SECTION 9. REMEDIES

From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default:

9.1 Termination of Advances and Acceleration. Bank may, at its sole option cease making Advances under this Loan Agreement and/or declare the principal of and interest on the Loan and all other obligations due by Borrower hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything in this Loan Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and all amounts hereunder shall then be immediately due and payable.

9.2 Collateral. With respect to the Collateral, Bank may:

(a) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale. Bank shall give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as follows:

(1) Bank shall give Borrower notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; and

(2) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 10 below, at least ten (10) days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market; provided, however, that Bank may credit bid and purchase the Collateral at any public sale.

(b) Bank may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession and operate, as applicable all or any portion of the Collateral, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing;

(c) Bank shall have all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity pursuant to any other loan documents execution in connection herewith. The rights and remedies of Bank hereunder shall be cumulative, and not exclusive.

9.3 Application of Proceeds Upon Disposition of Collateral. Apply, at Bank’s option, the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral as well as all sums received or collected by Bank from or on account of such Collateral and/or additional or substitute collateral to (a) the payment of reasonable expenses incurred or paid by Bank in connection with any sale, transfer or delivery of the Collateral and/or such additional or substitute collateral, and (b) the payment of the obligations or any part thereof, all in such order or manner as Bank in its sole discretion may determine, irrespective of the date of maturity. All acts done or to be done by Bank in conformity with the powers herein granted are hereby ratified and confirmed by Borrower. Borrower agrees to pay

to Bank any deficiency in the event the proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Collateral are insufficient to satisfy the Loan obligations in full and Bank shall have the right to xxx Borrower for such deficiency.

9.4 Right to Income. Unless such Event of Default is waived in writing by Bank, Bank may, at its sole discretion, collect, receive and receipt for all income, interest, earnings or profits (including any dividends) now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral without any responsibility however for its failure to do so. The sums or property so collected or received by Bank on account of the Collateral, and pursuant to this Section 9.4, shall be held and retained by Bank as further security for the Obligations and shall be deemed automatically to be Collateral under this Loan Agreement.

9.5 Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit. Bank may, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in this Section or otherwise, make demand upon Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand Borrower will, pay to Bank in same-day funds, for deposit in such account as Bank shall specify (the “L/C Cash Collateral Account”), an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding. The L/C Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name and under the sole dominion and control of Bank. Bank shall have no obligation to invest any amounts on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. Borrower grants to Bank, a lien on and security interest in the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein as collateral security for the performance of its obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other loan documents. Bank shall have all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein.

9.6 Right to Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Bank is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice to Borrower, or to any other person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by Bank, its branches, subsidiaries or affiliates, for the credit or the account of Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Bank under this Loan Agreement and any other loan document, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Loan Agreement or any other loan document, irrespective of whether or not: (a) Bank shall have made any demand hereunder; or (b) Bank shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loan and the Loan Agreement and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable.

9.7 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees that so long as Bank complies with its obligations, if any, under the Uniform Commercial Code as in

effect from time to time in the State of Florida, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (c) any diminution in the value thereof, (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other persons, and all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
