Debtor hereby represents and agrees that:

 

OWNERSHIP.   Debtor owns the Collateral.  The Collateral is free and clear of all liens, security interests, and claims except those previously reported in writing to and approved by Bank, and Debtor will keep the Collateral free and clear from all liens, security interests and claims, other than those granted to or approved by Bank.  Debtor will not borrow on margin or other credit secured by the Account or property in the Account from any party other than Bank.  All securities and security entitlements pledged as Collateral are fully paid and non-assessable and if certificated, have been delivered to Bank with unrestricted endorsements.  All income, dividends, earnings and profits with respect to the Collateral shall be reported for state and federal income tax purposes as attributable to the Debtor and not Bank, and Bank or any other person authorized to report income distributions, is authorized to issue IRS Forms 1099 indicating Debtor as the recipient of such income, earnings and profits.

 

NAME AND OFFICES; JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION.   The name and address of Debtor appearing at the beginning of this Agreement are Debtor’s exact legal name and the address of its chief executive office.  There has been no change in the name of Debtor, or the name under which Debtor conducts business, within the five years preceding the date hereof.  Debtor has not moved its chief executive office within the five years preceding the date hereof except as previously reported in writing to Bank.  Debtor is organized under the laws of the State of Florida and has not changed the jurisdiction of its organization within the five years preceding the date hereof except as previously reported in writing to Bank.

 

TITLE/TAXES.   Debtor has good and marketable title to the Collateral and will warrant and defend same against all claims.  Debtor will not transfer, sell, or lease Collateral (except as permitted herein).  Debtor agrees to pay promptly all taxes and assessments upon or for the use of Collateral and on this Security Agreement.  At its option, Bank may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on Collateral.  Debtor agrees to reimburse Bank, on demand, for any such payment made by Bank.  Any amounts so paid shall be added to the Secured Obligations.

 

WAIVERS.   Debtor agrees not to assert against Bank as a defense (legal or equitable), as a set-off, as a counterclaim, or otherwise, any claims Debtor may have against any seller or lessor that provided personal property or services relating to any part of the Collateral or against any other party liable to Bank for all or any part of the Secured Obligations.  Debtor waives all exemptions and homestead rights with regard to the Collateral.  Debtor waives any and all rights to any bond or security which might be required by applicable law prior to the exercise of any of Bank's remedies against any Collateral.  All rights of Bank and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, not discharged or impaired irrespective of (and regardless of whether Debtor receives any notice of):  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance, or in any term, of all or any of the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document; or (iii) any exchange, insufficiency, unenforceability, enforcement, release, impairment or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release of or modifications to or insufficiency, unenforceability or enforcement of the obligations of any guarantor or other obligor.  To the extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby waives any rights under any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws now existing or which may hereafter exist and which, but for this provision, might be applicable to any sale or disposition of the Collateral by Bank; and any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any party with respect to the Secured Obligations.

 

NOTIFICATIONS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL.   Debtor will notify Bank in writing at least 30 days prior to any change in:  (i) Debtor's chief place of business; (ii) Debtor's name; (iii) Debtor's corporate/organizational structure; or (iv) the jurisdiction in which Debtor is organized.  In addition, Debtor shall promptly notify Bank of any claims or alleged claims of any other person or entity to the Collateral or the institution of any litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation or administrative proceedings against or affecting the Collateral.  Debtor will keep Collateral at the location(s) previously provided to Bank until such time as Bank provides written advance consent to a change of location.  Debtor will bear the cost of preparing and filing any documents necessary to protect Bank's liens.

 

COLLATERAL CONDITION AND LAWFUL USE.   Debtor represents that the Collateral is in good repair and condition and that Debtor shall use reasonable care to prevent Collateral from being damaged or depreciating, normal wear and tear excepted.  Debtor shall immediately notify Bank of any material loss or damage to Collateral.  Debtor shall not permit any item of Collateral to become an accession to other property unless such property is also Collateral hereunder.  Debtor represents it is in compliance in all respects with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Collateral and its properties, operations, business, and finances.

 

RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE.   Debtor shall bear all risk of loss with respect to the Collateral.  The injury to or loss of Collateral, either partial or total, shall not release Debtor from payment or other performance hereof.  Debtor agrees to obtain and keep in force property insurance on the Collateral with a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement in favor of Bank and commercial general liability insurance naming Bank as Additional Insured and such other insurance as Bank may require from time to time.  Such insurance is to be in form and amounts satisfactory to Bank and issued by reputable insurance carriers satisfactory to Bank with a Best Insurance Report Key Rating of at least “A-“.  All such policies shall provide to Bank a minimum of 30 days written notice of cancellation.  Debtor shall furnish to Bank such policies, or other evidence of such policies satisfactory to Bank.  If Debtor fails to obtain or maintain in force such insurance or fails to furnish such evidence , Bank is authorized, but not obligated, to purchase any or all insurance or "Single Interest Insurance" protecting such interest as Bank deems appropriate against such risks and for such coverage and for such amounts, including either the loan amount or value of the Collateral, all at its discretion, and at Debtor's expense.  In such event, Debtor agrees to reimburse Bank for the cost of such insurance and Bank may add such cost to the Secured Obligations.  Debtor shall bear the risk of loss to the extent of any deficiency in the effective insurance coverage with respect to loss or damage to any of the Collateral.  Debtor hereby assigns to Bank the proceeds of all property insurance covering the Collateral up to the amount of the Secured Obligations and directs any insurer to make payments directly to Bank.  Debtor hereby appoints Bank its attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest for so long as Secured Obligations are unpaid, to file proof of loss and/or any other forms required to collect from any insurer any amount due from any damage or destruction of Collateral, to agree to and bind Debtor as to the amount of said recovery, to designate payee(s) of such recovery, to grant releases to insurer, to grant subrogation rights to any insurer, and to endorse any settlement check or draft.  Debtor agrees not to exercise any of the foregoing powers granted to Bank without Bank's prior written consent.

 

FINANCING STATEMENTS, CERTIFICATES OF TITLE, POWER OF ATTORNEY.   No financing statement (other than any filed or approved by Bank) covering any Collateral is on file in any public filing office.  Debtor authorizes the filing of one or more financing statements covering the Collateral in form satisfactory to Bank, and without Debtor’s signature where authorized by law, agrees to deliver certificates of title on which Bank’s lien has been indicated covering any Collateral subject to a certificate of title statute, and will pay all costs and expenses of filing or applying for the same or of filing this Security Agreement in all public filing offices, where filing is deemed by Bank to be desirable.  Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default, Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Bank the true and lawful attorney of Debtor with full power of substitution to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents, instruments or applications that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purpose and carry out the terms of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation, endorsements desirable for transfer or delivery of any Collateral, registration of any Collateral under applicable laws, retitling any Collateral, receipt, endorsement and/or collection of all checks and other orders for payment of money payable to Debtor with respect to Collateral.  The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.  Neither Bank nor anyone acting on its behalf shall be liable for acts, omissions, errors in judgment, or mistakes in fact in such capacity as attorney-in-fact.  Debtor ratifies all acts of Bank as attorney-in-fact.  Debtor agrees to take such other actions, at Debtor’s expense, as might be requested for the perfection, continuation and assignment, in whole or in part, of the security interests granted herein and to assure and preserve Bank’s intended priority position.  If certificates, passbooks, or other documentation or evidence is/are issued or outstanding as to any of the Collateral, Debtor will cause the security interests of Bank to be properly protected, including perfection by notation thereon or delivery thereof to Bank.  Upon Bank's request, Debtor will, at its own expense:  (i) do all things determined by Bank to be desirable to register such Collateral or qualify for an exemption from registration, under the provisions of all applicable securities laws, and (ii) otherwise do or cause to be done all other acts and things as may be necessary to make the sale of the Collateral valid, binding and in compliance with applicable law.

 

LANDLORD/MORTGAGEE WAIVERS.   Debtor shall use its best efforts to cause each mortgagee of real property owned by Debtor and each landlord of real property leased by Debtor to execute and deliver instruments satisfactory in form and substance to Bank by which such mortgagee or landlord subordinates its rights, if any, in the Collateral.

 

STOCK, DIVIDENDS.   If, with respect to any securities pledged hereunder, a stock dividend is declared, any stock split made or right to subscribe is issued, all the certificates for the shares representing such stock dividend, stock split or right to subscribe will be immediately delivered, duly endorsed, to the Bank as additional Collateral, and any cash or non-cash proceeds and products thereof, including investment property and security entitlements will be immediately delivered to Bank.  Debtor acknowledges that such grant includes all investment property and security entitlements, now existing or hereafter arising, relating to such securities.  In addition, Debtor agrees to execute such notices and instructions to securities intermediaries as Bank may reasonably request.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Bank shall have no right to receive and the Debtor shall be under no obligation to deliver any shares or other evidences of an equity interest in any controlled foreign corporation (as defined in Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) as additional Collateral, to the exten
