The Bank may upon the occurrence of any Default Condition, without cause or notice, curtail or terminate such authority at any time.
| -12- |
(2) Upon the request of the Bank, in the Bank’s sole discretion, all Account Debtors shall be notified to make payments under Receivables directly to the Bank, in accordance with the Bank’s standard lockbox agreement. The Borrower will use all reasonable efforts to cause each Account Debtor to comply with the foregoing instruction. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower authorizes the Bank (a) to ask for, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all amounts due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of the Borrower or its own name or otherwise, (b) to take possession of, indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and (c) to file any claim or take any other action in any court of law or equity or otherwise which it may deem appropriate for the purpose of collecting any amounts due under any Collateral. The Bank shall have no obligation to obtain or record any information relating to the source of such funds or the obligations in respect of which payments have been made.
(D) Segregation of Proceeds.
(1) The Bank shall have the right at any time (regardless of whether or not a Default shall have occurred) to cause to be opened and maintained at the principal office of the Bank a non-interest bearing bank account (the "Cash Collateral Account") which will contain only Proceeds. Any cash proceeds (as such term is defined in Section 8.9A-102(a)(9) of the UCC) received by the Bank from the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection (D), whether consisting of checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders, commercial paper or other Proceeds received on account of any Collateral, shall be promptly deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, and until so deposited shall be held in trust for and as the Bank's property and shall not be commingled with any funds of the Borrower not constituting Proceeds of Collateral. The name in which the Cash Collateral Account is carried shall clearly indicate that the funds deposited therein are the property of the Borrower, subject to the security interest of the Bank hereunder. Such Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to be security for the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. The Bank shall have sole dominion and control over the funds deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, and such funds may be withdrawn therefrom only by the Bank; provided, however, that until a Default shall occur, all collected funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, or so much thereof as is not required to make payment of the Obligations which have become due and payable, shall be withdrawn by the Bank on the Business Day next following the day on which the Bank considers the funds deposited therein to be collected funds and disbursed to the Borrower or its order.
(2) Upon notice by the Bank to the Borrower that the Cash Collateral Account has been opened, the Borrower shall cause all cash Proceeds collected by it pursuant to paragraph (1), above, to be delivered to the Bank forthwith upon receipt, in the original form in which received (with such indorsements or assignments as may be necessary to permit collection thereof by the Bank), and for such purpose the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Bank, its officers, employees and authorized agents to indorse and sign the name of the Borrower on all checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment so delivered, and such indorsements or assignments shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been made by the Borrower prior to any indorsement or assignment thereof by the Bank. The Bank may use any convenient or customary means for the purpose of collecting such checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment.
| -13- |
(E) Verification of Receivables. The Bank shall have the right to make test verifications of Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it considers advisable, and the Borrower agrees to furnish all such assistance and information as the Bank may require in connection therewith. The Borrower at its expense will cause either independent certified public accountants or, if agreeable to the Bank in its sole discretion, the Borrower's chief financial officer, to furnish to the Bank at any time and from time to time promptly upon the Bank's request, the following reports: (i) a reconciliation of all Receivables, (ii) an aging of all Receivables, (iii) trial balances and (iv) a test verification of such Receivables as the Bank may request.
(F) Release of Collateral.
(1) The Borrower may sell or realize upon or transfer or otherwise dispose of Collateral as permitted by Section VI(B)(13), and the security interests of the Bank in such Collateral so sold, realized upon or disposed of (but not in the Proceeds arising from such sale, realization or disposition) shall cease immediately upon such sale, realization or disposition, without any further action on the part of the Bank. The Bank, if requested in writing by the Borrower but at the expense of the Borrower, is hereby authorized and instructed to deliver to the Account Debtor or the purchaser or other transferee of any such Collateral a certificate stating that the Bank no longer has a security interest therein, and such Account Debtor or such purchaser or other transferee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such certificate for any and all purposes.
(2) Upon the payment in full of all of the Obligations and if there is no commitment by the Bank to make further Advances, incur obligations or otherwise give value, the Bank will (as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice from the Borrower requesting the same but at the expense of the Borrower) send the Borrower, for each jurisdiction in which a UCC financing statement is on file to perfect the security interests granted to the Bank hereunder, a termination statement to the effect that the Bank no longer claims a security interest under such financing statement.

V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The Borrower represents and warrants that:
(A) Existence and Power.
(1) Each corporate Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and no other jurisdiction. The name of the Borrower, as set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement, is as said name appears in the public records of said jurisdiction. The Borrower has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted. The Borrower is duly qualified as a foreign entity, licensed and in good standing in each jurisdiction where qualification or licensing is required by the nature of its business or the character and location of its property, business or customers and in which the failure to so qualify or be licensed, as the case may be, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operations, properties or prospects of the Borrower.
| -16- |
(2) Each limited liability company Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and no other jurisdiction. The name of the Borrower, as set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement, is as said name appears in the public records of said jurisdiction. The Borrower has all organizational powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted. The Borrower is duly qualified as a foreign entity, licensed and in good standing in each jurisdiction where qualification or licensing is required by the nature of its business or the character and location of its property, business or customers and in which the failure to so qualify or be licensed, as the case may be, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operations, properties or prospects of the Borrower.
(B) Organizational and Governmental Authorization; Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party are within its organizational power, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, or action of its members, as the case may be, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not contravene, or constitute (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any provision of applicable law or of the organizational documents of the Borrower or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon or affecting the Borrower or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Lien of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) on any of its assets.
(C) Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower and the Notes and Applications, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, in each case enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as (1) the enforceability hereof and thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (2) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.
(D) Title to Collateral. Except for the security interests granted to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower is the sole owner of each item of the Collateral, having good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any and all Liens, except Permitted Liens.
(E) Validity, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests.
(1) By complying with Section VI(B)(1), the Borrower will have created a valid security interest in favor of the Bank in all existing Collateral and in all identifiable Proceeds of such Collateral, which security interest (except in respect of motor vehicles for which the exclusive manner of perfecting a security interest therein is by noting such security interest on the certificate of title in accordance with local law) would be prior to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy under Section 544(a) of the federal Bankruptcy Code. Continuing compliance by the Borrower with the provisions of Section VI(B)(2) will also (a) create valid security interests in all Collateral acquired after the date hereof and in all identifiable Proceeds of such Collateral and (b) cause such security interests in all Collateral and in all Proceeds which are (i) identifiable cash Proceeds of Collateral covered by financing statements required to be filed hereunder, (ii) identifiable Proceeds in which a security interest may be perfected by such filing under the UCC and (iii) any Proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account to be duly perfected under the UCC, in each case prior to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy under the federal Bankruptcy Code.
| -17- |
(2) The security interests of the Bank in the Collateral rank first in priority. Other than financing statements or other similar documents perfecting the security interests of the Bank, no financing statements or similar documents covering all or any part of the Collateral are on file or of record in any government office in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect a security interest in such Collateral, nor is any of the Collateral in the possession of any person (other than the Borrower) asserting any claim thereto or security interest therein.
(F) Enforceability of Receivables and Other Intangibles. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, each Receivable and Other Intangible is a valid and binding obligation of the related Account Debtor in respect thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general provisions of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and complies with any applicable legal requirements.
(G) Places of Business; Location of Collateral. Appendix 1 hereto correctly sets forth each Borrower’s current chief executive office, any and all chief executive offices of said Borrower within the previous four (4) months, all other places of business of said Borrower and the offices of said Borrower where records concerning Receivables and Other Intangibles are kept. Appendix 2 hereto correctly sets forth the location of all Equipment and Inventory, other than rolling stock, aircraft, goods in transit and Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business as permitted by Section VI(B)(13) of this Agreement. Except as otherwise specified in Appendix 2 hereto , all Inventory and Equipment has been located at the address specified on said Appendix 2 at all times during the four-month period prior to the date hereof while owned by said Borrower. All Inventory has been and will be produced in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219. No Inventory is evidenced by a negotiable document of title, warehouse receipt or xxxx of lading. No non-negotiable document of title, warehouse receipt or xxxx of lading has been issued to any person other than said Borrower, and said Borrower has retained possession of all of such non-negotiable documents, warehouse receipts and bills of lading. No amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral is evidenced by promissory notes or other instruments.
(H) Trade Names. Any and all trade names, division names, assumed names or other names under which each Borrower transacts, or within the four-month period prior to the date hereof has transacted, business are specified on Appendix 3 hereto.
(I) Financial Information.
(1) The most recent fiscal year end consolidated balance sheet of Versar and the related consolidated financial statements, reported on by Versar's independent public accountants, copies of which have been delivered to the Bank, fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the financial position of Versar and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and its results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year. As of the date of such financial statements, no Borrower has had any material contingent obligation, contingent liability or liability for Taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, which is not reflected in any of such financial statements or notes thereto.
| -18- |
(2) Since the date of the most recent balance sheet, there has been no material adverse change in the business, financial position, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower.
(J) Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, the Borrower before any Government in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could materially adversely affect the business, financial position or results of operations of the Borrower or which in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document and there is no basis known to the Borrower for any such action, suit or proceeding.
(K) Marketable Title. The Borrower has good and marketable title to all its properties and assets subject to no Lien, except Permitted Liens.
(L) Filings. All actions by or in respect of, and all filings with, any governmental body, agency or official required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, or necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof or for the protection or perfection of the rights and interests of the Bank thereunder, will, prior to the date of delivery thereof, have been duly taken or made, as the case may be, and will at all times thereafter remain in full force and effect.
(M) Regulation U. The proceeds of the Advances and the Term Loan will be used by the Borrower only for the purposes set forth in Section VI(C)(14) hereof. None of the proceeds of the Term Loan or any Advance will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute the loan evidenced by the Revolving Note, or any Advance, a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The proceeds of the Term Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing and carrying the stock of Geo-Marine, but said stock is not "margin stock", and the Term Loan is therefore not a "purpose credit" within the meaning of said Regulation U.
(N) Taxes. The Borrower has filed all United States Federal income Tax returns and all other material Tax returns which are required to be filed by it and has paid all Taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower in respect of Taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.
(O) Suspension or Debarment. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary, nor any of their respective directors, officers or employees, has received any notice of, or information concerning, any proposed, contemplated or initiated suspension or debarment, be it temporary or permanent, due to an administrative or a statutory basis, of the Borrower or any Subsidiary by any Government. The Borrower further warrants and represents that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has defaulted under any Government Contract which default would be a basis of terminating such Government Contract.
(P) Anti-Terrorism Laws.
(1) General. Neither the Borrower nor or any Affiliate of the Borrower is in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law.
| -19- |
(2) Executive Order No. 13224. Neither the Borrower, nor or any Affiliate of the Borrower, or their respective agents acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with the Term Loan, the Advances, or other transactions hereunder, is any of the following (each a “Blocked Person”): (a) a Person that is listed in the annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, Executive Order No. 13224, (b) a Person owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, any Person that is listed in the annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, Executive Order No. 13224, (c) a Person or entity with which any Bank is prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any Anti-Terrorism Law, (d) a Person or entity that commits, threatens or conspires to commit or supports “terrorism” as defined in Executive Order No. 13224, (e) a Person or entity that is named as a “specially designated national” on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Asset Control at its official website or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list, or (f) a person or entity who is affiliated or associated with a person or entity listed above.
The Borrower, or to the knowledge of any Borrower, any of its agents acting in any capacity in connection with the Advances or the Term Loan or other transactions hereunder, does not (i) conduct any business or engage in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Blocked Person, or (ii) deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224.
(Q) Subsidiaries. Versar has no Subsidiary that is not a Borrower. Versar Global Solutions, Inc., VEC Corp., and Advent Environmental, Inc., which were “Borrowers” under the Original Loan Agreement and the Original Note, are not Material Subsidiaries and either no longer exist or are in the process of being dissolved as of the Effective Date.
(R) Disclosure. None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any schedule or exhibit thereto or document, certificate, report, statement or other information furnished to the Bank in connection herewith or therewith or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact materially adversely affecting the assets, business, financial position, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower which has not been set forth in a footnote included in the financial statements referred to in subsection (I)(1), above, or any exhibit or schedule thereto.

The Borrower will in no event change the location of any Collateral if such change would cause the security interest granted hereby in such Collateral to lapse or cease to be perfected. The Borrower will at all times maintain its chief executive office within the United States.
(5) Fixtures. The Borrower will not permit any Equipment to become a fixture unless it shall have given the Bank at least ten days' prior written notice thereof and shall have taken all such action and delivered or caused to be delivered to the Bank all instruments and documents, including, without limitation, waivers and subordination agreements by any landlords and mortgagees, and filed all financing statements necessary or reasonably requested by the Bank, to preserve and protect the security interest granted herein and to effectuate or maintain the priority thereof against all persons.

The Borrower will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense complete books and records relating to the Collateral which are satisfactory to the Bank including, without limitation, a record of all payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all of its other dealings with the Collateral. If reasonably required by the Bank, the Borrower will xxxx its books and records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence this Agreement and the security interests granted hereby.

(G) Remedies Not Exclusive.
(1) No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Bank in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.
(2) If the Bank shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power under this Agreement and the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Bank, the Borrower and the Bank shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights under this Agreement, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Bank shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

(1) The Borrower, to the extent it may lawfully do so, agrees that it will not at any time in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, turnover or redemption law, or any law now or hereafter in force permitting it to direct the order in which the Collateral shall be sold which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Agreement and the Borrower hereby waives the benefits or advantage of all such laws, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Bank in this Agreement but will permit the execution of every such power as though no such law were in force; provided that nothing contained in this subsection (H) shall be construed as a waiver of any rights of the Borrower under any applicable federal bankruptcy law.
(2) The Borrower, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on behalf of itself and all who may claim through or under it, including without limitation any and all subsequent creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors, waives and releases all rights to demand or to have any marshalling of the Collateral upon any sale, whether made under any power of sale granted herein or pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of this Agreement and consents and agrees that all the Collateral may at any such sale be offered and sold as an entirety.
(3) The Borrower, to the extent it may lawfully do so, waives presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind (except notices explicitly required hereunder) in connection with this Agreement and any action taken by the Bank with respect to the Collateral.
(I) Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Bank, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in the Bank's reasonable discretion for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Bank the power and right, on behalf of the Borrower, without notice to or assent by the Borrower to do the following:
(1) to pay or discharge Taxes, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(2) to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
| -35- |
(3) upon the occurrence and continuance of any Default and otherwise to the extent provided in this Agreement, (a) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due and to come due thereunder directly to the Bank or as the Bank shall direct; (b) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (c) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; (d) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (e) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise and adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Bank may deem appropriate; (g) to assign any patent or trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which such trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Bank shall in its sole discretion determine; and (h) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Bank were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Bank's option and the Borrower's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Bank deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Bank's security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower might do.
The Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
(J) Application of Proceeds. The Bank shall retain the net proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral and, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care and safekeeping of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of the Bank hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, apply such net proceeds to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in such order as the Bank may elect, the Borrower remaining liable for any amount remaining unpaid (and any attorneys' fees paid by the Bank in collecting such deficiency) after such application. Only after applying such net proceeds and after the payment by the Bank of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-504(1)(c) of the UCC, need the Bank account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to the same.
VIII. MISCELLANEOUS.

(B) No Waivers. No failure on the part of the Bank to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any document or agreement contemplated hereby shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
| -36- |
(C) Compensation and Expenses of the Bank. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank from time to time upon demand, all of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Bank (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any amounts payable by the Bank to any of its agents, whether on account of fees, indemnities or otherwise) (1) arising in connection with the preparation, administration, modification, amendment, waiver or termination of this Agreement or any document or agreement contemplated hereby or any consent or waiver hereunder or thereunder or (2) incurred in connection with the administration of this Agreement, or any document or agreement contemplated hereby, or in connection with the administration, sale or other disposition of Collateral hereunder or under any document or agreement contemplated hereby or the preservation, protection or defense of the rights of the Bank in and to the Collateral.

The Borrower shall at all times hereafter indemnify, hold harmless and, on demand, reimburse the Bank, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (all of the foregoing parties, including, but not limited to, the Bank, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Indemnitees" and individually as an "Indemnitee") from, against and for any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, actions, penalties, causes of action, losses, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements, including, without limitation, attorney's fees (any and all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Liabilities" and individually as a "Liability") which the Indemnitees, or any of them, might be or become subjected, by reason of, or arising out of the preparation, execution, delivery, modification, administration or enforcement of, or performance of the Bank's rights under, this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnitee for any Liability caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In no event shall any Indemnitee, as a condition to enforcing its rights under this subsection (D) or otherwise, be obligated to make a claim against any other person (including, without limitation, the Bank) to enforce its rights under this subsection (D).
(E) Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. The parties hereto may, from time to time, enter into written agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement, waiving any provisions hereof or changing in any manner the rights of the parties.
(F) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank's successors and assigns. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any Collateral.
(G) Waiver of Jury Trial; Submission to Jurisdiction. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the Bank's right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring proceedings against the Borrower in any other court having jurisdiction.
| -37- |
(H) Termination; Survival. This Agreement shall terminate when the security interests granted hereunder have terminated and the Collateral has been released as provided in Section III(F); provided that the obligations of the Borrower under any of Section VI(B)(18), VIII(C) and VIII(D) shall survive any such termination.
(I) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all previous understandings, written or oral, in respect thereof.
(J) Limitation of Law; Severability.
(1) All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
(2) If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible; and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.
(K) Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto do not intend that this Agreement constitute a novation of the Original Loan Agreement or the Original Note. The Borrower represents and warrants that there are no offsets or defenses to the Original Loan Agreement or the Original Note.
(L) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
(M) Patriot Act Notice. The Bank hereby notifies the 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 Bank may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with said Act.
