This Note is governed by and subject to additional terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and is secured by the Collateral described in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, reference to which is hereby made for a description of the Collateral and the rights of the Borrower and the Bank with respect to the Collateral and the remedies of the Bank pertaining thereto. In the event of a conflict between any term or condition contained in this Note and the Credit Agreement, such term or condition of the Credit Agreement shall control. The proceeds of any Collateral may be applied against the liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank as provided in the Loan Documents.

If an Event of Default occurs, the Bank shall have the option to exercise all of the rights and remedies provided in the Credit Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, upon default, the Bank reserves the right, in addition to all other remedies permitted by law or in the Credit Agreement, to set off the amount due under this Note or due under any other obligation to the Bank against any and all accounts, whether checking or savings or otherwise, credits, money, stocks, bonds or other security or property of any nature whatsoever on deposit with, held by, owned by, or in the possession of, the Bank, or any of its affiliates to the credit of or for the account of the Borrower or any other party to the Credit Agreement, without notice to or consent by the Borrower or any such party. The remedies provided in this Note, the Credit Agreement, and any other agreement between the Bank and the Borrower are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

amount which is past due. In addition, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the undersigned promises to pay the following: (1) all expenses, including, without limitation, any and all court or collection costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees, whether suit be brought or not, incurred in collecting this Note or in otherwise protecting the Bank’s interests; (2) all costs incurred in evaluating, preserving or disposing of any Collateral granted as security for the payment of this Note, including the cost of any audits, appraisals, appraisal updates, reappraisals or environmental inspections which the Bank from time to time in its sole discretion may deem necessary; (3) any premiums for property insurance purchased on behalf of the Borrower or on behalf of the owner or owners of the Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document relating to the Collateral; (4) any expenses or costs incurred in defending any claim arising out of the execution of this Note or the obligation which it evidences, or otherwise involving the employment by the Bank of attorneys with respect to this Note and the obligations it evidences; and (5) any other charges permitted by applicable law.

The Bank may apply all monies made available to it from any part of the proceeds of the disposition of any Collateral or by exercise of the right of setoff either to the obligations under this Note or to any other obligations of the Borrower to the Bank, as provided in the Credit Agreement.
