Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of any survey of the Premises desired by Purchaser or required for the purchase (the “Survey”); provided, however, in the event Purchaser obtains a Survey, it shall be certified to SummitBridge. Purchaser expressly agrees that it is taking title to the Land and Improvements pursuant to this Agreement subject to all encumbrances and matters identified in the Title Commitment, and that Purchaser’s sole recourse for any encumbrances and matters of title which are not disclosed in the Title Commitment shall be against the Title Company under a policy of title insurance purchased by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense, and under no circumstances shall SummitBridge or Receiver be liable therefor; provided, however, that if Purchaser chooses to proceed to Closing prior to receipt of the Title Commitment, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is taking title to the Land and Improvements subject to all encumbrances and matters of existence whether or not the same ultimately is or would have been disclosed by the Title Commitment, and that in such instance Purchaser shall have no recourse against SummitBridge, Receiver or the Title Company for matters relating to title of the Land or Improvements; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed to relieve SummitBridge of its obligation to pursue the Post-Closing Foreclosures under Section 7.

 (a) Following the Closing, SummitBridge shall, at its sole cost and expense, commence and prosecute foreclosure actions to foreclose the Ohio Mortgage and the Washington Deed of Trust (collectively, the “Post-Closing Foreclosures”). To the extent practicable, the SummitBridge Junior Mortgages shall expressly remain undisturbed by the Post-Closing Foreclosures. The Post-Closing Foreclosures shall also, to the extent practicable, leave undisturbed Purchaser’s title to the Premises as in effect pursuant to the parties’ performance under this Agreement. However, in the event that SummitBridge determines in its reasonable sole discretion that any of the SummitBridge Junior Mortgages must be divested, Purchaser shall, promptly upon SummitBridge’s request, re-execute substantially similar mortgages to replace the SummitBridge Junior Mortgages. Further, in the event that completing any of the Post-Closing Foreclosures requires the Purchaser’s title to any portion of the Premises to be divested or otherwise prejudiced, SummitBridge agrees to assign its rights to bid the Senior Secured Debt with respect to such portion of the Premises so affected, or to otherwise credit bid the maximum amount of the remaining Senior Secured Debt in order convey to and re-vest title in Purchaser for nominal consideration. SummitBridge shall use reasonable commercial efforts to deliver marketable title to the Land and to cause the issuance of title policies, subject only to the SummitBridge Junior Mortgages, existing zoning laws, restrictions of record, taxes due and payable and other items which would not interfere with the ownership and operation of the Land.
  
 (b) Following the Post-Closing Foreclosures and SummitBridge’s reasonable commercial efforts to deliver to Purchaser marketable title to the Land as set forth in Section 7(a), above, SummitBridge shall assign to Purchaser for nominal consideration the remaining Senior Secured Debt, if any.
  
 (c) Within a reasonable time following the Closing, Receiver shall at Purchaser’s written request, terminate the leasehold interest in the Premises of any tenant that is subject to the Action, which termination shall be recorded in the land records of the county where the respective portion of the Premises is situate.
  
 8. No Apportionments.
  
 (a) Purchaser is purchasing the Premises AS-IS, WHERE-IS with respect to, among other things, all taxes, assessments, fees, charges, utilities, water and other consumables, and there shall be no apportionment or proration for amounts due on account of time periods prior to Purchaser’s ownership of the Premises, all of which amounts are expressly assumed by the Purchaser.
  
 	 
	5
	  

	 

  
 (b) Purchaser shall pay any closing fee or closing charge of the Title Company or settlement agent who closes the transaction.
  
 (c) The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing.
  
 9. Closing Documents.
  
 (a) At the Closing, SummitBridge or the Receiver, as the case may be, at its sole cost and expense, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser the following, each of which shall be in form and substance in reasonable conformity with this Agreement:
  
 (i) Receiver’s Deed(s) (the “Deed”), conveying to Purchaser fee simple absolute title to the Premises, in particular: a receiver’s deed conveying the Ohio Property to USAC Ross; and a receiver’s deed conveying the Washington Property to USAC WA, which conveyance of title shall be subject to liens and encumbrances set forth in the Title Commitment or otherwise permitted hereunder, which Deed shall be in recordable form, duly executed by the Receiver and acknowledged;
  
 (ii) A bill of sale (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C) without warranty (other than that Receiver has not previously conveyed or encumbered its interest, if any) conveying, transferring and selling to Purchaser all right, title and interest of SummitBridge and Receiver in and to all of the personal property subject to the Receiver Order located at or relating to the Premises, including, without limitation, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment;
  
 (iii) An affidavit of title in a form reasonably acceptable to Receiver and the Title Company;
  
 (iv) Certified copies of the Receiver Order, to be recorded in the respective counties where the portions of the Premises are situate; and
  
 (v) A duly executed counterpart of SummitBridge and Receiver to the settlement statement or closing statement.
  
 (b) At the Closing, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall deliver to SummitBridge and Receiver, as the case may be, the following, each of which shall be in form and substance in reasonable conformity with this Agreement:
  
 (i) The consideration required pursuant to Section 2, in the amount and form required thereby;
  
 (ii) A duly executed counterpart of the Purchaser to the settlement statement or closing statement;
  
 (iii) A resolution or consent of an authorized officer or member of Purchaser, authorizing the purchase of the Premises and the execution of documentation in connection therewith; and

 10. Brokerage. Neither party hereto is represented by a broker for the purchase of the Premises, and SummitBridge, Receiver and Purchaser each covenant, represent and warrant that it has had no dealings or communications with any broker or agent in connection with the consummation of this Agreement, and each covenants and agrees to pay, hold harmless and indemnify the other(s) from and against any and all cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or liability for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any broker or agent with whom the indemnifying party dealt with respect to this Agreement or the negotiation thereof. 
  
 11. Condemnation and Destruction. 
  
 (a) Risk of loss to the Premises from fire or other casualty shall be borne by SummitBridge and Receiver in their respective interested capacities until Closing. If the Premises or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing, which damage in either party’s reasonable judgment materially affects the value of the Premises, and if Receiver is unable or chooses not to restore, within ninety (90) calendar days following such casualty, the damaged portion of the Premises to a condition substantially equivalent to that which existed immediately prior to such casualty, either party may elect to terminate this Agreement. If either party elects to terminate this Agreement, it shall notify the other in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after Purchaser has received written notice of such damage or destruction from Receiver (unless within such thirty (30) day period Receiver shall have advised Purchaser of its intention to restore the damaged portion of the Premises as provided in the preceding sentence, in which case the Closing shall be extended for up to ninety (90) days following such casualty), and this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other with regard to the matters provided for herein except for the rights and obligations which expressly survive the termination hereof. If Receiver does not restore the damaged portion of the Premises as provided above, and if neither party elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, then the parties shall attempt to negotiate a reduction in the Purchase Price based on the amount of damage to the Premises. If the parties are able to agree on such a reduction, the transaction shall proceed as contemplated herein, but at the reduced Purchase Price. If the parties do not agree to a price reduction in writing within sixty (60) days of the damage, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate.
  
 (b) If prior to the Closing all or any material portion of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Receiver, becomes the subject of a condemnation proceeding by a public or quasi-public authority having the power of eminent domain, Receiver shall immediately notify Purchaser thereof in writing and either party may elect to terminate this Agreement. If either party elects to terminate this Agreement, it shall so notify the other within thirty (30) calendar days after Purchaser has received written notice of such proceedings from Receiver, and this Agreement shall be deemed null and void and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other with regard to the matters provided for herein except for the rights and obligations which expressly survive the termination hereof. If neither party shall elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, then the transaction shall proceed as contemplated herein, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all proceeds of any award or payment in lieu thereof, and there shall be no reduction of the Purchase Price.

 12. Representations and Warranties and Covenants of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants the following:
  
 (a) Both before and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not (i) issue any press release or other publicity of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (ii) except as otherwise required by law, disclose or advertise SummitBridge’s name or the names of any SummitBridge’s affiliates, or disclose the Purchase Price, in any press release, advertising or promotional materials with respect to the Premises, in each case, without the prior written consent of SummitBridge in each instance. SummitBridge shall notify Purchaser of its consent or refusal within ten (10) business days after Purchaser’s request for consent, with such consent being granted or withheld in SummitBridge’s sole discretion. Both before and after the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it will keep confidential, and will make reasonable efforts to have the respective partners, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, counsel, accountants and affiliates of Purchaser, keep confidential, the terms of this Agreement, and all information, records, materials and other data pertaining to the Premises which was acquired or learned from this Agreement or the negotiations relating thereto or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent necessary to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement. This Section is not intended to prohibit, and does not (i) prohibit the release of information that is already public; (ii) prohibit Purchaser from providing any information concerning the purchase of the Premises to its advisers (attorneys, accountants, lenders, title insurers, and others assisting with the purchase); or (iii) limit or restrict disclosures as may be required by law (pursuant to State or local open meeting or open record laws, or so-called “sunshine” acts), but only to the extent required by law.
  
 (b) Each party making up Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the power and authority to enter into the Agreement and complete the transaction contemplated hereby. The officer executing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser has the power and authority to bind Purchaser.
  
 (c) If this Agreement shall be terminated by either party, Purchaser shall deliver to Receiver (at Receiver’s request and without cost to Receiver) copies of all reports, studies, tests, analyses and other information and documents compiled by Purchaser in reviewing and inspecting the Premises.
  
 (d) Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold SummitBridge and Receiver, and each of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective officers, directors and employees, harmless of, and from any claim, proceeding, suit, damage, liability, loss, cost, charge or expense or any other liability of every nature, kind and description whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, whether or not legal proceedings are commenced, and if legal proceedings are commenced, including fees and expenses incurred at trial and all levels of appeal) incurred or suffered by any of the foregoing entities or persons by reason of, or resulting from or arising out of any activity, including, without limitation, tests, inspections, studies and/or investigations performed or caused to be performed by Purchaser on the Premises.

 13. SummitBridge / Receiver Default. If SummitBridge or Receiver shall default in performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which default remains uncured for five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Purchaser, then Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a breach or default by SummitBridge or Receiver of an obligation that survives closing (including, without limitation, obligations under Section 7 herein), Purchaser waives all rights, remedies and damages in connection therewith, including punitive, consequential and actual monetary damages, if any, incurred as a result of such breach or default. Purchaser further covenants not to sue SummitBridge or the Receiver in furtherance of the foregoing. 
  
 14. Purchaser’s Default.
  
 (a) If Purchaser shall default in performance of its obligations under this Agreement, which default remains uncured for five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from SummitBridge or Receiver, the SummitBridge or Receiver (as the case may be, based on which party issued the notice of default) shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Purchaser. The sole right of SummitBridge or Receiver in such case shall be to recover and the sole liability of Purchaser shall be to pay damages in the amount of the actual costs incurred in connection with this Agreement, including professionals’ fees. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees that (i) all indemnification obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement and/or any other indemnification agreement delivered to SummitBridge or Receiver in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Premises prior to or after the execution of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnification Obligations”) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing and (ii) Purchaser shall not be exculpated from liability with respect to (x) a breach of Section 12(a) hereof and/or (y) the Indemnification Obligations. Purchaser further agrees that SummitBridge and Receiver shall have full recourse against Purchaser and any other person or entity who breaches Section 12(a) or who has Indemnification Obligations, and SummitBridge or Receiver shall have the ability to seek and obtain any money or other judgment against any of the foregoing persons or entities with respect to any such breach or Indemnification Obligation(s).

The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note. The Loan shall have a term of two (2) years (the “Loan Term”).

	5
	  

	 

  
 2.6 Late Charge.

The Borrowers agree that the damages to be sustained by the Lender for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the amount of the greater of five percent (5%) of the amount overdue or $500 is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty.
  
 2.7 Authorization; Set Off. The Lender is authorized to charge any account of any Borrower at the Lender for the amount of any and all payments due under this Agreement, on the Note, or with respect to any other indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lender. If any default occurs hereunder or with respect to any other indebtedness of any Borrower to the Lender, or any attachment of any balance of the Borrowers occurs or is contemplated, any indebtedness from the Lender to the Borrowers may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Note or other indebtedness to the Lender, whether or not the Note or such other indebtedness, or any part thereof, shall then be due. 
  
 2.8 Fees. For the Loan hereunder, at closing, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender an origination fee equal to $61,750; provided, however, if Lender’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loan Documents and Purchase and Sale Agreement (including performance under Section 7 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement) exceeds $61,750, Borrowers agree to reimburse Lender for such difference promptly upon demand (the “Origination Fee”).

 SECTION 5. [RESERVED]
  
 SECTION 6. SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS
  
 6.1 Security for Obligations. As security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, the Borrowers do hereby pledge, assign, transfer, deliver and grant to the Lender a continuing and unconditional first priority security interest in and to any and all property of the Borrowers, of any kind or description, tangible or intangible, wheresoever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, including the following (all of which property, along with the products and proceeds therefrom, are individually and collectively referred to as the “Collateral”; the capitalized terms used in this Section 6.1 and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings as provided in the UCC):

 (b) the additional property of the Borrowers, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, and wherever now or hereafter located, together with all additions and accessions thereto, substitutions, betterments and replacements therefor, products and Proceeds therefrom, and all of the Borrowers’ books and records and recorded data relating thereto (regardless of the medium of recording or storage), together with all of the Borrowers’ right, title and interest in and to all computer software required to utilize, create, maintain and process any such records or data on electronic media, identified and set forth as follows:

This provision is intended to facilitate a refinance or sale of the properties encumbered by the Mortgages and, as a result, the funds required by this provision for release(s) of the Mortgage(s) are separate pay-down amounts without respect to any then-existing reduction of principal balance already made under the Loan pursuant to regularly-scheduled payments in accordance with the Note.
  
 	 
	7
	  

	 

  
 6.3 Possession and Transfer of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrowers shall be entitled to possession or use of the Collateral (other than Instruments or Documents, Tangible Chattel Paper, Investment Property consisting of certificated securities and other Collateral required to be delivered to the Lender pursuant to this Section 6). The cancellation or surrender of the Note, upon payment or otherwise, shall not affect the right of the Lender to retain the Collateral for any other of the Obligations. The Borrowers shall not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), license, lease or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to any of the Collateral, except that the Borrowers may sell Inventory in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents, the Borrowers may sell, assign, transfer, and convey any Collateral between them, and the same shall not constitute a breach of any Loan Document or an Event of Default.
  
 6.4 Financing Statements. The Borrowers shall, at the Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time, execute (if applicable) and deliver to the Lender such financing statements, amendments and other documents and do such acts as the Lender deems necessary in order to establish and maintain valid, attached and perfected first priority security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Lender, free and clear of all Liens and claims and rights of third parties whatsoever, except Permitted Liens. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto without the signature of any Borrower that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) is comprised of all assets of the Borrowers or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprising a part of the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or within greater detail as the grant of the security interest set forth herein, and (b) contain any other information required by Section 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether a Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any Organizational Identification Number issued to any Borrower, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to which the Collateral relates.

In addition, each Borrower shall make appropriate entries on its books and records disclosing the Lender’s security interests in the Collateral. 
  
 6.5 Additional Collateral. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender immediately upon its demand, such other collateral as the Lender may from time to time request, should the value of the Collateral, in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, decline, deteriorate, depreciate or become impaired, and does hereby grant to the Lender a continuing security interest in such other collateral, which, when pledged, assigned and transferred to the Lender shall be and become part of the Collateral. The Lender’s security interests in all of the foregoing Collateral shall be valid, complete and perfected whether or not covered by a specific assignment.
  
 	 
	8
	  

	 

  
 6.6 Preservation of the Collateral. The Lender may, but is not required, to take such actions from time to time as the Lender deems appropriate to maintain or protect the Collateral. The Lender shall have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if the Lender takes such action as the Borrowers shall reasonably request in writing which is not inconsistent with the Lender’s status as a secured party, but the failure of the Lender to comply with any such request shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care; provided, however, the Lender’s responsibility for the safekeeping of the Collateral shall (i) be deemed reasonable if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Lender accords its own property, and (ii) not extend to matters beyond the control of the Lender, including acts of God, war, insurrection, riot or governmental actions. In addition, any failure of the Lender to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior or third parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral, not so requested by the Borrowers, shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. The Borrowers shall have the sole responsibility for taking such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of the Borrower and the Lender in the Collateral against prior or third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where Collateral consists in whole or in part of securities, each Borrower represents to, and covenants with, the Lender that each Borrower has made arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the securities (including rights to convert or subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and each Borrower agrees that the Lender shall have no responsibility or liability for informing the Borrowers of any such or other changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto.
  
 6.7 Other Actions as to any and all Collateral. Each Borrower further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the Lender to ensure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender’s security interest in any and all of the Collateral, including (a) causing the Lender’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender’s security interest in such Collateral, (b) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender’s security interest in such Collateral, (c) obtaining governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person obligated on Collateral, (d) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, and (e) taking all actions required by the UCC in effect from time to time or by other law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction. Each Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless against claims of any Persons not a party to this Agreement concerning disputes arising over the Collateral.
  
 	 
	9
	  

	 

  
 6.8 Collateral in the Possession of a Warehouseman or Bailee. If any of the Collateral at any time is in the possession of a warehouseman or bailee, the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Lender thereof, and shall promptly obtain a collateral access agreement in form satisfactory to the Lender. The Lender agrees with the Borrowers that the Lender shall not give any instructions to such warehouseman or bailee pursuant to such collateral access agreement unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would occur after taking into account any action by the Borrowers with respect to the warehouseman or bailee.

 11.6 Other Material Obligations. Any default in the payment when due, or in the performance or observance of, any material obligation of, or condition agreed to by, any Obligor with respect to any material purchase or lease of goods or services where such default, singly or in the aggregate with all other such defaults, might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 SECTION 12. REMEDIES
  
 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents, in any written agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement or the Loan Documents) relating to any of the Obligations or any security therefor, as a secured party under the UCC or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender may, at its option upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 11.7, all Obligations shall be automatically due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of the Lender. Each Borrower hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of release, with or without consideration, of any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors or of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary. In addition to the foregoing:
  
 12.1 Possession and Assembly of Collateral. The Lender may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which the Lender already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may at any time enter into any of the Borrowers’ premises where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and the Lender shall have the right to store and conduct a sale of the same in any of the Borrowers’ premises without cost to the Lender. At the Lender’s request, the Borrowers will, at the Borrowers’ sole expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at a place or places to be designated by the Lender which is reasonably convenient to the Lender and the Borrowers.
  
 12.2 Sale of Collateral. The Lender may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as the Lender may deem proper, and the Lender may purchase any or all of the Collateral at any such sale. Each Borrower acknowledges that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral because of certain legal and/or practical restrictions and provisions which may be applicable to the Collateral and, therefore, may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers. Each Borrower consents to any such private sale so made even though at places and upon terms less favorable than if the Collateral were sold at public sale. The Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Lender may apply the net proceeds, after deducting all costs, expenses, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and sale of the Collateral and the Obligations, to the payment of the Note and/or any of the other Obligations, returning the excess proceeds, if any, to the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with interest at the Default Rate. Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by the Lender at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of such disposition. Each Borrower hereby confirms, approves and ratifies all acts and deeds of the Lender relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof, and expressly waives any and all claims of any nature, kind or description which it has or may hereafter have against the Lender or its representatives, by reason of taking, selling or collecting any portion of the Collateral. Each Borrower consents to releases of the Collateral at any time (including prior to default) and to sales of the Collateral in groups, parcels or portions, or as an entirety, as the Lender shall deem appropriate. Each Borrower expressly absolves the Lender from any loss or decline in market value of any Collateral by reason of delay in the enforcement or assertion or nonenforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement.
  
 	 
	22
	  

	 

  
 12.3 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Borrowers or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.
  
 12.4 UCC and Offset Rights. The Lender may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any other agreements between any Obligor and the Lender, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, including costs of collection and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, and in such order of application as the Lender may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of the Lender to any Obligor, however created or arising, including balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Obligor in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to the Lender. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and each Obligor, hereby waives the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit the Lender in the exercise of its right, which is hereby acknowledged, to appropriate at any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from the Lender to any Obligor.
  
 	 
	23
	  

	 

  
 12.5 Additional Remedies. The Lender shall have the right and power to: (a) instruct the Borrowers, at their own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Debtors, to make payment directly to the Lender of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or the Lender may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of the Lender, and/or of the assignment to the Lender of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to the Lender of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such Persons obligated thereon; (b) enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (c) take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon; (d) extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) the Note, any other of the Obligations, any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to the Note or any of the Obligations; (e) grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Note, any of the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to the Note or any of the Obligations; (f) transfer the whole or any part of securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of the Lender or the Lender’s nominee without disclosing, if the Lender so desires, that such securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of the Lender, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of such securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that the Lender or such nominee makes any further transfer of such securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether the Lender or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same; (g) vote the Collateral; (h) make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any such action of the Lender as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of the Borrowers hereunder, nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive the Lender’s rights and remedies at law, in equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, any Borrower, any guarantor or other Person liable to the Lender for the Obligations; and (i) at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or the Lender’s rights hereunder, under the Note or under any of the other Obligations.
  
 Each Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms whatever the Lender may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that the Lender shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral.
  
 	 
	24
	  

	 

  
 12.6 Attorney-in-Fact. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Lender (and any officer of the Lender or any Person designated by the Lender for that purpose) as the Borrower’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in the Borrower’s name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to (a) take such actions as are permitted in this Agreement, (b) execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as the Lender may require to perfect and preserve the Lender’s security interest in, and to enforce such interests in the Collateral, and (c) carry out any remedy provided for in this Agreement, including endorsing the Borrower’s name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of the Borrower, changing the address of the Borrower to that of the Lender, opening all envelopes addressed to the Borrower and applying any payments contained therein to the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. Each Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Agreement.
  
 12.7 No Marshaling. The Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Lender’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
  
 12.8 Application of Proceeds. The Lender will within three (3) Business Days after receipt of cash or solvent credits from collection of items of payment, proceeds of Collateral or any other source, apply the whole or any part thereof against the Obligations secured hereby. The Lender shall further have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of such payments and such credits shall be made on the Obligations, and such determination shall be conclusive upon the Borrowers. Any proceeds of any disposition by the Lender of all or any part of the Collateral may be first applied by the Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the Collateral, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses as provided for in Section 13 hereof.
  
 12.9 No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by the Lender except in writing. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of the Lender to exercise any remedy available to the Lender in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. Each Borrower agrees that in the event that the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other agreements with the Lender, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to the Lender, and further agrees that the Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 13.1 Obligations Absolute.

 13.3 Amendments; Waivers. No delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by the Lender, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 13.11 Enforceability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by, unenforceable or invalid under any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be severable and be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
  
 13.12 Survival of Borrower Representations. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein shall, notwithstanding any investigation by the Lender, be deemed material and relied upon by the Lender and shall survive the making and execution of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the issuance of the Note, and shall be deemed to be continuing representations and warranties until such time as the Borrower has fulfilled all of its Obligations to the Lender, and the Lender has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

Each Borrower agrees to defend (with counsel satisfactory to the Lender), protect, indemnify, exonerate and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and distributions of any kind or nature (including the disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel for each Indemnified Party thereto, which shall also include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnified Party), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local laws or regulations, including securities laws, Environmental Laws, commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, including the making or issuance and management of the Loans, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans, the enforcement of the Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Note, any other instruments and documents delivered hereunder, or under any other agreement between the Borrowers and the Lender; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not have any obligations hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to matters determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have been caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on demand, and failing prompt payment, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by the Borrowers, shall be added to the Obligations of the Borrower and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
  
 13.19 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by any Obligor or the transfer to the Lender of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of the Lender, the Obligations shall automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
  
 13.20 Customer Identification - USA Patriot Act Notice. The Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”), and the Lender’s policies and practices, the Lender is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and such other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.
