All such communications, notices, or presentations and demands provided for herein shall be deemed to have been delivered when actually delivered in person to the respective parties, or if mailed, then three business days after the date of mailing, provided that such mailing is by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid.

11.6 Applicable Law. This Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arkansas and the applicable laws of the United States of America, except the creation, perfection, and enforcement of certain security interests obtained in connection with this Agreement or other Loan Documents may be governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas or Delaware, as applicable.

11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.8 Severability. Any section, clause, subsection, sentence, paragraph, or provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or nullify the remainder of this Agreement, but the effect thereof shall be confined to the section, clause, subsection, sentence, paragraph or provision so held to be invalid, illegal or ineffective.

11.9 Effect of Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Waiver of any right, power, or privilege hereunder or under any instrument or document now or hereafter securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby or under any guaranty at any time given with respect thereto is a waiver only as to the specified item.

11.10 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including without limitation enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnification provided for in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Loan.

11.11 Liens; Setoff by Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing lien, as security for the Note and all other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, upon any and all of its monies held in bank accounts of Borrower maintained at Lender, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to, the Lender from or for Borrower, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special, matured or unmatured) and credits of the Borrower against the Lender, held by Lender at any time existing. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as specified above, the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower to set off, appropriate, and apply any and all items hereinabove referred to against any or all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender.

11.12 Interest Limitations. It is the intention of the Lender and Borrower to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall Lender ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum rate of interest which Lender may lawfully charge under applicable law in effect from time to time, including without limitation the Arkansas Constitution which may incorporate 12 U.S.C. § 1831u(f) (the “Maximum Rate”); and in the event that the holder of any of the Note ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which, but for this provision, would be excessive interest, shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced thereby; and if the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, and all lawful interest thereon, is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower, or other party lawfully entitled thereto. Any provision hereof, or of any other agreement between the Lender and Borrower that operates to bind, obligate, or compel Borrower to pay interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be construed to require the payment of the Maximum Rate only. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other provision contained herein or in any other agreement between the Lender and Borrower that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.

11.13 Fees and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay, or reimburse Lender for, the actual out-of-pocket expenses, counsel fees and expenses, and fees of any accountants, inspectors or other similar experts, as deemed necessary by the Lender, incurred by the Lender in connection with the development, preparation, execution, amendment, recording, administration (excluding the salary of Lender’s employees and Lender’s normal and usual overhead expenses) or enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under this Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents, and any instrument or document now or hereafter securing the Loan, including all filing fees, recording taxes and fees for lien searches.
