All such notices and other communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or faxed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery, or transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine, respectively, or if mailed, upon the third Business Day after the date deposited into the mail or if delivered, upon delivery; provided, that notices delivered to Lender shall not be effective until actually received by such Person at its address specified above.

(c) Any agreement of the Lender to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of Borrower. Lender shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by Borrower to give such notice and Lender shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by Lender in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan and all other Obligations hereunder shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of Lender to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by Lender of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by Lender to be contained in any such telephonic or facsimile notice.

10.02 Waiver; Amendments. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower and Lender and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of an advance under the Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default Condition or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default Condition or Event of Default at the time.

10.03 Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Lender, in connection with the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel) incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loan or other Obligations, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan or other Obligations.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and any of its affiliates, as well as its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, and all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances on or from, or migrating to or from, any property owned or operated by Borrower, or any actual or alleged Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower or any Collateral, (iv) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) Borrower shall pay, and hold Lender harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, indebtedness, and other similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and shall defend, indemnify and save the Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any loan or the use of proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

10.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and Participants as provided in subparagraph (b) below) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Lender may at any time, without the prior consent of, or notice to, Borrower, sell and assign or grant participations to any Person (other than a natural person, Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) all or a portion of Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement.

10.05 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement is made and delivered in the State of Florida and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws thereof without reference to the conflicts of law principles that would cause the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits and consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court in Florida located in the same judicial district as the office of Lender specified in the first paragraph of this Agreement and agrees that all actions or proceedings arising directly, indirectly or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to or from this Agreement shall be litigated only in one of the foregoing described courts. Borrower, for itself, and its successors and assigns, and for any Person claiming under or through any of them, hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights to contest the jurisdiction or venue as set forth above and hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights to remove this action to, or to transfer, dismiss, or change venue to, any other court. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that neither Lender nor any Person acting on behalf of Lender has represented to Borrower that the provisions of this paragraph have been waived or will not be fully enforced by Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may initiate necessary judicial actions in any jurisdiction to recover Collateral securing the Loan or any other Obligation.

10.06 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS BORROWER MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO: THIS AGREEMENT; THE OBLIGATIONS; ANY NOTES, LOAN AGREEMENTS, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. THIS JURY WAIVER ALSO APPLIES TO ANY CLAIM OR, COUNTERCLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DEMAND ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO (I) ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, OR RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER, OR ANY OTHER PERSON WITH LENDER OR ANY EMPLOYEE, OFFICER, DIRECTOR OR ASSIGNEE OF LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE OBLIGATIONS WITH LENDER; OR (II) ANY STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PERSON BY OR ON BEHALF OF LENDER TO BORROWER, OR ANY OTHER PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE OBLIGATIONS OR LENDER REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES BY CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDER IN EXTENDING CREDIT TO BORROWER, THAT THE LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE EXTENDED SUCH CREDIT WITHOUT THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND THAT BORROWER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY OR HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND UNDERSTANDS THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS WAIVER. BORROWER FURTHER CERTIFIES THAT NO PERSON HAS REPRESENTED TO IT, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.

10.07 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Lender shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of Borrower at any time held or other obligations at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all Obligations held by Lender, irrespective of whether Lender shall have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Lender agree promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and any application made by Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Any party to this Agreement may execute a counterpart copy of this Agreement and deliver the same by telecopier, or by an electronically or digitally scanned copy signed counterpart stored in an electronic or digital format (e.g., “.pdf” or “.tft” format) which preserves the graphical or pictorial appearance of the original and delivered by electronic or digital means, such as electronic mail, so that the same may be printed in a tangible format, which shall be deemed an original for all purposes.

10.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Note[s]and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters. No course of dealing, course of performance, usage of trade or evidence of any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements or discussions or other extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used to contradict, vary, supplement or modify any term of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. There are no oral agreements between the parties.

10.10 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any advance of the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default Condition or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on the Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as any commitment of Lender to make advances under the Loan has not expired or terminated. The provision entitled “Expenses; Indemnification” above shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, the expiration or termination of the Loan or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the making of any advance by Lender under the Loan.

10.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.12 Gender and Number. In this Agreement, whenever the context so requires, the neuter gender includes the feminine and/or masculine, as the case may be and the singular number includes the plural.

10.13 Headings. Any captions or headings in this Agreement are for convenience and reference and are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions or terms hereof.

10.14 Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such Person having or being deemed to have structured, written or dictated such provision.

10.15 Lack of Duress. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower is a sophisticated business Person, having had substantial experience in connection with financing and credit arrangements such as contemplated by this Agreement, was duly represented by or had the opportunity to be represented by an attorney in the negotiation of the documentation to evidence and secure the Loan and bargained with Lender at arm's length and without duress of any kind whatsoever relative to all of the terms and conditions pursuant to which Lender agreed to make available the Loan including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions contained in this Section.

10.16 Interest Rate Limitation. The parties hereto stipulate and agree that it is their common and overriding intent to contract in strict compliance with the applicable usury laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate or rates applicable to the Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of Loan, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. If for any reason the charges paid by Borrower exceed the Maximum Rate, Lender shall credit against the principal balance of the Loan (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, refund to the payor of such charges) such portion of said charges as shall be necessary to ensure that the total charges do not exceed the Maximum Rate.

10.17 Patriot Act. The Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and any Person acting on Borrower’s behalf, which information includes the name and address of such Person and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Person in accordance with the Patriot Act. Borrower shall provide such information and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Lender in order to assist the Lender in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.
