In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, each Grantor shall take any actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.

With respect to any Vehicle included in the Collateral, such Grantor shall (i) provide information with respect to any such Vehicle reasonably required by the Administrative Agent (or its designated agent), (ii) (x) with respect to such Vehicle owned on the Closing Date, shall, within thirty (30) days, or such longer period as may be approved by the Administrative Agent at its sole option, of the Closing Date or (y) with respect to Vehicles acquired after the Closing Date, no later than thirty days (30) following such acquisition (or such longer period as may be approved by the Administrative Agent at its sole option), execute and file (or cause to be executed and filed) with the registrar of motor vehicles or other appropriate authority in such jurisdiction an application or other document requesting the notation or other indication of the security interest created hereunder on such certificate of title, and (iii) promptly upon receipt thereof, deliver to the Administrative Agent (or its designated agent) copies of all such applications or other documents filed and copies of all such certificates of title issued indicating the security interest created hereunder in the items of Vehicles covered thereby.

Filing of Financing Statements, Notices, etc. Each Grantor at its own expense hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to prepare and file such financing statements (including continuation statements) or amendments thereof or supplements thereto or other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time deem reasonably necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC (including authorization to describe the Collateral as “all personal property” or “all assets” or words of similar import), and each such Grantor hereby ratifies and agrees to the filing of all such financing statements heretofore filed by the Administrative Agent. Each Grantor shall also execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such agreements, assignments or instruments (including affidavits, notices, reaffirmations and amendments and restatements of existing documents, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) and do all such other things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time (i) to assure to the Administrative Agent of its security interests hereunder and the attachment and perfection thereof, (ii) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) to otherwise protect and assure the Administrative Agent of its rights and interests hereunder, including, without limitation, with respect to each of the foregoing: (A) such instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC, (B) with regard to Copyrights, a notice of grant of security interest in Copyrights for filing with the USCO substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, (C) with regard to Patents, a notice of grant of security interest in Patents for filing with the USPTO substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and (D) with regard to Trademarks, a notice of grant of security interest in Trademarks for filing with the USPTO substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

Advances. On failure of any Grantor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien (other than a Permitted Lien), expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the security interests in the Collateral or which Administrative Agent may be compelled to make by operation of law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall: (a) be repayable by the Grantors on a joint and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefore; (b) constitute additional Obligations; and (c) bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the default rate as set forth in Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the performance of any covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Grantor, nor the advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Grantors of any Default or

Event of Default. During the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim.

Remedies.

(a)

General Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Credit Documents, in any other documents relating to the Obligations, or by Applicable Law (including, but not limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set forth in the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further, the Administrative Agent may, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Grantors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Grantors to assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent at the expense of the Grantors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Grantors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale (which in the case of a private sale of Pledged Equity, shall be to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such Equity Interests for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof), at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements). Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and, in the case of a sale of Pledged Equity, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the Administrative Agent’s compliance with applicable Applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Borrower in

accordance with the notice provisions of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell any Pledged Equity which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of the State of Florida (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or (ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Administrative Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such Equity Interests. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any Secured Party may be a purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Grantors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Administrative Agent may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.

(b)

Remedies relating to Accounts, Receivables, etc. During the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder (except as prohibited by applicable law, including without limitation, the federal anti-assignment provisions of 42 U.S.C. §1396a(a)(32) and §1395g(c)), (i) each Grantor will promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors and/or Obligors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts or Receivables to a mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent may notify Obligors that any Accounts and/or Receivables have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or that the Administrative Agent has a security interest therein and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any Grantor’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Administrative Agent or its designee may notify any Grantor’s customers and account debtors or Obligors that the Accounts and/or Receivables of such Grantor have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name of a Grantor or both) demand, collect (including without limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, xxx for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any Account and/or Receivable, and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the holders of the Obligations in the Accounts and/or Receivables. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts and/or Receivables remitted to or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Administrative Agent’s own

convenience and that such Grantor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts and/or Receivables or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any liability or responsibility to any Grantor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance. Furthermore, during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts and/or Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Grantors shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may require in connection with such test verifications, (ii) upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the expense of the Grantors, the Grantors shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts and (iii) the Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with account debtors and/or Obligors on the Accounts and/or Receivables to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts and/or Receivables. Each Grantor further agrees that it will, without compensation of any nature from the Administrative Agent or Lenders, take all actions necessary to assist the Administrative Agent or any of its designees in taking possession of and/or collecting, as applicable, Accounts, Receivables, General Intangibles or any other items, all as more fully set forth in this Agreement. Moreover, each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized, without any further action by any Person, to contact any Obligor, insurer, insurance agency, insurance broker or similar Person that owes money to the Borrower and to notify such Person that the Administrative Agent, on its behalf and on behalf of the Lenders, as a security interest in all of the Borrower’s Receivables and that all payments, including any proceeds of unearned premiums, commissions or similar amounts, shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that its undertaking herein is a material inducement for the Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into, and make loan under, the Credit Agreement.

(c)

Pledged Equity. In addition to the other rights and remedies hereunder, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have, at its option, the sole and exclusive right to (or otherwise refrain from exercising its rights relating to) (i) transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee or transferee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, (ii) exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Equity for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, (iii) exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, (iv) collect and receive all cash dividends and other payments and distributions made thereon and (v) notify the parties obligated on any of the Pledged Equity to make payment to Administrative Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

(d)

Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter

and remain upon the various premises of the Grantors without cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Grantors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, the Administrative Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral. Furthermore, each Credit Party hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent any and all rights of such Credit Party to access any and all storage facilities or other locations where any Collateral or information (whether digital, hard copy or otherwise) relating to Collateral may be stored and each Credit Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to enter upon any such storage facilities or other locations and remove any contents thereof in connection with the Administrative Agent’s exercise of its remedies hereunder, including removal of any and all Receivables (whether in digital form or otherwise), any information related to any such Receivables and the devices in which such Receivables are stored in the case of a digital medium.

(e)

Right to Inspect and Verify. The Administrative Agent (through any of its officers, employees, or agents and accompanied by any Lender or its designated representatives having requested to attend in the case of physical inspections) shall have the right, from time to time hereafter on reasonable notice unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) to inspect and audit the books and records of any Credit Party and make copies or abstracts thereof, during normal business hours, (ii) from time to time, to communicate directly with any and all Account Debtors, Obligors and any other Person (whether an insurer, insurance agency or insurance brokerage) owing Receivables to the Borrower to verify the existence and terms thereof, and (iii) from time to time, to check, test, and appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, in order to verify any of Grantor’s, Borrower’s, and Borrower’s Subsidiaries’ financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral; and each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each Grantor to, permit any designated representative of the Administrative Agent to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower or such Grantor, as applicable, to inspect and to discuss their respective finances and any of their respective properties and Collateral, during normal business hours. Each Grantor shall, reimburse/pay the Administrative Agent for any costs, expenses and charges which are or will be incurred by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of the foregoing provisions.

(f)

Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Obligations to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any other agreement or document relating to the Obligations, or as provided by Applicable Law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Obligations in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Obligations shall only be granted as provided herein or in the Credit Documents. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, neither the Administrative Agent, any Related Party of the Administrative Agent, the holders of the Obligations, nor

any party acting as attorney for the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Obligations, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than to the extent that any losses or liabilities with respect thereto are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Obligations under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Obligations may have.

(g)

Retention of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of Applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Obligation for any reason.

(h)

Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties are legally entitled, or entitled to hereunder or under any other Credit Document, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the default rate as set forth in Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement, together with any fees and expenses in connection therewith, as provided for in Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Obligations shall be returned to the Grantors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

(i)

Consent to Receiver. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or limiting in any way the rights of Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or otherwise under Applicable Laws, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to apply for and have a receiver or receiver and manager appointed under state or federal law by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by the Administrative Agent or Secured Parties to enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents in order to manage, protect, preserve, sell and otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of the Grantors or any of them, and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all reasonable expenses and other charges of such receivership, including the reasonable compensation of the receiver, and to the payment of the Loans and other Obligations until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO OR OTHERWISE CONTEST THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. EACH GRANTOR GRANTS SUCH WAIVER AND CONSENT KNOWINGLY AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS THEREOF WITH COUNSEL, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE UNCONTESTED RIGHT TO

HAVE A RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR THE FOREGOING PURPOSES IS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND SECURED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH APPOINTMENT AS A REMEDY UNDER THE FOREGOING CIRCUMSTANCES WAS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN INDUCING SECURED PARTIES TO PROVIDE (AND COMMIT TO PROVIDE) FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS TO BORROWERS, AND AGREES TO ENTER INTO ANY AND ALL STIPULATIONS IN ANY LEGAL ACTIONS, OR AGREEMENTS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING AND TO COOPERATE FULLY WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND SECURED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE ASSUMPTION AND EXERCISE OF CONTROL BY THE RECEIVER OVER ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE COLLATERAL AND PROPERTY OF THE BORROWERS AND THEIR SUBSIDIARIES. NO RIGHT CONFERRED UPON SECURED PARTIES OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY OR BY ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE EXCLUSIVE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THEREIN OR NOW OR HEREAFTER AVAILABLE AT LAW, IN EQUITY, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE.

10.

Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein each Grantor hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Grantor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take such action (or refrain from taking such action) in its sole discretion that the Administrative Agent believes is reasonable or necessary or customary to protect the Administrative Agent’s or any Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral or its rights hereunder or any other Credit Document, including, without limitation, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the Collateral (which any or all of the following actions shall be taken at the sole expense of the Grantors), during the continuance of an Event of Default (which power shall be in addition and supplemental to any powers, rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent described herein or otherwise available to the Administrative Agent under applicable law):

The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Related Party of the Administrative Agent shall be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. This power of attorney is conferred on

the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.

(b)

Assignment by the Administrative Agent.

(c)

Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent (and the other Secured Parties) shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Grantors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Grantors. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(d)

Liability with Respect to Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Grantors shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise to each such Account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of a Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(e)

Voting and Payment Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity.

(i)

So long as no Event of Default shall exist, each Grantor may (A) exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and (B) receive and retain any and all dividends (other than stock dividends and other dividends constituting Collateral which are addressed hereinabove), principal or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent such payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement; and

(ii)

Upon notice from the Administrative Agent to a Grantor, during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that no such notice shall be required upon the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default under Clauses (g) of Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement), (A) all rights of a Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i)(A) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, (B) all rights of a Grantor to receive the dividends, principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, principal and interest payments, and (C) all dividends, principal and interest payments which are received by a Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (ii)(B) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.

(f)

Each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, an IRREVOCABLE PROXY to, during the continuance of an Event of Default, vote all or any part of such Grantor’s Pledged Equity from time to time, in each case in any manner the Administrative Agent deems advisable in its sole discretion, either for or against any or all matters submitted, or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners, or members, as the case may be, and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges, and remedies to which any such shareholders, partners, or members would be entitled (including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents, ratifications, and waivers with respect to the Pledged Equity, calling special meetings of the holders of the Pledged Equity of any issuer and voting at such meetings). Such IRREVOCABLE PROXY will be re-granted three years after the date hereof (or such earlier time as the Administrative Agent may request from time to time). The irrevocable proxy granted hereby is effective immediately without the necessity that any other action (including, without limitation, that any transfer of any of the Pledged Equity be recorded on the books and records of the relevant Credit Party) be taken by any Person (including the relevant Credit Party of any Pledged Equity or any officer or agent thereof), is coupled

with an interest, and shall be irrevocable, shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution or winding up of any relevant Grantor, and shall terminate upon the payment in full of all Obligations in cash and the termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement; provided that, with respect to each Grantor, after all continuing Events of Default have been waived in writing or if such irrevocable proxy is rescinded in writing by the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to its Pledged Equity and all rights of the Administrative Agent to vote all or any part of such Pledged Equity will cease.

11.

Application of Proceeds. Any payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Obligations in the order and priority set forth in (or otherwise dictated by) the Credit Agreement.

12.

Continuing Agreement.

(a)

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Obligations in cash and the termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement, at which time this Agreement and all security interests granted hereunder shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Grantors, execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Grantors evidencing such termination.

(b)

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Obligations. This paragraph shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations in cash and the termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement.

13.

Amendments; Waivers; Modifications, etc. This Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

14.

Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Obligations hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Obligations and their successors and permitted assigns.

15.

Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in conformance with the notice provisions of the Credit Agreement.

16.

Counterparts. The signature pages to this Agreement may be transmitted and/or executed by facsimile or by electronic mail. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

17.

Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

18.

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The terms of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission to jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial (and where applicable, judicial reference) are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

19.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

20.

Entirety. This Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the other agreements and documents relating to the Obligations represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Credit Documents, any other agreements and documents relating to the Obligations, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

21.

Other Security. To the extent that any of the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including, without limitation, real property and securities owned by a Grantor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement during the continuance of any Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Obligations or any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties under this Agreement, under any other of the Credit Documents or under any other document relating to the Obligations.

22.

Rights of Certain Secured Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Credit Document, a Secured Party that is not the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall be a “Secured Party” solely for the purpose of identifying the Persons entitled to share in payments and collections from the Collateral as more fully set forth herein

and in the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no amounts are due to any such Secured Party unless such Secured Party has notified Administrative Agent of the amount of any such liability owed to it prior to such distribution.

23.

Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrowers that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

24.

Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, all payment and performance obligations of the Grantors arising under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be joint and several obligations of each Grantor secured by all the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may apply any portion of the Collateral to satisfy any of the Obligations.

25.

Waiver of Subrogation. If the Administrative Agent exercises any of the remedies referred to above in respect of any of the Collateral and applies any of the proceeds of any Collateral to any amounts owing to any of the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents, no Grantor shall, in respect of such monies, seek to enforce repayment, obtain the benefit of any security, be indemnified or receive Collateral from any Borrower or a contribution from any other Person, or exercise any other rights or legal remedies of any kind which may accrue to any Grantor against any Borrower, whether by way of subrogation, offset, counterclaim or otherwise, in respect of the amount so payable or so paid (or in respect of any other monies for the time being due to any Grantor from any Borrower) until the payment in full of all Obligations in cash and the termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement occurs; provided, however, that, in no circumstances shall any Grantor make a claim against any Collateral owned by any other Grantor prior to the occurrence of the payment in full of all Obligations in cash and the termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement. Each of the Grantors shall hold in trust for, and forthwith pay or transfer to, the Administrative Agent any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by such Grantor contrary to this Section 25.

26.

Marshalling. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurance of payment of, the Obligations or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder or in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. Each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of Collateral or other collateral security which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, or any other document or Instrument that creates, evidences, guaranties or secures any of the Obligations, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

27.

Waiver of Bond. Each Grantor hereby waives the posting of any bond otherwise required of the Administrative Agent in connection with any judicial process or proceeding (i) to

realize on the Collateral or any other security for its obligations hereunder, (ii) to enforce any judgment or other court order entered in favor of the Administrative Agent, or (iii) to enforce by specific performance, temporary restraining order, or preliminary or permanent injunction, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement or document between the Administrative Agent and such Grantor.

28.

Collateral Custodian. At the Administrative Agent’s option, the Borrower shall cause the original Premium Finance Agreement or other document or instrument evidencing a Receivable, if any, to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or to a third-party custodian acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, to hold on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to a custodian agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in Agent’s sole discretion, provided, that, with respect of the portion of the Collateral consisting of any Receivable that is evidenced by an electronic record that is a transferable record or otherwise under Applicable Laws, the Borrower shall (a) deliver to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to a custodial or other similar agreement acceptable to the Administrative Agent, “control” of such transferable electronic record in accordance with Applicable Law (to ensure, among other things, that the Administrative Agent has a first priority perfected Lien in such Collateral by the preferred method under Applicable Law), which shall be delivered, at the Borrower’s expense, to the Administrative Agent pursuant to such custodial or other agreement acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, held in the Administrative Agent’s or its appointed custodian’s possession, custody, and control until all of the Obligations have been fully satisfied or the Administrative Agent expressly agrees to release such documents and (b) identify (or cause the Administrative Agent’s appointed custodian or any applicable servicing agent to identify) on the related electronic record the pledge of such Receivable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided, further, that the Administrative Agent, custodian or other Person appointed by it to accept delivery of and maintain possession, custody, and control of all such Receivables and related documents and any instruments on behalf of the Administrative Agent during such period of time. If an original Premium Finance Agreement shall have been issued to the Borrower, at the Administrative Agent’s request, each such original evidencing a Receivable shall be duly endorsed in blank or otherwise assigned by Borrower or any other Person named as payee or indorsee of such item, in each case, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In the event that any other Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of an instrument or similar document, and if and to the extent that the Administrative Agent determines that perfection or priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest is dependent on or enhanced by possession, the Borrower, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, shall endorse and deliver physical possession of such Collateral to Agent or to a custodian chosen by the Administrative Agent to hold on behalf of the Administrative Agent.

Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

The Borrower promises to pay interest, payable on demand, on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Credit Agreement, overdue interest, from the respective due dates of such amounts at the default rate set forth in Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for the acceleration of the maturity of principal upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.

such Revolving Loan. The entries made in such schedule shall be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure to so record or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

This Revolving Note may only be assigned by the Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 of the Credit Agreement and its benefits shall inure to the successors, and permitted indorsees and assigns of the Lender.

This Revolving Note amends and restates (but does not extinguish or novate) that certain Revolving Note, dated October 5, 2018, executed by the Borrower in favor of the Lender, in the original stated amount of $25,000,000 (the “Original Note”). The Borrower hereby agrees that the execution of this Revolving Note shall in no manner vitiate, impair or affect the liens and security interests created and evidenced by the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, in each case, as in effect as of the date of the Original Note, and such liens and security interests shall not be and are not in any manner released or waived.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS REVOLVING NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED, AND ALL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS REVOLVING NOTE) WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THIS REVOLVING NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
