for any deficiency remaining
on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received
from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Grantor shall
be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this
subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.
Other Rights and Remedies. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of
a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as
may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may
exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law,
in equity, or otherwise.
Election of Remedies. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of
Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, the
Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Xxxxxx to pursue any
remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to
make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor
under this Agreement, after Xxxxxxx's failure to perform, shall not affect
Xxxxxx's right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.

the authority to the extent practicable to take any action to require the
arbitration proceeding to be completed and the arbitrator(s), award issued
within 150 days of the filing of the Dispute with the Administrator. The
arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to impose sanctions on any party
that fails to comply with time periods imposed by the Administrator or the
arbitrator(s), including the sanction of summarily dismissing any Dispute
or defense with prejudice. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to
resolve any Dispute regarding the terms of this agreement, this arbitration
clause, or Related Agreements, including any claim or controversy regarding
the arbitrability of any Dispute. All limitations periods applicable to any
Dispute or defense, whether by statute or agreement, shall apply to any
arbitration proceeding hereunder and the arbitrator(s) shall have the
authority to decide whether any Dispute or defense is barred by a
limitations period and, if so, to summarily enter an award dismissing any
Dispute or defense on that basis. The doctrines of compulsory counterclaim,
res judicata, and collateral estoppel shall apply to any arbitration
proceeding hereunder so that a party must state as a counterclaim in the
arbitration proceeding any claim or controversy which arises out of the
transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the Dispute. The
arbitrator(s) may in the arbitrator(s)' discretion and at the request of
any party: (1) consolidate in a single arbitration proceeding any other
claim arising out of the same transaction involving another party to that
transaction that is bound by an arbitration clause with Xxxxxx, such as
borrowers, guarantors, sureties, and owners of collateral; and (2)
consolidate or administer multiple arbitration claims or controversies as a
class action in accordance with Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.
(c) The arbitrator(s) shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the
Administrator from panels maintained by the Administrator. A single
arbitrator shall have expertise in the subject matter of the Dispute. Where
three arbitrators conduct an arbitration proceeding, the Dispute shall be
decided by a majority vote of the three arbitrators, at least one of whom
must have expertise in the subject matter of the Dispute and at least one
of whom must be a practicing attorney. The arbitrator(s) shall award to the
prevailing party recovery of all costs and fees (including attorneys' fees
and costs, arbitration administration fees and costs, and arbitrator(s)'
fees). The arbitrator(s), either during the pendency of the arbitration
proceeding or as part of the arbitration award, also may grant provisional
or ancillary remedies including but not limited to an award of injunctive
relief, foreclosure, sequestration, attachment, replevin, garnishment, or
the appointment of a receiver.
(d) Judgement upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction, subject to the following limitation: the arbitration award is
binding upon the parties only if the amount does not exceed Four Million
Dollars ($4,000,000.00); if the award exceeds that limit, either party may
demand the right to a court trial. Such a demand must be filed with the
Administrator within thirty (30) days following the date of the arbitration
award; if such a demand is not made with that time period, the amount of
the arbitration award shall be binding. The computation of the total amount
of an arbitration award shall include amounts awarded for attorneys' fees
and costs, arbitration administration fees and costs, and arbitrator(s) ,
fees .
(e) No provision of this arbitration clause, nor the exercise of any rights
hereunder, shall limit the right of any party to: (1) judicially or
non-judicially foreclose against any real or personal property collateral
or other security; (2) exercise self-help remedies, including but not
limited to repossession and setoff rights; or (3) obtain from a court
having jurisdiction thereover any provisional or ancillary remedies
including but not limited to injunctive relief, foreclosure, sequestration,
attachment, replevin, garnishment, or the appointment of a receiver . Such
rights can be exercised at any time, before or after initiation of an
arbitration proceeding, except to the extent such action is contrary to the
arbitration award. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a
waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration, and any claim or
controversy related to the exercise of such rights shall be a Dispute to be
resolved under the provisions of this arbitration clause. Any party may
initiate arbitration with the Administrator. If any party desires to
arbitrate a Dispute asserted against such party in a complaint,
counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party complaint thereto, or in an
answer or other reply to any such pleading, such party must make an
appropriate motion to the trial court seeking to compel arbitration, which
motion must be filed with the court within 45 days of service of the
pleading, or amendment thereto, setting forth such Dispute. If arbitration
is compelled after commencement of litigation of a Dispute, the party
obtaining an order compelling arbitration shall commence arbitration and
pay the Administrator's filing fees and costs within 45 days of entry of
such order. Failure to do so shall constitute an agreement to proceed with
litigation and waiver of the right to arbitrate. In any arbitration
commenced by a consumer regarding a consumer Dispute, Lender shall pay one
half of the Administrator's filing fee, up to $250.
(f) Notwithstanding the applicability of any other law to this agreement,
the arbitration clause, or Related Agreements between or among the parties,
the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq., shall apply to the
construction and interpretation of this arbitration clause. If any
provision of this arbitration clause should be determined to be
unenforceable, all other provisions of this arbitration clause shall remain
in full force and effect.

Xxxxxx's costs and expenses, including Xxxxxx's reasonable attorneys' fees

constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's

any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may

offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal,
valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it
shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required
