(d) Intermediary will not be liable to Debtor for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control, entitlement order or other direction originated by Secured Party, even if Debtor notifies Intermediary that Secured Party is not legally entitled to issue the entitlement order, Notice of Exclusive Control or other direction. Intermediary need not investigate whether Secured Party is entitled to give an entitlement order, Notice of Exclusive Control or other direction.

(e) Debtor shall promptly cause any interest, dividends, securities or other property received by Debtor itself with respect to any Collateral to be placed into the Account, but Debtor may thereafter withdraw any such property if otherwise allowed hereby.

(b) Debtor agrees not to (or to direct or authorize Intermediary to) sell or otherwise dispose of any other securities or assets now or hereafter in the Account in order to purchase additional NT Corp Stock (whether or not held in the Account), unless after any such sale or other disposition Debtor will be in compliance with the Minimum Liquidity Balance and no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing. Additional NT Corp Stock may be added to the Account with funds not part of or proceeds of the Account if and only if at such time the Minimum Liquidity Balance is met and no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) Debtor agrees not to hold any Commingled Funds in the Account unless Secured Party (in its capacity as such) specifically consents to such holding in writing.

(x) To Debtor’s actual knowledge, all Collateral is duly and validly authorized and issued, non-assessable, fully paid and paid for, and outstanding.

(xi) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all Related Documents are in Debtor’s best interest in its current and future operations and will materially benefit Debtor. Debtor has received adequate, fair and valuable consideration, and at least reasonably equivalent value, to enter into and perform this Agreement and all Related Documents. Debtor’s assets at fair valuation exceed the sum of Debtor’s debts. Debtor is able to pay its debts as they become due. Debtor does not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct its business.

(b) The request or application for any Liabilities by Debtor shall be a representation and warranty by Debtor as of the date of such request or application that: (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of such date; and (ii) Debtor's representations and warranties herein and in any Related Document are true and correct as of such date as though made on such date.

10. DIRECT HOLDINGS OF CERTIFICATED AND UNCERTIFICATED SECURITIES.

(a) This Section applies to: (i) certificated securities (if any) in the Account registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially indorsed to Debtor, and which have not been subsequently indorsed to Intermediary or in blank; and (ii) uncertificated securities (if any) therein which are registered in Debtor’s name on the issuer’s books. This Section supplements any actions by or rights of Intermediary pursuant to any agreement between Intermediary and Debtor governing the Account.

(b) As to any such certificated securities in the Account:

(i) Debtor agrees to deliver to Intermediary the related certificates and to execute and deliver to Intermediary stock or bond powers in blank plus other related documents, all in such form as Secured Party or Intermediary request.

(ii) Secured Party and Intermediary may at any time take such other actions as they deem necessary or appropriate, including: (A) appointment of sub-agents or depositories to retain physical possession of such certificates, which may in Secured Party’s discretion be held in the name of Secured Party, any such sub-agent or depository, or any nominee of the foregoing; (B) transferring such certificates into a “pledge position” or the like at any such sub-agent or depository; and (C) exchanging certificates for certificates of smaller or larger denominations.

(i) Debtor agrees to execute and deliver, and to cause the issuer of such uncertificated securities to execute and deliver, to Secured Party a control agreement in such form as Secured Party may require, in addition to the Control Agreement regarding the Account.

(ii) Secured Party and Intermediary may at any time cause such securities to be registered in Intermediary’s, Secured Party’s or street name, or the like.

(d) Without limiting Secured Party’s and Intermediary’s rights under (a)-(c) or any other provision hereof or of the Control Agreement regarding the Account: (i) Debtor agrees (and authorizes Secured Party and Intermediary) to take or cause to be taken such actions, and execute or cause to be executed such documents and instruments, in connection with Secured Party’s security interest in such certificated and uncertificated securities as Secured Party or Intermediary may reasonably require; and (ii) Debtor hereby appoints Secured Party and Intermediary as Debtor's attorneys-in-fact, which appointment is and shall be deemed to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest, for purposes of performing acts and signing and delivering any document or instrument on behalf of Debtor in order to effectuate this Section. Debtor immediately will reimburse Secured Party and Intermediary for all expenses so incurred. Debtor directs the issuers of, or any depository, registrar, transfer agent or similar party with respect to any of, such securities to accept the provisions hereof (without inquiry of any kind) as conclusive evidence of the right of Secured Party and Intermediary to take any action referenced above, and agrees to hold them harmless for doing so, notwithstanding any notice or direction to the contrary previously or hereafter given by Debtor or any other person.

(e) Debtor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in such certificated and uncertificated securities pursuant hereto and such certificated and uncertificated securities shall be subject to the other terms hereof, as in the case of other Collateral, even if under the UCC or other applicable law Debtor is treated as holding such securities directly rather than as having a security entitlement with respect thereto.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, at Secured Party’s option such certificated and uncertificated securities shall not be included in determining compliance with the Minimum Liquidity Balance until any actions required by Secured Party or Intermediary pursuant to this Section and corresponding provisions of the Control Agreement are completed to Secured Party’s satisfaction.

11. GENERAL COVENANTS. Debtor agrees that so long as this Agreement remains in effect, it will:

(a) NOTIFY SECURED PARTY IN WRITING AT LEAST SIXTY (60) DAYS IN ADVANCE OF: (i) ANY CHANGE WHATSOEVER IN THE NAME OF DEBTOR; (ii) ANY CHANGE WHATSOEVER IN THE STATE OR JURISDICTION IN WHICH DEBTOR IS ORGANIZED OR FORMED OR, IF DEBTOR IS A NATURAL PERSON, IN WHICH DEBTOR’S PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE IS LOCATED; (iii) ANY NEW NAMES UNDER WHICH DEBTOR INTENDS TO DO BUSINESS; AND (iv) ANY NEW ADDRESSES AT OR FROM WHICH DEBTOR INTENDS TO DO BUSINESS. IF DEBTOR IS A REGISTERED ORGANIZATION, SUCH AS A CORPORATION, LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, OR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, DEBTOR AGREES TO NOTIFY SECURED PARTY IMMEDIATELY IF DEBTOR’S STATE OR JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION DISSOLVES, SUSPENDS OR TERMINATES DEBTOR’S EXISTENCE OR PRIVILEGES, OR NOTIFIES DEBTOR THAT IT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. IF DEBTOR IS A NATURAL PERSON THE FOREGOING PORTION OF THIS (a) DOES NOT LIMIT DEBTOR’S AGREEMENTS IN SUBSECTION (a)(i)(C) OF THE SECTION ENTITLED “REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.”

(b) Defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons other than Secured Party and promptly pay all taxes, assessments, and charges upon the Collateral. Debtor agrees not to sign, file, or authenticate, or authorize or permit the signing, filing or authentication of, any financing statements or other documents creating or perfecting a lien upon or security interest in any Collateral except in favor of Secured Party, or otherwise create, suffer, or permit to exist any liens, claims or security interests upon any Collateral other than in favor of Secured Party, except tax liens if removed before related taxes become delinquent.

(c) Do such acts as Secured Party may request to establish and maintain a valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral free and clear of all other liens, claims, or security interests except as specifically permitted hereby.

(d) Keep at its address for notices set forth in the preamble hereto its records concerning the Account, which records shall be of such character as will enable Secured Party to determine at any time the status thereof; and permit Secured Party, during normal business hours and upon at least three days’ prior notice unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from time to time to inspect, audit, and make copies of, and extracts from, all records and all other papers in the possession or control of Debtor pertaining to the Account.

(e) Provide to Secured Party from time to time such financial statements of and other information concerning the Collateral, Debtor, and any Related Party as Secured Party shall reasonably request.

(f) Except if and to the extent permitted hereby, not sell, transfer, lease, grant a license or option or similar right with respect to, or otherwise dispose of, or agree to dispose of, any Collateral.

12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

(a) (i) failure to pay, when and as due, any principal payable on any of the Liabilities; (ii) failure to pay, when and as due, any interest or other amounts payable on any of the Liabilities; or (iii) failure to comply with or perform any agreement or covenant of Debtor or any Related Party contained herein or in any Related Document, which failure does not otherwise constitute an Event of Default, subject to any applicable notice, grace or cure period; or

(b) any default, event of default, or similar event shall occur or continue under any Related Document, and shall continue beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure period set forth in such Related Document; or

(c) there shall occur any default or event of default, any similar event, any event that requires the prepayment of borrowed money or permits the acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any event or condition that might become any of the foregoing with notice or the passage of time or both, under the terms of any evidence of indebtedness or other agreement issued or assumed or entered into by Debtor or any Related Party, or under the terms of any document or instrument under which any such evidence of indebtedness or other agreement is issued, assumed, secured, or guaranteed, and such event shall continue beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure period; or

(d) any representation, warranty, certificate, financial statement, report, notice, or other writing furnished by or on behalf of Debtor or any Related Party to Secured Party is false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified; or

(e) this Agreement or any Related Document, including any guaranty of or pledge of collateral security for the Liabilities, shall be repudiated or shall become unenforceable or incapable of performance in accord with its terms; or

(f) Debtor or any Related Party (in each case if not a natural person) shall fail to maintain their existence in good standing in their state of organization or formation or shall fail to be duly qualified, in good standing and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the assets, condition or prospects of Debtor or any Related Party; or

(g) Debtor or any Related Party shall die, be declared legally incompetent, dissolve, liquidate, merge, consolidate, or cease to be in existence for any reason; or, if Debtor is a partnership or joint venture, any general or limited partner or joint venturer of Debtor shall withdraw from Debtor, or any general partner shall become a limited partner; or the trust under any Trust Agreement shall terminate in whole or in part or be the subject of a distribution of other than income but, in the case of a distribution, only if such distribution would otherwise cause an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default to occur; or

(h) except for a successor trustee under any Trust Agreement, any person presently not in control of a Debtor or Related Party which is not a natural person shall obtain control directly or indirectly of such a Debtor or Related Party, whether by purchase or gift of stock or assets, by contract, or otherwise; or

(i) any proceeding (judicial or administrative) shall be commenced against Debtor or any Related Party, or with respect to any of their assets, which would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of Debtor to repay the Liabilities; or a judgment or settlement shall be entered or agreed to in any such proceeding which would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of Debtor to repay the Liabilities; or any garnishment, summons, writ of attachment, citation, levy or the like is issued against or served upon Secured Party for the attachment of any property of Debtor or any Related Party in Secured Party’s possession or control; or

(j) Debtor shall grant or any person (other than Secured Party) shall obtain or perfect a security interest in, or file any financing statement covering, any Collateral; Secured Party shall not have a perfected security interest in any Collateral or other assets constituting security for the Liabilities, of first-priority and enforceable in accord with this Agreement (as to the Collateral) or the related collateral documents (as to such other assets); or any notice of a federal tax lien against Debtor or any Related Party shall be filed with any public recorder; or

(k) there shall be any material loss or depreciation in the value of any Collateral or any other assets constituting security for the Liabilities for any reason (except that the preceding part of this subsection shall not apply if Debtor and any Related Party are in compliance with any Minimum Liquidity Balance or other specific borrowing base or like requirement under this Agreement and all Related Documents); or Secured Party shall otherwise reasonably deem itself insecure; or, unless expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Related Documents, all or any part of any Collateral or any other assets constituting security for the Liabilities, or any direct, indirect, legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein, is assigned, transferred or sold without Secured Party’s prior written consent; or

(l) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding, domestic or foreign, is instituted by or against Debtor or any Related Party, and, if instituted against Debtor or any Related Party, shall not be dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days after the filing or other institution thereof; or

(m) Debtor or any Related Party shall become insolvent, generally shall fail or be unable to pay its debts as they mature, shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, shall enter into any composition or similar agreement, or shall suspend the transaction of all or a substantial portion of its usual business.

13. DEFAULT REMEDIES.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in (a)-(k) of the Section entitled “EVENTS OF DEFAULT,” Secured Party at its option may declare the Liabilities (principal, interest and other amounts) immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY DEBTOR (except as and if otherwise specifically set forth herein), whereupon the entire unpaid principal balance of the Liabilities, all interest accrued thereon, and any other Liabilities shall thereupon at once mature and become due and payable. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in (l)-(m) of the Section entitled “EVENTS OF DEFAULT,” all Liabilities (principal, interest and other amounts) shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without notice, demand or other action of any kind, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY DEBTOR. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party may exercise any rights and remedies under this Agreement or any Related Document (including any Related Document pertaining to collateral), and at law or in equity. The time of payment of the Liabilities is also subject to acceleration if an Event of Default occurs.

(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, in addition to having the right to exercise any rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in Florida and any state in which any Collateral is located, Secured Party may, in its sole discretion:

(i) without being required to give any prior notice to Debtor apply the cash (if any) then held by it hereunder toward the Liabilities in such order as Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion; and

(ii) if there shall be no such cash or the cash so applied shall be insufficient to pay all obligations in full, sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, as Secured Party shall deem appropriate, provided, however, that Debtor shall be credited with proceeds thereof only when the proceeds are actually received in cash by Secured Party, and such sale shall be deemed commercially reasonable. Secured Party shall be authorized at any such sale (to the extent it deems it advisable to do so, in its sole discretion) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral then being sold for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Debtor. Debtor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Secured Party has no obligation to marshal Collateral or to clean up or otherwise prepare Collateral for sale, and may specifically disclaim any warranties as to the Collateral, including those of title, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose. Secured Party may comply with any applicable local, state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of Collateral, and compliance will not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral. Debtor grants to Secured Party the right to enter into or on any premises where Collateral may be located for the purposes of exercising any remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as Debtor requests in writing, but failure to do so shall not be deemed a failure to exercise ordinary care; no failure of Secured Party to preserve or protect any right with respect to Collateral against prior parties shall be deemed of itself a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of Collateral. To the extent that notice of sale shall be required to be given by law, Secured Party shall give Debtor at least ten days' written notice of any such public sale or the date after which any such private sale or sales will be held, and such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of Collateral may have been given. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold; in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, Secured Party may proceed by a suit at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except as and if otherwise required by law, any proceeds of the Collateral sold or disposed of pursuant hereto shall be applied toward the Liabilities in such order as Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion. Any balance remaining shall be returned to Debtor or the party lawfully entitled thereto.

(c) Secured Party may, by written notice to Debtor, at any time and from time to time, waive any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, which shall be for such period and subject to such conditions as shall be specified in any such notice. In the case of any such waiver, Secured Party and Debtor shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder, and any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default so waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to or impair any subsequent or other Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Secured Party of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of Secured Party herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

(d) As to any Liabilities owed to any Secured Party Affiliate, Secured Party shall act as collateral agent for such Secured Party Affiliate and shall take or refrain from taking action, and shall distribute proceeds of Collateral and other amounts recovered hereunder or under any Related Document between such Secured Party Affiliate and Secured Party, as they shall from time to time agree. Except as and if required by law Debtor shall have no obligation or right whatsoever to inquire into any agreements or arrangements between Secured Party and any Secured Party Affiliate as to Secured Party’s acting as collateral agent for any Secured Party Affiliate.

14. RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTY. Without limiting any other rights Secured Party has under the law, Secured Party may, from time to time, at its option (but shall have no duty to):

(a) perform any agreement of Debtor hereunder that Debtor shall have failed to perform;

(b) take any other action which Secured Party deems necessary or desirable for the preservation of the Collateral or Secured Party's interest therein and the carrying out of this Agreement, including: (i) any action to collect or realize upon the Collateral; (ii) the discharge of taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral; (iii) the discharge or keeping current of any obligation of Debtor having effect on the Collateral; (iv) receiving, endorsing and collecting all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to Debtor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution payable or distributable in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, and giving full discharge for the same; and (v) causing any person having possession of any Collateral to acknowledge that such person holds such Collateral for the benefit of Secured Party; and

(c) sign, file and authenticate financing statements and related documents covering the Collateral in all public offices deemed necessary or appropriate by Secured Party.

Debtor hereby appoints Secured Party as Debtor's attorney in fact, which appointment is and shall be deemed to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest, for purposes of performing acts and signing and delivering any agreement, document, or instrument on behalf of Debtor in accordance with this Section. Debtor immediately will reimburse Secured Party for all expenses so incurred by Secured Party.

15. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL; WAIVER OF DEFENSES. No fact or circumstance whatsoever which might at law or in equity constitute a discharge or release of, or defense to or offset against the obligations of, a co-signer, accommodation party, guarantor or surety shall limit or affect any obligations of Debtor under this Agreement or any Related Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) Secured Party may at any time and from time to time, without notice to Debtor, take any or all of the following actions without affecting or impairing the liability of Debtor under this Agreement and any Related Document:

(i) renew or extend time of payment of the Liabilities;

(ii) accept, substitute, release or surrender any security for the Liabilities; and

(iii) release any person primarily or secondarily liable on the Liabilities (including Borrower, any Credit Support Party, and any other Related Party).

(b) No delay in enforcing payment of the Liabilities, nor any amendment, waiver, change, or modification of any terms of any Related Document, shall release Debtor from any obligation hereunder. The obligations of Debtor under this Agreement are and shall be primary, continuing, unconditional and absolute (notwithstanding that at any time or from time to time all of the Liabilities may have been paid in full), irrespective of the value, genuineness, regularity, validity or enforceability of any Related Documents. In order to hold Debtor liable or exercise rights or remedies hereunder, there shall be no obligation on the part of Secured Party, at any time, to resort for payment to Borrower or any Related Party or to any other security for the Liabilities. Secured Party shall have the right to enforce this Agreement irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps are being taken against any other property securing the Liabilities or any other party primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities.

(c) Except as and if otherwise specifically set forth herein, Debtor irrevocably waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand, diligence, grace, notice of dishonor or default, notice of nonpayment, notice of acceptance, notice of any loans made, extensions granted or other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Liabilities.

(d) Until all Liabilities have been paid and fulfilled in full and no committed or uncommitted credit facility has been extended to Debtor or Borrower by Secured Party or any Secured Party Affiliate, Debtor waives the exercise of any claim or other right which Debtor might now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other person primarily or contingently liable on the Liabilities (including any Related Party) or that arises from the existence or performance of Debtor's obligations under this Agreement or any Related Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim or remedy of Secured Party against Borrower or any other collateral security for the Liabilities, which Secured Party now has or hereafter acquires, however arising.

(e) If any person other than Debtor or Borrower (any such person, a “Third Party Obligor”) shall be obligated in respect of the Liabilities, as a pledgor, a guarantor or otherwise, and shall make any payment in respect of the Liabilities, Debtor agrees, after payment in full of the Liabilities and termination of all commitments by Secured Party and Secured Party Affiliates to extend credit to Debtor or Borrower, to make a contribution to any such Third Party Obligor. The amount of the contribution made by Debtor shall be an amount sufficient to cause the contributions for payments on the Liabilities made by Debtor and all such Third Party Obligors to be proportionate to the respective benefits received by Debtor and the Third Party Obligors. Nothing in this subsection (e) shall limit the obligations of Debtor to Secured Party and Secured Party Affiliates hereunder.

16. SECURED PARTY MAY ALSO BE INTERMEDIARY OR FIDUCIARY. Debtor hereby irrevocably waives, releases and forever relinquishes any claim or right of any nature whatsoever based upon the fact that Intermediary or a trustee or other fiduciary of any Debtor or Related Party is or may be Secured Party itself or a Secured Party Affiliate, and irrevocably consents to any such circumstance. The rights and powers of Secured Party shall not in any way be restricted by reason of any such present or future circumstance.

17. ARM’S LENGTH TRANSACTIONS. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) The transactions contemplated by the Related Documents are arm's length commercial transactions among Debtor, Secured Party and any other parties thereto.

(b) In connection with such transactions, Secured Party is acting solely as a principal and not as an agent or a fiduciary of Debtor or any Related Party.

(c) With respect to any advances of Liabilities or the process leading thereto (whether or not Secured Party or any Secured Party Affiliate has advised or is currently advising Debtor or any Related Party on other matters), Secured Party has not assumed a fiduciary responsibility in favor of Debtor or any Related Party or any other obligation of Debtor or any Related Party.

(d) Debtor and the Related Parties have consulted with their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deem appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents.

18. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Debtor agrees to do (or cause to be done) such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements, and instruments, as Secured Party may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Agreement or related to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order better to assure and confirm unto Secured Party its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

19. INVESTMENT DECISIONS. Secured Party in its capacity as Secured Party shall have no duty or obligation to Debtor as to any adverse economic, investment, tax or other losses or consequences incurred due to actions or omissions by Secured Party with regard to purchasing, holding, redeeming or selling Collateral while the same shall be under Secured Party’s control.

20. NOTICES. Except as and if otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall deemed to have been given or made five business days after a record has been deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or one business day after a record has been deposited with a recognized overnight courier, charges prepaid or to be billed to the sender, or on the day of delivery if delivered manually with receipt acknowledged, in each case addressed or delivered:

21. MISCELLANEOUS. Except as and if otherwise specifically agreed in any Related Document, and to the extent, if any, that the UCC or other law provides for the application of the law of a different state, this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be: (i) governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law of the State of Florida; and (ii) deemed to have been executed in the State of Florida. This Agreement shall bind Debtor, its(his)(her) heirs, trustees (including successor and replacement trustees), executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns, as well as all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns, except that neither Debtor nor any person who or which becomes bound as a debtor hereto may transfer or assign any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Secured Party. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Debtor agrees to pay upon demand all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, legal costs and expenses, and time charges of attorneys who may be employees of Secured Party, in each case whether in or out of court, in original or appellate proceedings or in bankruptcy) incurred or paid by Secured Party in connection with the enforcement or preservation of its rights hereunder or under any Related Document. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and (if there is more than one party) by each party on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement, whether with or without the remainder hereof, by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is, and is intended to take effect as, an instrument under seal. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision, the applicability of such provision in any other instance, or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Secured Party is hereby authorized by Debtor without notice to Debtor to fill in any blank spaces and dates herein or in any Related Document to conform to the terms of the transaction and/or understanding evidenced hereby. This Agreement may not be amended, waived or terminated without the prior written consent of Secured Party, and shall remain in effect notwithstanding that at any particular time there shall be no Liabilities outstanding. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time a payment made to Secured Party is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Debtor, as though such payment had not been made. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATED DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

22. NO PUNITIVE DAMAGES. NO PARTY HERETO MAY SEEK OR RECOVER PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO SECURED PARTY TO EXTEND CREDIT SECURED BY THE COLLATERAL.

23. AUTHORIZATION TO RECORD PHONE CALLS. FOR ITSELF AS WELL AS ANY RELATED PARTY AND ANY AGENT, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, MANAGER, MEMBER, OFFICER, OR PARTNER OF DEBTOR, AS APPLICABLE, DEBTOR IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SECURED PARTY’S RECORDING OF ANY TELEPHONE CONVERSATION PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Debtor hereby agrees to take any action necessary to enable Secured Party to comply with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.
