Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving Seller thirty (30) days' prior written notice of termination, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate on the earlier date of thirty (30) days thereafter or the end of the then current Term or Renewal Term, upon which Termination Date Seller shall fully repay to Purchaser all Obligations (other than Obligations under Sections 19, 27 and 36 hereof which survive the payment in full of the other Obligations indefinitely).

24. No Lien Termination without Release. In recognition of the Purchaser's right to have its reasonable outside attorneys' fees and other actual and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Seller, Purchaser shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of Purchaser's liens on the Collateral unless and until Complete Termination has occurred. Seller understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under §9-513 of the UCC.

25. Conflict. Unless otherwise expressly stated in any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller, if a conflict exists between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of such other agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

26. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

27. Expenses. In addition to those expenses set forth in Section 8 herein, Seller agrees to reimburse Purchaser the actual and documented amount of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred and paid by Purchaser, including reasonable outside attorneys' fees and expenses, which Purchaser may incur (a) protecting, preserving or enforcing any lien, security or other right granted by Seller to Purchaser or arising under applicable law, whether or not suit is brought, including but not limited to the defense of any Avoidance Claims or the defense of Purchaser's lien priority; (b) for travel and reasonable outside attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in complying with any subpoena or other legal process in any way relating to Seller; and (c) for the actual amount of all costs and expenses, including reasonable outside attorneys' fees, which Purchaser may incur in enforcing this Agreement, or in connection with any federal or state insolvency proceeding commenced by or against Seller or any Payor, including those (i) arising out of an automatic stay, (ii) seeking dismissal or conversion of a bankruptcy proceeding or (iii) opposing confirmation of Seller's plan thereunder. All expenses will be subtracted from the Reserve Account and are payable by Seller upon demand by Purchaser. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

28. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties, verbal or written, express or implied, relating to the subject matter hereof. No promises of any kind have been made by Purchaser or any third party to induce Seller to execute this Agreement. No course of dealing, course of performance, or trade usage, and no parol evidence of any nature, shall be used to supplement or modify any terms of this Agreement.

29. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed under, and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Chosen State.

30. Jury Trial Waiver. IN RECOGNITION OF THE HIGHER COSTS AND DELAY WHICH MAY RESULT FROM A JURY TRIAL, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING HEREUNDER, OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

31. Venue; Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of the subject matter or the interpretation, performance, or breach of this Agreement, shall, if Purchaser so elects, be instituted in the Courts of Orange County, Florida (each an "Acceptable Forum"). Each Party agrees that the Acceptable Forums are convenient to it, and each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Acceptable Forums, irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered in connection with this Agreement and waives any and all objections to jurisdiction or venue that it may have under the laws of the Acceptable Forums or otherwise in those courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Should such proceeding be initiated in any other forum, Seller waives any right to oppose any motion or application made by Purchaser as a consequence of such proceeding having been commenced in a forum other than an Acceptable Forum.

32. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if all signatures were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of the signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, and any Party delivering such an executed counterpart of the signature page to this Agreement by such means to any other Party shall thereafter also promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement to such other Party, provided that the failure to deliver such manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect of this Agreement.

36. Confidentiality and Nondisclosure. The Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement, all business methods and trade secrets, and any and all other records and information clearly and specifically identified by the applicable Party as confidential will be held in strict confidence and treated as the confidential property of the other Party. A Party will not, except in the due performance of its duties or the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, disclose any of the foregoing to any person, unless specifically authorized to do so in writing by the other Party or unless required by law. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
