To induce Bank to make, extend or renew loans, advances, credit, or other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of Borrower, which are and will be to the direct interest and advantage of the Guarantor, and in consideration of loans, advances, credit, or other financial accommodations made, extended or renewed to or for the benefit of Borrower, which are and will be to the direct interest and advantage of the Guarantor, Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Bank and its successors, assigns and affiliates the timely payment and performance of all liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Bank and its affiliates, including, but not limited to, all obligations under any notes, loan agreements, security agreements, letters of credit, instruments, accounts receivable, contracts, drafts, leases, chattel paper, indemnities, acceptances, repurchase agreements, overdrafts, and the Loan Documents, as defined below, and all obligations of Borrower to Bank or any of its affiliates under any swap agreement (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time), however and whenever incurred or evidenced, whether primary, secondary, direct, indirect, absolute, contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter contracted or acquired, and all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof, (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
Guarantor further covenants and agrees:
GUARANTOR’S LIABILITY. This Guaranty is a continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The parties to this Guaranty are jointly and severally obligated hereunder. This Guaranty does not impose any obligation on Bank to extend or continue to extend credit or otherwise deal with Borrower at any subsequent time. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded, avoided or for any other reason must be returned by Bank, and the returned payment shall remain payable as part of the Guaranteed Obligations, all as though such payment had not been made. Except to the extent the provisions of this Guaranty give Bank additional rights, this Guaranty shall not be deemed to supersede or replace any other guaranties given to Bank by Guarantor; and the obligations guaranteed hereby

 


 

shall be in addition to any other obligations guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to any other agreement of guaranty given to Bank and other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations.
TERMINATION OF GUARANTY. Guarantor may terminate this Guaranty only by written notice, delivered personally to or received by certified or registered United States Mail by an authorized officer of Bank at the address for notices provided herein. Such termination shall be effective only with respect to Guaranteed Obligations arising more than 15 days after the date such written notice is received by said Bank officer. Such termination shall not be effective with respect to Guaranteed Obligations (including any subsequent extensions, modifications or compromises of the Guaranteed Obligations) then existing, or Guaranteed Obligations arising subsequent to receipt by Bank of said notice if such Guaranteed Obligations are a result of Bank’s obligation to make advances pursuant to a commitment, or are based on Borrower’s obligations to make payments pursuant to any swap agreement (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time), entered into prior to expiration of the 15 day notice period, or are a result of advances which are necessary for Bank to protect its collateral or otherwise preserve its interests. Termination of this Guaranty by any single Guarantor will not affect the existing and continuing obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder
CONSENT TO MODIFICATIONS. Guarantor consents and agrees that Bank (and, with respect to swap obligations, its affiliates) may from time to time, in its sole discretion, without affecting, impairing, lessening or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder: (a) extend or modify the time, manner, place or terms of payment or performance and/or otherwise change or modify the credit terms of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) increase, renew, or enter into a novation of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) waive or consent to the departure from terms of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) permit any change in the business or other dealings and relations of Borrower or any other guarantor with Bank; (e) proceed against, exchange, release, realize upon, or otherwise deal with in any manner any collateral that is or may be held by Bank in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities or obligations of Guarantor; and (f) proceed against, settle, release, or compromise with Borrower, any insurance carrier, or any other person or entity liable as to any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and/or subordinate the payment of any part of the Guaranteed Obligations to the payment of any other obligations, which may at any time be due or owing to Bank; all in such manner and upon such terms as Bank may deem appropriate, and without notice to or further consent from Guarantor. No invalidity, irregularity, discharge or unenforceability of, or action or omission by Bank relating to any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall affect or impair this Guaranty.
WAIVERS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Guarantor waives and releases the following rights, demands, and defenses Guarantor may have with respect to Bank (and, with respect to swap obligations, its affiliates) and collection of the Guaranteed Obligations: (a) promptness and diligence in collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations from Borrower or any other person liable thereon, and in foreclosure of any security interest and sale of any property serving as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any law or statute that requires that Bank (and, with respect to swap obligations, its affiliates) make demand upon, assert claims against, or collect from Borrower or other persons or entities, foreclose any security interest, sell collateral, exhaust any remedies, or take any other action against Borrower or other persons or entities prior to making demand upon, collecting from or taking action against Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such rights Guarantor might otherwise have had under

PROMISSORY NOTE
$750,000.00
August 15, 2006
Gulfstream International Airlines, Inc.
3201 Griffin Road, 4th Floor
Dania, Florida 33312
(Hereinafter referred to as “Borrower”)
Wachovia Bank, National Association
Jacksonville, Florida 32202
(Hereinafter referred to as “Bank”)
Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, at its office indicated above or wherever else Bank may specify, the sum of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00) or such sum as may be advanced and outstanding from time to time, with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and on the terms provided in this Promissory Note (including all renewals, extensions or modifications hereof, this “Note”).
LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note is subject to the provisions of that certain Loan Agreement between Bank and Borrower of even date herewith, as modified from time to time.
LINE OF CREDIT. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, and, upon the request of Borrower, Bank shall advance and readvance under this Note from time to time (each an “Advance” and together the “Advances”), so long as the total principal balance outstanding under this Note at any one time does not exceed the principal amount stated on the face of this Note, subject to the limitations described in any loan agreement to which this Note is subject. Bank’s obligation to make Advances under this Note shall terminate if a demand for payment is made under this Note or if a Default (as defined in the other Loan Documents) under any Loan Document occurs or in any event, on July 31, 2007 unless renewed or extended by Bank in writing upon such terms then satisfactory to Bank. As of the date of each proposed Advance, Borrower shall be deemed to represent that each representation made in the Loan Documents is true as of such date. 30-Day Payout. During the term of the Note, Borrower agrees to pay down the outstanding balance to a maximum of $100.00 for 30 consecutive days annually.
If Borrower subscribes to Bank’s cash management services and such services are applicable to this line of credit, the terms of such service shall control the manner in which funds are transferred between the applicable demand deposit account and the line of credit for credit or debit to the line of credit.
USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the loan(s) evidenced by this Note for the commercial purposes of Borrower, as follows: for short term and seasonal working capital needs.

 


 

SECURITY. Borrower has granted Bank a security interest in the collateral described in the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, personal property collateral described in that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith.
INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date hereof at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 2.75%, as that rate may change from day to day in accordance with changes in the LIBOR Market Index Rate (“Interest Rate”). “LIBOR Market Index Rate”, for any day, means the rate for 1 month U.S. dollar deposits as reported on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day, or if such day is not a London business day, then the immediately preceding London business day (or if not so reported, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).
DEFAULT RATE. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a default in the payment of Obligations occurs, all outstanding Obligations, other than Obligations under any swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time) between Borrower and Bank or its affiliates, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus 3% (“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall also apply from demand until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.
INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/360). Interest and fees, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the applicable period (“Actual/360 Computation”). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective interest yield by taking the stated (nominal) rate for a year’s period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be applied for each day in the applicable period. Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized effective rate exceeding the nominal rate.
REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, commencing on September 15, 2006, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until fully paid. In any event, this Note shall be due and payable in full, including all principal and accrued interest, on demand.
AUTOMATIC DEBIT OF CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR LOAN PAYMENT. Borrower authorizes Bank to debit demand deposit account number 2000025631672 or any other account with Wachovia Bank: National Association (067006432) designated in writing by Borrower, beginning September 15, 2006 for any payments due under this Note. Borrower further certifies that Borrower holds legitimate ownership of this account and preauthorizes this periodic debit as part of its right under said ownership.
APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Monies received by Bank from any source for application toward payment of the Obligations shall be applied to accrued interest and then to principal. Upon the occurrence of a default in the payment of the Obligations or a Default (as defined in the other Loan Documents) under any other Loan Document, monies may be applied to the Obligations in any manner or order deemed appropriate by Bank.
If any payment received by Bank under this Note or other Loan Documents is rescinded, avoided or for any reason returned by Bank because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the

 


 

returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of all persons liable under this Note or other Loan Documents as though such payment had not been made.

LATE CHARGE. If any payments are not timely made, Borrower shall also pay to Bank a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past due for 10 or more days. This late charge shall not apply to payments due at maturity or by acceleration hereof, unless such late payment is in an amount not greater than the highest periodic payment due hereunder.
Acceptance by Bank of any late payment without an accompanying late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of Bank’s right to collect such late charge or to collect a late charge for any subsequent late payment received.
ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COLLECTION COSTS. Borrower shall pay all of Bank’s reasonable expenses actually incurred to enforce or collect any of the Obligations including, without limitation, reasonable arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred without the commencement of a suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.
USURY.

Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Bank in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Note and other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

All swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time), if any, between Borrower and Bank or its affiliates are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of said swap agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of this Note, except as otherwise expressly provided in said written swap agreements, and any payoff statement from Bank relating to this Note shall not apply to said swap agreements except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE. Debtor shall bear all risk of loss with respect to the Collateral.

Debtor agrees to obtain and keep in force property insurance on the Collateral with a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement in favor of Bank and commercial general liability insurance naming Bank as Additional Insured and such other insurance as Bank may require from time to time. Such insurance is to be in form and amounts satisfactory to Bank and issued by reputable insurance carriers satisfactory to Bank with a Best Insurance Report Key Rating of at least “A-”. All such policies shall provide to Bank a minimum of 30 days written notice of cancellation. Debtor shall furnish to Bank such policies, or other evidence of such policies satisfactory to Bank. If Debtor fails to obtain or maintain in force such insurance or fails to furnish such evidence, Bank is authorized, but not obligated, to purchase any or all insurance or “Single Interest Insurance” protecting such interest as Bank deems appropriate against such risks and for such coverage and for such amounts, including either the loan amount or value of the Collateral, all at its discretion, and at Debtor’s expense. In such event, Debtor agrees to reimburse Bank for the cost of such insurance and Bank may add such cost to the Obligations. Debtor shall bear the risk of loss to the extent of any deficiency in the effective insurance coverage with respect to loss or damage to any of the Collateral. Debtor hereby assigns to Bank the proceeds of all property insurance covering the Collateral up to the amount of the Obligations and directs any insurer to make payments directly to Bank. Debtor hereby appoints Bank its attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest for so long as Obligations are unpaid, to file proof of loss and/or any other forms required to collect from any insurer any amount due from any damage or destruction of Collateral, to agree to and bind Debtor as to the amount of said recovery, to designate payee(s) of such recovery, to grant releases to insurer, to grant subrogation rights to any insurer, and to endorse any settlement check or draft. Debtor agrees not to exercise any of the foregoing powers granted to Bank without Bank’s prior written consent.
FINANCING STATEMENTS, CERTIFICATES OF TITLE, POWER OF ATTORNEY. No financing statement (other than any filed or approved by Bank) covering any Collateral is on file in any public filing office. Debtor authorizes the filing of one or more financing statements covering the Collateral in form satisfactory to Bank, and without Debtor’s signature, where authorized by law, agrees to deliver certificates of title on which Bank’s lien has been indicated covering any Collateral subject to a certificate of title statute, and will pay all costs and expenses of filing or applying for the same or of filing this Security Agreement in all public filing offices, where filing is deemed by Bank to be desirable. Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Bank the true and lawful attorney of Debtor with full power of substitution to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents, instruments or applications that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purpose and carry out the terms of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation, to complete, execute, and deliver any Control Agreement(s) by Bank, Debtor and Third Party(ies) that may be or become required in connection herewith (individually and collectively the “Control Agreement”), and any instructions to Third Party(ies) regarding, among other things, control and disposition of any Collateral which is the subject of such Control Agreement(s). The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been paid in full. Neither Bank nor anyone acting on its behalf shall be liable for acts, omissions, errors in judgment, or mistakes in fact in such capacity as attorney-in-fact. Debtor ratifies all acts of Bank as attorney-in-fact. Debtor agrees to take such other actions, at Debtor’s expense, as might be requested for the perfection,

 


 

continuation and assignment, in whole or in part, of the security interests granted herein and to assure and preserve Bank’s intended priority position. If certificates, passbooks, or other documentation or evidence is/are issued or outstanding as to any of the Collateral, Debtor will cause the security interests of Bank to be properly protected, including perfection by notation thereon or delivery thereof to Bank.
LANDLORD/MORTGAGEE WAIVERS. Debtor shall cause each mortgagee of real property owned by Debtor and each landlord of real property leased by Debtor to execute and deliver instruments satisfactory in form and substance to Bank by which such mortgagee or landlord subordinates its rights, if any, in the Collateral.
CONTROL. Debtor will cooperate with Bank in obtaining control with respect to Collateral consisting of electronic chattel paper. Debtor authorizes and directs Third Party to comply with the terms of this Security Agreement, to enter into a Control Agreement, to mark its records to show the. security interest of and/or the transfer to Bank of the property pledged hereunder.
CHATTEL PAPER, ACCOUNTS, GENERAL INTANGIBLES. Debtor warrants that Collateral consisting of chattel paper, accounts, or general intangibles is (i) genuine and enforceable in accordance with its terms; (ii) not subject to any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim of a material nature against Debtor except as to which Debtor has notified Bank in writing; and (iii) not subject to any other circumstances that would impair the validity, enforceability, value, or amount of such Collateral except as to which Debtor has notified Bank in writing. Debtor shall not amend, modify or supplement any lease, contract or agreement contained in Collateral or waive any provision therein, without prior written consent of Bank. Debtor will not create any tangible chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Debtor will not create any electronic chattel paper without taking all steps deemed necessary by Bank to confer control of the electronic chattel paper upon Bank in accordance with the UGC.
ACCOUNT INFORMATION. From time to time, at Bank’s request, Debtor shall provide Bank with schedules describing all accounts, including customers’ addresses, created or acquired by Debtor and at Bank’s request shall execute and deliver written assignments of contracts and other documents evidencing such accounts to Bank. Together with each schedule, Debtor shall, if requested by Bank, furnish Bank with copies of Debtor’s sales journals, invoices, customer purchase orders or the equivalent, and original shipping or delivery receipts for all goods sold, and Debtor warrants the genuineness thereof.
ACCOUNT DEBTORS. If a Default should occur, Bank shall have the right to notify the account debtors obligated on any or all of the Collateral to make payment thereof directly to Bank and Bank may take control of all proceeds of any such Collateral, which rights Bank may exercise at any time. The cost of such collection and enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall be borne solely by Debtor whether the same is incurred by Bank or Debtor. If a Default should occur or upon demand of Bank, Debtor will, upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances in payment on Collateral, deposit the same in a special bank account maintained with Bank, over which Bank also has the power of withdrawal.

 


 

If a Default should occur, no discount, credit, or allowance shall be granted by Debtor to any account debtor and no return of merchandise shall be accepted by Debtor without Bank’s consent. Bank may, after Default, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts and upon terms that Bank considers advisable, and in such cases Bank will credit the Obligations with the net amounts received by Bank, after deducting all of the expenses incurred by Bank. Debtor agrees to indemnify and defend Bank and hold it harmless with respect to any claim or proceeding arising out of any matter related to collection of Collateral.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS. If any Collateral covered hereby arises from obligations due to Debtor from any governmental unit or organization, Debtor shall immediately notify Bank in writing and execute all documents and take all actions deemed necessary by Bank to ensure recognition by such governmental unit or organization of the rights of Bank in the Collateral.
INVENTORY. So long as no Default has occurred, Debtor shall have the right in the regular course of business, to process and sell Debtors inventory. If a Default should occur or upon demand of Bank, Debtor will, upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances, in payment of Collateral sold, deposit the same in a special bank account maintained with Bank, over which Bank also has the power of withdrawal. Debtor agrees to notify Bank immediately in the event that any inventory purchased by or delivered to Debtor is evidenced by a bill of lading, dock warrant, dock receipt, warehouse receipt or other document of title and to deliver such document to Bank upon request.
INSTRUMENTS, CHATTEL PAPER, DOCUMENTS. Any Collateral that is, or is evidenced by, instruments, chattel paper or negotiable documents will be properly assigned to and the originals of any such Collateral in tangible form deposited with and held by Bank, unless Bank shall hereafter otherwise direct or consent in writing. Bank may, without notice, before or after maturity of the Obligations, exercise any or all rights of collection, conversion, or exchange and other similar rights, privileges and options pertaining to such Collateral, but shall have no duty to do so.
COLLATERAL DUTIES. Bank shall have no custodial or ministerial duties to perform with respect to Collateral pledged except as set forth herein; and by way of explanation and not by way of limitation, Bank shall incur no liability for any of the following: (i) loss or depreciation of Collateral (unless caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence), (ii) failure to present any paper for payment or protest, to protest or give notice of nonpayment, or any other notice with respect to any paper or Collateral.
TRANSFER OF COLLATERAL. Bank may assign its rights in Collateral or any part thereof to any assignee who shall thereupon become vested with all the powers and rights herein given to Bank with respect to the property so transferred and delivered, and Bank shall thereafter be forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability with respect to such property so transferred, but with respect to any property not so transferred, Bank shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.
INSPECTION, BOOKS AND RECORDS. Debtor will at all times keep accurate and complete records covering each item of Collateral, including the proceeds therefrom. Bank, or any of its agents, shall have the right, at intervals to be determined by Bank and without hindrance or

 


 

delay, at Debtor’s expense, to inspect, audit, and examine the Collateral during normal business hours and to make copies of and extracts from the books, records, journals, orders, receipts, correspondence and other data relating to Collateral, Debtor’s business or any other transaction between the parties hereto. Debtor will at its expense furnish Bank copies thereof upon request. For the further security of Bank, it is agreed that Bank has and is hereby granted a security interest in all books and records of Debtor pertaining to the Collateral.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Debtor will comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, applicable to it, including without limitation, laws and regulations relating to the environment, labor or economic sanctions, in the creation, use, operation, manufacture and storage of the Collateral and the conduct of its business.
REGULATION U. None of the proceeds of the credit secured hereby shall be used directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock in violation of any of the provisions of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Regulation U”), or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other purchase which might render the Loan a “Purpose Credit” within the meaning of Regulation U.
CROSS COLLATERALIZATION LIMITATION. As to any other existing or future consumer purpose loan made by Bank to Debtor, within the meaning of the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act, Bank expressly waives any security interest granted herein in Collateral that Debtor uses as a principal dwelling and household goods.
ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COSTS OF COLLECTION. Debtor shall pay all of Bank’s reasonable expenses actually incurred in enforcing this Security Agreement and in preserving and liquidating Collateral, including but not limited to, reasonable arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred with or without the commencement of a suit, trial, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.
DEFAULT. If any of the following occurs, a default (“Default”) under this Security Agreement shall exist: Loan Document Default. A default under any Loan Document. Collateral Loss or Destruction. Any loss, theft, substantial damage, or destruction of Collateral not fully covered by insurance, or as to which insurance proceeds are not remitted to Bank within 30 days of the loss. Collateral Sale, Lease or Encumbrance. Any sale, lease, or encumbrance of any Collateral not specifically permitted herein without prior written consent of Bank. Levy, Seizure or Attachment. The making of any levy, seizure, or attachment on or of Collateral which is not removed within 10 days. Unauthorized Collection of Collateral. Any attempt to collect, cash in or otherwise recover deposits that are Collateral. Third Party Breach. Any default or breach by a Third Party of any provision contained in any Control Agreement executed in connection with any of the Collateral. Unauthorized Termination. Any attempt to terminate, revoke, rescind, modify, or violate the terms of this Security Agreement or any Control Agreement without the prior written consent of Bank.
REMEDIES ON DEFAULT (INCLUDING POWER OF SALE). If a Default occurs Bank shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

 


 

Without limitation thereto, Bank shall have the following rights and remedies: (i) to take immediate possession of Collateral, without notice or resort to legal process, and for such purpose, to enter upon any premises on which Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and to remove the same therefrom, or, at its option, to render Collateral unusable or dispose of said Collateral on Debtor’s premises; (ii) to require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at a place to be designated by Bank; (iii) to exercise its right of set-off or bank lien as to any monies of Debtor deposited in accounts of any nature maintained by Debtor with Bank or affiliates of Bank, without advance notice, regardless of whether such accounts are general or special; (iv) to dispose of Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, separately or with any real property interests also securing the Obligations, in any county or place to be selected by Bank, at either private or public sale (at which public sale Bank may be the purchaser) with or without having the Collateral physically present at said sale.
Any notice of sale, disposition or other action by Bank required by law and sent to Debtor at Debtor’s address shown above, or at such other address of Debtor as may from time to time be shown on the records of Bank, at least 5 days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to Debtor. Notice shall be deemed given or sent when mailed postage prepaid to Debtor’s address as provided herein. Bank shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, and the payments received by Bank with respect to any of the Collateral, to Obligations in such order and manner as Bank may determine. Collateral that is subject to rapid declines in value and is customarily sold in recognized markets may be disposed of by Bank in a recognized market for such collateral without providing notice of sale. Debtor waives any and all requirements that the Bank sell or dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at any particular time, regardless of whether Debtor has requested such sale or disposition.
REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE. No failure on the part of Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Bank or any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law, in equity, or in other Loan Documents..
INDEMNIFICATION. Debtor shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Bank from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, fines, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or assessed against Bank on account of or in connection with (i) the Loan Documents or any failure or alleged failure of Debtor to comply with any of the terms of, or the inaccuracy or breach of any representation in, the Loan Documents, (ii) the Collateral or any claim of loss or damage to the Collateral or any injury or claim of injury to, or death of, any person or property that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Collateral or the use, occupancy or operation thereof, (iii) any failure or alleged failure of Debtor to comply with any law, rule or regulation applicable to it or to the Collateral or the use, occupancy or operation of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the failure to pay any taxes, fees or other charges), (iv) any Damages whatsoever by reason of any alleged action, obligation or undertaking of Bank relating in any way to or any matter contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (v) any claim for brokerage fees or such other commissions relating to the Collateral or any other Obligations; provided that such indemnity

 


 

shall be effective only to the extent of any Damages that may be sustained by Bank in excess of any net proceeds received by it from any insurance of Debtor (other than self-insurance) with respect to such Damages. Nothing contained herein shall require Debtor to indemnify Bank for any Damages resulting from Bank’s gross negligence or its willful misconduct. The indemnity provided for herein shall survive payment of the Obligations and shall extend to the officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents of Bank. In the event Bank incurs any Damages arising out of or in any way relating to the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents (including any of the matters referred to in this section), the amounts of such Damages shall be added to the Obligations, shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the interest rate borne by the Obligations from the date incurred until paid and shall be payable on demand.
MISCELLANEOUS. (i) Amendments and Waivers. No waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Security Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Debtor and an officer of Bank. No waiver by Bank of any Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or of the same Default on a future occasion. (ii) Assignment. All rights of Bank hereunder are freely assignable, in whole or in part, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Bank, its successors, assigns and affiliates. Debtor shall not assign its rights and interest hereunder without the prior written consent of Bank, and any attempt by Debtor to assign without Bank’s prior written consent is null and void. Any assignment shall not release Debtor from the Obligations. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor, and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of Debtor. (iii) Applicable Law; Conflict Between Documents. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the law of the jurisdiction named in the address of the Bank shown on the first page hereof (the “Jurisdiction”) without regard to that Jurisdiction’s conflict of laws principles, except to the extent that the UCC requires the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. If any terms of this Security Agreement conflict with the terms of any commitment letter or loan proposal, the terms of this Security Agreement shall control. (iv) Jurisdiction. Debtor irrevocably agrees to non-exclusive personal jurisdiction in the state identified as the Jurisdiction above. (v) Severability. If any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective but only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement. (vi) Notices. Any notices to Debtor shall be sufficiently given, if in writing and mailed or delivered to the address of Debtor shown above or such other address as provided hereunder; and to Bank, if in writing and mailed or delivered to Wachovia Bank, National Association, Mail Code VA7628, P. O. Box 13327, Roanoke, VA 24040 or Wachovia Bank, National Association, Mail Code VA7628, 10 South Jefferson Street, Roanoke, VA 24011 or such other address as Bank may specify in writing from time to time. Notices to Bank must include the mail code. In the event that Debtor changes Debtor’s mailing address at any time prior to the date the Obligations are paid in full, Debtor agrees to promptly give written notice of said change of address by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, all charges prepaid. (vii) Captions. The captions contained herein are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Security Agreement or any provision hereof. The use of the plural shall also mean the singular, and vice versa. (viii) Joint and Several Liability. If more than one party has signed this Security Agreement, such parties are jointly and severally obligated hereunder. (ix) Binding Contract. Debtor by execution and Bank by acceptance of this Security Agreement, agree that each party is bound by all terms and provisions of this Security Agreement. FINAL AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Loan
