Enforceability of Collateral.  To the extent the Collateral consists of accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and, to the knowledge of Borrowers, fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations concerning form, content and manner of preparation and execution, and, to the knowledge of Borrowers, all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear to be on the Collateral.  At the time any account becomes subject to a security interest in favor of Lender, the account shall be at the time it arises a good and valid account representing an undisputed, bona fide indebtedness incurred by the account debtor, for merchandise held subject to delivery instructions or previously shipped or delivered pursuant to a contract of sale, or for services previously performed by Borrower with or for the account debtor.   So long as this Agreement remains in effect, Borrowers shall not, without Lender's prior written consent, compromise, settle, adjust, or extend payment under or with regard to any such Accounts, except to the extent commercially reasonable.


 


Location of the Collateral.  Except in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business, Borrowers agree to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts or general intangibles, the records concerning the Collateral) at Borrowers' address shown above or at such other locations as are reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Upon Lender's request, Borrowers will deliver to Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and Collateral locations relating to Borrowers' operations, including without limitation the following:  (1)  all real property Borrowers own or are purchasing;  (2)   all real property Borrowers are renting or leasing;  (3)  all storage facilities Borrowers own, rent, lease, or use; and  (4)  all other properties where Collateral is or may be located.


 


Removal of the Collateral.  Except in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business, including the sales of inventory, Borrowers shall not remove the Collateral from its existing location without Lender's prior written consent.  To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or other titled property, Borrowers shall not take or permit any action which would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles outside the State of Washington, without Lender's prior written consent.  Borrowers shall, whenever requested, advise Lender of the exact location of the Collateral.


 


Transactions Involving Collateral.  Except in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business, or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral.  Borrowers shall not pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security interest provided for in this Agreement and Permitted Liens, without the prior written consent of Lender.  This includes security interests even if junior in right to the security interests granted under this Agreement other than Permitted Lien.  Unless waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender (and the holder of any Permitted Lien) and shall not be commingled with any other funds; provided however, this requirement shall not constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition.  Upon receipt, Borrower shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender to the extent not required to be delivered to the holder of a Permitted Lien with priority over Lender's security interest therein.


 


Title.  Borrowers represent and warrant to Lender that Borrowers hold good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement and Permitted Liens.  No financing statement covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than those which reflect the security interest created by this Agreement, Permitted Liens or to which Lender has specifically consented.  Borrowers shall defend Lender's rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons.


 


Repairs and Maintenance.  Borrowers agree to keep and maintain, and to cause others to keep and maintain, the Collateral in good order, repair and condition at all times while this Agreement remains in effect, ordinary wear, tear and obsolescence excepted.  Borrowers further agree to pay when due all claims for work done on, or services rendered or material furnished in connection with the Collateral so that no lien or encumbrance may ever attach to or be filed against the Collateral.


 


Taxes, Assessments and Liens.  Borrowers will pay when due all taxes, assessments and liens (other than Permitted Liens) upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness, or upon any of the other Related Documents.  Each Borrower may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if such Borrower is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in Lender's reasonable opinion.  In any contest Borrowers shall defend themselves and Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment before enforcement against the Collateral.  Borrowers shall name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings.  Borrowers further agree to furnish Lender with evidence that such taxes, assessments, and governmental and other charges have been paid in full and in a timely manner.  Borrowers may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if the applicable Borrower is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized.


 


Hazardous Substances.  Except as disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, Borrowers represent and warrant that:  (1)  During the period of Borrowers' ownership of the Collateral, there has been no use, generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance by any person on, under, about or from any of the Collateral other than in compliance with applicable law.  (2)  Borrowers have no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been  (a)  any breach or violation of any Environmental Laws;  (b)  any use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from the Collateral by any prior owners or occupants of any of the Collateral other than in compliance with applicable law; or  (c)  any actual or litigation threatened in writing or claims of any kind by any person relating to such matters  (3)  Neither Borrower nor any tenant, contractor, agent or other authorized user of any of the Collateral shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of or release any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from any of the Collateral other than in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances, including without limitation all Environmental Laws.  Borrowers authorize Lender and its agents to enter upon the Collateral to make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the Collateral with this section of the Agreement.  Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be at Borrowers' expense and for Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrowers or to any other person.  Borrowers hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance on the Collateral.  The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify and defend, shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the termination, expiration or satisfaction of this Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any interest in any of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.


 


Maintenance of Casualty Insurance.  Borrowers shall procure and maintain all risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may reasonably require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Borrowers, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice.  To the extent available by Borrowers’ current carriers, each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Borrower or any other person.  In connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Borrowers will provide Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may reasonably require.  If Borrowers at any time fail to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if Lender so chooses "single interest insurance," which will cover only Lender's interest in the Collateral.

Application of Insurance Proceeds.  Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Collateral if the estimated cost of repair or replacement exceeds $25,000.00, whether or not such casualty or loss is covered by insurance.  Lender may make proof of loss if Borrowers fail to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty.  All proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral (other than proceeds with respect to Collateral subject to a Permitted Lien with seniority over Lender's security interest), including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral.  If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure,  pay or reimburse the applicable Borrower from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration.  If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to the applicable Borrower.  Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which the applicable Borrower has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.


 


Insurance Reserves.  If Borrowers fail to pay their insurance premiums, Lender may require Borrowers to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by monthly payments from Borrowers of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid.  If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are insufficient, Borrowers shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender.  The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Borrowers as they become due.  Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Borrowers, and Lender is not the agent of Borrowers for payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Borrowers.  The responsibility for the payment of premiums shall remain Borrowers' sole responsibility.


 


Financing Statements, Etc.  Borrowers authorize Lender to file UCC financing statements, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to perfect Lender's security interest in the Collateral.  At Lender's reasonable request, Borrowers additionally agrees to sign all other documents that are necessary to perfect, protect, and continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral.  Borrowers will pay all filing fees, title transfer fees, and other fees and costs involved unless prohibited by law or unless Lender is required by law to pay such fees and costs.  Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender to execute documents necessary to, subject to applicable law, transfer title if there is a default.  Lender may file a copy of this Agreement as a financing statement.  If any Borrower changes its Borrower's name or address, or the name or address of any person granting a security interest under this Agreement changes, Borrower will promptly notify the Lender of such change.  Borrowers further will notify Lender prior to any change in the location of any Borrower’s state of organization.


 


BORROWERS' RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS.  Until an Event of Default exists and except as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Borrower may have possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Borrower's right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral.  Until otherwise notified by Lender during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower may collect any of the Collateral consisting of accounts.  If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for that purpose as Borrowers shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Borrowers shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care.  Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness.


 


LENDER'S EXPENDITURES.  If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Borrowers fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Borrowers' failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Borrowers are required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrowers' behalf, may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender reasonably deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral.  All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrowers.  All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will  (A)  be payable on demand;  (B)  be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either  (1)  the term of any applicable insurance policy; or  (2)  the remaining term of the Term Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at such Note's maturity.  The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts.  Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon an Event of Default.

Compliance with Governmental Requirements.  Comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities applicable to the conduct of Borrower's properties, businesses and operations, and to the use or occupancy of the Collateral, including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, except to the extent the non-compliance reasonably could not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as the applicable Borrower has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's reasonable opinion, Lender's interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized in any material respect.  Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest in respect of the foregoing.


 


Inspection.  Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower's other properties and to examine or audit Borrower's books, accounts, and records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower's books, accounts, and records.  If Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any material records (including without limitation computer generated records and computer software programs for the generation of such records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower, upon request of Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access to such records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of any records it may request, all at Borrower's expense.

Additional Assurances.  Make, execute and deliver to Lender such promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments, financing statements, instruments, documents and other agreements as Lender or its attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans and to perfect all Security Interests.


 


NEGATIVE COVENANTS.  Borrowers covenant and agree with Lender that while this Agreement is in effect, Borrowers shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender:


 


Indebtedness and Liens.  (1)  Except for trade debt incurred in the normal course of business, indebtedness to Lender contemplated by this Agreement, indebtedness subordinated to the Indebtedness (including indebtedness to the Subordinated Creditors to the extent subject to the Intercreditor Agreement), purchase money indebtedness and indebtedness in respect of capital leases, create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower's assets (except in connection with or with regard to Permitted Liens), or (3) sell with recourse any of Borrower's accounts, except to Lender.


 


Continuity of Operations.  (1)  Engage in any business activities substantially different than those in which Borrowers are presently engaged,  (2)  cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate with any other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or  (3)  pay any dividends on Parent's stock (other than dividends payable in its stock), provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payment of dividends, if Parent is a "Subchapter S Corporation" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments to satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law which arise solely from their status as shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation because of their ownership of shares of Parent's stock, or purchase or retire any of Parent's outstanding shares.


 


Loans, Acquisitions and Guaranties.  (1)  Loan, invest in or advance money or assets to any other person, enterprise or entity other than to another Borrower or employees of Borrower or the rendering of services or sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business, (2)  purchase, create or acquire any interest in any other enterprise or entity, or  (3)  incur any obligation as surety or guarantor other than in the ordinary course of business.


 


Agreements.  Enter into any agreement containing any provisions, except to the extent such violation or breach reasonably could not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower's obligations under this Agreement or in connection herewith.




 


CESSATION OF ADVANCES.  If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to Borrowers, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:  (A)  an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B)  any Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or files a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt;  (C)  there occurs a Material Adverse Effect or  (D)  any Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender.


 


RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account).  This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.  However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.


 


DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:


 


Payment Default.  Borrowers fail to make any payment when due under the Loan or Borrowers fail to pay within five (5) days of when due  any other monetary obligations in respect of the Loan.


 


Certain Covenant Defaults.  Borrowers fail to comply with any Negative or Financial Covenant.


 


Other Defaults.  Borrowers fail to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrowers and such non-compliance or non-performance continues for twelve (12) days.


 


False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender in writing by Borrowers or on Borrowers' behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished (except to the extent they relate to an earlier date).


 




  





7











  






 


Insolvency.  The dissolution or termination of any Borrower's existence as a going business, the appointment of a receiver for any part of any Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against any Borrower, which in the case of a proceeding commenced against any Borrower, the same is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.


 


Defective Collateralization.  This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien in any Collateral that is subject to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and is capable of being perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of State or California Secretary of State or any other central state governmental filing authority, as applicable) at any time and for any reason.


 


Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of any Borrower or by any governmental agency against any material portion of Collateral securing the Loan.  This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's deposit accounts, including deposit accounts with Lender.  However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by the applicable Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if such Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.


 


Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.


 


Change in Ownership.  Any Change of Control occurs.


 


Adverse Change.  A Material Adverse Effect occurs.


 


Right to Cure.  If any Event of Default, other than an Event of Default on Indebtedness, is curable and if Borrowers have not been given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrowers (even if demand has been made), after Lender sends written notice to Borrowers demanding cure of such default (or even if no such demand has been sent):  (1)  cure the Event of Default within fifteen (15) days; or  (2)  if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender deems in Lender's reasonable discretion to be sufficient to cure the Event of Default and thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.


 


RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any other agreement to extend credit immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional.  In addition and without limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:


 


Accelerate Indebtedness.  Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty which Borrower would be required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Borrowers.


 


Assemble Collateral.  Lender may require Borrowers to deliver to Lender all or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other documents relating to the Collateral.  Lender may require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender.  Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the property of Borrowers to take possession of and remove the Collateral.  If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession, Borrowers agree Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Borrower after repossession.


 


Sell the Collateral.  Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Lender's own name or that of Borrowers.  Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private sale.  Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrowers, and other persons as required by law, reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other disposition of the Collateral is to be made.  However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after Event of Default occurs, enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification of sale.  The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition.  All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until repaid.


 


Appoint Receiver.  Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding or pending foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Collateral and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness.  The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law.  Lender's right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount.  Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.


 


Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts.  Lender, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the Collateral.  Lender may at any time in Lender's discretion transfer any Collateral into Lender's own name or that of Lender's nominee and receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine.  Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due.  For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Borrowers, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrowers; change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of any Collateral.  To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.


 


Obtain Deficiency.  If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrowers for any deficiency remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement.  Borrowers shall be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.

Other Rights and Remedies.  Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time.  In addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law, in equity, or otherwise.


 


Election of Remedies.  Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, the Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.  Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrowers under this Agreement, after Borrowers' failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.


 


CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Borrowers agree upon Lender's request to submit to the Jurisdiction of the court of King County, State of Washington.


 


COUNTERPART PROVISION. This document may be signed in any number of counterparts, which, when delivered in the original to Lender, shall together constitute one original document.

Reasonable costs and expenses include Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services.

Borrowers additionally waive any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests.  Each Participant shall have the benefit of any tax or LIBOR indemnity contained herein.

No Waiver by Lender.  Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender.  No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.  A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement.  No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Borrowers, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Borrowers' obligations as to any future transactions.  Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.


 


Notices.  Subject to applicable law, and except for notice required or allowed by law to be given in another manner, any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement.  Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's addresses.  For notice purposes, Borrowers agree to keep Lender informed at all times of Borrowers' current address.  Subject to applicable law, and except for notice required or allowed by law to be given in another manner, if there is more than one Borrower, any notice given by Lender to any Borrower is deemed to be notice given to all Borrowers.


 


Severability.  If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance.  If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable.  If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement.  Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.


 


Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower.  Under no circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other financial accommodation to any of Borrower's subsidiaries or affiliates.


 


Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements by or on behalf of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Related Documents shall bind Borrowers' successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.
