All such obligations and liabilities of Owner shall be included in the Obligations secured by the Collateral and shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Security Agreement. Unless the description of the Collateral set forth above indicates the Collateral shall be attached as a fixture to real property, Owner shall not, without the express prior written consent of SunTrust, cause or permit all or any part of the Collateral to be affixed to real property so as to become a fixture as that term is defined or interpreted in the state in which the Collateral is at any time located.

Insurance, Taxes and Assessments. The Owner shall at all times keep insurable Collateral insured against any and all risks, including, without limitation, fire, and such other insurance, including but not limited to flood insurance, as may be required by SunTrust from time to time, and in such amounts as may be satisfactory to SunTrust. Insurance may be purchased from an insurer of the Owner's choice, except as otherwise required by law. All such insurance policies are to be made payable to SunTrust, in the event of loss, under a standard non-contributory "mortgagee", "lender", or "secured party" clause and shall contain a breach of warranty provision acceptable to SunTrust which shall establish SunTrust's right to be paid the insurance proceeds irrespective of any action, inaction, breach of warranty or conditions, or negligence of Owner or any other person or entity with respect to such policies. All such insurance policies shall provide for a minimum of thirty days written notice to SunTrust prior to cancellation. Owner appoints SunTrust attorney-in-fact to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable to Owner thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments, or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies, which power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as SunTrust has a security interest in any of the Collateral. Owner shall provide proof of such insurance as requested by SunTrust. The Owner shall pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and charges of every kind prior to the date when such taxes, assessments or charges shall become delinquent and provide proof of such payments to SunTrust, upon request. However, nothing contained in this Security Agreement shall require the Owner to pay any such taxes, assessments and charges so long as it shall contest its validity in good faith and shall post any bond or security required by SunTrust against the payment. Upon the failure of the Owner to purchase required insurance or to pay such required amounts, SunTrust, at its option, and at the Owner's expense, may obtain such insurance or pay such taxes, assessments, and charges. In addition, SunTrust may from time to time, in its sole discretion, perform any undertakings of the Owner which the Owner shall fail to perform and take any other action which SunTrust deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of the Collateral. Any amounts so paid shall be included in the Obligations secured by the Collateral. At SunTrust's request, the Owner agrees to promptly reimburse SunTrust on demand for all such expenses incurred by SunTrust, together with interest thereon from the date paid by SunTrust at the highest rate payable on the Obligations. Any insurance obtained by SunTrust, at its option, may be single or dual interest, protecting its rights, rights of the Owner or joint rights. Any insurance obtained by Sun Trust may provide, at its option, that such insurance will pay the lesser of the unpaid balance of the Obligations or the repair or replacement value of the Collateral. SunTrust may use the proceeds of any insurance obtained by Owner or by SunTrust to repair or replace the Collateral or, if SunTrust elects to do so, to repay part or all of the Obligations, whether or not then due, and in such order as SunTrust may determine, and the Borrower will still be responsible to repay any remaining unpaid balance of the Obligations. The whole or partial loss or destruction of all or any part of the Collateral shall not affect or impair the obligation of any person or entity liable under the Obligations.
Additional Covenants and Agreements if Borrower is Different than Owner. If Borrower is different than Owner, then so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding or so long as this Security Agreement shall remain in effect Owner covenants and agrees as follows: (a) Owner hereby expressly consents to and adopts any agreements which Borrower has entered into or will enter into with SunTrust regarding any of the Obligations or the Collateral; (b) Owner hereby agrees that the Collateral shall be subject to disposition in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement and any agreements executed by Borrower in connection with any of the Obligations or the Collateral; (c) Owner will not be subrogated to SunTrust's rights to any other collateral and any proceeds thereof in which SunTrust holds a security interest to secure payment of any of the Obligations; (d) Owner agrees that SunTrust may at any time and from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, Owner: 0) retain any of the Collateral in satisfaction of any of the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, (ii) retain or obtain a security interest or lien in any property in addition to the Collateral to secure payment or performance of any of the Obligations, (iii) allow or cause any Obligations to be incurred, (iv) retain or obtain persons or entities that are primarily or secondarily obligated upon any of the Obligations other than the Borrower, (v) extend or renew any of the Obligations for any period (whether or not longer than the original term), (vi) release, compromise or modify any of the Obligations, (vii) release, in whole or in part, any person or entity primarily or secondarily obligated upon any of the Obligations or enter into any compromise with respect to the obligation of any such person or entity relative to any of the Obligations, (viii) release, with or without consideration, SunTrust's security interest or lien in any property other than the Collateral which may at any time secure payment or performance of any of the Obligations, (ix) accept substitutions or exchanges for any property other than the Collateral.. which may at any time secure payment or performance of any of the Obligations, (x) exercise its rights as a secured party and dispose of the Collateral without having first resorted to any property securing any of the Obligations other than the Collateral and without having first proceeded against or demanded payment from any person or entity primarily or secondarily obligated upon any of the Obligations; and (e) Owner specifically waives any and all rights pursuant to X.X.XX Sec. 10-7-24 or X.XX Sec. 00-00-000 et seq. if this Security Agreement is governed by the laws of Georgia or Tennessee, and the same or similar provision contained in the Uniform Commercial Code of any other state or states which may govern this Security Agreement.
