Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Noteholders and remaining after the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

(d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Noteholders to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Noteholders (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Noteholders to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) 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, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) 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 capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Noteholders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Noteholders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Noteholders, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys and other professionals to assist the Noteholders in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Noteholders would be commercially reasonable in the Noteholders’ exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Noteholders 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 the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Noteholders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.

The rights and remedies of any Noteholder provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of any Noteholder under any of the other Transaction Documents against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any of the other Transaction Documents against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, the Grantor.

 

(c) Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations, and (ii) be binding on the Grantor and all other Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9-203(d) of the Code and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Noteholders hereunder, to the benefit of the Noteholders and their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, without notice to the Grantor, the Noteholders may assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Noteholders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to any such Noteholder shall mean the assignee of such Noteholder. None of the rights or obligations of the Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Noteholders, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent of the Noteholders shall be null and void.

(e) Upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations, (i) this Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor, and (ii) the Noteholders will, upon the Grantor’s request and at the Grantor’s expense, (A) return to the Grantor such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever.

 

(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.

 

(i) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Florida.

 

(ii) The Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Palm Beach County, Florida, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim, defense or objection that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it hereunder and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Noteholders from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Grantor in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Grantor’s obligations or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of a Noteholder.

 

(iii) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. THE GRANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

(iv) The Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages.

 

(g) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

 

(h) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by pdf, facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(i) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Noteholder or any other Person (upon (i) the occurrence of any Insolvency Proceeding of any of the Company or the Grantor or (ii) otherwise, in all cases as though such payment had not been made).
