If Bank takes possession of the Collateral or parts thereof or interests therein as aforesaid, Bank and Borrower shall have joint access to the books and records of Borrower – such joint access to be under and pursuant to procedures established by Bank, which procedures may call for Bank to possess the books and records with Borrower having access to them under the supervision of Bank.

Bank, at its election, and without notice to Borrower, may, to protect and preserve its interest in the Collateral, and to assure repayment of the Loan and all other obligations owing under the Loan Documents, make any payments which Borrower has failed to make and any sum so paid shall be deemed an obligation secured by Bank’s security interest and be immediately due and payable from Borrower upon demand with interest thereon at the highest contract rate applicable under the Note, but such payment by Bank shall not release Borrower from its obligations or constitute a waiver of a default hereunder.

10.1.5. Receiver. Bank, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the value, adequacy and occupancy of all or any part of the Collateral, or any interests therein, shall be entitled as a matter of right, if it so elects, to the appointment of a receiver or other similar official to: (1) enter upon and take possession of any and all of the Collateral and any interests therein, (2) preserve, protect, manage and control the Collateral or those parts or interests over which it takes possession; and (3) collect all rents, income, proceeds and other benefits thereof and apply the same as Bank directs, or if so required, as the court which appointed such receiver or other similar official may direct. The costs and expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be deemed an obligation of Borrower owing to Bank under this Loan Agreement and the same shall be secured by Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral and shall be payable upon demand with interest from the date of demand at the highest contract rate under the Note. Bank and any receiver or similar official appointed as provided herein shall be liable to account only for such rents, income, proceeds and other benefits actually received by Bank or such other person, whether received pursuant to this Section or under other provisions of this Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other similar official, Bank shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any money, deposits, accounts, account receivables, documents, chattel paper, documents of title, instruments, payment intangibles and other general intangibles and other property and property rights and interests at the present and any future time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of the Loan Documents to Bank.

10.1.6. Set-off and Recoupment. Bank may, at its option and at any time or times without prior notice to Borrower, set-off and apply toward payment of the Loan and other amounts now owing and amounts which may become owing by Borrower under the Loan Documents, and otherwise exercise its rights of recoupment, as to any and all (1) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, (2) Indebtedness and other obligations at any time owing to or for the credit and account of Borrower by Bank and (3) Indebtedness and other obligations at any time owing to or for the credit and account of Borrower by any of Bank’s Affiliates.

Section 10.3. Suits to Protect the Collateral. Bank shall have the power and authority, at any time and from time to time, to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Bank may deem advisable in its judgment (1) to prevent the impairment or threatened impairment of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof or interests therein, by any acts and inactions which may be unlawful or which may be in breach of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, (2) to preserve and protect its interest in the Collateral and each and all parts thereof and interests therein, including its liens and security interests therein, and (3) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation and any other governmental enactment, rule and order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule and order might impair Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral, or be prejudicial to Bank’s interest in any other manner.

Section 10.4. Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition and other judicial proceedings affecting Borrower, any person obligated on any of Borrower’s obligations, any of Borrower’s creditors and any of Borrower’s property, Bank, to the extent

permitted by law and at any time or times, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower after such date.

Section 10.5. Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If Bank shall have proceeded to enforce any right and remedy under the Loan Documents by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such proceedings shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Bank, then and in every such case Borrower and Bank shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Bank shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been taken.

Section 10.6. Demand Note. Notwithstanding anything else in this Loan Agreement to the contrary, if any Note is payable on demand by Bank, then, in such event, there are no conditions precedent to Bank’s right to demand payment of such Note, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without prior notice, until the entire unpaid balance outstanding under such Note, including principal, interest, fees, premiums, charges and costs and expenses, are paid in full. And, except as provided for in this Loan Agreement, there are no conditions precedent to Bank exercising any of and all of its other rights and remedies at such time or times as it deems necessary or appropriate to recover full payment of the Note, including, without limitation, the exercise of any of and all of its rights and remedies set forth in this Article X, the exercise of any of and all of its other rights and remedies granted to it under the Loan Documents and the exercise of any of and all of its rights and remedies at law and in equity.

Article XI. Miscellaneous.

Section 11.1. Incorporation of Exhibits and Recitals; Customer and Loan Numbers. All exhibits, supplements, schedules, addenda and other attachments to this Loan Agreement are by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof as if fully set forth in the body of this Loan Agreement; provided, however, the failure to correctly complete any exhibit, supplement, schedule, addenda or attachment hereto shall not affect Borrower’s duties and Bank’s rights hereunder if such corrected information can be obtained from any of the other Loan Documents. The recitals set forth in this Loan Agreement are also a part of this Loan Agreement. The Customer and Loan Numbers, if any, stated in this Loan Agreement are for Bank’s internal business use and reference only and do not and shall not limit the scope and extent of Bank’s security interest or the Indebtedness and other obligations evidenced hereby, referenced herein and secured hereby. The captions herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Loan Agreement nor the intent of any provision hereof.

Section 11.2. Amendments. Subject to the exercise by Bank of its rights and remedies as set forth in this Loan Agreement and without limiting any of such rights and remedies, this Loan Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged and terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Bank, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge and termination is sought.

Section 11.3. Assignment. The terms, provisions and conditions in this Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives of the parties hereto; provided, however, Borrower shall not assign this Loan Agreement and any of its rights, interests, duties and obligations hereunder (inclusive of the proceeds of the Loan and other moneys to be advanced under or on account of this Loan Agreement) in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Bank, and any such assignment (whether voluntary or by operation of law) without said consent shall be void. It is expressly recognized and agreed that Bank may assign or transfer this Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the Notes if more than one, and any other Loan Documents, in whole or in part, to any person and, in the event of such assignment, Bank shall thereafter be relieved of all liability hereunder to the extent of the assignment or transfer. Borrower waives and will not assert against any transferee or assignee of Bank any claims, defenses, set-offs and rights of recoupment which Borrower could assert against Bank, except defenses which Borrower cannot waive.

Section 11.4. Conflict. It is the intention of the parties that this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents be interpreted in a consistent manner; provided, however, in the event of any irreconcilable conflict in the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control.

Section 11.5. No Partnership, Joint Venture or Agency. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not in any respect be interpreted, deemed or construed as making Bank a partner or joint venturer with Borrower, nor shall they or any of them be interpreted, deemed or construed as making Bank the agent or representative of Borrower. The relationship of Bank to Borrower is that of a creditor to an obligor or debtor; and in furtherance thereof and in explanation thereof, Bank has no fiduciary, trust, guardian, representative, partnership, joint venturer and other similar relationship to or with Borrower and no such relationship shall be drawn and implied from any of the Loan Documents or any of Bank’s actions and inactions hereunder or with respect hereto – and, Bank has no obligation to Borrower and any other person relative to administration of the Loan and administration of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof or interests therein. In no event shall Bank be liable for debts and claims accruing or arising against Borrower.

Section 11.6. Power of Attorney. Borrower does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Bank its true and lawful attorney with full power of substitution, for it and in its name, place and stead, to execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents, notices, statements and records, to include, without limitation, Financing Statements, and to do and undertake such other acts as Bank, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and to otherwise protect and preserve the security of the lien and security interests in the Collateral, and Bank’s interests therein. The foregoing appointment is and the same shall be coupled with an interest in favor of Bank.

Section 11.7. Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and each and all of Bank’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents and Affiliates (individually and collectively, “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred in the investigation and defense of any matter) (“Indemnified Liabilities”) asserted against, imposed upon and incurred by the Indemnified Parties, both direct and indirect and regardless of the basis of the Indemnified Liabilities (i.e., whether based on federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, common law, an equitable cause, contract, tort or otherwise), as a result of or arising from or relating to any one or more of (1) this Loan Agreement, (2) the other Loan Documents, (3) the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement, (4) any credit extended or used hereunder, (5) any act done or omitted by any person, or any event occurring in connection therewith, and (6) the exercise of any rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement and the exercise of any rights and remedies under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Collateral by Bank by way of foreclosure of the lien and security interests thereon, deed in lieu of such foreclosure or otherwise, except in all of the instances enumerated in (1) through (6), by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person otherwise to be indemnified hereunder. In the event this indemnity is unenforceable as a matter of law as to a particular matter or consequence referred to herein, it shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law. The obligations of Borrower under this Section are independent of all other rights and obligations set forth herein and shall survive the payment of the Loan and the termination of this Loan Agreement.

Section 11.8. Payment of Expenses. Without limiting any other provision of this Loan Agreement relating to Borrower’s payment of costs and expenses incurred by Bank and those incurred by others on behalf of Bank, but in addition thereto, whether or not the Loan is made and all of the Loan proceeds disbursed, Borrower shall pay to Bank, on demand, each and all of any costs and expenses incurred by Bank, incurred by others on behalf of Bank and incurred by Bank for Borrower: (1) in order to meet Bank’s requirements in connection with the Loan, (2) in connection with the making of the Loan and (3) in connection with the enforcement of Bank’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, including, payments to third persons of amounts Borrower is required to pay to such third persons under and pursuant to the terms of any of the Loan Documents, protecting Bank’s interest in the Collateral, collecting any amount owing by Borrower and owing by other persons under the Loan Documents and in enforcing its rights under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall be paid with interest thereon at the highest contract rate prescribed in the Note from the date paid or incurred by or on behalf of Bank until such costs and expenses are paid by Borrower. All sums so paid and

expended by Bank, and the interest thereon, shall be added to and be secured by Bank’s lien and security interests in the Collateral.

Section 11.9. Documentary and Intangible Taxes; Additional Costs. To the extent not prohibited by law and notwithstanding who is liable for payment of the taxes or fees, Borrower shall pay, on Bank’s demand, (1) all intangible personal property taxes, documentary stamp taxes, excise taxes and other similar taxes assessed, charged and required to be paid in connection with the Loan and any extension, renewal and modification thereof, and (2) all intangible personal property taxes, documentary stamp taxes, excise taxes and other similar taxes assessed, charged and required to be paid in connection with this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, and any extension, renewal and modification of any of the foregoing. If, with respect to this Loan Agreement and the transactions hereunder, any Requirement of Law (x) subjects Bank to any tax (except federal, state and local income taxes on the overall net income of Bank), (y) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit and other similar requirement against assets held by, deposits in, and loans by Bank, or (z) imposes upon Bank any other condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank, reduce the income receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to the Loan, Borrower agrees to pay to Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense within thirty (30) days following presentation by Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth Bank’s calculation thereof (including the applicable Requirement of Law causing such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense), all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error.

Section 11.10. Marshalling of Assets. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisal, homestead, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now in force and any which may in the future come to be in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Loan Documents of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof or any interests therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Loan Agreement and on behalf of all other persons to the extent permitted by law, any or all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Loan Agreement.

Section 11.11. Waiver of Statutory Rights. Borrower waives any right to require Bank to bring any action against any other person and to require that resort be had to any security and to any balances of any deposit or other accounts on the books of Bank in favor of any other person; and, without limiting the foregoing, but in furtherance thereof, Borrower waives any rights Borrower otherwise might have or may have in the future under the statutory provisions identified in the Information Schedule (by referencing this Section), and any other laws that require or may require Bank to recover against some other person, or to realize upon any security which Bank holds for the Loan. Borrower also waives any and all right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement and indemnity whatsoever and any right of recourse to and with respect to the assets and property of any person that is or may be security for the Loan.

Section 11.12. Jury, Venue, Jurisdiction. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the jurisdiction listed on the Information Schedule as the jurisdiction whose laws govern this Loan Agreement, excluding, however, the conflict of law and choice of law provisions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any of the Collateral is located in another jurisdiction or other jurisdictions, the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Collateral is located shall govern with respect to Bank’s and Borrower’s rights in and to Collateral located in such other jurisdictions and Bank’s remedies relative thereto. Borrower: (1) to the extent permitted by law, waives any right to a trial by jury in any action arising from or related to this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents; (2) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of either (i) the state courts of the jurisdiction whose laws govern this Loan Agreement as identified on the Information Schedule or (ii) a United States District Court for any federal district in such jurisdiction over any action or proceeding arising from or related to this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents – subject to the exception regarding location of the Collateral as provided hereinabove; and (3) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent Borrower may effectively do so, the defense of improper venue or an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Nothing in this Section shall affect or impair Bank’s right to serve legal process in any manner permitted by law or Bank’s right to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or Borrower’s property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.13. Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of Bank under this Loan Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Bank by virtue of any applicable laws and regulations, those given in equity, or those given to Bank under the other Loan Documents and those given under any other agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised by Bank from time to time and at any number of times successively, concurrently and alternatively without impairing Bank’s rights under this Loan Agreement and under any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.14. No Waiver; No Course of Dealing; No Invalidity. No delay or forbearance by Bank in exercising any and all of its rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement and those under any of the other Loan Documents, and no delay or forbearance of Bank in exercising any and all rights and remedies otherwise afforded by law and in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise thereof during the continuance of any Default Condition or Event of Default as set forth herein or in the event of any subsequent Default Condition or Event of Default hereunder. If Bank is requested to waive a Default Condition or an Event of Default or forbear taking action relative thereto, Bank may condition any waiver or forbearance it elects to grant Borrower on payment by Borrower of such fees to Bank as Bank deems appropriate under the circumstances and may condition any such waiver or forbearance on Borrower reimbursing Bank for all costs and expenses Bank incurs in connection with such waiver or forbearance. Also, no act or inaction of Bank under this Loan Agreement and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute or establish a “course of performance or dealing” that would require Bank to so act or refrain from acting in any particular manner at a later time under similar or dissimilar circumstances. Wherever possible each provision of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Loan Agreement and if any provision of any of the other Loan Documents shall be prohibited or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement and those of the other Loan Documents, or the application thereof shall be in a manner and to an extent permissible under applicable law.

Section 11.15. Maintenance of Bank’s Records. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank is authorized to maintain, store and otherwise retain the Loan Documents in their original, inscribed tangible form or a record thereof in an electronic medium or other non-tangible medium which permits such record to be retrieved in a perceivable form; that a record of any of the Loan Documents in a non-tangible medium which is retrievable in a perceivable form shall be the agreement of Borrower to the same extent as if such Loan Document was in its original, inscribed tangible medium and such a record shall be binding on and enforceable against Borrower notwithstanding the same is in a non-tangible form and notwithstanding the signatures of the signatories hereof or thereof are electronic, typed, printed, computer generated, facsimiles or other reproductions, representations and forms; and that Bank’s certification that a non-tangible record of any of the Loan Documents is an accurate and complete copy or reproduction of the original, inscribed tangible form shall be conclusive, absent clear and convincing evidence of the incorrectness of said certification, and such non-tangible record or a reproduction thereof shall be deemed an original and have the same force and effect as the original, inscribed tangible form.

Section 11.16. Credit Investigations; Sharing of Information; Control Agreements. Bank is irrevocably authorized by Borrower to make and have made such credit investigations as it deems appropriate to evaluate Borrower’s credit and financial standing, and Borrower authorizes Bank to share with consumer reporting agencies and creditors its experiences with Borrower and other information in Bank’s possession relative to Borrower. Bank shall not have any obligation and responsibility to (1) provide information to any third persons relative to Bank’s security interest in the Collateral, this Loan Agreement and otherwise with respect to Borrower, (2) subordinate its liens and security interests in the Collateral to the interests of any person, and (3) enter into control agreements relative to the Collateral.

Section 11.17. Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Bank may at any time or times during the term of this Loan Agreement make such payments and do or cause to be done such acts as Bank considers necessary or advisable to protect the Collateral and to preserve, protect and perfect or continue the perfection of its security interest in the Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and absent the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Bank shall not be liable and responsible for the Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein, and without limiting the foregoing, Bank shall not have any responsibility for any one or more of the following: (1) the

safekeeping of the Collateral, (2) any loss and damage occurring to the Collateral, regardless of the cause for such loss and damage, (3) any diminution in the value of the Collateral, and (4) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency and other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage and destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

Section 11.18. Execution in Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement (subject always to the provisions of Section 11.15 relating to maintenance of records).

Section 11.19. Notices. All notices, certificates and other communication require or permitted hereby shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or reputable overnight courier with receipt (e.g. Federal Express) addressed to the parties as set forth in the Informant Schedule (or to such other address as a party shall specify to the other parties in a notice). Any notice given hereunder shall be deemed given on the same day if delivered by hand, or on the following business day if sent by overnight courier, or the third business day after deposit in a United States general or branch post office, enclosed in a registered, prepaid wrapper, addressed as hereinbefore provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof.

Section 11.20. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all of Borrower’s covenants and agreements set forth in this Loan Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.21. Term of Loan Agreement. This Loan Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the last to occur of (1) payment in full of the Loan and all other amounts now owing and which may in the future be owing to Bank under the Loan Documents, or (2) termination of Bank’s obligation to make disbursements of Loan proceeds under this Loan Agreement or the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to limit, declare a moratorium on and terminate its obligation to make disbursement of Loan proceeds immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default Condition or an Event of Default and such action by Bank shall not constitute a termination of this Loan Agreement and Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and shall not adversely affect or impair Bank’s lien or security interests in the Collateral.

Section 11.22. Joinder by Guarantor. If any of the guarantors identified on the Information Schedule and if any of the other guarantors of the Loan and any of the other obligations of Borrower under this Loan Agreement, if any, have executed this Loan Agreement, such persons, by their execution of this Loan Agreement, agree to the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions contained in this Loan Agreement, agree to perform as and when they are so required to perform under this Loan Agreement and agree that they each are subjecting themselves to each and all of the obligations of Borrower set forth in this Loan Agreement. The aforesaid agreements of those guarantors executing this Loan Agreement shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the covenants, agreements and obligations of such guarantors set forth in their respective guaranty agreements. If less than all of the guarantors of Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents have executed this Loan Agreement, such fact (1) shall not release the non-executing guarantors from their covenants, agreements and obligations as set forth in their respective guaranty agreements and shall not negate and otherwise adversely affect their obligations under their respective guaranty agreements and Bank’s rights and remedies thereunder, and (2) shall not release those guarantors executing this Loan Agreement from any of their covenants, agreements and obligations as set forth herein and those set forth in their separate guaranty agreements and shall not negate and otherwise adversely affect their obligations under their respective guaranty agreements and hereunder, and Bank’s rights and remedies thereunder and hereunder.
