Section
16. Assignment
and Transfer of Obligations.
This
Guaranty will bind the estate of Guarantor as to Guaranteed Obligations created
or incurred both before and after the death or incapacity of Guarantor, whether
or not Lender receives notice of such death or incapacity. This Guaranty shall
inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns.
Guarantor may not transfer or assign its obligations under this Guaranty. Lender
may assign or otherwise transfer all or a portion of its rights or obligations
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations to any other party, and such other
party shall then become vested with all the benefits in respect of such
transferred Guaranteed Obligations granted to Lender in this Guaranty or
otherwise. Guarantor agrees that Lender can provide information regarding
Guarantor to any prospective or actual successor, transferee or
assign.
Section
17. Setoff.
Guarantor agrees that, in addition to, and without limiting, any right of
setoff, Lender’s lien or counterclaim Lender may otherwise have, Lender shall be
entitled, at its option, to offset balances (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) held by it for the account of Guarantor, at any of the
offices of Lender, in Dollars or any other currency, against any amount payable
by Guarantor to Lender under this Guaranty which is not paid when demanded
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to Guarantor), in which case
Lender shall promptly notify Guarantor, provided that Lender’s failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such offset.
Section
18. Submission
to Jurisdiction.
Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any federal or
state
court sitting in Sarasota County in the State of Florida over any action or
proceeding arising out of or related to this Guaranty and agrees with Lender
that personal jurisdiction over Guarantor rests with such courts for purposes
of
any action on or related to this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby waives personal
service by manual delivery and agrees that service of process may be made by
prepaid certified mail directed to Guarantor at the address of Guarantor for
notices under this Guaranty or at such other address as may be designated in
writing by Guarantor to Lender, and that upon mailing of such process such
service will be effective as if Guarantor was personally served. Guarantor
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or
in any manner provided by law. Guarantor further waives any objection to
venue
-5-
in
any
such action or proceeding on the basis of inconvenient forum. Guarantor agrees
that any action on or proceeding brought against Lender shall only be brought
in
such courts.
Section
19. Governing
Law.
This
Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of Florida without regard to its principles of conflicts of
law.
Section
20. Subordination.
Once a
demand for payment is made on the Guarantor under this Guaranty, Guarantor
will
not (1) make any demand for payment of, or take any action to accelerate, any
obligation owed to Guarantor by Borrower, (2) seek to collect payment of, or
enforce any right or remedies against Borrower, of any of the obligations owed
to Guarantor by Borrower or any guarantees, credit supports, collateral or
other
security related to or supporting any of such obligations, or (3) commence,
or
join with any other creditor in commencing, any bankruptcy or similar proceeding
against Borrower. Guarantor also agrees that the payment of all obligations
of
Borrower to Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in time and right of
payment in accordance with the terms of this Section to the prior payment in
full (in cash) of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of such
subordination, (1) to the extent possible, Guarantor will not take or receive
from Borrower any payments, in cash or any other property, by setoff or any
other means, of any or all of the obligations owed to Guarantor by Borrower,
or
purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any of such obligations, or change the
terms or provisions of any such obligations and (2) if for any reason and under
any circumstance Guarantor receives a payment on such obligation, whether in
a
bankruptcy or similar proceeding or otherwise, all such payments or
distributions upon or with respect to such obligations shall be received in
trust for the benefit of Lender, shall be segregated from other funds and
property held by Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over to Lender in the
same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in
the
case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of securities or other
non-cash property) for, the payment or prepayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Guarantor agrees that any subrogation rights Guarantor may acquire as a result
of a payment under this Section may not be exercised until (1) the payment
in
full of the Guaranteed Obligations (after Lender no longer has any obligation
or
arrangement to provide credit to Borrower, including under or pursuant to a
line
of credit), and (2) the payment of all fees and expenses to be paid by Guarantor
pursuant to this Guaranty.
Section
21. Miscellaneous.
This
Guaranty is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and
remedies Lender may have by virtue of any other instrument or agreement
previously, contemporaneously or hereafter executed by Guarantor or any other
party or by law or otherwise. If any provision of this Guaranty is contrary
to
applicable law, such provision shall be deemed ineffective without invalidating
the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. Titles in this Guaranty are for
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or
construction of this Guaranty. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement
between Guarantor and Lender with respect to the matters covered by this
Guaranty and supercedes all written or oral agreements with respect to such
matters.
Section
22. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL.
GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND EVERY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
ON OR RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY.
