Agreement

 

1.                          General Conditions Precedent to the Loan. Before the Lender makes a Loan, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender the respective Note corresponding to the Loan, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, and the Security Agreement for the Collateral corresponding to the Loan, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, and provide all financial information, corporate documents, certifications, authorizations and invoices requested by Lender and to Lender’s satisfaction. In addition, Lender’s obligations shall be conditioned upon Lender’s receipt of and determination that the following are satisfactory to Lender: (a) lien searches in the jurisdiction in which Borrower’s principal executive office is located; (b) lien searches with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”); (c) lien searches with the International Registry of Mobile Assets created by the Cape Town Treaty (“IRMA”) and (d) Borrower’s parent company, Allegiant Travel Company, a Nevada corporation, shall have executed a guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”.

 

2.                          Note Term and Payments. Each Note shall provide for the amortization of principal and interest in equal monthly installments over a period of forty eight (48) months and for a balloon payment of the remaining principal balance on the date that is forty-eight (48) months after the date of the Note, all as set forth in each Note and commencing on the date stated in each Note.

 

3.                          Interest Rate. The interest rate for each Note shall be reflected in the respective Note and shall be equal to 3-Month LIBOR rate (the “3-Month LIBOR rate”), plus two hundred fifty basis points (2.50%), fixed. For these purposes, the “3-Month LIBOR rate” shall mean the 3-Month LIBOR rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date of the advance. This definition of Bank’s 3-Month LIBOR rate is to be strictly interpreted and is not intended to serve any purpose other than providing an index to determine the interest rate used herein. Bank’s 3-Month LIBOR rate may not necessarily be the same as the quoted offered side in the Eurodollar time deposit market by any particular institution or service applicable to any interest period. It is not the lowest rate at which Bank may make loans to any of its customers, either now or in the future. At no time shall the interest rate applicable to the Notes be less than 6.00% per annum.

 

4.                          Origination Fee. Borrower shall pay, as a condition precedent to the Loans, a “loan origination fee” equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the amount of each of the Loans. The origination fee shall be payable at the time of each advance of the Loan evidenced by a respective Note by reducing the amount to be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon the execution of each Note by the amount of the loan origination fee with respect to such Loan.

 

5.                          Consideration for the Note. In consideration of each Note and as a condition of its Loan to Borrower, Lender requires Borrower to grant a security interest in the Collateral described in each Security Agreement to secure Borrower’s payment and performance of all its obligations under the corresponding Note.

6.                          Method of Payment. Borrower shall make each payment under each Note on the date when due thereunder in lawful money of the United States to Lender’s address set forth above (or the address of Lender’s assignee which shall be provided to Borrower) in immediately available funds. Borrower may make payments by wire transfer per wire instructions set forth on Exhibit “D” attached hereto as such wire instructions may be changed by Lender by prior written notice to Borrower.

 

7.                          Fees and Costs. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all out of pocket appraisal fees, attorneys’ fees and additional costs, charges, and expenses incurred (i) for all searches, filings, registrations, recordings, waivers and appraisals; (ii) in review, preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreements and the Notes (“Debt Documents”), (iii) in defending or protecting Lender’s security interest in the Collateral after a default by Borrower or in the event another lien is filed against the Collateral or Lender has reasonable basis to believe its priority secured position in the Collateral is impaired; (iv) in the enforcement of the Loan or the collection of any payments due under the Debt Documents after an Event of Default (defined below) by Borrower, or the preparation of any settlement agreements prepared in connection with the Loan as a result of any such event of default; (v) in any amendment of the Loan other than an amendment requested by Lender; and (vi) in any lawsuit or other legal or arbitration/mediation proceeding to which the Loan gives rise, including without limitation, actions in tort if Lender is the prevailing party. The documentation, appraisal fees and legal fees to be paid by Borrower and described in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not exceed $20,000.00.

 

8.                          Corporate Existence and Evidence; Citizenship; International Registry. Borrower represents and warrants, on a continuing basis, that it (i) is a limited liability company, (ii) is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (iii) is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where its operations require, and (iv) has full power and authority, under the operating or other organizational or governing agreement of the company, to obtain the Loans using the Collateral as security, and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Debt Documents. Borrower’s execution, delivery and performance of the Debt Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary company action on the part of Borrower and are not inconsistent with its operating agreement or other organizational or governing instruments. Borrower is, and shall at all times throughout the term of this Agreement (including any extensions or renewals hereof) be and remain, a citizen of the United States within the meaning of 49 U.S. Code Section 20102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States Code. In addition, Borrower shall, throughout the term of the Loan, (i) be registered as a Transaction User Entity, (ii) have designated a Professional User Entity (acceptable to Lender) and (iii) have paid all required fees and taken all actions necessary to enable Lender to register any International Interest with the International Registry. The terms “Transaction User Entity” and “Professional User Entity” shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the International Registry Regulations issued pursuant to Article 17(2) of the Cape Town Convention and Article XVIII of the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters specific to Aircraft Equipment.

9.                          Legally Binding Obligations.

responsibility and in form customary in the airline industry and reasonably acceptable to Secured Party, all-risk ground, taxiing and flight aircraft hull insurance covering the Collateral and, if the Collateral consists of or includes engines and/or propellers (including blades), shall also cover the Collateral while on an airframe or removed therefrom, whether temporarily or otherwise, and fire and explosion coverage, ingestion and lightning and electrical damage, and extended coverage and all-risk property damage insurance, including fire and transit, covering the Collateral; provided, however, that the amount of such insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral shall be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Collateral. In addition, such insurance shall be at least of a scope and coverage (except as to dollar requirements) (i) as Debtor carries on the majority of its other property similar to the Collateral and (ii) as is customarily carried by United States based air carriers engaged in the same or similar business, similarly situated with Debtor and operating property that is similar to the Collateral. Further, Debtor shall, or require its lessee under Section 11 to, at all times maintain or cause to be maintained war risk hull and governmental confiscation insurance providing insurance against the following risks: (1) strikes, riots, civil commotions or labor disturbances, (2) any malicious act or act of sabotage and (3) hi-jacking or any unlawful seizure or wrongful exercise of control of the Collateral or crew in flight (including any attempt at such seizure or control) made by any person or persons on board the Collateral or, if the Collateral consists of or includes engines and/or propellers, the airframe to which the Collateral is attached, without the consent of the insured.

Debtor shall furnish to Secured Party certificates of insurance and letters from a reputable and recognized aviation insurance broker to the effect that Debtor’s or lessee’s insurance coverage comply with the terms of this Security Agreement; provided, however, that Secured Party shall be under no duty either to ascertain the existence of or to examine such insurance policies or to advise Debtor in the event such insurance coverage shall not comply with the requirements hereof.

Debtor may maintain reasonable deductibles with respect to the insurance required hereunder.

 

(i)        Loan Notes. So long as this Security Agreement remains in effect, Debtor shall be liable under this Security Agreement for all of its obligations under the Loan Notes. Breach of any of Debtor’s obligations under any of the Loan Notes shall constitute a breach of this Security Agreement;

 

(j)        Possession and Location of Collateral. Debtor or its lessee under any lease entered into in accordance with this Agreement shall, at all times, retain sole possession and control of the Collateral, headquartered at the location shown on Exhibit “E” (or amendment thereto in connection with the lease of the Collateral or otherwise), and all records, logs, manuals, data, inspection, modification and overhaul records shall be kept at Debtor’s or such lessee’s chief executive offices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Debtor or lessee may operate the Collateral in connection with its business and may also temporarily move the Collateral to other locations for repair or maintenance provided Debtor furnishes Secured Party with a reasonably-detailed list of such repair locations within ten (10) days of Secured Party’s reasonable request therefor;

 

(k)       Personal Property. Any and all Collateral which is personal property shall remain personal property at all times. Debtor shall not affix any of the personal property to any real property in any manner which would change its nature to a fixture; and

5.         Financing Statement and Other Documents. Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing statements, IRMA registrations and FAA filings describing the Collateral, and to take any and all actions which Secured Party deems necessary or advisable in order to perfect Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral. Debtor agrees to execute any additional documents, and to take any further actions, reasonably requested by Secured Party to evidence or perfect the first priority of the security interest granted to Secured Party by this Security Agreement.

 

6.         Inspection and Appraisal of the Collateral. Secured Party, its assigns and agents shall have free access to the Collateral at all reasonable times during normal business hours for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and for any other purpose contemplated in this Security Agreement; provided, however, that no inspection shall interfere with the operation of the Collateral in the Debtor’s or its lessee’s business unless Debtor or a lessee fails to cooperate with Secured Party for access to the records for the Collateral.

 

7.         Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

8.         Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of the default, Secured Party may, with or without giving notice to Debtor and with or without canceling this Security Agreement and the Loan Notes, do any one or more of the following:

 

(a)       Enforcement. Enforce this Security Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Loan Notes according to their respective terms;

(f)        Take Possession. Without notice to Debtor, repossess the Collateral wherever found, with or without legal process, and for this purpose Debtor grants to Secured Party and/or its agents or assigns the right to enter upon any premises of or under the control or jurisdiction of Debtor or any agent of Debtor, without liability for suit, action or other proceeding by Debtor (any damages occasioned by such repossession

 

24



 

being hereby expressly waived by Debtor) and remove the Collateral therefrom; Debtor further agrees, on demand, to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party, all at Debtor’s expense;

 

(g)       Sell, Lease or other Disposition. In its sole discretion, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral, whether or not in Secured Party’s possession and free and clear of any right or interest Debtor has, in a commercially reasonable manner at public or private sale with notice to Debtor (the parties agreeing that ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall constitute adequate notice of such sale), and apply the net proceeds of any such disposition, after deducting all costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Secured Parry in connection with such default to the obligations of Debtor hereunder and under the Loan Notes, or propose to retain any or all of the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction, as the case may be, with Debtor remaining liable for any deficiency. The sale, lease or other disposition may, at Secured Party’s sole option, be conducted at Debtor’s premises.

 

With respect to any exercise by Secured Party of its right to recover and/or dispose of any Collateral securing Debtor’s obligations, Debtor acknowledges and agrees as follows: (i) Secured Party shall have no obligation, subject to the requirements of commercial reasonableness, to clean-up, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition; (ii) Secured Party may comply with any applicable State or Federal law requirements in connection with any disposition of the Collateral, and any actions taken in connection therewith shall not be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any disposition of such Collateral; (iii) Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like with respect to the disposition of the Collateral; (iv) if Secured Party purchases any of the Collateral, Secured Party may pay for the same by crediting some or all of Debtor’s obligations under this Security Agreement and the Loan Notes; and (v) no right or remedy referred to in this Section is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available at law or in equity, and may be exercised concurrently or separately from time to time.

 

The rights and remedies afforded Secured Party hereunder shall not be deemed to be exclusive, but shall be in addition to any rights or remedies provided by law. Secured Party’s failure promptly to enforce any right or remedy hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, and Secured Party’s waiver of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default. Secured Party may accept late payments or partial payments of amounts due under the Loan Notes and may delay enforcing any of Secured Party’s rights or remedies hereunder without losing or waiving any of Secured Party’s rights or remedies. Except as expressly provided in this Security Agreement, Debtor waives any notice of Secured Party’s notice of nonpayment, presentment, notice of dishonor, or any other notice.

 

Secured Party shall also have and enjoy all rights and remedies provided at law or in equity, including without limitation those provided to secured parties under the Uniform

 

25



 

Commercial Code (“UCC”), to collect, enforce or satisfy any obligations of Debtor then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Secured Party is fully compensated for all amounts due under the Debt Documents, including all fees of collection, through the exercise of any or all of the foregoing remedies, any excess amounts obtained by Secured Party through such collection efforts shall inure to the benefit of and shall be paid to Debtor or as directed by Debtor.

 

9.         Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. Debtor shall be liable for and shall pay to Secured Party all of Secured Party’s costs and expenses incurred in enforcing its rights and remedies under this Security Agreement after an Event of Default with regard to the Collateral, including without limitation its court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses. Secured Party shall be entitled to recover from Debtor all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party after an Event of Default in: (i) the repossession, recovery, storage, repair, sale, insuring, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, (ii) other pre-judgment and post-judgment enforcement related actions taken by Secured Party, and (iii) any actions taken by Secured Party in a bankruptcy proceeding involving Debtor or the Collateral. Costs and expenses include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection therewith or otherwise resulting or arising from Debtor’s or any guarantor’s default, plus interest on all of the above until paid (before and after judgment) at the lesser of the default interest rate under the 860 Note or the highest rate permitted by law.

 

10.       Assignment. Secured Party may assign or transfer its rights and interests in the Debt Documents or the Collateral to its assignee either outright or as security for a loan or loans. Upon notice of any such assignment and instructions from Secured Party, Debtor shall make its payments and perform its other obligations under the Debt Documents to Secured Party’s assignee (or to another party designated by Secured Party’s assignee). Secured Party’s assignee shall have all of the rights but none of the obligations of Secured Party under this Security Agreement and the Loan Notes assigned, and after such assignment Secured Party shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations. Debtor shall provide Secured Party with a copy of any notices sent by Debtor to any assignee of Secured Party under this Security Agreement.

 

Upon any such assignment, Debtor agrees to promptly execute or otherwise authenticate and deliver to Secured Party all documents requested by Secured Party which acknowledge the assignment and which may be required to effect the underwriting. Debtor authorizes Secured Party’s assigns to file UCC-1 financing statements, and other filings and registrations with the IRMA, the FAA and otherwise to protect its interest. Secured Party’s assigns are authorized to take any measures necessary to protect their interest in the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Debt Documents.

 

11.       Lease of Collateral. Debtor is prohibited from entering into a lease for any of the Collateral unless: (i) Debtor has provided documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party that the lessee will operate the Collateral in compliance with the terms

 

26



 

of this Security Agreement; (ii) Debtor has provided documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party that the lessee acknowledges the Secured Party’s priority security interest in the Collateral; and (iii) the lessee has received written notice from Debtor that the lease shall be assigned to Secured Party. With respect to any such lease, Debtor shall grant and assign to Secured Party, and no other person, a security interest in the lease between Debtor and lessee. Any interest Debtor may have in the lease is hereby assigned to Secured Party as part of the Collateral. Secured Party reserves the right, upon an Event of Default by Debtor under the Debt Documents, to obtain lease payments directly from the lessee. If there is a conflict between a provision in the Debt Documents and a provision in a lease, the provision in the Debt Documents control.

 

12.       Term. This Security Agreement is a continuing agreement, and to the extent allowed by applicable law all rights, remedies and powers of Secured Party hereunder shall apply to all past, present and future obligations of Debtor under the Loan Notes, notwithstanding the bankruptcy, dissolution or insolvency of Debtor, and, subject to the following paragraph, shall continue in full force and effect until all obligations of Debtor under the Loan Notes have been paid, performed and satisfied in full, notwithstanding any termination of the Loan Notes. The power of sale and other rights and remedies granted to Secured Party hereunder may be exercised even though any remedies of Secured Party under the Loan Notes may be barred for whatever reason.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, so long as Debtor is not in default under this Security Agreement or other Debt Documents, the Secured Party shall release its security interest in the Collateral under this Security Agreement upon Debtor’s satisfaction in full of all amounts owing under the 860 Note issued with respect to such Collateral. In such event, this Security Agreement shall terminate, and the Collateral hereunder shall no longer serve as security for the unpaid Loan Notes.

 

13.       Notices. Any notices or demands required to be given herein shall be in writing and addressed to the other party at the address herein or such other address provided by written notice and shall be effective (i) upon the next business day if sent by guaranteed overnight express service (such as Federal Express); (ii) on the same day if personally delivered; or (iii) three days after mailing if sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid.

The parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of Nevada; any suit or other proceeding brought by either party to enforce or construe this Security Agreement, or to determine matters relating to the Collateral or the relationship between the parties hereto shall be brought only in the state or federal courts in Nevada. This Security Agreement was executed in Nevada and is to be performed in Nevada. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DEBT DOCUMENT, THE COLLATERAL

 

27



 

OR THE CONDUCT OF OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY.

 

15.       Risk of Loss. Debtor assumes and shall bear all risk of loss for theft, damage, non-delivery or destruction to the Collateral (hereafter, such loss, damage, non-delivery or destruction to the Property shall be referred to as a “Casualty”), howsoever caused.

 

In the event of a Casualty to the Collateral (or any part thereof) and irrespective of payment from any insurance coverage maintained by Debtor, but applying full credit therefor, Debtor shall at its option, (a) place the Collateral in good repair, condition and working order; or (b) if the Collateral suffering a Casualty is an Engine, replace the Collateral as provided in Section 3; or (c) pay to Secured Party the total due under the 860 Note and this Security Agreement for such Collateral, less the insurance proceeds relating thereto, if any.

 

Debtor shall notify Secured Party within ten (10) days of the actual date of the Casualty that a Casualty has occurred; Debtor will notify Secured Party of its election of either option (a), (b) or (c), as set forth above, within thirty (30) days following the actual date of the Casualty. Debtor will then fully perform the repair, replacement or payment within sixty (60) days of the date of the Casualty.

 

16.       CRAF PROGRAM

 

(a)       Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Debt Document, Debtor may transfer possession of the Collateral to the United States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof as part of the CRAF Program. Debtor will promptly notify Secured Party in writing in the event of the requisition for use of the Collateral under a CRAF Program activation by the U.S. Government. All of Debtor’s obligations under the Debt Documents will continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred. Any provisions of the Debt Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if there is a requisition for use of the Engine pursuant to the CRAF Program and/or CRAF Program activation, Secured Party agrees that the insurance the Debtor is required to maintain pursuant to terms hereof, so long as the requisitioned Collateral remains Collateral, may be supplemented or replaced by insurances provided under Title XIII of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, and /or U.S. government indemnification (which Title XIII insurances and indemnification will be, as to the Collateral, in an amount not less than 110% of the balance of the promissory note signed in connection with such Collateral and, as to all other insurances, in amounts not less than those required by the terms of the Loan Agreement); provided, however, that Debtor will remain responsible for full compliance with all the provisions of the Debt Documents, to the extent Title XIII and/or the U.S. Government indemnification do not satisfy Debtor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(b)       If there is a requisition for use of the Collateral pursuant to the CRAF Program and/or CRAF Program activation, there will be no limitation on the

 

28



 

geographic area in which the Collateral may be operated so long as taken as a whole, Debtor’s insurance, the Title XIII insurance and/or the indemnification provided by the U.S. Government shall fully cover (without any geographic exclusions) the insurance requirements set forth herein.

 

(c)       If an Event of Default occurs and Secured Party elects to pursue its remedies in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to repossess the Collateral, Secured Party will so notify the U.S. Government by sending a written communication with a copy to Debtor as follows:

 

Headquarters Air Mobility command

AMC Contracting Office – XOKA

Scott Air Force Base, Illinois ###-###-####

 

(d)       So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments received by Secured Party or Debtor from any governmental entity in connection with the requisition of the Collateral under the CRAF Program (except payments on account of an Event of Loss relating to the Collateral) will be paid over to or retained by Debtor. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may direct the governmental entity to make all payments to Secured Party and all payments received by Secured Party or Debtor from such governmental entity in connection with the requisition of the Collateral under the CRAF Program may be used by Secured Party and applied to the Debtor’s obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

 

17.       Indemnification. Debtor shall indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless from and against any and all third party claims (including without limitation, negligence, tort and strict liability), damages, adjustments, suits, administrative and legal proceedings, and any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Secured Party) arising out of or in any manner connected with or resulting from this Security Agreement or the Collateral, except such claims relating to Debtor’s enforcement of this Security Agreement against Secured Party. Debtor agrees to give Secured Party prompt notice of any such claim or liability. Secured Party for purposes of this paragraph includes Secured Party, its successors and assigns, shareholders, members, owners, partners, directors, officers, representatives and agents, and the provisions of this paragraph shall survive expiration of this Security Agreement with respect to events occurring prior hereto.

 

18.       Headings. Section headings used in this Security Agreement are for convenience only and are not a part of this Security Agreement and shall not be used in construing it.

 

19.       Severability. In the event that any provision of this Security Agreement is found to be unenforceable in any legal proceeding, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

29



 

20.       Integration and Modification. This Security Agreement together with the Loan Agreement and the Loan Notes referred to herein constitute the entire agreement of Debtor and Secured Party concerning its subject matter. This Security Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written amendment signed by a duly authorized representative of each party, but no such amendment or modification needs further consideration to be binding. The parties have signed this Security Agreement as of the day and year written below.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

THIS GUARANTY is made, as of                 , 2008, by ALLEGIANT TRAVEL COMPANY, a Nevada corporation, of 3301 North Buffalo Drive, Suite B-9, Las Vegas, NV 89129 (“Guarantor”) to BANK OF NEVADA of 777 N. Rainbow Blvd., Las Vegas, Nevada, 89107 (“Secured Party”) and its assigns on behalf of ALLEGIANT AIR, LLC, a Nevada limited-liability company, of 3301 North Buffalo Drive, Suite B-9, Las Vegas, NV 89129 (“Debtor”).

 

R E C I T A L S:

 

A.       Secured Party and Debtor have entered or intend to enter into a Master Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”), which includes all riders, amendments, supplements or other attachments now or hereafter executed in connection therewith. (Terms used herein as defined terms shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.) In connection with the Loan Agreement, Secured Party and Debtor have or intend to enter into one or more Security Agreements along with corresponding Notes for the purpose of financing the property listed in each Security Agreement. Each Security Agreement shall incorporate the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and, along with the corresponding Note, shall constitute a separate and independent Loan for the property listed in each Security Agreement. Each Security Agreement and its corresponding Note shall be referred to herein as “Loan.”

 

B.        As a condition to Secured Party’s execution of one or more Loans with Debtor, Secured Party requires Guarantor to guarantee Debtor’s obligations under each Loan.

 

C.        Guarantor is financially interested in Debtor, and by Secured Party’s execution of each Loan, Guarantor will receive reasonably equivalent value for this Guaranty.

 

D.        Guarantor is willing to guarantee Debtor’s obligations under each Loan and the corresponding Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and as an inducement to Secured Party to enter into each Loan with Debtor, Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

 

1.         Guaranty. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the full, complete and prompt payment, performance and observance of all of Debtor’s obligations under each and every Loan and Note, including without limitation the payment of principal and interest and the payment of all amounts required or provided for under the Loan resulting from Debtor’s breach or non-performance thereof. Guarantor agrees that this is an irrevocable, continuing guaranty and that Guarantor shall perform its obligations hereunder notwithstanding any renewal, extension, modification or discharge of any of Debtor’s obligations under the Loans, the Notes, and the other Debt Documents. This Guaranty

 

32



 

shall apply to each Note, Security Agreement, and Debt Document that Debtor executes, and Secured Party shall not be required to notify Guarantor of Debtor’s execution of each such Note, Security Agreement, or Debt Document before, at the time of, or after it is executed and delivered.

 

2.         Default by Debtor. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are separate and independent of Debtor’s obligations under any Loan. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under any Loan, Secured Party may pursue its remedies against Debtor and/or proceed directly against Guarantor for the payment, performance or observance of any and all of Debtor’s obligations under any of the Loans, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to require Secured Party: (a) to proceed first or otherwise against Debtor; (b) to proceed against or exhaust any security it may hold; or (c) to pursue any other remedy available to it.

 

3.         Waiver. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Secured Party and waives presentment, demand for performance, notice of default, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor and any other notice otherwise required with respect to Debtor’s failure to perform under any Loan, the Loan Agreement, or any Debt Document. Guarantor also waives any defense or disability available to Debtor which might save or release it from liability including, without limitation, defect in or unenforceability of the Loan Agreement, any Note, any Security Agreement, any Debt Document, or a Loan. No delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any rights under this Guaranty or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver of such rights. No modification or waiver of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be effective unless in writing signed by Secured Party, and no such waiver shall be applicable and effective except in the specific instance for which it is given.

 

4.         Authority to Modify Obligations. In accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement, each Loan, Note, Security Agreement, and Debt Document, and without causing a release of Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, Secured Party shall be authorized to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the payment schedule or other terms of any Loan; accept partial payments from the Debtor; take and apply any security (if applicable) and exercise any remedy against the Debtor; amend, substitute, waive, subordinate or release any property or additional security or any obligations covered under any Loan; settle, release, compound, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the obligations covered under any Loan; and release Debtor from any obligations under any Loan. Secured Party shall not be required to notify Guarantor of any of the foregoing modifications made.

 

5.         Familiarity with Debtor. Guarantor shall be solely responsible to keep itself informed as to the financial and other condition of Debtor and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of Debtor’s breach or non-performance of any Loan. Secured Party shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to it regarding Debtor’s condition, financial or otherwise.

 

33



 

6.         Discharge. Nothing shall discharge or satisfy Guarantor’s obligations hereunder except the full payment, performance and observance of all of Debtor’s obligations under each Loan. If any claim is made upon Secured Party at any time for repayment or recovery of any amount(s) or other value received by Secured Party from any sources, in payment of or on account of any of the liabilities of Debtor guaranteed hereunder and Secured Party repays or otherwise becomes liable for all or any part of such claims, for whatever reason, the undersigned shall remain liable to Secured Party hereunder as if such amount(s) had never been received by Secured Party, notwithstanding any termination hereof or the termination of the agreements evidencing any of the liabilities of Secured Party. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.

 

7.         Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that this Guaranty is a binding obligation of the Guarantor and is enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty has been approved by all necessary corporate action and does not violate or conflict with Guarantor’s articles of organization, bylaws, resolutions or other governing instruments and will not result in a breach of any agreement to which Guarantor is a party.

 

8.         Financial Statements. Guarantor shall provide to Secured Party a copy of its annual audited financial statements within one hundred twenty (120) days after its fiscal year end, and a copy of its quarterly un-audited financial statements within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter.

 

9.         Applicable Law; Costs of Enforcement. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Nevada and that jurisdiction of any dispute shall be exclusively in the Nevada state or federal courts. Guarantor submits itself to such jurisdiction. Guarantor agrees that it shall reimburse Secured Party for all costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys fees.

 

10.       Assignment. Secured Party may assign this Guaranty to one or more entities without notice to Guarantor, and upon such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all of the benefits, rights and remedies of Secured Party, as if no assignment had been made.

 

11.       Benefit. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns, including any successor assignees.

 

12.       Entire Agreement: Modification: Partial Invalidity. This Guaranty represents the entire obligation of Guarantor in favor of Secured Party, and there are no prior or contemporaneous verbal or written modifications to it. This Guaranty shall not be modified or limited except in a writing signed by Secured Party and all parties to be bound. In the event that any provision of this Guaranty shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
