ARTICLE 7
SECURITY AGREEMENT AND COLLATERAL
Section 7.1. Grant of Lien and Security Interest. In consideration of the Loan Obligations, and as security therefor, Borrower hereby grants, bargains, sells, conveys, assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender a Lien and security interest in, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, wherever located, and whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, it being the intent that the Lien and security interest granted hereby shall secure the payment and performance of the Loan Obligations.
Section 7.2. Perfection of Security Interests. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time to complete, sign or authenticate in Borrower's name, and file financing statements describing the Collateral and containing such other information as Lender deems appropriate. In addition to, and not in limitation of the foregoing authorization, Borrower expressly authorizes the filing of a UCC-1 Financing Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition, at the request of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx will execute financing statements in form and number reasonably satisfactory to Lender and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices where filing is deemed by Lender to be necessary.
Section 7.3. Further Assurances. Borrower shall do, make, execute, and deliver to Lender all such additional and further acts, things, assignments, assurances, and instruments as Lender may reasonably require to more completely vest in and assure to Lender its rights hereunder and in or to the Collateral and the proceeds and products thereof. Borrower will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral or any part thereof, upon its use or operation thereof, upon the proceeds or products thereof, upon this Agreement, and upon any note or notes evidencing the Loan Obligations. At its option, Lender may discharge any taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral or any part thereof and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral, but Lender shall not be under any duty to exercise any such authority. Xxxxxxxx agrees to reimburse Lender, upon demand, for any payment made or any expense incurred by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization. All sums expended by Xxxxxx which Xxxxxxxx is obligated to reimburse Lender under this Agreement shall bear interest from the date reimbursement is due until the date paid in full in cash at the agreed contractual rate, as such rate shall change from time to time, but in any event not more than the Highest Lawful Rate. All such sums and the interest thereon shall be secured by the security interest granted by the Loan Documents and, if not paid when due, shall be added to the principal balance of the then-outstanding Loan Obligations and interest shall thereafter accrue on such sum at the interest rate specified above unless prohibited by law.
Section 7.4. Collateral Condition and Location. Borrower will take such steps as are necessary to ensure that Xxxxxx’s security interest is perfected with respect to each item of the Collateral and that such security interests are of record in all appropriate jurisdictions as first liens at the time the Loan is funded. Borrower shall timely supply Lender with evidence of the satisfaction of such requirements. Borrower will not remove any item of Collateral from the location(s) indicated on Exhibit D without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld or conditioned at Lender’s sole discretion. Borrower will keep the Collateral secured, in good condition, make all necessary repairs, use their best efforts to prevent any act which might impair the value of the Collateral and will defend Xxxxxx’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers will not change their principal place of business or residence, as the case may be, without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Xxxxxx. Upon Xxxxxx’s request, Xxxxxxxx will attach to its records a notation satisfactory to Lender of Xxxxxx’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will not, and will not permit any third party to, reframe, restore or repair any property without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 7.5. Possession by Third Parties. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4 above, Borrower will cause any third party in possession of any item of Collateral to execute and deliver to Lender such warehouse or bailment agreements as shall be satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion.
Section 7.6. Termination. At any time when no Loan Obligations remain outstanding, no Loan Obligations are unperformed and there exists no commitment on the part of Lender to enter into any other or future Loan Obligation, upon written demand of Borrower, Lender will file, or at Xxxxxx's election will furnish to Borrower for filing, a termination statement with respect to its security interest in the Collateral. Upon the filing, or furnishing to Borrower for filing, of such a termination statement which has been duly executed on behalf of Lender, this Agreement shall terminate. Prior to such termination, this shall be a continuing agreement in every respect.

The rights of each Lender under this section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Lender or its Affiliates may have.

Section 8.17. Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Loan, it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by Xxxxxx on the principal amount of the Loan Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Loan Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by Lender to Borrower); and (b) in the event that the maturity of the Loan is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by Xxxxxx on the principal amount of the Loan Obligation (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Loan Obligation shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by Lender to Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loan hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Lender pursuant to this section and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Lender, then the amount of interest payable to Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Lender until the total amount of interest payable to Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this section.
Section 8.18. EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.”
