| Page 4 of 7 |
Failure to exercise any and all rights or remedies Lender may have in the event of any event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such rights or remedies in the event of any subsequent event of Default, whether of the same or different nature. No waiver of any right or remedy by Lender shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by Xxxxxx, nor shall any waiver on one occasion apply to any future occasion.
17. Waivers. Borrower and each Guarantor each hereby waive: (a) any requirement for Lender to marshal the Collateral or to resort to the Collateral in any particular order; (b) the right to extend or excuse performance of any of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s Obligations based on force majeure; and (c) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the benefits and advantages of any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable.
18. Discharge and Payoff. In recognition of the Lender’s right to have its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Borrower, Lender shall not be required to file terminations or satisfactions of any of Lender’s liens on the Collateral unless and until Borrower and all Guarantors shall have provided general releases in favor of Lender, in form satisfactory to Lender. Borrower understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under Section 9-513 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
19. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay on the part of Lender in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies that may be available to Lender, whether at law, in equity or otherwise. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver of any rights of Lender under this Agreement or in respect of the Collateral or the Obligations.
20. Indemnity. Borrower assumes liability for and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless Lender and its agents, from and against any and all liabilities, claims, losses, Obligations, damages, penalties, actions, and suites of whatsoever kind and nature imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender or its agents, in any way relating to or growing out of this Agreement, the Note or the Collateral (including without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement and the Note or disposition of the Collateral), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
21. Right of First Refusal. In consideration of the Lender providing the Loan to the Borrower, Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees that it will, within two (2) days of receipt, provide a copy of any proposal letter, term sheet, letter of intent or commitment letter from any Lender offering to Borrower a refinance of the Loan. Lender shall have the right of first refusal to match the offer(s) of such other Lender(s) within two (2) days of receipt thereof, with a non-response being considered a rejection of such offer(s), and if Lender advises Borrower that it intends to meet the financial and other material terms set forth in such offer(s), Borrower will be obligated to enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the Note extending the terms of this Agreement and the Note for at least the term proposed in such other offer(s), and amending the financial and other material terms set forth in this Agreement and the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower recognizes that this Agreement and the Note can only be terminated as provided herein and therein. Failure of Lender to meet the terms set forth in such letter of interest or commitment letter does not relieve the Borrower from its Obligations hereunder.
22. Use of Xxxxxxxx’s Name, etc. Provided Lender obtains Xxxxxxxx’s prior written approval in each instance, Borrower hereby authorizes Xxxxxx to use the Borrower’s name and tradenames together with variants of such names and related logotypes and the amount of the transaction in advertising that promotes Lender and the business transaction between any Borrower and Lender. Neither Lender nor any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees and advertising agents shall have any liability to Borrower arising out of or related to the reasonable exercise of the rights hereby granted to Lender.

23. Miscellaneous. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or provision hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended orally, nor may any provision hereof be waived orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by Xxxxxx and, in the case of an amendment, by Borrower, and any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
