(d) Modification, Extension. The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extension to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.
(e) ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the "International Standby Practices 1998," published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each documentary Letter of Credit.
(f) Cash Collateralization. In the event that any Letter of Credit has an expiry date after the Maturity Date, on or prior to the Maturity Date Borrower shall deliver to Lender Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all LOC Obligations for each such Letter of Credit.
(i) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(f) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with Lender. n the event that any Letter of Credit has an expiry date after the Maturity Date, Borrower shall grant to (and subjects to the control of) Lender a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied as hereinafter provided. If at any time Lender determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the LOC Obligations secured thereby, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Lender, pay or provide to Lender additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LOC Obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided.
(iii) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LOC Obligations shall be released to Borrower promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable LOC Obligations giving rise thereto or (ii) Lender's good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

37



(g) Conflict with LOC Documents. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any LOC Document (including any letter of credit application and any LOC Documents relating to the Existing Letters of Credit), this Agreement shall control.
Section 2.5 Prepayments.
(a) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay Advances in whole or in part from time to time. Borrower shall give two (2) Business Day's advanced irrevocable notice of Borrower's intent to prepay to Lender. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be applied to the outstanding Facilities as Borrower may elect; provided, however, each prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Advances and then to LIBOR Rate Advances in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.5(a) shall be without premium or penalty. Interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment shall be payable on the next occurring Payment Date that would have occurred had such Advances not been prepaid or, at the option of Borrower or the request of Lender, interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on any date that a prepayment is made hereunder through the date of prepayment.
(b) Bank Product Obligations Unaffected. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section shall not affect Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under any Bank Product, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such Bank Product.
Section 2.6 Default Rate.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Facilities and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall automatically bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the applicable Default Rate. Any default interest owing under this Section 2.6 shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) demand by Lender and (ii) the Maturity Date.
Section 2.7 Conversion Options.
(a) Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all Base Rate Advances to LIBOR Rate Advances, in whole, but not in part, by giving Lender at least three (3) Business Days' prior irrevocable written notice of such election. A form of Notice of Conversion is attached as Schedule 2.7. If the date upon which the outstanding Base Rate Advances are to be converted to LIBOR Rate Advances is not a Business Day, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and during the period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Advance shall bear interest as if it were an Base Rate Advance. The Base Rate Advances may not be converted into LIBOR Rate Advances when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(b) Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all LIBOR Rate Advances to Base Rate Advances, in whole, but not in part, by giving Lender at least one (1) Business Day's prior irrevocable written notice of such election. A form of Notice of Conversion is attached as Schedule 2.7. If the date upon which the LIBOR Rate Advances are to be converted to Base

38



Rate Advances is not a Business Day, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and during the period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Advance shall bear interest as if it were an Base Rate Advance.
Section 2.8 Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) All fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. Any change in the Applicable Interest Rate on Base Rate Advances resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Base Rate shall become effective. Any change in the Applicable Interest Rate on LIBOR Rate Advances resulting from a change in the LIBOR Rate shall become effective on the first day of the next Interest Period. Lender shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and Lender of the effective date and the amount of each such change.
(b) Each determination of an Applicable Interest Rate by Lender pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Lender shall, at the request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower a statement showing the computations used by Lender in determining any interest rate.
(c) It is the intent of Lender and Borrower to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between Lender and Borrower are hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any Obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any possible construction of any of the Credit Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If Lender shall ever receives anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Facilities under applicable law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Facilities and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to Borrower if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Facilities. The right to demand payment of the Facilities or any other Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Credit Documents does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and Lender do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender with respect to the Facilities shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Facilities so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.

39



Section 2.9 Payments.
(a) Each payment (other than prepayments) of principal or interest under this Agreement or any Note shall be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing by Borrower, second, to interest then due and owing hereunder and under the Notes and, third, to principal then due and owing hereunder and under the Notes. Each optional prepayment of the Advances shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.5(a). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to Lender for the account of Lender at Lender's office specified in Section 9.2 in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 Noon on the date when due. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(b) Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Lender on account of Borrower's Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) of Lender in connection with enforcing the rights of Lender under the Credit Documents and any protective advances made by Lender with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents;
SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Lender;
THIRD, to the payment of all of Borrower's Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest, and including with respect to any Bank Product, any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under such Bank Product and any interest accrued thereon;
FOURTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of Borrower's Obligations and the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations, and including with respect to any Bank Product, any breakage, termination or other payments due under such Hedging Agreement and any interest accrued thereon; and
FIFTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and (ii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause "FOURTH" above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by Lender in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse Lender

40



from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clause "FIFTH" above in the manner provided in this Section 2.9(b).
Section 2.10 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any Interest Period, Lender shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Unless Borrower shall have notified Lender upon receipt of such telephone notice that Borrower wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding any new LIBOR Rate Advances, such Advances that were requested to be made as LIBOR Rate Advances shall be made as Base Rate Advances and Advances were requested to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Advances shall be converted into Base Rate Advances. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by Lender, no further Advances shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Rate Advances.
Section 2.11 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority to Lender shall make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Advances as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market the funds with which to make such LIBOR Rate Advances, if Lender is match-funding such LIBOR Rate Advances, (a) Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof, (b) the commitment of Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Advances or continue LIBOR Rate Advances as such shall forthwith be suspended until Lender shall give notice that the condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) Advances then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Advances, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law as Base Rate Advances. Borrower hereby agree to promptly pay Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for actual and direct costs (but not including anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by Lender in making any repayment in accordance with this Section including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by Lender to the provider of funds obtained by Lender in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Advances hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.
Section 2.12 Yield Protection.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

41



(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);

(ii) subject Lender to any (or any increase in any) Taxes with respect to any Credit Document or any Letter of Credit (except for the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Net Income Tax); or
(iii) impose on Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Advances made by Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Advances or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advances, or to increase the cost to Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, provided that Lender has complied with Sections 2.12(e) and (f), upon request of Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If Lender shall have reasonably determined that any Change in Law affecting Lender, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital or on the capital of Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Advances made or to be made by Lender as contemplated by this Agreement, or the Letters of Credit issued by Lender, to a level below that which Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender's policies and the policies of Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by Lender to be material, then, provided that Lender has complied with Sections 2.12(e) and (f), from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Lender's intention to claim compensation therefore (except

42



that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) Notice to Borrower. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of any event which it has knowledge after the date hereof which will entitle Lender to compensation and will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce, such compensation for itself.
(f) Reasonable Efforts. Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this paragraph of this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by Lender to be material.
Section 2.13 Indemnity.
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any funding loss or expense which Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Facility in accordance with the terms hereof, (b) default by Borrower in accepting an Advance after Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, and/or (c) default by Borrower in making any prepayment after Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 2.14 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by Lender as a result of any failure of Borrower to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or to deliver to such Lender, pursuant to paragraph (d), documentation evidencing the payment of Taxes.

43



(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
(f) Each party's obligations in this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of the Credit Documents and any obligations payable thereunder.
Section 2.15 Letters of Credit Indemnification; Nature of Lender's Duties.
(a) In addition to its other obligations under Section 2.4, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (ii) the failure of Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called "Government Acts").
(b) As between Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Lender shall not be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits

44



thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (vii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of Lender's rights or powers hereunder.
(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by Lender, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put Lender under any resulting liability to Borrower. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify Lender against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by Borrower, including, without limitation, any and all risks of the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Government Authority. Lender shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of Lender.
(d) Nothing in this Section 2.15 is intended to limit the Reimbursement Obligation of Borrower contained in Section 2.4(c). The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of Lender to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.15, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify Lender in respect of any liability incurred by Lender arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender (including action not taken by Lender), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

ARTICLE VIII
THE CONSTRUCTION FACILITY
Section 8.1 Construction Advances.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, from time to time as work on the Project progresses, Lender shall make Construction Advances to Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Budget, in the amounts specified in Section 8.4, for the purpose of paying Construction Costs and Non-Construction Costs incurred in connection with the Project. Borrower agrees that all Construction Advances will be made by such means as Lender may from time to time designate; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to see to the proper application of any such Construction Advance and shall not incur any liability for any failure of such proper application. Further, following an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default remains uncured (if cure thereof is accepted by Lender), Lender reserves the right to disburse Construction Advances directly to contractors and subcontractors and no further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary following an Event of Default to warrant disbursement directly to the contractors and subcontractors, and all disbursements to the contractors and subcontractors shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder. As a condition precedent to the Initial Construction Disbursement, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a complete construction schedule and a current trade cost breakdown, itemized as to trade items, trade descriptions.
Section 8.2 Stored Materials.
Lender shall from time to time make, upon the request of Borrower, Construction Advances for major building materials, furniture, fixtures and equipment (the "Materials"), which are to be incorporated into the Improvements but which, at the time of the Construction Advance, are stored on site or at the manufacturing or a warehouse storage site and are not yet affixed to or incorporated into the Improvements, provided that:
(a) The Materials are securely stored and protected from and bonded or insured against theft, vandalism and the elements to Lender's reasonable satisfaction, and provided further that the aggregate amount advanced for materials stored at any time shall not exceed $1,000,000.00;

74



(b) All conditions for a Construction Advance under this Agreement are satisfied;
(c) If not yet delivered to the Land, the Materials are fully manufactured and stored in a designated area which effectively segregates the Materials from all other materials or equipment located at the manufacturing or warehouse storage site;
(d) The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have agreed with Lender that Lender and/or Inspecting Engineer may inspect the Materials at any time;
(e) Lender has received, in respect of each requested Construction Advance, invoices for the full price of the Materials.
Section 8.3 Requests for Advances.
To receive Construction Advances, Borrower shall submit each Draw Request to Lender not more frequently than once monthly on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month. Upon receipt of the Draw Request and the documentation required hereby in connection therewith, Lender may cause an inspection to be made of the progress of construction. If Lender elects not to cause an inspection to be made or otherwise determines as a result of any such inspection that construction is proceeding diligently and in accordance with the Plans approved in the manner required by this Agreement, and if all conditions to such Construction Advance as hereinafter provided shall have been fulfilled, Lender will make the Construction Advance on or before the twentieth (20th) day of the same month, upon and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) In no event shall Lender be required to advance any Construction Facility proceeds for any work performed or materials delivered after the Construction Facility Conversion Date. No Draw Request shall be funded prior to the date upon which Lender has received and approved such Draw Request and all documentation required hereby, and all disbursements will be made to Borrower in a manner determined by Lender or, with Lender's approval, as Borrower directs in writing. Borrower, in making payment to such party or parties as shall have supplied labor, material or service, shall accurately designate the items of account and the contract for which payment is being made. All Construction Facility proceeds will be considered to have been advanced to and received by Borrower upon, and interest on the Construction Facility proceeds will be payable by Borrower from and after, the advance of the Construction Facility proceeds as aforesaid; and
(b) All Construction Advances shall be used only for the payment of line items as shown in the Budget (as the same may be adjusted from time to time with the prior written approval of Lender) and shall be evidenced by the Construction Note and this Agreement.
Section 8.4 Disbursement Amounts.
Subject to the allocations contained in the Budget and the limitations on disbursements that are hereinafter set forth, each Construction Advance shall be made in an amount equal to the percentage of work completed and incorporated into the Improvements, multiplied by the total allocation of Construction Facility proceeds available for such work pursuant to the Budget, plus the amount allocable to Materials which qualify for disbursement under Section 8.2, less

75



amounts previously advanced for such work and/or Materials and less the applicable Holdback, up to a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of all approved Construction Costs incurred by Borrower (excluding the value of the Land) plus approved Non-Construction Costs incurred by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount to be disbursed shall not exceed the amount that results in the lesser of (i) a loan-to-cost ratio for the Project of not more than eighty percent (80%) based on the cost breakdown approved by Lender and/or Lender's inspecting engineer, or (ii) a loan-to-value ratio for the Project of seventy-five percent (75%) based on the "as completed" fair market value of the Project, as determined the Appraisal. Disbursement of Construction Advances shall be subject to the following additional provisions:
(a) There shall be withheld from the amount of each Advance of Construction Costs a sum (the "Holdback") equal to ten percent (10%) of such Construction Costs. All Holdback amounts will be disbursed by Lender at the time of the Final Construction Disbursement; and
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender will make disbursements to pay actual costs approved by Lender and shown on the Budget of (i) labor performed on, and equipment and Materials incorporated into, the Improvements, and (ii) developing the Project. At no time shall the undisbursed balance of the Construction Facility (taking into account all Construction Facility proceeds theretofore advanced by Lender and all construction theretofore completed) be less than the sum of (y) the amount allocated by Lender to complete the construction of the Improvements and (z) the aggregate amount of Holdbacks to date.
Section 8.5 Conditions to Initial Construction Disbursement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make the Initial Construction Disbursement unless and until:
(a) The conditions set forth in Subsections 4.3(a), (b) and (c) are satisfied;
(b) the Construction Contract and the Plans have been submitted to and approved by Lender and are in full force and effect;
(c) Lender has received a list of all subcontracts and, to the extent required by Lender, Lender has also received and approved the subcontracts with the subcontractors as to form, substance and the qualifications of the subcontractors thereunder;
(d) in Lender's determination, there remain sufficient undisbursed and unallocated proceeds of the Construction Facility to fully fund the construction and equipping of the Project to completion in accordance with the approved Plans;
(e) unless waived by Lender, until Lender has received each of the following documents, items and things, all of which shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender:
(i) a detailed cost breakdown for construction of the Improvements;
(ii) evidence that Completion of Improvements can be achieved for a total cost that does not exceed the amount allocated thereto in the Budget (which evidence shall include, but will not necessarily be limited to, a satisfactory plan and cost review prepared by Inspecting Engineer);

76



(iii) a building timetable verifying that Completion of Improvements can be achieved by the Construction Facility Conversion Date;
(iv) approval by Inspecting Engineer of the final Plans and cost breakdown for construction of the Improvements;

Section 8.6 Subsequent Disbursements.
Once the Initial Construction Disbursement has been made by Lender, Lender shall make further Construction Advances no more often than monthly (including the Final Construction Disbursement) upon receipt of a Draw Request, subject to the continuing satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.5 and to the following additional conditions:
(a) Lender shall have received such lien waivers, releases and affidavits with respect to all prior disbursements and all prior work, from contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, materialmen and other potential lienors (including without limitation Borrower's Engineer), as may be reasonably required by Lender;
(b) All licenses, permits, consents, approvals and authorizations for the construction and development of the Improvements, or so much thereof as to which construction has been commenced, shall be in full force and effect and no notices of violation or revocation with respect to any thereof shall have been received;

77



(d) Lender shall have received verification from the Inspecting Engineer, based upon a visual inspection, that the percentage or stage of completion is as represented on the Draw Request, and that all construction to date is in accordance with the approved Plans; and
(e) Lender shall have received such other instruments, documents and certificates as Lender may reasonably request.
Section 8.7 Final Construction Disbursement.
Lender shall make the final Construction Advance for payment of Construction Costs, and shall release any Holdbacks that have not been theretofore released (collectively, the "Final Construction Disbursement"), upon Lender's receipt of the following documents, items and things, all of which shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender:
(a) Certificates of the Contractor and Inspecting Engineer (i) stating that the Improvements have been fully completed in accordance with the Plans approved by Lender and all applicable building, fire, safety, environmental and similar codes, and (ii) containing such other details concerning the construction of the Improvements as Lender may reasonably request, together with verification of such statements and information by the Inspecting Engineer;

(c) Evidence that all certificates or permits required for the use and occupancy of the Improvements have been duly issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority, together with copies of all such certificates and permits;
(d) An as-built survey locating all Improvements, certified for the benefit of Borrower and Lender, showing that no encroachments exist over the boundaries of the Land or over any set-back or right-of-way lines; and

FORM OF ACCORDION NOTE

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
(Accordion Facility)

$__________________    As of _________, 201_


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SUN HYDRAULICS CORPORATION, a Florida corporation, as maker, having an address of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of FIFTH THIRD BANK, an Ohio banking corporation, having its principal place of business at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Lender”), or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of TWENTY MILLION AND 00/100THS DOLLARS ($20,000,000.00), or such sums as may be advanced and outstanding from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement (defined below), in lawful money of the United States of America, with interest thereon as herein provided, to be paid as provided herein.
This Revolving Line of Credit Note (Accordion Facility) (this “Note”) evidences a line of credit facility made on a revolving credit basis pursuant to that certain “Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement” dated as of June __, 2011 to which Borrower and Lender are parties (such Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement as originally executed and as same may be amended and modified from time to time being herein referred to as the “Credit Agreement”). The principal amount of this Note is to be advanced and/or repaid pursuant to the terms of Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay such borrowings or portions thereof, and reborrow; provided, however, the total principal amount outstanding under this Note at any one time shall never exceed _____________ and No/100 Dollars ($_____________.00).
1.
CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS
(a)Capitalized terms utilized herein which are not defined herein but which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
2.
PAYMENT TERMS
Principal and interest on this Note shall be due and payable as follows:

(a)The principal amount of this Note from time to time advanced and outstanding shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate in effect from time to time.
(b)Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest to Lender, commencing on the first applicable Payment Date after the initial Advance hereunder and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs.
(c)Each payment from Borrower shall be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.




(d)Lender will invoice Borrower, on a monthly basis, for interest and/or principal due by Borrower to Lender under this Note, and should Borrower fail to pay any such interest and/or principal due on any Payment Date, Lender, at its option and in its sole discretion, may debit any of Borrower’s accounts with Lender for the amount of such interest and/or principal due on such Monthly Payment Date.
(e)The entire outstanding balance of the principal sum and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all of Borrower’s Obligations with respect to the Accordion Facility shall be due and payable from Borrower hereunder in full on the Maturity Date.
(f)Interest shall be computed as provided in the Credit Agreement. Interest so computed shall accrue for each and every day on which any indebtedness remains outstanding hereunder.
(g)Remittances in an amount less than the required amount due under this Note on any Payment Date shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Lender in funds immediately available at the place where this Note is payable (or any other place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower) and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks.

3.
DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the (a) whole of the principal sum of this Note from time to time outstanding, (b) interest, default interest, late charges and any and all other sums, as provided in this Note or the other Credit Documents and (c) all other Borrower Obligations shall, without notice in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default which is a Bankruptcy Default, or with notice in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not a Bankruptcy Default, become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender.

4.
DEFAULT INTEREST
Borrower hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum of this Note at the Default Rate. The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of the date upon which the Event of Default is cured or the date upon which the Borrower’s Obligations are paid in full. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be added to the Borrower’s Obligations relating to the Accordion Facility and shall be secured by the Security Documents. This clause, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend any Payment Date, or as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

5.
PREPAYMENT
The indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, without penalty.
6.
SECURITY
This Note is secured by the Security Documents.




7.
SAVINGS CLAUSE
This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of such rate being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Accordion Advances, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread through the full stated term of this Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Accordion Advances does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Accordion Advances for so long as the Accordion Advances are outstanding.

8.
LATE CHARGE
Time is of the essence of all provisions of this Note. If any sum payable under this Note is not paid prior to the twentieth (20th) day after the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the unpaid sum or (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing the delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of the delinquent payment and the amount shall be secured by the Security Documents. This provision shall not be deemed to create a grace period for making payments under this Note and shall not preclude Lender from exercising Lender’s rights under Section 3 of this Note.

9.
NO ORAL CHANGE
This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

10.
WAIVERS
Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest and non-payment and all other notices of any kind, except for notices specifically provided for in the Credit Documents, and no release of any security for the Accordion Facility or extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note or the other Credit Documents made by agreement between Lender or any other person or party shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Borrower and any other person or entity who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Borrower’s Obligations. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note or the other Credit Documents. In addition, acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an



acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default. If Borrower is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the agreements contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and applicable notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders or members or partners comprising, or the officers and directors or managers or general partners relating to, the corporation, limited liability company or partnership, and the term “Borrower” as used herein, shall include any alternative or successor corporation, partnership or limited liability company, but no predecessor corporation or limited liability company or partnership shall be relieved of liability hereunder. (Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as consent to, or a waiver of, any prohibition or restriction on transfers of interests in any partnership, corporation or limited liability company which may be set forth in any of the Credit Documents).

11.
RIGHT OF SETOFF.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Credit Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the debt against any and all such accounts, and at Lender’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender’s charge and setoff rights provided in this Section.

12.
TRANSFER
Lender shall have the absolute right to sell, assign and transfer this Note and all of Lender’s rights hereunder and under any or all of the Credit Documents as provided in the Credit Agreement.

13.
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY
BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE ACCORDION FACILITY, THE APPLICATION FOR THE FACILITIES, THIS NOTE OR THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

1.Collateral. To secure the payment and performance of the Liabilities and the



Company’s performance of its obligations under the Accordion Documents, Company hereby grants and conveys to Lender a first in priority continuing security interest in, and security title in and to and a lien on, all of the Company’s rights, title and interest in and to all Domestic Business Assets. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Collateral pledged by this Agreement specifically includes, without limitation, the Company’s rights, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in the following, to the extent that such property constitutes Domestic Business Assets of Company:

2. Title to Collateral. The Company warrants and represents that (i) it is the lawful owner of the Collateral, and has the full right, power, and authority to convey, transfer, and grant the security title and security interest in the Collateral granted herein to Lender; (ii) the Collateral is not, and so long as this Agreement is in effect, will not be, subject to any liens, claims, security interests, encumbrances, taxes, or assessments, however described or denominated other than Permitted Liens, Liens in favor of Lender and Liens otherwise expressly consented to by Lender in writing; (iii) no financing statement, mortgage, notice of lien, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, security agreement, or any other agreement or instrument creating an encumbrance, lien, or charge against any of the Collateral is in existence or on file in any public office, other than financing statements (or other appropriate security documentation) filed on behalf of Lender naming Lender as secured party or related to Permitted Liens; and (iv) all information with respect to the Collateral and the Liabilities, or any of them, set forth in any written schedule, certificate, or other document at any



time heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company to Lender, and all other written information heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company to Lender, is and will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date furnished.

3. Further Assurances. The Company will defend its rights, title and interest in and to the Collateral against all persons and will, upon request of Lender (a) furnish such further assurances of title as may be reasonably required by Lender, (b) deliver and execute or cause to be delivered and executed, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Lender, any financing statements, control agreements, notices, and other documents and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices reasonably deemed necessary by Lender, as well as any recordation, documentary, or transfer tax required by law to be paid in connection with such filing or recording, and (c) do such other acts as Lender may reasonably request in order to perfect, preserve, maintain, or continue the perfection of the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and its priority. The Company hereby authorizes Lender, at Lender’s option, to file from time to time, without the execution by or further consent of the Company, such financing statements and amendments, continuations and addendums thereto as Lender may reasonably deem appropriate to perfect, preserve, maintain or continue the perfection of the Lender’s security interest in all or any portion of the Collateral.

4. Accounts. Etc. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the Company will, at its own expense, diligently collect, in the ordinary course consistent with past practice as and when due, all amounts owing under the Accounts, including the taking of such action with respect to such collection consistent with prudent business practices; provided, however, without limiting the requirements of the Credit Agreement, until an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) shall occur, the Company may use or consume in the normal and ordinary course of its business any such collections on the Accounts in any lawful manner but only provided that such use and consumption is not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Lender, Lender may, after an Event of Default shall occur and upon notice to the Company, revoke any such power and authority and notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts to make payment to Lender of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, and enforce collection or performance under any of the Accounts by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release, or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Unless sooner required by the Credit Agreement, after an Event of Default, the Company will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts to make payments to Lender and will hold in trust and immediately forward to Lender all payments received by the Company in the form received, with all necessary endorsements thereon for collection by Lender. To the extent any provisions of this Section 4 are in conflict with any provisions of the Credit Agreement, the provisions most favorable to Lender will prevail.

5. Transfer and Other Liens. During the continuation of an Event of Default, except to the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business the Company will not sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Lender and will not permit any lien, security interest, or other encumbrance to attach to the Collateral, or any part thereof, other than Permitted Liens and Liens in favor of Lender or otherwise expressly approved by Lender in writing which approval maybe withheld in the sole discretion of Lender. Except to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, the Company shall not incur any additional Indebtedness without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.




6. Financial Statements, Books, and Records. The Company will maintain such books and records and provide to Lender such financial statements and other financial information as are required by the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Company will not dissolve, merge, or consolidate with any other person. The Company will at all times comply with the requirements of the Credit Agreement relating to dissolution, merger, consolidation and maintenance of its corporate existence. Without the prior written consent of Lender, the Company will not change its name or change the location of any Collateral to any place other than Company’s business locations described in the Credit Agreement. The Company will immediately advise Lender in writing of the opening of any new place of business and of any change in the location of the places where the Collateral or any part thereof, or the books and records concerning the Collateral or any part thereof, are kept.

8. Care of Collateral. The Company will maintain the Collateral in good condition excepting ordinary wear and tear and any loss, damage, or destruction which is fully covered by proceeds of insurance (less applicable deductibles) and will not do or permit anything to be done to the Collateral that may impair its value or that may violate the terms of any insurance covering the Collateral or any part thereof. Lender shall have no duty to, and the Company hereby releases Lender from all claims for loss or damage caused by the failure to collect or enforce any Account or chattel paper or to preserve rights against prior parties to the Collateral except for such actual damage to the Company caused by fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Lender. The Company will use the Collateral for lawful purposes only, with all reasonable care and caution and in conformity with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations.

9. Insurance. The Company will at all times keep the Collateral insured as provided in the Credit Agreement. All insurance policies shall provide that loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender as its interest may appear. After deducting from said insurance proceeds all of Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, Lender may apply the proceeds or any part thereof it may receive from such insurance, at its option, in such order determined by Lender, in its discretion, (a) to the payment of all or any portion of the Liabilities, whether or not due and in whatever order Lender elects, and/or (b) to the repair and/or restoration and/or replacement of the Collateral, subject to such conditions as Lender may require, all without affecting the lien, security interest or security title created by this Agreement and any balance of such monies then remaining after such application shall be paid to the Company or the person or entity lawfully entitled thereto. Such policies or certificates thereof shall, if the Lender so requests, be deposited with the Lender. Such policies shall name Lender as loss payee and shall provide that the insurer shall give Lender thirty (30) days notice before the cancellation of such policy.

10. Taxes. The Company will pay as and when due and payable all taxes, levies, license fees, assessments, and other impositions levied on the Collateral or any part thereof or for its use and operation; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged any such tax, assessment or governmental charge provided that (i) the amount,



applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) none of the Collateral is at risk of forfeiture or loss or subjected to any lien (which is not bonded) and (iii) the Company shall have established and shall maintain any required reserves on its books for the payment of the same.

11. Fixtures. The Company shall not allow any Collateral that is not currently a fixture to become attached to any real estate in such a manner as to become a fixture or a part thereof without the written consent of Lender, which consent maybe withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. However, if any tangible property included in the Collateral becomes a fixture, the security interest of Lender under this Agreement shall automatically attach to and include such tangible property. The Company shall promptly furnish to Lender a description of the real estate where such fixture is located, obtain from the owner of such real estate and holder of any lien thereon such subordination agreement as Lender may require and take such other action as Lender may reasonably require to preserve and perfect Lender’s first priority, perfected security interest thereon. Lender is authorized to file any fixture filing as maybe deemed necessary by Lender to perfect any security interest in such fixtures, with all costs associated with such recording (including any recording tax) to be paid by the Company.

12. Specific Assignments. Promptly upon request by Lender, the Company will execute and deliver to Lender written pledges, assignments, endorsements, and/or schedules, in form and content satisfactory to Lender, of Collateral or groups of Collateral, but the security interest of Lender hereunder shall not be limited in any way by such pledges or assignments.

13. Delivery of Chattel Paper. The Company will promptly upon request by Lender deliver, assign, and endorse to Lender all chattel paper and all other documents held by the Company in connection therewith.

14. Government Contracts. If any Account or chattel paper arises out of a contract or contracts with the United States of America or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, the Company shall immediately notify the Lender thereof in writing and execute any instruments or take any steps required by the Lender in order that all moneys due or to become due under such contract or contracts shall be assigned to the Lender and notice thereof given under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or other applicable law.

15. Collateral Account. If all or any part of the Collateral at any time consists of Inventory, Accounts, or, chattel paper, the Company will, upon the written request of Lender at anytime and from time to time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder which is continuing and has not been cured within any applicable cure period, if any, deposit or cause to be deposited to Lender’s account designated by Lender and from which Lender alone has power of access and withdrawal (the “Collateral Account”) all checks, drafts, cash, and other remittances in payment or on account of payment of such Inventory, Accounts, or chattel paper and the cash proceeds of any returned Inventory, the sale of which gave rise to an Account or chattel paper (all of the foregoing herein collectively referred to as “Items of Payment”). The Company shall deposit the Items of Payment for credit to the Collateral Account within one (1) business day of the receipt thereof, and in precisely the form received, except for the endorsement of the Company where necessary to permit the collection of the Items of Payment, which endorsement the Company hereby agrees to make. Pending such deposit, the Company will not commingle any of the Items of Payment with any of its other funds or property but will hold them separate and apart. Lender may at any time and from time to time apply the whole or any part of the collected funds credited to the Collateral Account against the Liabilities, in such order and proportion of application determined by Lender. The



Company shall have no right of withdrawal from the Collateral Account during the continuance of the Event of Default.

16. Rights of Lender and Duties of the Company. Lender may if an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and is continuing (a) notify the account debtors (and other obligors) obligated on any of the Collateral to make payments thereon directly to Lender, and to take control of the cash and non-cash proceeds of any such Collateral; (b) compromise, extend, or renew any of the Collateral or deal with the same as it may deem advisable; (c) release, make exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (d) remove from the Company’s place(s) of business all books, records, ledger sheets, correspondence, invoices, and documents relating to or evidencing any of the Collateral or, without cost or expense to Lender, and make such use of the Company’s place(s) of business as may be reasonably necessary to administer, control, and collect the Collateral; (e) repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any account debtor; (f) demand, collect, receipt for, and give renewals, extensions, discharges, and releases of any of the Collateral; (g) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral; (h) settle, renew, extend, compromise, compound, exchange, or adjust claims with respect to any of the Collateral or any legal proceedings brought with respect thereto; (i) endorse the name of the Company upon any Items of Payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in Lenderruptcy against an account debtor; and (j) receive and open all mail addressed to the Company and notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to the Company to such address as Lender may designate; and for purposes of taking the actions described in Subsections (a) through (j), the Company hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Liabilities remain unpaid), with power of substitution, in the name of Lender or in the name of the Company or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Lender, but at the cost and expense of the Company and without notice to the Company. If an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and is continuing the Company will (a) make no material change to the terms of any sale of any Inventory or of any Account or chattel paper without the prior written permission of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (b) on written demand, make available in form acceptable to Lender documents and delivery receipts evidencing the shipment of Inventory which gave rise to the sale of Inventory or evidencing an Account or chattel paper, copies of all statements, reports, certificates, invoices and other data pertaining to any Accounts, copies of the invoices arising out of the sale of Inventory or for an Account, and the Company’s copy of any written order from which the sale of Inventory or an Account or chattel paper arose.

17. Performance by Lender. If the Company fails to perform, observe, or comply with any of the material conditions, terms, or covenants contained in this Agreement and such failure has caused an Event of Default, Lender, without waiving or releasing any of the Liabilities or any Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter perform such conditions, terms, or covenants for the account and at the expense of the Company, and may enter upon any place of business or other premises of the Company for that purpose and take all such lawful action thereon as Lender may consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose. All sums paid or advanced by Lender in connection with the foregoing and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection therewith (collectively, the “Expense Payments”), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment until repaid in full, shall be paid by the Company to Lender on demand and shall constitute and become a part of the Liabilities secured hereby.




18. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement: (a) an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; (b) any levy, attachment, garnishment or other process is made or issued or any Lien is filed against any Collateral and not dismissed or removed within sixty (60) days of the issuing or filing thereof; or (c) breach by the Company of, non-compliance by the Company with or failure of the Company to observe any other term, covenant, representation or agreement contained in this Agreement (provided, however, with respect to such defaults not otherwise addressed in this Section 18, the Company shall have ten (10) days after written notice of such failure is given by Lender to the Company in which to cure any such failure that can be cured by the payment of money and shall have thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure is given by Lender to the Company in which to cure any such failure that cannot be cured by the payment of money).

19. Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender may, at its option, and without notice to the Company, and, without limiting any other available rights and remedies, cause the acceleration of the Liabilities, which shall become immediately due and payable. The occurrence or non-occurrence of an Event of Default shall in no manner impair the ability of Lender to demand payment of any portion of the Liabilities which are payable on demand. Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable law in the State of Florida or other applicable law of any other applicable jurisdiction. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Company, upon written demand by Lender, shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender which is mutually convenient to both parties. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender or its agents may enter upon the Company’s premises to take possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, or to sell or otherwise dispose of it, all without judicial process or proceedings; provided, however, all such action shall be taken in commercially reasonable manners.
Any written notice of the sale, disposition, or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral which is required by applicable laws and is sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at the address of the Company’s principal place of business specified in the first paragraph hereof, or such other address which may from time to time be shown on the Lender’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale, disposition, or other action, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Company. The Company shall pay on written demand all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by or on behalf of Lender (a) in enforcing the Liabilities, and (b) in connection with the taking, holding, preparing for sale or other disposition, selling, managing, collecting, or otherwise disposing of the Collateral. All of such costs and expenses (collectively, the “Liquidation Costs”), together with interest thereon at a simple per annum rate of interest which is equal to the Default Rate from the date of payment until repaid in full, shall be paid by the Company to Lender on written demand and shall constitute and become a part of the Liabilities secured hereby. Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by Lender to the payment of Liquidation Costs and Expense Payments, and any balance of such proceeds will be applied by Lender to the payment of the remaining Liabilities in such order and manner of application as Lender may from time to time in its sole discretion determine. If any deficiency exists, the Company shall remain liable for such deficiency.

20. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Lender as provided for in this Agreement, the Accordion Note or the Credit Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the Accordion Note or the



Credit Agreement or now or hereafter available at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lender of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

21. Waiver. No failure or delay by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Agreement or of the other Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any of the Liabilities, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived the right either to require payment when due of all other the Liabilities or to declare an Event of Default hereunder for failure to effect such payment of any such other the Liabilities. The Company waives presentment, notice of dishonor, and notice of non-payment with respect to Accounts and chattel paper.

22. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term, condition, covenant, or agreement hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge, or termination is sought. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida and shall be binding upon the Company and its legal representatives, successors, and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. As used herein, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, as the context may require, and the term “person” shall include an individual, a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership, a trust, an organization and any other form of entity. Invalidation of any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect any of the other provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect. All references herein to any document, instrument, or agreement shall be deemed to refer to such document, instrument, or agreement as the same may be amended, modified, restated, supplemented, or replaced from time to time.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among any of the various provisions contained in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement or Accordion Note, the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall control.
From and after the Effective Date, this Agreement embodies the final, entire agreement of the parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior agreements, whether written or oral.
