Borrowers further agree to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless against claims of any Persons not a party to this Security Agreement concerning disputes arising over the Collateral.

The Lender may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as the Lender may deem proper, and the Lender may purchase any or all of the Collateral at any such public sale in accordance with the terms of Article 9 of the UCC. Borrowers acknowledge that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral because of certain legal and/or practical restrictions and provisions which may be applicable to the Collateral and, therefore, may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers.

5.3 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non- exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the Lender's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to grant any rights to Borrowers or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.
5.4 UCC and Offset Rights. The Lender may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Security Agreement or in any other agreements between the Borrowers and the Lender, and may, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the matured Obligations, including costs of collection and attorneys' and paralegals' fees, and in such order of application as the Lender may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of the Lender to the Borrowers, however created or arising, including balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrowers in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to the Lender.

There shall be no obligation on the part of the Lender to exercise any remedy available to the Lender in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

6.6 Assignability. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; but nothing herein shall authorize the assignment hereof by the Borrowers.

6.7 Binding Effect. This Security Agreement shall become effective upon execution by the Borrower and the Lender of the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If this Security Agreement is not dated when executed by the Borrowers, the Lender is hereby authorized, without notice to the Borrowers, to date this Security Agreement as of the date when it was executed by the Borrowers.
6.8 Governing Law. This Security Agreement shall be delivered and accepted in and shall be deemed to be a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Florida (but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks) applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
6.9 Enforceability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by, unenforceable or invalid under any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be severable and be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
6.10 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in making payments of all amounts due the Lender under this Security Agreement and in the performance and observance by the Borrowers of each covenant, agreement, provision and term of this Security Agreement.
6.11 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Security Agreement. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Security Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective delivery thereof. Electronic records of executed Loan Documents maintained by the Lender shall be deemed to be originals thereof.
6.12 Notices. All notices from the Borrowers to the Lender and the Lender to Borrowers required or permitted by any provision of this Security Agreement shall be delivered in accordance with Section 8.11 of the Loan Agreement (and any party may designate a change of address as provided therein).
6.13 Costs, Fees and Expenses. Borrowers shall pay or reimburse the Lender, as provided in the Loan Agreement, for all Loan Costs incurred by the Lender in connection with the consummation of this Security Agreement or for which the Lender becomes obligated in connection with the enforcement of this Security Agreement; provided, however, such costs shall not include costs incurred by the Lender prosecuting, or defending, an action against, or by, Borrowers until such time as a final court of competent jurisdiction has held such action to be in favor of Lender.
