2.1 The Revolving Line of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Lender agrees to provide a line of credit to the Borrower in an amount equal to the Maximum Loan Amount during the Availability Period. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, which Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender at Closing. All advances to Borrower by the Lender under the Note shall be made by the Lender by deposit to the Loan Account.

(b) The proceeds from the Loan shall be used to finance Borrower’s purchase of Consumer Loans from its Parent pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Approved Purchase Agreement; provided, however, proceeds from the Loan may be distributed by the Borrower to the Parent for payment of operating costs so long as (i) such distribution shall not cause the Outstanding Loan Balance to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Documents or will occur based on such distribution. The proceeds of the Loan shall not be used for any acquisition, consolidation, merger, reorganization or similar type of transaction with any Person without the Lender’s prior written consent.

2.2 Availability Period. Provided that no Event of Default shall exist or be continuing, during the Availability Period, and upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender, proceeds may be disbursed by the Lender to the Borrower under the Note, repaid by the Borrower, and, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender, re-borrowed by the Borrower under the Note until the Term Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to borrow under the Note, and the Lender shall not be obligated to advance funds to the Borrower, more than one (1) time per thirty (30) day period and unless the Borrower has delivered a Compliance Certificate to the Lender within five (5) days prior to such advance. All advances under this Agreement shall be a minimum amount of Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) and not more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00).

2.3 Conversion to Term Loan. Unless this Agreement shall be terminated sooner as provided herein, the line of credit shall automatically convert to a term loan on the Term Conversion Date pursuant to the terms of the Note.

2.4 Interest.

(a) Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the Interest Rate, calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay and the Lender shall not collect interest on any Obligations at a rate in excess of the maximum permitted by law or the maximum that will not subject Lender to any civil or criminal penalties. If, because of the acceleration of maturity, the payment of interest in advance or any other reason, Borrower is required, under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under such provisions shall immediately and automatically be reduced to such maximum rate, and any payment made in excess of such maximum rate, together with interest thereon at the rate provided herein from the date of such payment, shall be immediately and automatically applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations as of the date on which such excess payment was made. If the amount to be so applied to reduction of the unpaid principal balance exceeds the unpaid principal balance, the amount of such excess shall be refunded by the Lender to the Borrower.

2.5 Payment. The Borrower shall repay the Loan as follows:

(a) Commencing on July 1, 2012, and continuing on the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter through and including the month in which the Term Conversion Date occurs, payments of accrued and unpaid interest on the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable in full.

(b) Commencing on January 1, 2014 and continuing on the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, payments of one hundred percent (100%) of the Consumer Loan Proceeds shall be applied to accrued and unpaid interest and the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

(c) On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay the outstanding principal and interest balance of the Loan, together with any costs, fees and expenses, without the need for future notice or demand.

2.6 ACH Transactions. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender, in its sole and exclusive discretion, to debit via ACH Transaction from the Loan Account any amount due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document. The Borrower acknowledges that any notice requirement to effect an ACH Transaction is satisfied by the Borrower’s notice of the time periods set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 2.5, except that if no Event of Default has occurred, the Lender shall provide the Borrower three (3) days notice prior to an ACH Transaction. All payments shall be applied to the Obligations in such manner as the Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion. All payments constituting proceeds of the Collateral and other payments received by the Lender will be immediately applied to the repayment of the Obligations then due (such credit being provisional until the Lender’s receipt of collected funds); provided that, in the event of any delay in the processing and/or receipt by the Lender of such payment, interest shall continue to accrue until the Lender’s actual receipt of such funds. The Borrower further agrees to execute such other agreements and authorizations that the Lender may request from time to time to allow the Lender to exercise its rights under this Section 2.6.

2.7 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment due the Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made by the Borrower (or withdrawn from the Loan Account in the Lender’s sole and exclusive discretion) on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.

2.8 Overadvance. If at any time the Outstanding Loan Balance shall exceed the Maximum Loan Amount, the Borrower shall, without demand or notice, immediately pay to the Lender such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess.

2.9 Loan Prepayments. The Outstanding Loan Balance may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

2.10 Refinance Event. Upon the occurrence of a Refinance Event, and provided an Event of Default has not occurred, the Lender agrees to subordinate its security interest in the Loans to the senior lender and modify the maturity date of the Loan to match the maturity date of the senior facility on the condition that (a) such facility allows for the Borrower to make regular monthly payments of accrued interest to the Lender, and (b) this Agreement shall be amended to provide, among other things, that it shall constitute an Event of Default if the total of the remaining principal amount of the Loan together with the outstanding amount of such facility exceeds ninety-five percent (95.0%) of all Eligible Consumer Loan Amounts.

2.11 Fees.

(a) Draw Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay the Lender a draw fee equal to one percent (1.0%) of the amount of any advance of funds under this Agreement.

(b) Field Exam Costs. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for the cost of periodic field examinations of the Borrower’s books, records and the Collateral, at such intervals as the Lender may require, not to exceed an annual cost of Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00). The actions described in this paragraph may be performed by employees of the Lender or by independent agents or reviewers.

(c) Late Fee. In the event that any payment of principal and/or interest due to the Lender is not received by the Lender on or before the tenth (10th) day after its due date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, immediately, without notice or demand, a late charge in an amount equal to the greater of Two-Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($2,500.00) or one-tenth (1/10th) of one percent (1%) of the unpaid principal balance as of the date the late charge is assessed for the purpose of defraying the costs incident to the processing and handling of the delinquent payment. The provision for such late charge shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to make any payment after its due date, obligate the lender to accept any overdue installment, or affect the Lender’s rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

2.12 Documentary Stamp Tax. The Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all liability for documentary excise taxes and intangible taxes (together with all interest, penalties, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith) that at any time may be levied, assessed or imposed by the State of Florida or any other governmental authority (a) upon the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any of the foregoing, or (c) upon the Lender by virtue of owning or holding any of the foregoing documents or instruments; all of which shall be secured by the security interest or other Lien granted by this Agreement. The provisions of this section survive the repayment of the Note and the termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents for so long as any claim may be asserted by the State of Florida or any other governmental authority.

3. COLLATERAL.

3.1 Collateral. As security for the payment of the Obligations and the satisfaction by the Borrower of all covenants and undertakings contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Lender, a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, the Collateral.

8.2 Rights and Remedies. In addition to all other rights, options, and remedies granted or available to the Lender under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity, upon an occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 8.1(e)), the Lender may, at its option, terminate this Agreement and declare the Loan and all other Obligations, including without limitation accrued interest, to be due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 8.1(e) above, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the Loan and all other Obligations, including without limitation accrued interest, shall immediately be due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. So long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and at all times thereafter, the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender, without any other notice to or demand upon the Borrower, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of Florida and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Lender may, so far as the Borrower can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Lender may in its discretion require the Borrower to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Borrower’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Lender may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Lender shall give to the Borrower at least ten (10) calendar days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that ten (10) calendar days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, the Borrower waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

8.3 Default Rate. To the extent permitted by law, whenever there is an Event of Default or non-payment upon demand, the rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall, at the option of the Lender, be the lesser of (i) three percent (3%) per annum above the interest rate payable under this Agreement or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be contracted for, charged or received (the “Default Rate”). The Borrower acknowledges that: (a) the Default Rate is a material inducement to the Lender to enter this Agreement; (b) the Lender would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of the agreement of the Borrower to pay the Default Rate; (c) the Default Rate represents compensation for increased risk to the Lender that the Obligations will not be repaid; and (d) the Default Rate is not a penalty and represents a reasonable estimate of (i) the cost to the Lender in allocating its resources (both personnel and financial) to the on-going review, monitoring, administration and collection of the Loan Documents, and (ii) compensation to the Lender for losses that are difficult to ascertain.

8.4 Securities and Deposits. The Lender may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Lender may, following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, demand, xxx for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise, which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Lender to the Borrower may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations then due and owing.

8.5 Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall, at the request and option of the Lender, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the Lender in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Lender or to any financial institution designated by the Lender as the Lender’s agent therefor, and the Lender may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon the Borrower, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, the Borrower shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Borrower as trustee for the Lender without commingling the same with other funds of the Borrower and shall turn the same over to the Lender in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Lender shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Lender to the Obligations.

8.6 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of the Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other persons obligated on the Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against the Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other persons obligated on the Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of the Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of the Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of the assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of the Collateral, or (1) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.6 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender would fulfill the Lender’s duties under the UCC or other law of Florida or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.6. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.6 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Borrower or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.6.

8.7 Marshalling. The Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Borrower hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

8.8 Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Lender in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Lender’s rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral following an Event of Default. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as the Lender may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of Florida, any excess shall be returned to the Borrower. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, the Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency.

8.9 No Conflicts with Enforcement. The parties acknowledge that the Profit Sharing Agreement shall not in any way affect Lender’s rights under this Agreement and as a creditor with respect to the Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower received proceeds of this Loan in an arm’s length transaction approved by Borrower and Borrower’s Parent, with the advice of independent separate counsel. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower will not be entitled to concessions, extensions or otherwise because of the Lender’s or its Affiliates’ relationship to Borrower.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

9.1 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy under any Loan Document. The remedies provided under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

9.2 Amendments. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any Loan Document or any provision thereof nor any consent shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and be signed by the Lender and the Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in any Loan Document, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall affect the payment of principal (including without limitation the date when due), or reduce any interest rate or any fee provided in this Agreement, or extend the Maturity Date.

9.3 Governing Law. The Loan Documents and all rights and obligations of the parties thereunder shall be governed by and be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

The Borrower may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Borrower agrees to comply with any direction given by the Lender to pay any portion of amounts due under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to any third party assignee or Participants in the Loan.

9.7 General.

9.8 Net Payments.

(a) All payments made to the Lender by the Borrower under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document will be made without set off, counterclaim or other defense. All payments by the Borrower will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature (including interest, penalties or similar liabilities) now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the gross or net income of the Lender) pursuant to the laws of the United States of America or any political subdivision, or taxing authority of the United States of America or any political subdivision, in which the principal office or applicable lending office of the Lender is located (collectively, together with any amounts payable pursuant to the next sentence, “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of the Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, under the Note or under any other Loan Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Agreement or in the Note. The Borrower will furnish to the Lender upon request certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Lender, and reimburse the Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid or withheld by the Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding the preceding subparagraph (a), the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold Taxes imposed by the United States of America (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof) from interest, fees or other amounts payable under this Agreement for the account of any Person other than the Lender (i) that is a domestic corporation (as such term is defined in Section 7701 of the Code) for federal income tax purposes (but excluding any foreign office of the Lender) or (ii) that has necessary forms on file with the Borrower for the applicable year to the extent deduction or withholding of such Taxes is not required as a result of the filing of such forms, provided that if the Borrower shall so deduct or withhold any Taxes, it shall provide a statement to the Lender, setting forth the amount of the Taxes so deducted or withheld, the applicable rate and any other information or documentation which the Lender may reasonably request for assisting the Lender to obtain any allowable credits or deductions for the taxes so deducted or withheld in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which the Lender is subject to tax.

9.9 Set-Offs and Application of Payments.

(a) The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent each may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights as fully as if the Participant were a direct creditor of the Borrower.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and the Borrower agree that all payments on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Lender as follows:

(1) First, to the Lender for any fees, costs or expenses incurred by the Lender under any of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, then due and payable and not reimbursed by the Borrower until such fees, costs and expenses are paid in full;

(2) Second, to the Lender for all interest then due and payable from the Borrower until such interest is paid in full;

9.10 Expenses of the Lender; Indemnification of the Lender.

(a) The Borrower will from time to time reimburse the Lender promptly following demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with (i) the preparation of the Loan Documents and any amendments or modifications, or (ii) the enforcement of the Loan Documents following an Event of Default, including post-bankruptcy fees.

(b) In addition to the payment of the foregoing expenses, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, protect and hold the Lender and any holder of any Loan Document and the officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and attorneys of the Lender (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature, including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitee by the Borrower or other third parties and arise out of or relate to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other matter whatsoever related to the transactions contemplated by or referred to in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee to the extent that the liability incurred by the Indemnitee has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee. The provisions of this Section 9.10(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.11 Suretyship/Waivers by Borrower. The Borrower waives demand, notice, protest, and notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, the Borrower assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Lender may deem advisable. The Lender shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto. The Borrower further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

9.12 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements.

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the latest to occur of the Maturity Date, or the payment in full and performance of the Obligations.

9.13 Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction.

9.14 No Fiduciary Relationship. No provision in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by the Lender to the Borrower. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3 OF THIS AGREEMENT CONTAIN THE GRANT OF POWERS OF ATTORNEY BY THE BORROWER COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF THE LENDER. THIS AGREEMENT IS BEING EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH A LOAN OR OTHER FINANCIAL TRANSACTION FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES AND NOT PRIMARILY FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES. THE LENDER, AS AGENT FOR THE BORROWER UNDER THE POWERS OF ATTORNEY, IS NOT A FIDUCIARY FOR THE BORROWER. THE LENDER, IN EXERCISING ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR POWERS PURSUANT TO THE POWERS OF ATTORNEY, MAY DO SO FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF THE LENDER AND NOT FOR THE BORROWER. THE BORROWER HAS NEVERTHELESS READ, UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ACCEPTS AND AGREES TO SUCH PROVISIONS CONTAINING POWERS OF ATTORNEY RECOGNIZING THAT CERTAIN IMPORTANT RIGHTS MAY BE RELINQUISHED IF ANY SUCH POWERS ARE EXERCISED.

9.15 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, Florida, or the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE NOTE, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL ONLY BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

9.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREBY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE TRANSACTION, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOAN. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
