SECTION 7 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and at any time during the continuance or existence of any Event of Default, Bank may, with or without notice to Borrower or any other Loan Party, declare all outstanding Indebtedness to be due and payable, whereupon all such Indebtedness then outstanding shall immediately become due and payable, without further notice or demand, and any commitment or obligation, if any, on the part of Bank to make or extend Loans shall immediately terminate. Further, upon the occurrence or at any time during the continuance or existence of any Event of Default hereunder, Bank may collect, deal with and dispose of all or any part of any Collateral in any manner permitted or authorized by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law (including public or private sale), and after deducting expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), Bank may apply the proceeds thereof in part or full payment of any of the Indebtedness, whether due or not, in any manner or order Bank elects. In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence and at any time during the continuance or existence of any Event of Default hereunder, Bank may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it as a result thereof, whether under this Agreement or other Loan Documents, at law (including, without limit, the Uniform Commercial Code), or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any other Loan Document, Bank shall not be obligated to make or extend any Loans or advances to any Borrower(s) during the existence of any Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 8 DEMAND BASIS LOANS. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event that any of the Indebtedness shall at any time be on a demand basis, Borrower’s compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the absence of any Event of Default hereunder, shall not, in any way whatsoever, limit, restrict or otherwise affect or impair Bank’s right or ability to make demand for payment of any or all of such Indebtedness which may be on a demand basis at any such time, in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, with or without reason or cause, and the existence of any Event of Default hereunder shall not be the sole reason or basis for enabling Bank to make demand for payment of all or any part of such Indebtedness.

SECTION 9 WAIVERS OF DEFAULTS; NO FORBEARANCE. No Event of Default shall be waived by Bank except in writing

and a waiver of any Event of Default shall not be a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. No forbearance on the part of the Bank in enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any renewal, extension or rearrangement of any payment or covenant to be made or performed by Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or any such other Loan Document, shall constitute a waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement or such Loan Document or of any such right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or any delay in the exercise hereof, shall preclude other or further exercise of the rights of the parties under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 12 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, and all of which shall constitute a single agreement.

Bank may remove the signature pages from one or more counterparts and attach them to any other counterpart for the purpose of having a single document containing the signatures of all parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, emailed portable document format (“pdf”), or tagged image file format (“tiff”) or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party sending an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, pdf, tiff or any other electronic means shall also send the original thereof to Bank within five (5) days thereafter, but failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect of this Agreement.
