ARTICLE 7
REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
If an Event of Default shall occur Bank may declare this Agreement in
default and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Obligations
owing by Borrower to Bank shall upon demand by Bank immediately become due and
payable (notwithstanding that the maturity date or dates expressed in any
evidence of such indebtedness may be otherwise) and Bank may foreclose Bank's
lien or security interest in the Collateral in any way permitted by law, and
Bank shall have, without limitation, the remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in Florida as of the date hereof. Bank may
thereupon enter Borrower's and each Subsidiary's premises without legal process,
but in accordance with applicable laws and without incurring liability other
than liability to Borrower arising out of Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, and remove the Collateral to such place as Bank may deem advisable,
or Bank may require Borrower and each Subsidiary to make the Collateral
available to Bank at Borrower's and each Subsidiary's place of business and,
with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Bank may
sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral whether in its
then condition or after further preparation or processing, either at public or
private sale or at any broker's board, with or without notice and with or
without advertisement, in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, at any time
or place, in one or more sales, and upon such terms and conditions as Bank may
elect but in all events in accordance with applicable laws. At any such sale
Bank may be the purchaser. If any Inventory shall require rebuilding, repairing,
maintenance, preparation, or is in process or other unfinished state, Bank shall
have the right, at Bank's option, to do such rebuilding, repairing, preparation,
processing or completing of manufacturing, for the purpose of putting the
Inventory in such saleable form as Bank shall deem appropriate.
26
If after receipt of any payment of or any part of the Obligation, the
Bank is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment to any person because
such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible
setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, this Agreement
shall continue in full force and the Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for
the amount of such payment surrendered. The provisions of this Section shall be
and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been
taken by the Bank in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so
taken shall be without prejudice to the Bank's rights under this Agreement and
shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final
and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement until all periods for such surrender have ended without such
action having been instituted.
Borrower hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Bank (and all persons
designated by Bank) the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower
with full power of substitution: (a) if an Event of Default has occurred, to
receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower relating to the
Collateral; (b) if an Event of Default has occurred, to notify and direct the
United States Post Office authorities by notice given in the name of Borrower
and to sign on behalf of Borrower, to change the address for delivery of all
mail addressed to Borrower relating to the Collateral to an address to be
designated by Bank, and to cause such mail to be delivered to such designated
address where Bank may open all such mail and remove therefrom any notes,
checks, acceptances, drafts money orders or other instruments included in the
Collateral in which Bank has a security interest under the terms of this
Agreement, with full power to endorse the name of Borrower upon any such notes,
checks, acceptances, drafts, money orders, instruments or other documents
relating to the Collateral or security of any kind and to effect the deposit and
collection thereof, and Bank shall have the further right and power to endorse
the name of Borrower on any documents relating to the Collateral; (c) to sign
the name of Borrower to drafts against its lessees or other debtors, to notices
to such lessees or other debtors, to assignments and notices of assignments,
financing statements or other public records or notices and all other
instruments and documents; (d) to do any and all things necessary and take such
actions in the name and on behalf of Borrower to carry out the intent of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the grant of the security interest
granted under this Agreement and to perfect and protect the security interest
granted to Bank in respect of the Collateral and the Bank's rights created under
this Agreement. Borrower agrees that neither Bank nor any of its agents,
designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or
omission (other than for acts of commission or omission which constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order), or for any error of judgment or
mistake of fact or law in respect to the exercise of the power of attorney
granted under this Article. The power of attorney granted under this Article
shall be irrevocable during the Term of this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
Borrower and Bank further covenant and agree as follows, without
limiting any requirement of any other Loan Document:
10.1 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS AND NO WAIVER. Each and every right granted
to Bank under any Loan Document, or allowed it by law or equity shall be
cumulative of each other and may be
28
exercised in addition to any and all other rights of Bank, and no delay in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise by Bank of any right preclude any other or future exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. Borrower expressly waives any
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, including but not
limited to notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration. No notice
to or demand on Borrower in any case shall, of itself, entitle Borrower to any
other or future notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
10.2 APPLICABLE LAW. This Loan Agreement and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of Florida and applicable United States federal law.
10.3 AMENDMENT. No modification, consent, amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Loan Agreement, nor consent to any departure by Borrower
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
an officer of Bank, and then shall be effective only in the specified instance
and for the purpose for which given. This Loan Agreement is binding upon
Borrower, its successors and assigns, and inures to the benefit of Bank, its
successors and assigns; however, no assignment or other transfer of Borrower's
rights or obligations hereunder shall be made or be effective without Bank's
prior written consent, nor shall it relieve Borrower of any obligations
hereunder. There is no third party beneficiary of this Loan Agreement.
10.4 DOCUMENTS. All documents, certificates and other items
required under this Loan Agreement to be executed and/or delivered to Bank shall
be in form and content satisfactory to Bank and its counsel.
10.5 PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The unenforceability or invalidity of any
provision of this Loan Agreement shall not affect the enforceability or validity
of any other provision herein and the invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of any Loan Document to any person or circumstance shall not affect
the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other
persons or circumstances.
10.6 INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold
Bank and its successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, suits, losses, damages, assessments, fines, penalties, costs or
other expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising
from or in any way related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and
the operation of the Borrower's business including, but not limited to, the
payment of "Taxes" (as hereinafter defined). The Borrower's obligations under
this paragraph shall survive the repayment of the Loan and any deed in lieu of
foreclosure or foreclosure of any Deed to Secure Debt, Deed of Trust, Security
Agreement or Mortgage securing the Loan.
10.7 SURVIVABILITY. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made herein or in the other Loan Documents shall survive the making
of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the Loan is
outstanding or the obligation of the Bank to make any advances under the Loan
shall not have expired.
29
10.8 FIELD AUDIT. The Bank shall be permitted to perform (for the
benefit of the Bank) inventory and accounts receivable field audits which must
be satisfactory to the Bank. Such audits shall be at the Borrower's expense
provided Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense more than once in any
twelve (12) month period unless the Borrower shall be in default.
10.9 JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS.
(a) Any suit, action or proceeding against Borrower with
respect to this Agreement, the Note, the Loan Documents or any judgment entered
by any court in respect of any thereof shall be brought in the courts of Broward
County in the State of Florida or in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Florida as Bank (in its sole discretion) may elect, and Borrower
hereby accepts the nonexclusive jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose of
any suit, action or proceeding.
(b) In addition, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the Note, the Loan Documents or any judgment entered
by any court in respect of any thereof brought in the State of Florida, and
hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any suit, action or proceeding
brought in the State of Florida has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Borrower hereby further agrees that if any such suit, action or proceeding is
pending in more than one jurisdiction, Bank's selection of the forum shall be
binding upon the parties hereto.
10.10 COURSE OF DEALING. No course of dealing between Bank and
Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be effective to amend, modify or change any
provision of this Agreement.
10.11 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding
upon Borrower, each Subsidiary and Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of
the Bank, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, trustees,
estates, successors and assigns; provided, that the Borrower may not assign any
of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Bank, which
consent may be withheld in the Bank's sole discretion. The Bank may, without the
consent of the Borrower, Guarantor, or any other Person, assign, negotiate,
hypothecate, or grant participations in this Agreement or in any of its rights
and security under this Agreement and each of the other documents contemplated
to be executed in conjunction herewith. The Borrower and each Guarantor shall
accord full recognition to any such assignment, and all rights and remedies of
the Bank in connection with the interest so assigned shall be as fully
enforceable by such assignee as they were by the Bank before such assignment. In
connection with any proposed assignment, the Bank may disclose to the proposed
assignee any information that the Borrower or any Guarantor is required to
deliver to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement.
10.12 NET PAYMENTS. All payments by the Borrower under this
Agreement and the Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such
amounts as may be necessary in order that
30
all payments, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, or other charges of whatsoever nature
imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof including, without limitation, documentary and intangible taxes
(collectively, the "Taxes") shall not be less than the amounts otherwise
specified to be paid under this Agreement and the Note. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Paragraph , the Borrower shall not be liable
for the payment of any tax on or measured by net income imposed on the Bank
pursuant to the income tax laws of the United States or any of the United States
or any political subdivision thereof. The Borrower shall pay all Taxes when due
(and indemnify the Bank against any liability therefor) and shall promptly (and
in any event not later than thirty [30] days thereafter) furnish to the Bank any
certificates, receipts and other documents which may be required (in the
judgment of Bank) to establish any tax credit to which the Bank may be entitled.
The obligations of the Borrower under this Paragraph shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loan, but such
obligations shall terminate as to any claim or liability for Taxes for which the
Borrower is responsible pursuant to this Paragraph on the same date that any
such claim or liability for Taxes is barred by any applicable statute of
limitations.
10.13 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower will at its own cost and
expense execute and deliver to Bank, at any time and from time to time, any and
all further agreements, documents and instruments, and take any and all further
actions which may be required under applicable law, or which Bank may from time
to time reasonably request, in order to effectuate the intent of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including all such actions to establish, preserve, protect and perfect the
estate, right, title and interest of the Bank to the Collateral including that
which is not Collateral on the date hereof.
10.14 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and same instrument.
10.15 RESURRECTION OF BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS. To the extent that
Bank receives any payment on account of any of Borrower's Obligations, and any
such payment(s) or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid
to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or
Federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such
payment(s) received, Borrower's Obligations or part thereof intended to be
satisfied and any and all Liens upon or pertaining to any property or assets of
Borrower and theretofore created and/or existing in favor of Bank as security
for the payment of such Borrower's Obligations shall be revived and continue in
full force and effect, as if such payment(s) had not been received by Bank and
applied on account of Borrower's Obligations.
10.16 EQUITABLE RELIEF. Borrower recognizes that, in the event
Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of Borrower's Obligations
under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to
Bank; the Borrower agrees that Bank, if Bank so requests, shall be
31
entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without
the necessity of proving actual damages.
ARTICLE 11
AMBIGUITY OR CONFLICT
In the event of an ambiguity or conflict of terms between any of the
provisions of the Note, the Deed of Trust, the Security Agreement, any Loan
Document and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to
amend and control all of the other agreements; and, to the extent that any of
the agreements are silent, each shall supplement the others; provided, however,
in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, the Deed of
Trust, the Security Agreement, any Loan Document, the Note and any of them, the
terms which, in Bank's sole discretion, grant Bank the greater protection with
respect to the prospect of payment of the Note, or in any other manner are of
greater benefit to Bank, shall control. All other provisions of contemporaneous
or previous agreements and understandings between Borrower, and Bank relating to
the commitment of Bank and the Note in conflict with any expressed provision
hereof shall be merged into this Agreement and be extinguished and of no further
force and effect.
